    Help me make my car super LOUD!!!

    Good to see another young owner of a car like this. I'm not in a Viper yet, but intend to be soon. Too bad you don't have a C5 or I would have the absolute answer for you... SLP Loudmouth exhaust. For the Corvettes this system is really a muffler eliminator. Hooks up at the end of the stock...

    Newbie needs advice....

    I just read the thread and it sounds like you ran down some good possibilities. Sounds like the dealer nipped the problem for you. I was going to suggest checking the IAT or the MAF (does the Viper have MAF or is it MAP? don't know yet, still on the learning curve with them!). Anyway, was...

    Still on the hunt! Differences between 97 to 99?

    For further reference, without doing a burnout or launching hard (remember, daily driver here) I managed a 13.0 @110.52 That is from a 1400rpm launch with no powershifting, just hard shifts. That is also before the ram-air or SLP mufflers. When I say ram-air, what I have is the Brethless...

    Still on the hunt! Differences between 97 to 99?

    ROTFLMFAO - no, no speedo problems... not unless the tach is off, too! I can confirm at least 188mph because 6000 rpm in 5th gear (0.74) with 3.42s at the rear with 275/40/zr18 meats in on the drive wheels would be exactly 188mph. The PCM doesn't shut off fuel until over 6100 and I was skating...

    Still on the hunt! Differences between 97 to 99?

    Thanks for the links, Marv. George, do I know you from the Corvetteforum? After going through the links there, I have a few more pointed questions. The adjustable foot pedals - do they each adjust individually or all as one? Why did Dodge switch back to cast pistons from 2000-up instead of...

    Still on the hunt! Differences between 97 to 99?

    I finally made the call to sell my troubled '00 C5 coupe. The car spent 9 months of the past two years in the shop for warranty work, so its time to move on. I bought the car new with the intent of keeping it forever, but I don't feel like footing the bill with so many non-drivetrain-related...

    She's not getting slower, they're getting faster...

    Re: She\'s not getting slower, they\'re getting faster... Yeah, I'm working on the whole budget 10sec street legal ride right now. If I ever want to go faster I'll just have to pulley up and adjust the suspension to compensate. In the mean time....Viper on!

    She's not getting slower, they're getting faster...

    Re: She\'s not getting slower, they\'re getting faster... Here is my $ .02 on the subject. I consider myself pretty well grounded and not TOO heavily biased when talking about any of these cars, so here goes. I am REALLY curious to see what comes of the '03 Cobra. A car that light with the...

    Avg Gen 1 Maint. costs per 5k miles

    Excellent question. I'm in the market myself. Though after scanning the boards for a while it seems that aside from oil leak issues the cars are fairly solid. TTT

    Divorce forces sale

    Hmm, why don't people ever set up their properties under a corporate license? House in one LLC, property in anothe. Or maybe house and cars provided for separately by different corp. You kill someone with the car? You lose only what's in your name. Someone's kid gets hurt on your property...

    I am the Brother-In-Law who was arrested at HMS

    I have read thread after thread on various boards. And as much as the internet is quick to spread flame and panic, if that was all it was then the issue would be dead by now and/or HMS would have spoken out to defend their reputation. Silence would make anyone appear guilty. Beyond that...

    Trailer Hitch for RT/10

    Uh, have you considered those vinyl stickies at all? The ones that adhere to the car surface with static electricity? If you use that bright pinkish color that Dodge put on the Indy pace car GTS's then it'll get everyone's attention. And since they peel right off the car when you get home...

    My Viper Video

    Sweet! Yeah, I have a *slightly* modded Super Nitro. .21 T-maxx engine (2.5 hp!!!), 2-speed tranny, carbon-fiber everything. I think its faster than my REAL car! lol Its a little over the top, but I enjoy it. Come to think of it, the Nitro goes through fuel almost as fast as the real...

    Viper alarm for a Viper

    As long as you back it up with another system. I think that Clarion was supposed to debut a system like this this year, but I know Alpine has one available currently. I put the Alpine Mobile May-Day system in the vette. Think On-Star mated to Lo-jack. The system is a satellite tracking unit...

    Stock GTS and Nitrous ... anyone?

    Mmm, yes, been skowering the posts about the DIY blowers. I am a DIY guy at heart, I love tearing cars apart or just working on them. The RS has been a work of love, though all that wiring did get annoying at one point. I came close to finishing it in the Fall but parked it for the winter...

    Stock GTS and Nitrous ... anyone?

    Answered some of my own questions. Ah, the power of archives and a good search engine.

    Stock GTS and Nitrous ... anyone?

    Ok, so this is all purely hypothetical at the moment. But who sells a good nitrous system for the Viper? I am looking at 97 GTS. I know NOS offers a 135hp dry kit. But I'm not a big fan of dry. Do tuners offer custom wet kits? Anything from Nitrous Express? I've come to trust them in the...

    I am looking for everyone's favorite Road Songs ?

    Re: I am looking for everyone\'s favorite Road Songs ? Hmm, other than anything Led Zeppelin, Floyd, Skynyrd, "the Nuge", Alice Cooper, Allman Bros, or SRV? Jesus Built my Hotrod - can' think of the artist Deep Purple - Highway Star Government Mule - 30 days in the hole Ian Moore - barline 99...

    Connecticut Viper Owners Wanted

    Ouch, that's going to be one EXPENSIVE night. And, uh, once you're past high school none of it matters. I think the time to rent a Viper is when the Hawaiian Tropic swimsuit girls come to town. Make sure you park it in a visible spot! As Acatala said, no one rents cars to people under 25...

    Proud to be a Viper Newbie!!

    Ok, off topic, but I have to ask. Obviously you're a SW fan and play the various PC games. So you have to agree with me that X-Wing Alliance was the BEST game they've released so far. Let's hope they bring out some new ones - maybe some E6 campaigns. And.... Chewbacca is NOT dead!

    Dealer Called me this AM, The Viper is Ready!

    Let me know if you actually get a reply. I am going through hell with GM over similar and worse problems with my 2000 Coupe. It has been made very clear that the company does not care unless it directly and immediately threatens your safety and their wallet. If you can't get the overheating...

    Calling all NYC snakes

    Adam, I'm just playing around! You guys couldn't have picked a better day for the trip this morning too. Hope you're having fun. I just got home from a long night and am off to grandmother's. I bought her a black lab puppy from one of my friends and am going to set up a kennel for it before...
