    Thumbs up for George at MGW!

    I have been ordering the goodies at MGW since I bought my car last month. I recently had some problems with my First Strike shift knob. I let the backyard mechanic in me have a go at it and kinda butchered the part in my efforts and did not fix it either. I sent the part back to George to look...

    Speeding lesson learned!

    I should know better than this, but I got myself in a scary situation yesterday. I was cruising home on the 95 N and was doing around 78mph in 65 zone passing slower cars and minding my own business.

    Will I like the Sound???

    O.K., I had the rear (Stratus issue) muffler yanked and 2.5" straight pipes installed with cannon sized 4" double walled tips. The work was top notch by Mark and the guys at Performance Muffler here in Vegas. Sound is a little better, louder and with more rasp and pop than stock. Still not...

    Speaker Grill Removal for Venting?

    I have been having hot engine problems with my '01 GTS idling in Vegas traffic. I am trying the fan controller and water wetter route for a quick fix and have also heard that venting the left driver's side hood speaker grill can alleviate engine heat that gathers above the left footwell. Here...

    Opinions on Viper Fresh Air Kit

    Anyone out there have any real results from using the Viper Fresh Air Kit from Advantage Performance? The explanation on the site makes sense and the price is tons better than Vipair or Vararam. What about rain factor from a topless airbox? I did a K & N ziptie mod on my ZO6 where I took out...

    O.K boys, I am on the eve of receiving my first Viper GTS. If all goes as planned, I will be swapping out my '02 ZO6 for an '01 Yellow GTS with around 6K miles on it.

    GTS as a Daily Driver

    Subject: GTS as a Daily Driver o.k., I really need some honest feedback from you folks and please keep the Vette bashing to a minimum. I currently own a 2002 ZO6 that I have enjoyed for about a year now. My dream car is the Viper GTS and I got a call from an auto broker telling me about a 2001...
