    Read this quote from a "former Viper owner"

    Re: Read this quote from a \"former Viper owner\" I just sold my very nicely worked lighting fast (faster than my stock GTS) ZR1. THe zr1 stock is ok, but worked you gotta love it, it has tremendous potential. But it still looks like the other few hundred thousand corvettes out there. I can...

    My first runs at atco raceway

    I think that after the first run the guy with the supra thought it was a piece of cake. ATCO is a nice track, i ran my zr1 there to a best of 12.1 @ 119.8 with off throttle shifts. Your MPH would have been around the 120 range. Great car isn't it? Of course it will get faster with some mileage...

    WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF THIS ZO6 TRADE FOR MY VIPER...

    I am also a vette owner. DON'T DO IT!! Why would a guy that has spent $100,000 on his car want to get rid of it? Besides, when i drive the vette i am always racing people, when i drive the Viper i don't. The car itself makes a statement. The cars are in different classes. Good luck whatever...

    Faster? Stock 2000 GTS or ZRI Vette

    I can answer this one. Stock, the only way the ZR1 will win, is if you miss 2 shifts ,(ok maybe one and a half), in the 1/4 mile. However here are the mods to my car: degreed cams, headers, 3" exhaust, ported plenum and injector housings, chip, single mass flywheel and cold air box. Best 1/4...

    Here's a picture of me at the starting line !!!

    Re: Here\'s a picture of me at the starting line !!! Slicks will definitely help. But you're doing the right thing to beef the rear suspension up. I have seen a half shaft on a corvette with slicks snap. It's not pretty. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana...

    1996 GTS 4 sale -2,000 miles

    King GTS, I have not been able to find the magazine on the shelves anywhere. However the thought of putting the car in a 'time capsule' and giving it to my little one sometime during her college years, or as a graduation present has occurred to me. JF58854777, You're right. Keeping it is not a...

    Here's a picture of me at the starting line !!!

    Re: Here\'s a picture of me at the starting line !!! 117 mph trap speed is excellent. I would not even look at the elapsed time. The speed at the end tells all. What kind of shifting did you do (speed, power, off the throttle)? How did the car feel going down the track, did you lose traction...

    1996 GTS 4 sale -2,000 miles

    Thanks to all that made offers, and there were quite a few. Just for general info the best offer was for $ 53,000. Good offer, some may say excellent offer, but it fell a little short of what i was looking for. Lucky for me i do not have to sell, so it looks like the GTS will be staying around.

    I'm mad...I got smoked

    Re: I\'m mad...I got smoked Dave, If i lost to a Diablo 6.0 by the same margin you did i would be happy. Think of the mods you could make with the $ 220,000 you saved. And this from a guy who has one. Just making abservations.

    Friggin A!!! Auurgh! Gas cap!

    Good source of info. I did the same thing last week. Filled up, drove off, smelled gas about 2 miles later, finally hit me. Made a U turn got back to the station and it was where i left it. The station attendant was keeping an eye on it and had a good laugh. I'm thinking of installing one of...

    what is the right way to do a compression test

    Finally broke 2,000 miles on the GTS and am going to change the spark plugs. So i bought a compression tester so i can get baseline numbers for the future. I decided to give the Zr1 a tune up and compression test also before it goes on its merry way. I look up in the viper manual and it just...

    WRECKED MY VIPER! HIT AND RUN! GRR!

    Hi Madmax, First of all i'm sorry to hear what happened, but am glad you're ok. Now, in NY we believe in turning the other cheek. Here's what you should do, when everything is over and done with, make friends with the guy that ran and invite him over to Howard Beach. I live on the water and we...

    This must have happened to most of you

    I just came back from a ride and it happened again. A guy in a Civic. Anyway, i just beeped and waved. I think jcaspar1 has a point regarding the stock sound of the car. Now that i think of it, very rarely does this happen when i'm driving the zr1. The zr1 has headers, three inch pipes and...

    This must have happened to most of you

    I have been taking the GTS out frequently lately and have noticed that everytime one of these rice burners or anyone else with an aftermarket exhaust goes by they make sure i hear it. Usually it's always as i'm turning or as i pull over to stop. Had a Mustang do this, some hybrid abomination...

    Anybody drive in a pothole infested city?

    i have been driving the Viper in ny for a little over a year now, and so far it has been holding up. A few squeaks here and there. As far as the noise from the back, i had the same problem. Turned out to be the spare. I made it really tight and have not heard anything since.
