    Houston Vipers t.v. appearance

    Re: Houston Vipers t.v. appearance Pics!! Can you believe that guy with the blue & white GTS wouldn't let Matt drive it. Sounds like a real "stick-in-the-mudd" kind of guy. And then the nerve of that guy to spin the tires as he drove away. I bet he will not get invited back.

    Viper vs LS1's, etc, WE DON'T STAND A CHANCE

    Re: Viper vs LS1\'s, etc, WE DON\'T STAND A CHANCE The second car listed above appears to be running nitrous. The mph is too high and the last mod listed is Compucar kit. That's a nitrous kit.

    Viper vs LS1's, etc, WE DON'T STAND A CHANCE

    Re: Viper vs LS1\'s, etc, WE DON\'T STAND A CHANCE Viper owners need to pull their heads out of the sand. Skip is just telling it like he sees it instead of trying to ignore the truth. An automatic Corvette with sticky tires and a few modifications will typically beat a Viper, SRT-10 or GTS...

    Need Houston Area Members Help

    There is a Houston Viper Club meeting this Saturday May 22. If the SRT owner attended you could have many Viper people take a look at it and give you their thoughts. Otherwise... what area of Houston? Houston is a big city. I'm on the southwest side if the car is out my way.

    Viper Comp Coupe - 11.2 @ 130 woah

    The Venom 600 is my car and it can't weigh much less than any other Viper SRT-10's. The car may have lost a little weight from the removal of the stock exhaust crossover system and replacement of the stock cats with high flow cats. The replacement high flow cats were much smaller and therefore...

    Viper Comp Coupe - 11.2 @ 130 woah

    Yes. I have made a couple of 11 second runs in my 500 mile bone stock SRT-10. I also let another friend drive it at the track and he was able to make an 11 second run. My best run was 11.86 at 123 mph back in February of 2003. This was with a sixty foot time of around 1.97 sec. This was at the...

    Viper Comp Coupe - 11.2 @ 130 woah

    Looks like you are implying that weather correction is a bad thing. Weather correction of et's is a good thing. It is possible to hit the drag strip on a very cool, low humidity, high barometric pressure day yielding a negative density altitudes. This would result in times and mph that would be...

    How much power is the 42lb injectors good for?

    As an FYI... The lime green 42 lb/hr injectors are rated at a fuel pressure lower than what Vipers use. At Viper fuel pressure, lime green 42 lb/hr injectors flow ~50 lb/hr.

    I took a rock

    The lens is not available separately. I don't remember the price for the lamp, but it was just under $100 retail. I just got two from Chuck Tator the Viper Wizard. He gives 20% off retail and free shipping as a VCA discount.

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    Funny that Lee mentioned a jacked up Nova. Either he knows J-Rod or he read him like a book. Hey J-Rod, you still got that old Nova. Sorry J-Rod, but this was just too funny to resist... And it's one of our other friends that had the big block Vega, not J-Rod.

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    Lee, Glad you liked the Corvette for the wife comment. Although I posted that as a joke, it's really true. But Corvettes are also great cars for car guys too. They're pretty good work cars too. You know, when you need to leave it at the airport or park at the mall... Anyway, you seem like...

    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    I read all this crap and noticed that someone stated that they would like for me to tell them what my opinion of my stock GTS was compared to my C4 Corvette. I can sum it up by stating what I told the dealer I purchased the car from, John Gastman at Roanoke. After my first track day at TWS...

    Question on by pass valve for a supercharger......more inside, Experts plea

    The by-pass valve has a completely different function than a blow-off valve. A blow-off valve is used to vent pressure when the throttle is abrubtly closed. This is to protect the compressor from surge. All of the pressurized air between the compressor and the now closed throttle blade will try...

    What are typical 1/4 mile times / mph for stock SRT-10's ?

    Re: What are typical 1/4 mile times / mph for stock SRT-10\'s ? Motor Trend reported 11.77 @ 123.63 for a stock SRT-10 in the June 2003 issue. Here's the link to the Motor Trend article... http://www.motortrend.com/features/scenes/112_0306_spdtest/ On my first trip to the dragstrip...

    Venom Twin Turbo SRT: 713 rwhp & 757 rw tq

    Mmmmm... Doesn't seem out of line to me. I suspect that the pressure ratio analysis took less than a few seconds of thought. Here's my thoughts after a few more seconds... A Roe blower will make about 600 rwhp on less than 6 psi of non-intercooled boost. I would guess that the addition of an...

    Its good to be back

    I have a GTS and an SRT-10. Contrary to others results, I was able to get a noticeably quicker quarter mile time and higher mile per hour than I could with my GTS. I drove my totally stock SRT-10 to an 11.86 / 123 MPH quarter mile on my first trip to the drag strip with it. Not a huge...

    SRT 10 VENOM 600

    What you are missing is that the Venom 600 package in the Car & Driver article is a heads/cam/exhaust package that was tested three months ago. That's due to the lead time needed to get a story in a major magazine. And you also have your numbers screwed up... My copy of Car & Driver has...

    Got beat by a Vette...

    Well there you go bursting my bubble. I thought the latest test of my modded SRT-10 may have been the first normally aspirated, 10 second street tire run. I know there are faster cars, but it seemed like all the faster cars never even bother to try and run on street tires. I guess I can always...

    VENOM 650 SRT10 QUARTER MILE RUNS 10.76 ON FACTORY TIRE

    Jay, I fully understand your point, but I think you should not distort the truth on the package prices. I suspect that this was just a minor slip due to lack of knowledge pertaining to the work performed on my SRT-10. I followed your link to a beautiful, but annoyingly slow, web site and did...

    SRT 10 VENOM 600

    Sorry Rohn, I don't have any timeslips to post... The quoted numbers are from the magazines radar based data acquisition system. The magazine article should be in the December issue of Motor Trend which should be available around the first of November. I drove the car from Houston to/from...

    VENOM 650 SRT10 QUARTER MILE RUNS 10.76 ON FACTORY TIRE

    Ron, You mentioned rollout making the times not directly comparable... FYI All of the numbers presented above related to my car are from the magazines radar based data acquisition system and not from the drag strip timing system. Therefore, I would think that they are comparable with other...

    VENOM 650 SRT10 QUARTER MILE RUNS 10.76 ON FACTORY TIRE

    You can check the web site for pricing. My car is the first SRT-10 package and there was a little learning experience for his guys. My cost would not be a good reflection of what it would cost to duplicate this package and I suspect that he would prefer that his customers pricing details be kept...
