    Please Support Viper in Korea!!!

    if you will race him in the 1/4, you should not really worry as long as you get an additional 100 hp from nos. the famous 800+ hp supras are killers on the highway, but in the 1/4 are not what 800+ hp car should be. they have problem launching (modulating turbo spool/ traction) and they might...

    Has anyone seen/used this?

    it does not work. you want to straigten the air flow- not twist it. if it was working everybody would have it as it is very cheap to manufacture and install alex 02 gts few other cars

    man, those things run hot...

    mine runs just past the mark on the right of the center mark.. dodge conviniently made the scale non-linear so the driver is clueless on what temp the coolant is at. said that, i have few questions: 1. how accurate is the readout? if it says 210 (12 o'clock) does that mean 210? 2. does...

    How fast is a Venom 500?

    i hope he is not stupid enough to jump on the "my car costs half as yours and beat you from a 40 roll" argument... because for the 35k (what his car with mods is worth right now) i can and i have build a 9 sec. street car. and if that is not enough, i have my 150+ trap speed stroked "big bore"...

    The Yellow Fever Is HOME!!!!

    excellent but the car is a little too ricey for me. it has 3 things going for the rice nomination- the color, the gts-r wing (if that is what it is) and the front spoiler adjustable lip. while each one of them cannot win the award, all 3 definately do in my book. i would at least get rid of the...

    Also on e bay 20HP performace gain for Viper/

    heh.. going rich and advancing timing cancel each other... i will be very skeptical about this one. normally, you would advance timing and lean the mixture until just before detonation occurs.... alex 02 gts few other cars

    How fast is a Venom 500?

    travis, go to www.google.com, type "venom 500 1/4 times" and you will get your answer somewhere there... you have a fast car. from 5000 to 7000 rpms. great. more power to you. i had a 500+ rwhp supra back when most of you guys didnt even know that anything more than bpu even existed (95) and...

    "feel" of Viper power compared to...

    Re: \"feel\" of Viper power compared to... few random thoughts: 1. slp still makes the firehawk although it is very similar to the ws6 package. as somebody said above- gm just wanted a part of the fad slp still provides most of the parts for the ws-6 package btw. the original firehawk (i...

    "feel" of Viper power compared to...

    Re: \"feel\" of Viper power compared to... the ws6 for the pontiac trans am is what ss is for the chevy camaro z28. all v-8 f-bodies (the gm term for the firebird/camaro platform) have the corvette engine. it is just that free-er flowing exhaust and intake yield few extra horses on the vette...

    My guess? It's a sellers market coming up...

    Re: My guess? It\'s a sellers market coming up... unfortunately, the car market (as opposed to the stock market) always follows the simple statistics and the viper will be no exception. there are more than enough of those around to exclude it from the truly exotic herd: so, as soon as the new...

    gen ii engine over 4k rpms

    i have had few high boost cars, so my ear is highly tuned to pinging- i am sure it was not pinging. also, it was definately rpm related and was not a front end problem- the whole car was shaking- even when reving to 4-5k standing still. however, the idea that the rental is not exactly a top...

    My 650R VS. Neighbors Boss Hoss 502.........

    actually i am thinking that the hoss owner would have smaller cajones.. driving/riding something because it attracts attention is a sure giveaway of diminished manhood.. just imo as usual alex 00 m5 few other cars

    My 650R VS. Neighbors Boss Hoss 502.........

    actually, come to think of it- not really i am buying a viper because it has huge tunning potential- it has nothing to do with how it looks (my wife is the boss in that department ). the viper is trully the performance king from my prospective. on the other hand, the hoss is not really a king...

    gen ii engine over 4k rpms

    i think any viper owner can help me here, but i still have to ask the question right? while i had the rental gts i've noticed quite a vibration coming from the engine once it was spining over 4 grand. now, i am used to the chevy small block 305 and 350 type vibrations, but they are not as...

    Need some quick imput...on a 98 red GTS with 3K miles

    mmm no. unleast the economy takes an upswing (which it will not this year), you will not be able to sell a 98 for 60- not even close. you cant sell it for 55 for all i can see now. i've been tracking the prices for quite some time and a a 98 can sell prolly for 50-52 now. but that is about it...

    Steel gray with silver stripe 2000 GTS or ACR needed!!

    the fact of the matter is that i hope you have in writing that the school will be reambursing you for your crashed car. otherwise you will end up with 13k worth of repairs viper. make no mistake, it will get fixed, but it will never be the same... hope you have all legal aspects covered to your...

    My 650R VS. Neighbors Boss Hoss 502.........

    i saw a few of those at laconia last year (i was there with my 2000 zx-12r- the first one in mass back in april of 2000). i had the opportunity to look it up closely and i have two questions: 1. why in the world somebody would want to ride something like that? i can think of one reason but it...

    Starting to look for vipers....need advice

    financially you can swing it. BUT: you will be car poor. and trust me- at your age you dont want that. get a 94 tt supra and use the leftover cash to make it bpu. you are looking at 400+ rwhp. also the supra will not depreciate much unleast toyota makes the new one and imports it. also the...

    MAGNECOR SPARK PLUG WIRES?

    if you are not running an aftermarket higher-output ignition, the wires are purely a cosmetical upgrade. (are there any aftermarket coils to begin with?) as it was said in a previous post, thicker wires are not necessary an upgrade. the only time you benefit from them is if your existing wires...
