    2008 engine parts fit all Gen 3's

    418viper, Replacing heads, intake manifold and TB will make a difference. However, will you get 600 HP? In a word, no. The 2008 engine has a very sophisticated engine control module with many multiples of lines of codes over the previous models (think of it as an "engine map" with a much...

    Prayers for Gary....

    Hi Libby, Many thanks for sharing the great news! Prayers work, Hallelujah!! So happy to hear that Gary is out of the hospital. Looks like the worst is over, just don't overdo anything until Gary is fully recovered (I know, easier said than done). I am sure that in a few days, Gary will...

    How many drive 'bone stock' Vipers?

    Thanks for your comments, Boxer12! I am a bit concerned about the "bulging out" as you called it with a 315's on an only 11" wide rim. Does anybody out there have experience with 18x12 rims on the front of SRT-10's? Do you have any experience with or comments about SSR Comp wheels? Quite...

    Rear Gears

    Great comment PhoenixGTS! :2tu: I am very interested in doing this myself. What was the cost for the 5 & 6 gear mod? Did you track the car with the 3.55 diff and modified transmission? I bet that the car is a whole lot livelier through the gears, but aren't you "rowing" through the...

    brake problem for the experts

    Viper X is right! One of our SoCal VCA member (Lance K) did it himself after purchasing the kit from "Dave's Big Brakes", website:http://davesbigbrakes.com/ and was kind enough to submit a most comprehensive pictorial history of his installation...

    2008 Snakeskin Green Viper Spotted! (pic)

    Agree! Quite often when I first see pictures of a new vehicle or pictures of a mid-cycle update, my initial reaction is totally negative. However, once I see the new car in the flesh (or metal to be more exact) I am very inclined to favorably revise my opinion. What happens next is if I...

    2008's Arriving Soon And No Test Reviews

    Correct! :2tu: I heard that they are perfecting the cupholder design....:rolaugh: Not a problem; SoCal VCA members will cheerfully and thoroughly brake them in for you and return them in the Spring of 2008......... ;) Our weather is perfect for this and we will even grant visitation...

    Prayers for Gary....

    On behalf of SoCal VCA and specially from our team of “track rats”, our prayers and most sincere wishes for a full and speedy recovery for Gary. Our prayers also go to Libby, as this is a very difficult time in her life. Once Gary feels (much) better, he can update us on “How’s the car”.:(...

    Flipped Red w/White Viper on Fox News

    I hope and pray that the driver is OK! Does anybody know if he is one of us, a VCA member? I guess this is not the best way to get a "free car wash".

    2008 Snakeskin Green Viper Spotted! (pic)

    Truly wild color, looks terrific! Agree on the stripes. My color choice for stripes: Yellow (probably not offered by the factory). The rims however would not be my first choice. Vypr Phil :)

    Nice Pics from last weekend

    Nice pictures SRT10 SWISS! Try to post on the Switzerland board once in a while, as the "Ausland Schweizer" Viper owners (I know, we are not many) like to see what is going on in the "Heimatland" with a bit of nostalgia. To post on the Swiss board, just scroll to the bottom of any page, open...

    New SRT Flywheel!!!

    Apology to my dear friend Dan Cragin, who started this thread to inform us about his great and very affordable flywheels. I realize that we are way off topic and high jacked this thread with our dark “service department humor” posts. MikeR, you can make more money by selling an additional...

    New SRT Flywheel!!!

    I always thought that Vipers are much safer than racebikes! Love your special, however I did a bit of research and I believe it is really called “Variable Viscosity”. The “variable” component makes it self-adjusting and self-compensating, therefore guarantying perfect wheel balance for the...

    New SRT Flywheel!!!

    Hey Mike, Glad to see that your sense of humor remains intact despite working too many hours! :rolaugh: Do you sell high glycol content blinker flushing fluid, so the bulbs flash faster and brighter? And don't forget the blinker relay timing belt and tensioner..... :D And please, don't...

    How many drive 'bone stock' Vipers?

    Mine was "Bone Stock" when I bought it.:( Checked for the "Bone", could not find it, so I started modifying it.:rolleyes: All kidding aside, I believe that the Viper is probably the sturdiest "starter platform" if you want to turn it into something that will rival the most exotic and...

    New SRT Flywheel!!!

    Mike, I looked at your profile. :2tu: Scary thing is, you are a service advisor? :confused: How many flywheel belts have you sold to your customers? :dunno: And what horsepower gain did you promise them? :omg:
