    VEC1 HELP !!

    Faulty wiring connections can trip the check engine light. Disconnect the battery then check all the wiring connections for good connections. Now reconnect the battery and set the VEC to 0/0 and crank her up. Hopefully everything should return to normal. Now take her for a spin and dial her...

    Question about VOI Drags

    I unfortunately cannot make the VOI due to a business trip which has me flying out of the country on Friday, Sept. 27th. I will however be available to attend the drags on Wed (as a spectator only). That leads me to my question: Will the VOI Drags be open to all who want to watch or will it...

    Anyone run other than Mobil in our V10s?

    Clancy, You can go to www.royalpurple.com and click on "automotive and racing products", then click on "dealers". The site will tell you where you can get their products in your area. I get mine from NAPA. Oh, by the way, I see you only have 250 miles on your ACR. They recommend you...

    Anyone run other than Mobil in our V10s?

    I've been using their regular multi-viscosity 10W-30 oil. The 41 is actually a racing oil and I haven't tried any of those. If I were to run one of the racing oils it would either be 21 or 41 (5W-30 or 10W-40), depending on the application. If you try one let me know how you like it. I...

    Anyone run other than Mobil in our V10s?

    Yeah, I've been running Royal Purple for a few oil changes. Not really sure about the extra hp (they claim more), but the car does in fact seem to run a bit cooler. So far so good.

    what's the top speed you've hit on the streets ?

    Re: what\'s the top speed you\'ve hit on the streets ? Last night I got pulled over by the Memphis Police as I was heading into Mississippi. He clocked me at 126 mph in a 55 mph zone. He turned on his lights about a mile behind me because he couldn't catch me. I pulled over when I saw his...

    Exhaust Leak

    Hey guys, I need a little help. I have located a leak from one of the clamps securing my straight pipe from the headers to the cat back. I have torqued down on that thing so that I don't think Hercules himself could tighten it anymore. It's still leaking. Not enough to hear, but you can...

    That would explain why I cannot seem to fix it. Thanks.

    viper crash/ warning...graphic

    Yeah, these pictures were posted somewhere before. If I remember correctly, while taking the entrance ramp to the interstate, they lost control and struck the curb which led to the overturn. Both driver and passenger were alright (looked worse than they were). A paramedic took the pictures...

    What's the difference in the stock plug wires compared to the 8.5 mm

    Re: What\'s the difference in the stock plug wires compared to the 8.5 mm A nice crackling sound in your stereo speakers at low RPMs. Seriously, they withstand the heat associated with aftermarket headers better than the stock wires. BUT they really do tend to cause static in your stereo/cd...

    Torque loss with no cats and 1.75 headers?

    Yeah, I believe it's true you'll lose some low end torque with the larger pipes ON A STOCK ENGINE. The 1.75's are meant to be used on a SERIOUSLY modded car. The more power your motor is generating the more power you'll gain from the larger pipes. That is why on a stock engine smaller pipes...

    3"/4" corsa

    Re: 3\"/4\" corsa D*** Gerald, that is a sweet looking Viper! You have to tell me what you use for that finish.

    Torque loss with no cats and 1.75 headers?

    I'm not really sure what size the Belangers are. My guess would be either 1 5/8 or 1 3/4, but definitely not 1 7/8 (probably 1 5/8). 1 7/8 headers would definitely be overkill on a stock motor. If you're planning on supercharging or diving into the motor, the larger pipes will be taken full...

    Headers vs. 1.7 Roller Rockers??

    I would hardly consider myself an expert on the subject of modifications, but from what I have gathered, you will see little if any gains by adding the roller rockers without already having the above mentioned bolt-ons. A '97 with your mods along with a good set of headers will produce...

    Here's a pic of my '96 GTS that I picked up last Thursday !!

    Re: Here\'s a pic of my \'96 GTS that I picked up last Thursday !! Beautiful car! Congradulations! I noticed the tag looks like it's a Hinds Co. MS tag. Just curious if you bought it in MS. Enjoy!

    Calling all Black Vipers

    There is definitely a brown tint in the paint on my black GTS. If in fact the paint shop got the color match wrong, all the buffing in the world will not fix the mismatch. I would have it redone, especially if I wasn't satisfied with the final finish. Good luck. Scott

    from a vette to a viper, who's done it ?

    Re: from a vette to a viper, who\'s done it ? I switched from a Z06 to a GTS this past spring and have been loving it ever since. I drive the car about as much as you are expecting to. The way I look at it, what good is owning a car like the Viper if you don't ENJOY it. I think if you look...

    OFFICIAL SRT-10 POLL!!! THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN?

    I'd have to agree with the majority on the SRT-10. Although I'm glad DC is uping the bar in performance (even though I think they could easily produce better numbers), I cannot make myself like the SRT-10 as much as I like the previous styles. It looks like what I expected the C6 Vette to look...

    Exhaust

    I sent them an e-mail requesting more information on their product. We'll see what they have to say. I'll let you know when they reply.

    Exhaust

    Where did you find this? I checked on their website, and although they have a GTS on the intro page, there was no info on any such product for the Viper. Would be very interesting if true. But you know what they say, "If it sound too good to be true, it is too good to be true!"

    All American Exotic Cars

    I agree with lleon about the MT900. Awesome car. It's what the C6 may have been if GM would have kept Rod Trenne (helped in the design of the C5) instead of using the guy who designed the Aztec! 425HP (courtesy of the Z06's LS6 motor) at 2200lbs, and to top it off it's a mid engine, the car...

    what to look for when looking at these vipers>>>>

    Physically, the areas which show the most wear would be the front facia (particularly on the lower sides in front of the front tires), the rims (lots of curb rashed rims out there), the side sills (discoloring and/or scratches), the carpet on the door (tends to get knotted up), and the leather...

    '99 Shocks

    Re: \'99 Shocks Originally when I bought the car the front felt like it "floated" when the rear felt tight. I thought maybe that was the way the factory set the suspension. Then I found the adjustment knobs and saw the setting on one. I change it to 3 (setting goes from 1 to 6), it tightened...

    '99 Shocks

    \'99 Shocks I had the car on a lift yesterday to change all the fluids and lube everything. I noticed for the first time I had adjustable shocks in the front. I immediately changed the setting ( setting was on 1) and was rewarded by a much tighter, more controlled feel. Anyway, my question...
