    Satin White TT SRT ?

    :2tu: Congrats, looks amazing! :2tu: What does it look like near the edges? Is it ok for the side sills/exhaust covers (the heat etc..)?

    Clunking from the rear when going over bumps?

    I don't get it the sound as often as you do, but definitely feel it under my seat too. When I get it, it's usually when I'm easing off clutch in 1st gear to slowly move the car forward, and sometimes when I'm slowly reversing. It is quite infrequent though. About once every two times I take the...

    Clunking from the rear when going over bumps?

    Does this clunk everyone is hearing, sound like the clunk your seat would make if it wasn't locked properly into place on the seat rail? A sort of "clunk" into position. I feel it behind me, or the driver's side, and practically feel it! :( Strangely enough the right side shock seems to be...

    Why did youbuy a Viper ??

    Why?.. Because it was the rawest and most powerful car I had ever seen, been driven in, and finally got to drive (and power-slide, thanks to Skip Barber classes)! As a bonus, it's rare, has amazing road presence, looks gorgeous and is a really good car! Took me 8 years, but I did it! ..and...

    Installing Penske Coilovers and 19"/20" Rims, Advice on Ride Height?

    What tires do you have on there? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have the same offset as stock, same overall tire widths and diamteters.. then the 19/20 should be exactly the same as the 18/19 setup as far as to how much you can safely lower the car.. right?

    RE: ESC, My viper crash pics

    These prices are crazy! You can literally buy a used SRT10 for parts and have a spare Chassis, Interior, Engine, Gearbox and drivetrain left over! If I'm not mistaken, the going price for all the body parts (used, great condition) of an SRT10 is about $6,000 (doors not included). Is the...

    Highly recommend venzano interiors

    I Teflon coated my previous car's alcantara seats.. It was awesome. It still felt and looked exactly the same, however when you poured water on it, it beaded up and rolled off without being absorbed :) Cleaning the seats was with quick wipe with a damp cloth.. I also Teflon treated my wheels...

    All Motor - Stage 1 & 2 Plans

    For what it's worth, Ilmor (at VOI X) told me that 600rwhp is "mostly bolt-ons".. I don't need to buy a whole engine from them. If I recall correctly, it included a cam, and some other parts here and there.. No porting, aftermarket heads, cranks, pistons etc.. Instead the guy there mentioned...

    SRT10 Rear exit exhaust

    PM your e-mail addresses and I'll send you the rear exit exhaust pics. I saved the pics them when I found them. I thought I'd have to make that conversion when I brought mine over... I believe Prodrive are the chaps to contact. I am under the impression that they performed the conversions; I...

    Stickers in door sill

    Chuck, do the Visors come with stickers stuck on them, or are they "clean" ? :)

    All Motor - Stage 1 & 2 Plans

    I want people's opinions before calling up shops etc.. We currently don't have good tracks where I live, so I'd focus on an "in-betweener", more of a street car that will do OK in Drag racing.

    All Motor - Stage 1 & 2 Plans

    So, here's the idea: I want to mod the beast. Street driveability is number 1 in importance, Power is the next most important item, Cost is the third item.. No Supercharger or Turbo suggestions in this thread please. The engine bay should appear as stock as possible. Here is my plan :2tu...

    Stickers in door sill

    I've had all sticker removed... I like clean looks. Even the badges are gone on the car. Do new visors come without the stickers? I really hate my half peeled visor sticker and it looks like it left a mark below where it used to be... (Sorry to hijack the thread)

    This damn alarm is driving me nuts!!!!

    Not to sow fear, but assuming that nothing is faulty, I have heard of a really old trick that thieves use.. Basically they keep triggering the alarm on a car that they want at weird times, and annoy the hell out of everyone. When the owner finally deactivates the alarm.. guess what's available...

    Anyone removed all emblems?

    What!!! :) I figured his Coupe looks the pretty much the same from the back (minus a roof!)! ;)

    Why no electronic stability control, etc?

    Now that would be interesting... On the other hand, the Viper is a polar opposite of the Ferrari, and Ferrari has been known to hog technologies, and never properly share ;) (Maserati for example) Would the Viper survive if the average service started to cost $2000 and the car became less...

    Why no electronic stability control, etc?

    I think everyone forgot that teensy point of keeping the brand alive. A large percentage of sports car buyers KNOW that they are crap drivers (whether they admit it or not is another thing...). The lack of traction control scares the crap out of them. Having it at least as an option can increase...

    Anyone removed all emblems?

    I have no badges on the car at all. I think I like the "clean" look.. Keeps the car mysterious (even in the US, some people had no idea what it was) and makes the car look more upscale/classy/less fussy (in my opinion). Although am considering putting the front badge on the front bumper back...

    Ferrari F430, Lambo LP640, SRT-10? Who wins?

    I agree, and not beacuse I already own a viper :) Apart from performance and muscle car behavior, I bought the SRT-10 because of its beauty and uniqueness. In Street Serpent trim, multiply that several times; the car holds it's own with *any* other car in existence. Over here, by the way...

    Ferrari F430, Lambo LP640, SRT-10? Who wins?

    Cheers, yeah I am in good ol' sunny Cyprus! :)

    FFFFF TTT!!!! Sound

    Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like I'll get an OBDII scanner and see the readings when cold. It does... But, wow, am now definitely a little more worried! On the other hand, I always wanted an engine capable of 2000hp ;) Thanks guys. I'll try to update any info on here if I find...

    Ferrari F430, Lambo LP640, SRT-10? Who wins?

    Believe me, the thought crossed my mind! :) Oh to add to the long saga, I also had custom TPMS sensors programmed.. hehe, what a story for just a set of rims!

    FFFFF TTT!!!! Sound

    I haven't, and will definitely check it out, thanks for the idea! It does seem to come out from the exhaust "area". Almost like something shoots through the pipes, but I'm not exactly sure it shoots out of the tip (if that makes sense). That's why I suspected a leak.

    Selling SSG to buy my old ACR

    As much as I love my SRT, especially with the Street Serpent kit, I always wanted a Gen II ACR, I just wish they would have let me register one in Cyprus (we have a 5 year age limitation on registering cars)...
