    Trade Showcar Z06 for 96 B/W GTS?

    Once the article comes out, post about it on corvetteforum and put an ad there, too. A lot of young dudes would be really jazzed to have a "magazine car." Like I mentioned before, when I put my ad for my Z on the forum, I was VERY aggressive with my price, as I didn't want to deal with...

    Trade Showcar Z06 for 96 B/W GTS?

    Nice looking Z06, but you'd have a hard time getting more than $35K out of the car (of course, there are always suckers!). A year ago, when the market for all things wasn't in the crapper, I sold my blown Z06 for $33K and it had 3pc ($$) rims and better tires, upgraded C6 Z51 brakes, newer...

    rear turbo

    Not knocking the setup - it's basically the same as an STS kit, and I like the idea of putting the turbo and most of the piping where it won't melt everything. 700rwhp is nothing to sneeze at, either. Is there some kind of bracket holding up the turbo? Can anything be done to improve the...

    rear turbo

    I saw that on the Alley and on Ebay. What does the present owner do for fuel beside the BAP? You'd still have to buy injectors, wouldn't you? Then of course a dyno tune. Does anything need cutting/trimming for all the pipework? 13psi sounds like a lot of boost for "only" 700rwhp. It is...

    HP Gain From Just Adding High Flow Cats?

    Since you're going to have to cut the stock exhaust to install the hi-flo cats, why not do the exhaust, too? Better sound and better looks, too. I went with the 2.5" because that is what the stock manifold downpipes were, then bolted on a Borla exhaust with it. FWIW, I went with the...

    Factory Center Caps with Red Viper Logo?

    VERY easy to do yourself! I did mine, even though I have Iforged rims on the car now.

    Buying a Viper from eBay, so how's it been for you guys?

    I bought my Viper sight-unseen and didn't lay eyes on it until the driver unloaded it in my driveway. I also sold my Z06 where the buyer never saw the car in person, either. Neither were inspected by third parties. Just tons of pics, some discussion on the phone, and then $$ wired. Speaking...

    keeping battery charged AFTER removal?

    It sounds as if you're removing the battery. If that's the case, just keep it inside your house and plugged into the tender.

    oil pressure gen 2 stock

    Mine also stays pretty much the same regardless of the temp or RPM, leading me to believe (as someone already mentioned) that it's not very accurate.

    Why not the best of both worlds? Don't forget the rare '97 B/W RT/10!

    Brake squeal.....

    I installed the Hawk HPS pads you linked to on the front of my '98. I'm happy with them, though they do make a little noise during low speed braking. MUCH LESS dust than stockers!

    oil changing for winter

    No expert, but it always made more sense to change the oil after storage. Almost all of the "old" oil (which after 1-3k miles is hardly "old") is basically just sitting in the bottom of the oil pan. Why would it hurt anything? Even when you change the oil, the "old" oil is what's lining the...

    Tell me what its like

    From my perspective, unless the Mustangs you had/drove had over 500rwhp, you won't be bored. However, seeing as you've had 10 sec (or sub 10 sec) crotch rockets, and IF those 'stangs were modded '03/'04 Cobra's, well, you MAY be a bit bored. I will say that no car will stimulate your senses...

    How many would rather see the Viper become extinct?

    Really? Bob Lutz himself acknowledges that his inspiration came from the original Cobra. He drove an Autokraft Cobra of his own while he was Chrysler Prez and to quote him, "What a shame, I thought, that Chrysler has nothing like this." "Envisioned as a modern-day homage to the original...

    Evan Smith sets ET and MPH record for stock domestic cars in 2008 Viper Roadster

    No offense to 1BADGTS, nor do I mean to imply any mistrust, but if they tested someone's personal vehicle and publish it, it doesn't mean anything more or less than the following-->10-second stock C6 Corvette Z06 on run flats - Autoblog

    what could cause a difference in height from R side to L side?

    Mine is lower on the driver side, like many others have indicated. Honestly, if you can notice it just from looking, it's more than 3mm. I'd say mine is a good 1/2" (12.5mm for the metric folk).

    GTS is Chirping!

    If you have some belt dressing, you could use that to find out if the source is, in fact, the belt. Otherwise, like others have said, it sounds like a pulley.

    Iforged wheels question

    I have the 18/19's with 295/35 up front and 345/30 in the rear, all PS2's. Just in case you don't want an idea of what a little more sidewall and rim protection looks like. Fills out the wheelwell a little more without dropping the car, too.

    17" wheel options?

    I was in the same boat, having new PS2's on my 17" 5-spokes. The best you can hope for is a used set of older 17" aftermarket rims. I bit the bullet and bought a set of Iforged 18/19" and new PS2's. The problem is if you can find a manufacturer of aftermarket 17" rims, you're spending similar...

    Anyone given up on Gen II.0 interior door handle bezels & screwed them?

    I agree that $55 for a POS bezel is ridiculous. I am pretty sure there is a company that sells an aluminum version (similarly overpriced), but hey, it won't break!

    Anyone given up on Gen II.0 interior door handle bezels & screwed them?

    Seems like a lot of $$ to switch to the '99 setup (although the door handles ARE much nicer). I of course broke one of mine when upgrading my speakers and thought about doing the same thing. On my '98, I actually have a '98 door panel on one side, and a '99-up panel on the other (though both...
