    The 500hp Gen2 Question

    Bonkers, I've been wrestling with this issue myself. I'd like to get my car up to 600 hp (540 rwhp) without FI or juice. Perhaps I'm being unrealistic in that a reasonable heads/cam package can provide that. Like you, I'm concerned with traveling too far down the mod route because of...

    Wannabe Viper Owner with GTS Questions

    01 and 02 are the same. A few 01's had water pump problems, mine did not. Unlike vettes, Vipers come with few, if any, options. Depending on your wants, you may want to research the ACR option for the GTS. As stated, the earlier year GTS's had differences over the final two years. Some...

    Exhaust clips???

    After our last club meet "ViperChad" and I drove to an area in Columbus called Easton. It's basically an outdoor shopping/restaurant area with streets in between everything. Rather tight and a lot of people. Chad has an 06 Coupe w/ Corsa, I was behind in my car w/ B&B. As we slowly...

    Exhaust clips???

    If I remember correctly, Belanger generally gives the deepest most muscle car like sound because its coated steel. Corsa and B&B are all aluminum. Corsa is definitely more of a raspy sound. I have B&B with the X pipe instead of the rear truck muffler and 3" RT cats. Couldn't be happier.

    Why six bolt rims?

    Santo, My 01 didn't come with them. As a comparison, my wife's MB with factory AMG wheels didn't either. However, my much less expensive Mitsubishi Montero SUV did. I guess Dodge figures we're not going to leave the car unattended long enough for someone to steel them. :confused:

    VOI9 prices - holy #@!$ !!! am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?

    Re: VOI9 prices - holy #@!$ !!! am I the only one who thinks this is crazy Just to be clear... If we're going to be limited to 80-90 mph on the big track, what are we limited to on the NHRA drag strip? Will we only be allowed to run 1/16 of a mile at a top speed of 35 mph? Or, will we be...

    VOI9 prices - holy #@!$ !!! am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?

    Re: VOI9 prices - holy #@!$ !!! am I the only one who thinks this is crazy "Give me a break. Both VOI's I went to they were so paranoid of people getting out of control, they kept us to about 80 - 90 MPH. I had to cheat and lay back to get it up to 100 + . That right there is enough for me not...

    Ferrari Enzo Crash on PCH

    Sounds like this guy is a real peach. Here's what the 3-13-06 AutoWeek says about this incident: "Stefan Eriksson, 44, a former executive for European video game company Gizmondo. Gizmondo collapsed after Eriksson resigned amid allegations he had previously been convicted for counterfeiting...

    1994 sales brochure

    Craig, That's way too high. I've picked up Viper literature on Ebay over the years including sales brochure's. I'd pay no more than $10. Obviously shipping cost should be minimal. I just did a quick search with "Viper brochure" and came up with 94 items. Not all 1994 of course. Keep...

    First Viper Models

    I have the re-occurring image of being retired some day, sitting at the work bench in my basement, building models like that. Then, my ADD snaps me back to reality and I just buy the 1:18 Burago model. Nice work though. :2tu:

    asking price on my RT/10

    Andy, If your car is truly in excellent condition, you're leaving money on the table at that price. I'd ask 41 or 42. If someone tries to beat you up too much on price, I'd then negotiate it without the hardtop. Since your car is red, you should have no trouble finding a buyer for the...

    3.33 gears are available again

    Dana has filed for bankruptcy "reorganization", not liquidation. They will screw some creditors, stock holders have already been screwed, lay a bunch of people off, cut benefits and otherwise continue with business as usual. It's the American way, isn't it? Well, it's legal anyway. Unitrax...

    3.33 gears are available again

    Ordered a set of 3.33's Monday. Here's the story: I've read probably everything written on gear ratios for the Viper. IMHO, 3.33 is indeed the sweet spot for all around driving. The vette has a 3.42 with not as much torque. The Ford GT has 3.36 with 500 lbs of torque. Both motors redline...

    Looking for 2001 RT/10 Saphire/Cognac interior

    Ditt the ???? on 1:18. Lee and Jason, please verify 1:18 scale and if so, who makes it? Underside of car should list manufacturer. There are lots of Gen I RT's, GTS's and even Gen I 1/2 (1996) RT's, but I've never seen or heard of (until now) of a pure Gen II RT. Please let us know,

    Any unsold GTSs ???

    I live about 20 miles from Nelson AG. Great place to poke around from time to time. Never know what they'll have sitting around. Usually, 8-10 new Lambo's and all kinds of used stuff, plus new/used Vipers. Kernie is the Viper tech there and services my car.
