    Vandalism & a better car alarm?

    Best insurance ;) Beep the alarm and a thief might not care, pull out a 9mm w/ hollow tips and he'll freeze with fear enabling you kick the living sh!t out of him. I've had good experience with Viper alarms. You could look into one of the alarms where it'll page you if anything is happening...

    Why Vipers don't handle well?

    Re: Why Vipers don\'t handle well? Having a friend who had an e36 M3 and now an e46 M3, neither were close to our others friends 00' ACR in handling. If anything, the e36 handled better then the new e46 cars which feel like they lost a lot of sharpness and feel in the handling department...

    Will an X-pipe further enhance the idle and sound of a Mopar-Borla exhaust?

    Anyway you can post a soundclip, the Mopar/Borla setup is the only other setup I like on Vipers besides running straight pipes and no mufflers or cats. Would love to know how that Mopar system sounds with the x pipe in there. Also, what did you do, have them cut the pipes of the Mopar in the...

    Drag Racing Requirements

    It's especially annoying when you have a car, like the Viper, that is already capable of running a high 11 basically stock. They are really strict now, a guy down here I know was tunning his Explorer and ran mid 11's, but didn't have a roll cage, they told him to run only the 1/8 and hit the...

    ABS on a 2000?

    Your right, I just remembered that the 00' Vipers we were looking at my mom didn't want b/c of having no abs and didn't like the feel of them when trying to stop.

    Viper folks making a dream come true!

    I agree, my family is heavily involved in charities and everything. Haven't done anything with Make a Wish, but when we get the Viper or Porsche I wouldn't mind at all giving those kids a ride. Just hard to do, upsetting seeing kids or younger people around my age (21) who are terminally ill...

    Oh Yeah Got to drive a DLM CAR!!!!!!

    I agree, the Viper even with some of your guys power numbers still doesn't pull of times that cars like a Mustang can do with way less power. The suspension especially doesn't allow good weight transfer. But with the mph some of you are trapping at, I'd say run basically anything in half a mile...

    What cars came with the full Conoly interior?

    Exactly what I think, and the main reason I want that interior b/c the GTS's were looking at are Saphire Blue. I think that interior with the Saphire Blue is perfect. Probably be too hard to find though, guess I'll have to go to one of the Viper Interior guys to do up the interior like...

    What cars came with the full Conoly interior?

    Cool, thanks for the link, I found --> 9. GTS + RT/10 - Cognac Connolly® leather interior group was introduced in 1999 The problem is trying to find a GTS with that option, talk about hard, I've only ever seen it on the R/T models, I just really like that color and look of that interior. Is...

    What cars came with the full Conoly interior?

    The only Vipers we can find that have the full Conoly interior in that beige kinda color are newer R/T's. I love the look, but we're not looking at getting an R/T, only a GTS or ACR, but was the Conoly option availble on the GTS models? I haven't seen an GTS with that interior that the R/T's...

    ZO6 versus Supercharged Viper? HELP!

    I say give him a ride, and then after he's able to regain his breathe again, ask him if he still wants to run. That way his excuse won't be "I got a bad launch. missed a gear" etc if he lost, instead it'll be more along the lines of " :eek: " basically being speechless and won't talk smack...

    ZO6 versus Supercharged Viper? HELP!

    If that LS6 engine is basically stock he better have some unleaded racing fuel in the tank or else say good bye to that engine. If you go over to a forum with LS6 members and ask them, they'll tell you not to run a 175 shot or more without racing fuel. As far as I know, I don't know of any LS6...

    Most comfortable sports car seat

    I honestly thought my friends seats in his 00' ACR were very comfortable. Most comfortable sport car seats I've been in, my mom's friends modified Ruf 996 Turbo, those seats are the best I've sat in, very comfortable and will grip you like superglue. I think Gen II GTS and ACR Vipers have...

    Just put on headers car is quieter!

    Cool, let us know what happens, I really want to find out how much the cream puff engines can handle safely with a supercharger and after-cooler with a good tune.

    Just put on headers car is quieter!

    How much do you think or know you'll gain from an aftercooler on your setup? I'm not sure of the limits that the cast pistons can handle safely even with an after cooler, any idea on what the Cream Puff's can handle safely with a supercharger and cooler? I'd still rather have forged pistons...

    Video from Poconos outing :)

    Good job, and nice video also. I think you did fine for your 1st time on a track especially driving a Viper, the Viper doesn't have any but saving gadgets or technology, just pure human control. What was that yellow car that you passed, an older RX7? Sounded like somebody had their weed-wacker out.

    Jesse got new tires! Burn out video HERE!

    I gave up trying to download, to many people must be going for it or the server is extremely slow. I have DSL and it's downloading at 1.91kb, only a 4hr and 11 min wait lol, normally that size would take about a minute or so. :p
