    What does a 13 year old think of 2003 viper

    I just watched an hour long show on the LA Auto Show and patiently waited to the end for the performance car bit. They talked at length about the Porsche Carrera GT (as they should, it is stunning) and then the Panoz, and even a bit about the Honda, then to add insult to injury, they went on...

    Anyone have a set of Gen 1 head gaskets for sale ?

    I'm going to need a set too! I've got a '94 RT/10 with a slight coolant drip past the head gasket. Somebody needs to make an after market gasket that lasts for a little longer than the stock one!

    startech

    That's wild, are there enough Vipers in Germany to make it worth while for them.

    Anyone have any exhaust system sound files?

    I am ordering the hi-flow cats from Jon B and some glasspacks too. Anyone out there happen to have a wave file or MP3 recording of what their car sounds like with various mufflers? We should compile a section that has the cars year with the mods listed and which exhaust it has, and have a wave...

    Drag tires for an '01 Viper

    Re: Drag tires for an \'01 Viper Ben, I can't compare them to your other options because I haven't tried those tires, but Tom Welch recommended the BFGoodrich Drag Radials to me. They're a good mix for a tire with tread for street driving and still good for the strip. I just put them on last...

    Chinese New Year

    Maybe instead of the Paris to Dakar rally we could have a Viper rally from Montreal, Canada (our Paris) to San Francisco's China Town, in honour of the Snake!

    Dyno on my 94 w/minor mods- You ask for it!!

    So what made you keep the cats and lose the mufflers? Did you prefer the sound? You mentioned that you knew someone who lost the cats too and that was really loud. Do the cats make it that much quieter?

    Cutting out the cats

    Yep, I'm hoping to get the same advice for the left side as for the right side...but as far as the sound goes, I guess I only care what it sounds like on my side...the driver's side!

    Head Gasket replacement question.

    I finally got my car up on the hoist this afternoon and had good news and bad news. The good news is that the excessive smell of coolant I was having was a result of a serious leaking from both hoses that connect to the thermostat housing. The hoses were fine, for some reason both of the...

    Cutting out the cats

    I'm not sure what all the exhaust options are for a Gen I RT, but has anyone just cut out the catalytic converters and replaced with a straight pipe and left the rest of the exhaust the same? Does this improve HP and sound?

    2003 With Clam Shapped Sides

    Jerry, if you have a same angle picture of the Gen I or II RT/10, could you post that beside the other two pictures. Then it starts to make it clear what exactly is different and why so many of us prefer the original.

    What color stripes to put on Black RT?

    That brings up another idea...Is there a material that would be removable and look good? My sister works at a graphic design place and they could make a standard mat and then mass produce various colors. Then we could change our stripes, so to speak, with whatever you felt like for that days...

    What color stripes to put on Black RT?

    I was thinking of getting them done like the concept 2003 GTS where the stripes really flare out, narrow in front and wider by the windshield. Ok, so I guess that means there is one thing other than the engine that I like about the 2003! No it's not the right size for my car, but I'm not...

    Drag Radial handling, is this normal?

    They won't last very long. The guy I bought them from said if you expect your regular street tires to last 25,000 miles with your driving style, then expect the drag radials to last between 5,000 and 10,000 miles.

    What color stripes to put on Black RT?

    But I don't have a hard top. I guess I could get one, but that wasn't really in the plan.

    What color stripes to put on Black RT?

    One more thing I forgot to think about that should have been obvious to me. With a Roadster and no hard top my stripes would only be on the hood and trunk. That would look fine with the top off but how does it look with a top on? This is probably a stupid question but were there any RT/10's...

    What color stripes to put on Black RT?

    I have been thinking about putting stripes on my '94 RT. If I do it I am probably leaning towards Silver stripes but I wouldn't mind seeing others pictures that may have done something else or something unique. Please post your black (or dark colored) Viper with various colored stripes in this...

    Drag Radial handling, is this normal?

    Thanks for the correction Doug. I'm not a very serious dragster, I just have fun at it in the summer. Can I get away with just dropping the pressure enough and leaving them on the stock rear wheels to get a "good enough" affect? I'm thinking with 15 to 20 psi the sidewalls will start to bulge...

    Drag Radial handling, is this normal?

    Actually I did mount them on the factory wheels. I asked around here in a post a number of months back and it seemed like a lot of people were using these tires on the factory wheels for the occasional dragger like me. Admittedly, they are noticeably smaller track, and actually dive in a bit...

    Dropping the exhaust.

    I have a friend with a Camaro that simply unbolts his exhaust behind the manifold for drag racing. He has built himself little clips that hold the pipes in place but the exhaust is free flowing into the air under the car just for the strip. He says he gains 50hp and didn't have to invest in...

    Gen I dyno question.

    I haven't had a chance to dyno my 94RT yet. Hoping to get a moment this spring sometime. Curious though of others dyno results so I can get a gut feel for what is to be expected. I am also installing BTR Viper's Nitrous system. So two questions. 1. What are your dyno numbers on a stock Gen...

    Drag Radial handling, is this normal?

    Last week I put on a set of BFG Drag Radials. They don't make the 335's so I got 315's, a lot of people on this board apparently use them and say they are fine. So over the past few days I have been practising launching which is much better than the stock tires. The problem is that at 100...
