    The 2nd quickest all motor Viper?

    Like others of have stated, sounds like an N/A car, but likely has a nice shot on top of it to get that kind of trap.

    GTS Fuel Door Removal?

    If referring to separating the hose itself from the metal bracket, I sprayed a little WD40 about the edge of the hose, grabbed the bracket and pushed the hose through using my thumbs. Using a little WD40 on the hose helps slip it back in to place too. It can be a challenge to get a good grip of...

    Short Throw Shifter

    I really like my combo of a MGW first strike (knob) and SVS short-throw shifter. Both are large improvements over stock.

    Sad day for me........

    Awww, Duane! Sorry to hear your circumstances have changed sense we met for lunch. I saw Duane's car less than two weeks ago and it is in pristine condition. And the new wheels are a killer add-on deal for such a low price. Best of luck on the sale and let me know if there is anything I...

    Rear glass operation on GTS - how hard is yours to lift?

    I think most all of us are for supporting our vendors and like many here, the vast majority of parts and services I have procured for my Viper come from Viper members and Viper specific vendors. On the other hand, I don't think buying a quality set of struts for what sounds like 1/2 the going...

    Rear glass operation on GTS - how hard is yours to lift?

    I recently purchased a replacement set off of ebay (the ones that have a Racine, Wisconsin address). I had heard positive feedback from other owners. I can't speak for the other sources of the ebay struts that also sell them. They are made by a company that also makes them for OEM's. I ordered...

    Air intake help...

    I will clarify my statement then....on a Mustang dyno with my N/A GTS producing 592rwhp, my car showed no gains by removing the S&B filters, then the stock air box completely or by then removing the smooth tubes. Therefore on my car at its current power level, on a dyno demonstrated the a stock...

    Air intake help...

    Damn Yankee is right. I just had my car dyno'd after having a set of heads/cam and supporting mods done and the shop stated they messed with the intake including removing it and the filters (with hood off) to see if would gain any more power and they got zero gain.

    Intermittent A/C

    May be a stupid question, but what setting do you have the air venting to? Through the dash vents or the floor vents? EDIT: may not apply to A/C, but I know the heat will only work through the floor vents.

    Polished or chrome lips?

    I have had both polished and chromed aftermarket wheels and while some think the chrome is too "bling" they are a heck of a lot easier to clean and maintain the finsh (eg. less fine scratches) than polished...especially with cars like the Viper that have very dusty brakes. My current wheels...

    water/methanol on N/A

    I would think the benefit for an N/A application might also be if you were running a high compression set-up.:dunno: A cheaper route than having to run 93+ octane.

    Laser ticket yesterday

    Ivory, just contact a couple local traffic attoneys that work the court location you will have to report to. I got lasered on my way to the track last summer (94 south of Milwaukee) going 80 in a 65. I spoke to an attoney who said he works well with the primary judge, so charged me ~$150 to...

    D.I.Y

    Duane, I removed the cats on my B/W and no heat issues with the sills or in the cabin. Your Corsa exhaust is going to the increase the noise more than removal of the cats IMO. If you are around this weekend, we could meet up at Quaker and you can take mine for a spin to see the difference in...

    High Octane Gas?

    Sunoco 109 unlead is only 99 MON. Sunoco 110 leaded is 105 MON. That is why you can't go by the RON figures when it comes to fuels. Even the same 109 RON figures between fuel companies can have different MON ratings. I believe the VP 109 unleaded has a MON of 101 vs. Sunoco's 99 MON. When...

    High Octane Gas?

    Whatever you do, don't get us starting on MON vs. RON ratings or the impact of leaded vs. unleaded when mixing to get a certain octane mix, Mike :D

    High Octane Gas?

    Your friend may be running higher octane for a couple of reasons: - Slower/cooler burning to avoid detonation or pulling timing (reducing power) from prolonged and increased cylinder heat generated from the FI set-up. - Being he is running a TT set-up, he is likely running a stand alone EMS, so...

    1996 Viper GTS Auto loan and insurance

    Used Capital One Blank Check for my '97 B/W Viper. It was a pretty simple process, just submitted my application online and within an hour the phone rang and I was pre-approved. I belive is was even on a Sunday. There may be a couple of steps that a seller may find a little less advantageous...
