    Total it or Fix it?

    Have to do the Math. If frame is bent up then total it. If it is just the body, then you can work with that

    not once... but twice... turned down by a stealership for a VIper alignment...

    Did you drive your viper across the state or did you trailer it? Too bad we can't get Tator to move to this side of NY. All I have to say is Tator is extremely helpful as he pointed me in the right direction on buying my Viper.

    How would an RT do against a GTS???

    The GTS actually has a slight edge in the 1/4 mile due to a number of factors. First and foremost where the weight is located drastically influences a vehicle's launch. Lighter is usually associated with quicker, but also where the weight is located also can help a vehicle to launch. More...

    Post of shame :)

    Most Vipers stock are not tuned very well from factory.

    picking up a salvaged gts

    To be perfectly honest, if you are looking for the dream forever car then buy exactly what you want. I did just that. I wanted a Gen II Red with white stripes and I was determined to get that. I saved up 45k and got financing from Capital One so that I could purchase any Gen II Viper I wanted...

    675 HP?

    I don't think we are going to see the horsepower crash we saw in the 70's. Simply put the demand for things has changed. More and more people are learning to adapt. They will buy their muscle car for driving on that sunny day, and then a Toyota Hybrid for work. Gas prices do affect the average...

    Red....Proven to be fastest with the assistance of science!

    Sorry but just look at a Rainbow and you can obviously see that Red Travels the fastest as it takes the largest distance and still arrives at the finish the same time as the other colors who took shorter routes.

    The Biggest Viper Myth: The Viper Handling myth

    It is definately the low end torque. Other cars need to increase RPM's quite a bit to gain torque on the rear wheels. The Viper has that high torque at low RPM's. While a Camero can make some decent hp, it is usually at much higher RPM's than the Viper. As for breaking loose the rear wheels...

    Diminishing returns of huge horsey power?

    I am pondering what I am going to do to my lightly modded viper in the next 2 years. 2002 FE with Forged pistons, roller rockers, 708 cam, Eldebrock headers, Corsa and Vec2 controler on board. I am thinking of going to a side mounted Twin Turbo because I dont want to do heavy alterations to the...

    Why not have control

    I can see both sides of the argument. Some want a raw simple car other's want modern technology to aid in their driving. I like the idea of Traction control. Like the Z06, if you dont want it you turn it off. You could also say if you want it on a Viper you buy it after market. For myself, I...

    Another Snake Bite!

    I just got mine in Febuary and I baby it. I get on the gas a little bit here and there just to probe the car a little bit. Get a feel for about where the tires break loose. I recomend probing the car on an open 4 lane road when you are the only car on the road. Also a great thing if their are...

    Anyone using a Motec M800 computer?

    I thought it would be a bit more expensive but 10k is gonna hurt. I am thinking of getting the side mounted turbo's from SVS. (probably in about 2 years as I still have to finish paying off the Viper lol, but I always research everything about a year ahead so I know where I am going). I have a...

    Anyone using a Motec M800 computer?

    This mod supposedly has the ability to offer traction control, anyone actually have it and does it actually work? How much do these toys sell for? Just thinking if I am gonna go to TT, I might want to upgrade the Vec 2 to a Motec, and get Traction Control as a bonus.

    Rear Gears

    Can you explain what the difference is between the 3.07 and the 3.55 gears? What does the 3.55 do for you? Allows you to stay in a gear longer? More power?

    Looking for a Final Edition ACR

    lol, I guess some people just want a really rare car that will increase in value. For me I just bought the car cause I love the way it looks and handles! I never ever intend to sell it now that I own it! I think I might be buried in it lol! (Although my oldest son of 8 would be pissed!)

    Hardest thing to get used to!

    Yes I should be changed to an owner, no Idea how I go about that. Actually, I think it is easier to buckle on the right, door seems to impinge upon space for hand to work in. And when you get in and out the buckle area get's bumped or moved out of postion, while if it was on the right the...

    Hardest thing to get used to!

    Put a couple hundred miles on my 02 as the weather has gotten nice and what really is difficult is the seatbelt goes from the upper right to the lower left and every other vehicle I have ever driven is upper left to lower right! I almost feel like an idiot that every time I take out the viper I...

    How would my GTS do against an SRT?

    Stock vs Stock I would say the SRT will be faster due to having a little bit more horsepower under the hood. However once you do basic mod's like K&N, headers and Cat back it is dead even.

    Corvette Guy-A Poll Maybe

    Have to realize that a good portion of Viper owners are previous Corvette owners. Most American Sports car owners will tip their hat to another American Sports car owner. I own a 81 Vette and now a 02 FE Viper. The Viper is definately a few steps up all the way around, but I still have tons...

    Horsepower Challenge game!

    Since I am curious about what my Viper can do and what certain modifications will do I decided to ask the Viper community for there imput. Rules: Assume an average driver on street legal tires (like the Kumo 700's). What do you think the following rear wheel horse power ratings would yeild...

    All Viper owners reply...

    Everyone knows that Red is the fastest. ROY G BIV, as you can see according to the way light travels Red takes the longest route and still arrives at the same time as Violet. Since their really are no Orange Vipers the guys with Yellow think they are the fastest since their next in line :)

    '02 GTS Final Edition

    I paid 65k for mine in Feb. Had 5800 miles, and a ton of bolt on's. Corsa exhaust, Eldebrock headers, Vec 2 computer. Ripper shifter, etc. Engine was zeroed at Arrow and had the forged pistons and Lumpy cam in the rebuild. T&D , roller rockers etc. Extra set of CCW rims with Kumos...

    Head Units for 02 GTS

    Was looking to upgrade my sound system and I was looking at head units and came across the Eclipse AVN 7000. This HU is well a bundle of everything. The only problem is Crutchfield's and Circuit City and a Sound Domain all say the HU won't fit the 02 Vipers. I don't see why not? The depth...
