    Yea or nay vote for the new viper coupe

    Not ready to sell my 2001 GTS so the short term answer is no. Like the looks, needs better performance than the Z06. Maybe in the next few years.

    Damage from ford, how bad is it? pics

    I once was in an accident where a tractor trailer backed up into the front of my car at a red light. The cop wrote the accident up that I ran into the back of the truck. I told my insurance agent that in no way did I run into the back of the truck and he pursued it. It took a year, but I...

    THE REAL SCOOP ON THE NEW COUPE, ITS FINAL (READ)

    The Z06 is no Beauty! The lines are a hack of the C5 IMO which was a much better looking car. The C5 was wider, lower, and longer with better flowing lines and didn't have ugly imitation Ferrari headlights. I'll reserve judgement on the new coupe's design until I see it in person. Pictures...

    Are Gen I parts becoming scarce??

    Someone from the VCA may want to approach Eckler's Corvette parts in Florida. They purchased all the old Vette tooling from GM and other suppliers and are authorized by GM to reproduce all sorts of vette parts(interiror trim, fiberglass, mechanicals for many different year corvettes). They may...

    Gotta start the winter projects....

    I vote for black on the red car. I guess the red would have to match perfectly if it was to look right.

    Cut the Noise (3 Foot mufflers?)

    Blue GTS, I don't have a supercharged Viper, but I added a rear exhaust fixture from Mufflex to my borla system which has stock cats and the two Borla mufflers. The system Mufflex made uses two spintech mufflers where the stock muffler would be located. It definitley reduced the sound level of...

    Does your snake have a lowered seat?

    I'm 6'2" and installed the 1" lowering kit. It worked out real well. Now I have plenty of head clearance and am no longer looking into the sun visor. Only down side is the kit lowers the front of the seat as well and there is now less thigh support. I also installed the Roe Clutch Pedal...

    Who has (or needs) a seat lowering kit?

    How did you lower/modify the back stock rails? I think I'd prefer that seating position rather than lowering the whole seat 1" with the kit.

    Who has (or needs) a seat lowering kit?

    If you're 5'8" I guess taking the seating lowering may be more comfortable. I'm 6'2" with 34" length pants and definitely needed the extra head room with the 1" lowering kit which I installed. The only down side(no pun intended) is with the lowering kit, you get less support under your thighs...

    Buying my first Viper and am paranoid... need advice.

    Cudaman, I purchased a 2001 Blue GTS/Black Interior about 3 months ago. 61K seems slightly high, but if its the color, car, and condition you want paying extra is always worth it. I paid 56K plus $1400 for an additional 5 year warranty for a car with 3700 miles with 3.55 gears and Borla...

    Warning about Elite Motorsports

    From everything I've read about Elite, it appears that they are out of business. Scott just hasn't realized it yet. I've bought some stuff from both JonB and Roe and would buy from them again(great products and service from both!), but at this point I would not consider buy anything from Elite...

    Got Bad News From The Dealer Today - Animal Living In My RT/10

    Yeah, I had an eighty two vette which sat in my garage for a couple of years. I finnaly got around to fixing the exhaust system on it and started the car up. The car made some strange noises and when I backed it out of the garage a 12" sewer rat was lying on the floor dead split in half...

    Modifying Borla 3" Exhaust - Eliminate 1500 RPM Drone

    Re: Modifying Borla 3 I asked Denny at mufflex(www.mufflex.com) the following with regard to some of the feedback I have received in this thread. 1)Will the x-pipe alone substantially reduce the drone on a Borla? 2)Is the back half of the new Borla(Two additional mufflers) available to add on...

    Re: Modified Borla 3\" Vs. New Corsa Bump, Just looking for some feedback. To achieve no drone would you bother modifying the borla or going with an all new Corsa cat-back?
