    Orange County Choppers Pics!

    Joe, That pic numbered SOC5 (the one showing the drivetrain and tail light) - do you have a full size hi-rez copy of that? If so, could you email it to me maybe? There are a couple of parts I'm trying to get a close look at that are fuzzing-up when I enlarge it

    So when's the SVS vs DLM vs Heffner competition??

    Re: So when\'s the SVS vs DLM vs Heffner competition?? Max, It's cool that you are happy with your car, but you are saying stuff and making insinuations about Paolo that is SIMPLY NOT TRUE. You are saying his tranny WASN'T broken? Are you saying he had problems with his car and sent it back...

    Side things... (not sure what they are called) to fill the gap

    Russ, I agree with you - but to each their own I guess. There are also people who put foot high wings, splitters and scoops and crap on their car. To me, I like it from the factory, and almost anything else looks "tacked on" (the only exception I can think of is the guy with the SRT with the...

    Jay Leno and his Viper

    Jay needs to have someone look at his hood gap - its way off.

    2000 RT/10 for ¢¢¢

    I disagree with you on both points. Blue book values are not "pie in the sky" they are based on dealer reported sales. Look around on eBay and you will see '01s going for the 50k range. Maybe a few grand either way, but you have to remember asking price and transaction price are two different...

    New Pistons

    I just talked to Jason Heffner about this last week. Personally, I would look at a tuner who has DONE what you want (i.e. beat up the pistons and had them not fail). I would say Henn*es*y, Heffner or Doug Levin would be able to tell you plenty about forged pistons. I would also bet 2 out of...

    2000 RT/10 for ¢¢¢

    I am personally not a big believer in the "winter dip". In my entire life I have never known car prices to actually RISE in the spring. Maybe they depreciate faster in winter, or the annual depreciation curve is lop-sided towards being higher in winter, but I have never in my entire life of...

    2000 RT/10 for ¢¢¢

    Nothing unnerving about that. Used goods are sold "as is with no warranty". How often do you see some naieve person saying "well i just realized my car had a panel painted I'm thinking about asking for my money back". There is no money back warranty on cars, so they always need checked out...

    Is this a good deal

    AFY!!!?!?!??!?!!? Are you back in Framingham????? If so, this is GREAT NEWS! I heard about your father from a friend just last week - I am really sorry my friend. We need to get together... I'm on the road doing shows every weekend until after thanskgiving - but we need to get together.

    Wha do you think about the extra injectors set up on a S/C system

    I dunno if I would go that route + paxton. That is basically throttle body injection, and that was "high tech" back in like 1982. TBI systems have been given up in favor of EFI, then TPI, and lately SFI. Your car is always going to be better with one injector per cylinder, IMO, just like the...

    Why does "Road & Track" bash the Viper?

    Re: Why does BWright, I didn't have enough waking hours today to read this whole thread, but I think I have the gist of it. Russ has an excellent point. It seems to me, that whenever I read a "comparison" article, a set of criteria is invented FOR THAT TEST that seems to skew the outcome...

    trade

    Don't forget the possible tax advantage. Here in MA, sales tax is 5%, and you pay it on the difference between your trade and your new car. So if the SRT was $80k, and you get $50k, you are paying tax on $30k ($1,500) instead of on $80k ($4,000). So if someone comes along and offers you $52k...

    Anyone know about these two GTSs for sale?

    Well that ACR has 30k miles on it, which is more than most Vipers, IMO.

    C6 to suck the doors off competition- By Bob Lutz

    That is irrelevant, IMO. You can get 600RWHP+ from a Viper engine, but so what? That doesn't take cost and, more importantly, reliability into account. I don't know any tuners that would happily give a 3/36 warranty on their biggest and best and most highly tuned package knowing people will...

    VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!!

    Re: VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!! Russ, Thanks for taking the time to write that... my post was based loosely on my reading of (I think) either Lingenfelters "small block chevy performance" or the turbo book by Corky bell... as it was explained to me, the mass airflow is a superior...

    MASH'S APEX 550 STROKER

    Re: MASH\'S APEX 550 STROKER Jason that sounds MORE than reasonable. Bill, what do you have to say? almost three *thousand* folks have viewed this thread and are waiting to hear a conclusion. How about you send one of your guys, and that guy goes with Jason to the unbiased 3rd party for a...

    VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!!

    Re: VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!! I don't think this thread is EVER going to die. Regarding the situation at hand, I'm wondering if temperature and pressure tell the whole story? You can have a straw with 20psi of air moving through it and a dryer-hose with 10psi, and the flow would...

    Problems with Woodhouse frame recall, Details inside.......

    Janni's cool - and I heard the voicemail too (and I never heard Jannis voice) and it sounded legitimately like someone calling him to [******] him out, so it sounds like someone is playing a joke here. If it was a guy that left it, I wouldn't be too proud of the fact that you sound like a...

    Problems with Woodhouse frame recall, Details inside.......

    I honestly don't know... want my opinion? :) I speak to Paolo a fair bit, and I think he's first a really nice and genuine guy, and second pretty energetic and full of life. The kind of guy you want to hang out at the bar or club with, and definitely not someone who is afraid to speak his...

    Problems with Woodhouse frame recall, Details inside.......

    Good deal Bob! I'm glad this seems to be all-set to be worked out. Seems like a case of Bob being extremely busy, there being some confusion on how the refund would be handled. Anyone in business has the occasional issue that arises - it's how you deal with them that counts. So Bob what...

    Problems with Woodhouse frame recall, Details inside.......

    Bob and Paolo are on the phone now... let's hope they work this out to their mutual satisfaction. Janni, sorry if I came across the wrong way - I thought you were "snapping everyone back in line" but it seemed most were being objective. It seems that Woodhouse does have some "issues" in the...

    MASH'S APEX 550 STROKER

    Re: MASH\'S APEX 550 STROKER I will post the pics when I get to the office... they completely back up what Jason wrote in his post - you can see the scored cylinders, and you can see the material caked in the intake.
