    Jacob Javits Car Show

    Agreed.. I finally got down to Jacob Javits on Friday and was NOT impressed.. the car looks so plastic. The paint had no depth, all the badges were red plastic.. it just didn't look right. The air duct hole things on the side are way too sharp and it makes the doors look pretty silly being that...

    TT Viper anyone?

    John, will your system be controllable from inside the car? One thing I like about driving the turbo imports I have driven, is that you can adjust the boost level on the Apexi/Blitz/whatever boost controller.. cruise around the streets on near stock, and turn it up when you want to go fast...

    Advice on Wheels and tires

    Anyone know if these would fit on a Viper? Really like 'em - they match the inner spoke to the car color too if requested.. http://store5.yimg.com/I/supra_1673_34288316...

    I REALLYwant to get a Viper but i have some questions...

    Rafi.. I am 23, but probably still look at cars the way you do. If I had the cash when I was 17, I would have wanted one so bad... and I would be a greasy spot on a road somewhere too. No matter what, most everyone has that first accident when they're a young guy.. I don't even want to admit...

    2002 RT/10 FIRE!!!

    Should be covered by warranty? A part under warranty broke.. and took some other bits out with it... "I'd like to claim warranty on this $10 fuel hose.. oh, and uh, could you just take a loookkk...."

    1087 rw hp Viper

    **** right.. you gotta give it to Toyota - the Supra sure plays hard with the V8s 10s and 12s, considering it's only a 3L straight six! Impressive engine, Getrag box and diff. Great value for money too.. about the cheapest way around to get 800rwhp. When is someone going to really go all out on...

    Viper Question for all you enthusiests

    Sure, more valves would make it go faster top end (and I don't see how they would reduce bottom end torque), but it's kinda the point... Dodge make muscle cars.. huge displacement single cam tyre burners.. it's what they do and it's cool. Cube for cube that straight six can't be beat, but the...

    Help, Red with Sliver Stripes or Red with White Stripes?

    I'm with Gerald and still wanna know how Wayne got that car so d@mn shiny! I think maybe the guy who did the floors kept going up and over the car? And, oh yeah, I always liked red with white. Nice choice.

    tonnau cover

    Joe.. nice price.. keep us updated on the work it needs, the power it produces, the wear the mileage has caused etc.. there are people buying wrecked cars for the same price.. I'd prefer yours for sure.

    True?

    Agree.. wtf is all this going on? Ya readin this? This IS the place for this. Where else can you ask "anyone got any experiences with X?" and get a reply? Sure, you may get BS, but you look for both sides. Speaking of which... ?? I have long valued the internet for a source of both info and...

    High miler pricing....

    What is considered high-mileage in terms of "you will get problems with bits falling off soon"? What I mean is, look at it as a used car, not as a trophy or a collector's item. I will be buying one and taking it to Australia, and believe me, this thing is gonna get driven! From my past...

    RHD Conversion

    Corvette Conversions in Queensland make a Viper kit (check it out - spoooky http://www.corvette.com.au/viperdash93on.jpg ). I have heard that their fascia work is first rate. The kit is only about 3000 USD. Most other cars I have heard of being converted, installation of the kit is about 2500...

    RHD Conversion

    Hey I just thought of something.. all the UK viper owners must have had this done... any advice? Any of you done any mods? Any of you found out you *couldnt* do any mods? I would hate to buy the snake and find I was limited to NA only.. oh, and the nearest Viper tech will be 10000 miles away

    RHD Conversion

    Has anyone had a Viper converted to Right Hand Drive? I'm Australian and want to import one.. there are a couple of companies who do the conversion. My main concern is mod-ability. eg. If I was to get the upcoming Roe supercharger kit, or the Tynman turbo, you think it would still fit? I'd like...

    1087 rw hp Viper

    Oh OK Paolo.. you are talking peak - gotcha now. Yeah, you can have max torque at a low RPM, and a much higher RPM with slightly less torque would still be your power peak. On the same page now

    1087 rw hp Viper

    Paolo.. no, torque and power are related by RPM. Increase one, the other increases by the same proportion. Think of power as engine-speed-corrected-torque. Ie, produce the same torque at 3000RPM and 6000RPM, and you have double the power at 6000. Double your torque at any engine speed = double...

    Turbo or Supercharger?

    Uh.. he makes a fair point.. I'm not sure of the situation further than what I've read here (so if I'm off the mark tell me)... but John, why *are* you taking a customer's car to drags etc? I hope he wants you doing this..

    Supercharged Viper picture...

    Sean, You rock. That's all I have to say about that. Will this upgrade need drive train work? Clutch/tranny/joints/diff/shafts ? Are these included in the price? Once again, YOU ROCK. That is all.

    Supercharged Viper picture...

    Sean.. beautiful - love it. There are lots of these sorta kits on other cars, I think it will be a huge success on the Viper. What price are you aiming at? Any clue at all what hp numbers your aimin at? Say, 550-650 area? I love mild DIY kits.. half the fun is doing it myself, but 900 requires...

    Under drive pulley

    I think the point is also to underdrive the alternator etc too.. smaller wheel, same revs, hopefully less work done on the alternator.. well that's the theory, but there are a hell of a lot of factors at play.. So that's where the saving is as well as in the reduction of rotational inertia...

    some people have too much $$$

    The idea of making sure your car goes to a good home is almost as odd to me as the idea of garage queens. I have thought about making a GTS convertible myself. Relax.. the guy obviously wants to spend the $ to make your car into a unique more beautiful car. Think about it.. the hatch of the...

    What is the best way to remove road tar from.....

    On my motorcycles I've always used methylated spirits.. They get covered in asphalt goo and chain lube and all sort of nasty crud.. the metho is water soluble too so I always know I can get it straight off.. never seen it fade the paint or stickers, plastics.. anything.. takes it straight off...

    GTS Convertible?

    Oh crap - looks like I've started a war! Heh heh.. OK, I think I have heard of that place, might give em a call! I do like the look of the RT/10 rear from the side.. looks real sporty the way the passenger cell stops with a sharp decline.. but from behind I like the GTS more.. and from in front...
