    BIG thanks to DC PERFORMANCE....re-dyno'd car.WOW!!!!

    Re: BIG thanks to DC PERFORMANCE....re-dyno\'d car.WOW!!!! On the Viper, maybe. I don't know. But on other cars, you better bet it is a problem. Depending on the space between the header and the head, sometimes even with insulation my wires would crack. This happenend especially with LT1...

    tested my new corsa's today

    Re: tested my new corsa\'s today You will continue to lose hearing and cause further damage to whatever you have left of ear.... ask your doctor. That same effect happens to workers, DJ's Bartenders, Bouncers, etc. Part of my business is night club stuff, I've heard plenty cases like this...

    to South Florida owners.... Any of you able to run at Moroso??? I was told if I ran faster than 14's I'd be asked to leave and come back when I have a 5 point cage... [*****]!!! So I started tripping the lights, sitting there for a while and running something like 17's @ 124 with a 6 second...

    Ran over a sewer at gas station.........

    Oh man, I know that station pretty well! I live on 15th and Bay, 4 blocks away!... I never go there with the Viper because of that same reason! I sometimes thought I was being paranoid but I guess not.

    hmm...Corsa track fell apart

    Ditto. Just make sure to spray some anti-rust primer on the welds, or the steel will start to rust through there, under the galvanized finish and spread like a cancer...

    The comments were endless

    I have another story like that... I pulled up to the Sagamore hotel here in MIami Beach , 1 car behind Scott Stork (I hope I got the name right!) in his VEYRON and with Nikk Hilton on the passenger seat. The car in between us, an escalade full of 300lb bodyguards. I swear for everything I...

    Corsa Exhaust with Random Cats

    I don't pretend to know more than a sound engineer, but I like to always be trying new stuff... VORTEX cones are originally for drag race cars, w/out mufffers, so they fit the sound rules of the track. I figured that's why they suggest placing the cones after the collectors. Well I placed...

    Corsa Exhaust with Random Cats

    Just curious, was this on 2-1/2 or 3" pipes? Mine are 3" but I know that most of the aftermarket exhausts are 2-1/2. I am betting on the cones providing less restriction on 3" than on 2-1/2's...? I'll get it dynoed some day! hopefully now during X-mas, little work around here.

    Corsa Exhaust with Random Cats

    No I haven't :-( I am too lazy to drive on weekends (ride the bike) and weekdays I close shop late... But I did some research on the cones, and apparently since the area of the cone is actually greater than the inside diameter of the pipe, there is very little if any h.p. loss. Definitely...

    What do you think?

    MD Viper you got constrictor snake on your avatar... Vipers are poisonous. That'd be like Lamborghini using a black& white Heifer cow for their logo... :nono:

    Corsa Exhaust with Random Cats

    Yes, it was noisy. But: -I am using 32" MAGNAFLOW mufflers... -Now I have VORTEX cones, huge difference. So I have a car w/out cats, but as quiet or quieter than one with cat-back+cats. The biggest difference is the Vortex cones.

    Viper Test Drive experience

    I think that first post was a lame attempt at explaining that once you drive the Viper you just fall in love w/ it, even if you don't like some things about it. It just sounded like he was putting our cars down, LOL

    Corsa Exhaust with Random Cats

    I'd go with MOPAR Off-road. More power, cheaper and comes with the O2 sims included. Mine is custom-made, but the mopar would be the most similar.

    HIT AND RUN........

    As far as I know you couldn't do anything with that gun anyway, only use it to defend your life and not to chase down a hit-runner... You lawyers here, what are the civilized citizen's options on this case? But I feel your pain, I've avoided posting on this thread because just thinking of what...

    Steady Amber Engine light indicator?

    He said it is steady amber... Tom I agree with what you say, that'd be my #2 step. But again, how hard is it to cycle on-acc 3 times to at least get a first perspective of what's wrong? There's plenty websites out there with OBDII codes info...

    Viper coupe or Prowler?

    Prowler is an embarrassment of a car, a poser's hot rod. Get a real hot rod, or a Viper.

    Steady Amber Engine light indicator?

    Check the codes as I said first. For all you know, you have another problem that is not the gas cap and you need to take it to the dealer. You will have saved yourself the trouble and money of buying the code reader. After all, cycling ON-ACC 3 times is not that hard, is it?

    Steady Amber Engine light indicator?

    I read my OBDII codes by cycling the key ON-ACC 3 times.... Mine is an 04 though...

    What do you think?

    especially if made out of LEAD.... ;-) Ok, yes, it would if it is big enough, and positioned at the right angle and right height.
