    Hmmm, maybe something like this: :D Or some spinners if you need a little more bling: (The image of these on a Viper is ++painful++ hehehehe) DT

    TOP GEAR VIPER VIDEO!

    Re: TOP GEAR VIPER VIDEO! Yeah, I somehow glossed over the Murci appearing on the list twice (once for dry, once for wet) - I agree it would make sense that the (AWD) Murci would have _less_ loss in the wet, meaning the SRT would likely show a greater delta between dry and wet! Heck, like you...

    TOP GEAR VIPER VIDEO!

    Re: TOP GEAR VIPER VIDEO! Howdy! Just watched the video - wanted to say thanks to the recorder/poster/encoder/etc :laugh: FWIW, I thought the clip was very entertaining! Clarkson did his normal bit, you could tell he _really_ liked the car (he had this suppressed grin during all his in car...

    Z06 spied and already talks of "Viper killing"...

    Re: Z06 spied and already talks of Heheheh - no I did it purpose, just making sure everyone was paying attention :laugh: I posted something like that a couple of months ago on the Vette boards (it took those guys several weeks to do the math) - finally, someone in a very PC tone asked...

    used 03 viper or C6 Convertible

    Howdy! I've seen some people debate about a (used) SRT vs. a C5/Z06 or C6 Coupe, but then you've got a Convertible vs. a Coupe/Hardtop and that's a little trickier (some people don't like Verts for whatever reason) *But* if you're shopping ragtops, then the SRT has _no_ competition in my mind...

    Z06 spied and already talks of "Viper killing"...

    Re: Z06 spied and already talks of Yeah, gas is roughly ~6.5lbs per gallon (without getting into the pressure state, etc.) - so in a Z06 with a 18 gallon tank you're looking at ~117 lbs for just gas. FWIW, I weighed mine on a track scale @ Roebling - a little over 1/2 a tank of gas...

    This is what you get when you add DLM+VOS+PAXTON+STOCK MOTOR= BIG HP

    Howdy! Wow, that's a great _looking_ install! (Of course, the extra power doesn't hurt huh? :laugh: ) Very clean, heck, it almost looks OEM - the polished intake plenum looks super (that's probably a nice cosmetic touch, blower or no - I think you had yours done before the SC-er?). Cheers! DT

    SRT10 POLISHED ALUMINUM WHEELS

    Hey Ronnie! Umm, this is off topic - but I think I saw a post that said you were "C5Ronnie" - are you the same Ronnie from Jacksonville, FL that used to have a C4 before your C5? If you_are_ this is DT (Danny), you bought my AFR heads years ago (I had the Black, then White C4's) I think we...

    Need Help! Attn: current or previous 01-04 porsche 911 turbo owners.

    Howdy! I was shopping 996/TT's before I decide to go with an SRT - the 01's as you probably know had a different interior than the 02+ models. Some people seem to think the 02+ "upgraded" interior is a bit better (I've personally only seen the 02+ so I don't know how much the 01's differ)...

    Alice's Top 10 Reasons for Trading for a C6

    Re: Alice\'s Top 10 Reasons for Trading for a C6 The Z06's seem to be quicker on a road course vs. the C6/Z51 (actually quicker/faster in every performance category). FWIW, a 1SA package C6 (which includes the sport seats, the base seats are not very good), with the Z51 package, comes out...

    When does the SRT-10 Coupe come out ?

    Howdy Folks! I know the Vette and Viper play in different market segments (especially the current C5/base-C6). But with the next generation Z06 on the horizon, sporting (though still just speculation) a 500HP 427, very light weight, and what looks to be big fenders, massive SRT sized rubber...

    New Car Caviar; Four Star Day Dream

    Funny (not haha) you should mentioned this... ...a sidebar column in Car Stereo Review in the last couple of issues mentioned "a manufacturer" that was planning on a 80-120GB removable HD option for the OEM stereo - the HD "cartridge" comes out and has a Firewire/1394 interface for managing...

    New Car Caviar; Four Star Day Dream

    Howdy Alice! Looks like the most seamless iPOD-ification available is going to be aftermarket (though some people dislike the ergo interruption non-OEM head units produce, and the theft enticement they generate...). At any rate, Alpine has a slick solution out - called the KCA-420i, it's their...

    SRT rims on 96 GTS.....looks GREAT

    Looks great! I'm a big fan of front-to-rear size offset - It really helps to balance out the larger rear area, while keeping the front looking streamlined. Are the current SRT OEM wheels forged? I assume they're cast (seems like there aren't any OEM forged wheels anymore, I guess cost is an...

    04 SRT/Paxton Supercharger 651rwhp and 591rwtrq!

    Howdy Folks! Any opinions of a centrifugal (like the Paxton) vs. a positive displacement (like the Roe) for road racing? When I was shopping forced induction for my soon-to-be-replaced-with-a-Viper current car, I had some people suggest the PD type was better for a couple of reasons: 1)...

    six second quarter mile...

    Howdy! True it's a carbon body, tube frame, custom tranny, etc., that has -zero- in common with a Celica, however there is some Toyota technology powering it :^) It's using a 2JZ Supra motor - 3.0L, built (they *might* be running one of the stroker kits so it could be 3.2 or 3.3L) - and of...

    A Viper in our Corvette World

    Very Nice!! Thanks for the chuckle this morning - this is classic: "I believe he was revving the engine...or humming loudly." I'm about to be an ex-Vetter myself - having owned four, I'm pretty much done. Even the much hyped, up-n-coming Z06/C6, regardless of the performance figures (which...

    SRT on BBC Top Gear

    Best post on the topic so far! I've noticed much of the "HP-per-liter crowd" are carping about cars from Japan (and elsewhere) that aren't/weren't sold here, and bench racing cars they can't/don't own. My usual retort is how about _your_ car vs _my_ car on track - not some magazine, TV...

    Just Been to the Vette forums...

    Just a quick addition (I hadn't honestly read through ALL the posts when I posted)... The Modified vs. Stock with the price delta debate drives me nuts. i.e., several posts along the lines of "if you took the 20K difference and put it into the vette" I'll tell you what you'll have: a no...

    Just Been to the Vette forums...

    Howdy Folks! First of all, I had originally posted in the Gen I/II forums, since I was planning on a 01+ GTS. Here's a link to my orignal post: http://vca2.viperclub.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB14&Number=430752&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 To...

    Coupe pictures from VOI !! WHERE ARE THEY

    Howdy Folks! I like the design on the SRT-10 (vert) quite a bit (in fact, I may be shopping one vs. a GTS which was my original intent), so I was a *BIG* fan of the Carbon Coupe, which - from what I could see - was basically a fixed hardtop Vert, with some body changes (hood, trunk deck...

    Anyone ever use supermaxx headers?

    Howdy AB! Not Viper specific, but I have Supermaxx headers on my Z06 and the build quality is excellent - echos the same I've heard from other customers as well. Excellent pre-buy customer service as well. I wanted SS, and a complete setup (headers, hiflo cats, X-pipe), the system I got had...

    Anyone using LED lights in the rear??

    Howdy! I also read that the latency of traditional incandescent bulbs -v- LED systems actually makes a considerable difference in stop times (for the driver reacting behind the LED lit car). I can't remember exact numbers (incandescent measured in milliseconds, LED in nanoseconds), but it was...
