    Your next car?

    Non-transferable, I think it was $2,500 to upgrade the 3yr/36k warranty up to the lifetime. I can also lift the jeep 3.5 inches and still stay under warranty.

    Beginner Drift Event in S Cal

    The event had 36 cars competing. They had 3 courses and were only planning on giving out 1st place for each course. But after they did they then gave me another award that they were not planning on. From what I was told I ended up taking 2nd place on 2 of the events and 3rd place in the...

    Beginner Drift Event in S Cal

    Well as far as can you drift a Viper. Yes, Samuel Hubinette won the 2004 and 2006 Formula D national titles in his Viper. He's now in a Charger. As far as practicing safe. Yes I practice out at Willow Springs, no walls on the Walt James track or the Balcony. If anyone wants they can come out...

    Beginner Drift Event in S Cal

    Beginner Drift Event in S Cal

    What % of Vipers have been totaled?

    I had heard 20%, but would defer to JonB at Parts Rack

    Which of these 3 should i get to replace my salvage?

    I also think the ABS is more important then the color or the $. While the $ is a tough one. The ABS is well worth it I think for the real world situations. You can change the color fiarly cheaply if you want another color. As far as the mods. All the years are fairly easy to mod. Don't worry to...

    What Would You Do If Your Son Got A Ticket For 80+ In A 25 MPH Zone?

    I'm not as harsh as many other owners here as far as what I'd do. I know as a kid I got many tickets of that nature. It's unfortunately the nature of both the age and the car. Personally I think I'd ldo a few things. 1 - Insist on a Driver's ed type program. But not like most. A racing school...

    Durability???

    I'm going to post from the other point of view. My car Viper has 200,000 miles on it. It's a Gen 1, which is the worst of the squeakers. It does rattle and does squeak. It's also only waterproof with the original soft top (even then only mostly) ... but as it's been mentioned above it's like no...

    More test results (hint: close, but Viper wins again)

    Nice, thanks. I love it when American cars fight it out. Without the competition European cars win, but when the US fights with itself, it's amazing what we can do ...haha 8-)

    Which is faster???

    Just my 2 cents .. Water / Meth can help on the power / heat soaking consistency issues w/SC cars. I've heard many debates over the Water/Meth issues, but if it's used for power consistency at high temps vs. used to gain hp by increasing boost and timing, it will help alot.

    Viper Drifting

    To each their own. Some like Drag racing (done it), some like Auto-Xing (done it), some enjoy just driving it (do it all the time), and some like Drifting (getting better at it ...haha). I have been enjoying my Viper for the past ten years and hoping to enjoy it for the next ten. One of my...

    Viper Drifting

    It's awsome fun ... yea it's fairly tuff to keep it under control. The big issue is steering angle which is not easy to adjust. DC Performance (310) 841-6996 is doing all my engine modifications, and SWS (Street-Wise Racing) is doing all my steering and fabrication adjustments, like roll cage...

    Viper Drifting

    Haha ... GTS Bruce, You mentioned Auto-Xing ...I've done quite a few over the past 10 years including winning the TCRA Division 2 Time title at the Cal Speedway, as well as a bunch of other unimportant stuff. The real fun is all about enjoying what you do. For me drifting has been a blast...

    3.33 or 3.55

    I actually run the 3.73 with S/C. 1st gear is all but useless, but I really like where the car sits at 70mph+. 4th gear works great, while 3rd gear is great for quick pick up to 70 mph. Personally I think 3.55 might be your better option if you want to feel quicker in the seat of your pants...

    water/methanol on N/A

    The main gains of w/m are more consistant power at higher temps and reduced risk to damage internal engine parts

    I need a better radio
