    Finally saw a new SRT in person

    heheh. i'll agree that the SRT looks great on paper, but nobody is "stock" on the streets these days. so "stock" is irrelevant. none of my cars have ever been stock for longer than 15 minutes. in fact, for example, you'd have a really tough time finding a "stock" 03 Cobra with more than 500...

    Anyone ever thought they would be carjacked in their Viper?

    yeah, "Heinousy" got NoMercy for about $20k, and he nailed a bunch more vette guys too - it was that $5000 heads/cam special he ran right before he got booted off of CF. i have always heard great things about Mike Norris. sounds like a standup guy who really stands behind his work. thats rare...

    Finally saw a new SRT in person

    500 bhp really isn't that much these days. i have friends who won't invite me to go out with them because i'm not putting down at least 500 rwhp.

    Anyone ever thought they would be carjacked in their Viper?

    i have to respectfully disagree with the above. i have seen otherwise in my time. for example, i have heard about a tuner in TX named "Heinousy" (heheh) who will take your Viper and part it out ... and apparently get away with it too!

    Finally saw a new SRT in person

    hrm ... the subject is related to 3rd generation vipers, so it seems appropriate to me that this thread be in the Gen III forum. if you see an opinion you don't like here, then learn to deal with it, or go someplace else. its important that any and all opinions can be voiced here. this forum...

    GUILTY!

    wow! i didnt know OP was so screwed up these days. sounds like you did try to do the right thing - i probably would have done exactly what you did. after losing, as you did, i might contact the State Atty General's office and file some complaints or something too. you really did get...

    GUILTY!

    it _can_ work that way, but it depends on the agent, the insurance company, the state insurance laws, etc. insurance is a funny thing ... i have called 3 agents at the same insurance company, and listed the *exact* same requirements for a prospective policy, and gotten 3 different quotes...

    Cost of insurance?

    it can vary wildly, depending on factors like where you live, your age, driving record, whether the car is a "daily driver" or "leisure only". it can also vary alot between insurance companies. if you are over 35, leisure only, multi-car, and don't live in the ghetto, then you _should_ be...

    GUILTY!

    i can't believe you went to court without a good traffic attorney. in KS and MO, you should NEVER have to take a guilty charge on a ticket. i just hire a good _traffic_ attorney every time. i have 0 points on my license. my boss has gotten almost 100 speeding tickets in the past 5 years...

    Anyone ever thought they would be carjacked in their Viper?

    no, never thought i was going to be carjacked. one time though, i thought i was going to have to unload 3 clips into a couple of guys who were *attempting* a carjacking. cops drove by and scared them off though before i had to act.

    Cop Vs. Snake

    funny, two days ago, at 6am, i had a cop try to instigate a race on Broadway, and again on 12th St. he revved on me, jumped/lurched on me, and nailed it a couple times off the light, smoking the tires and getting sideways through the intersection. i didn't take the bait though, because you...

    Finally saw a new SRT in person

    i guess i'll just have to take one for a test drive. the SRT has not impressed me at all yet. i'd rather have a GTS any day.

    Very bad day with the Viper - Blew out the back end or drive shaft!!!

    Re: Very bad day with the Viper - Blew out the back end or drive shaft!!! not true. i have a modded 99 Vette, and i have had two clutches, two transmissions, and two differentials replaced under warranty. heck, they even repaired an aftermarket exhaust and aftermarket shifter under warranty.

    hrm ... i've owned both and pushed both, and my Viper left me stranded more than the Vette did.

    I need a "speed alert" alarm. Where can I find one to wire in?

    Re: I need a \"speed alert\" alarm. Where can I find one to wire in? but they are not adjustable, and they frequently go off before you even reach the speed limit.

    Re: Is $46K a good price for a \'98 Silver Viper GTS with NEVER buy a rental. NEVER. they are always abused, especially performance oriented cars.

    How Much RWHP is too much???

    hahah. you can never have enough. i suspect that it would be tough to build a *streetable* engine/car putting down more than 1500rwhp though.

    What have you had to sacrifice?

    and don't forget to check insurance costs. when i lived in downtown KC (very high insurance), insurance on a 99 Viper was $10,000/yr. i was 33 and had a clean record with no points. living out in the boonies before that (Grain Valley, MO), insurance was $2500/yr. that works out to about 4X...

    this is my first post here, but i have been lurking for quite a while now. i'm both a former and future viper owner (but viperless atm). anybody interested in possibly getting your car in a hot rod / hot girl calendar? there is no money involved, but your car (or even your g/f or wife!) could...
