How does the fan help heat soak in the aluminum heads and block once the water pump stops turning?? Isnt the water trapped in the hottest parts! The heads and block??
The fan would only cool the water in the radiator and blow air on the front of the motor.. This may cool the theromstat housing...

ONERAREVIPER,
I AGREE THAT THE VIPER HOLY SH*T! FACTOR IS GREAT! BUT IT SEEMS THAT VIRTUALLY EVERY VIPER OWNER ON THIS BOARD HAS TRIED TO INCREASE THE HP IN SOME WAY!
MORE HP IS ALWAYS BETTER! WHY DOESNT DC OFFER A HI-PO PACKAGE?

REGARDING RELIABILITY,

HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE USUALLY ONLY COVERS DAMAGE BY EXTENAL FORCES (FIRE,FLOOD,WIND,EARTHQUAKE) IF YOUR ROOF LEAKS OR THE AIR COND UNIT FAILS INSURANCE DOES NOT BUY YOU A NEW AIR UNIT OR A NEW ROOF. IT ONLY COVERS THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE LEAKING ROOF.WOULD YOU BUY EXPENSIVE EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE...
THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED NEW V-10 WILL PRODUCE 560 BHP AND 445 LBS OF TORQUE AT 8,200 RPM!!! THE CAR IS A FULL CONV AND WILL WEIGH LESS THAN 2,750 LBS!

THE VIPER IS NOTHING LIKE THE 427 COBRA... THE COBRA WAS AN ABSOLUTE MONSTER!!
THE COBRA IS VERY SMALL AND VERY LIGHT (2,250LBS+/-) WITH TONS OF POWER!..THE DOORS WERE CUT VERY LOW SO YOU FELT TOTALLY EXPOSED.. YOU COULD EASILY THROW IT AROUND WITH JUST A TAP ON THE TROTTLE.. IF YOU WANTED...
IN A RECENT COMMERCIAL FOR Z-MAX, CARROL SHELBY STATES THAT HE HAS PRODUCED MANY CARS INCLUDING THE COBRA,SHELBY MUSTANG AND THE DODGE VIPER!

DOES Z-MAX WORK?? HAS ANYONE YRIED IT IN A VIPER OR ANY CAR??
DID APEX GO OUT OF BUSSINESS??

If you think that I am going to crawl into the trunk of my Viper to test the little pull handle!
But it was a good idea!
I'll have my EX-WIFE Crawl in the trunk!!!
Maybe the little cable will break....
