    Question about Clutch

    I just visited a friend who has an 03 like mine. However, his clutch is so much heavier than my clutch. The travel is about the same, but I would have to say that it's probably two or three times heavy than my clutch.....so heavy that his wife can't drive it. The car has about 6k miles. Does...

    3.55 gear change and RPM question

    Hi everyone, I am considering the Quaiffe Differential and the 3.55 gear change. Does anyone know what the rpm is on 5th gear going at 70mph? and then at 6th gear going at 70mph? I am getting so much wheel hop that it is getting annoying. I guess the Quaiffe is the only way to fix that...

    Shifter shakes violently from hard acceleration

    I have about 7k miles on my car, and I've noticed lately that when I am in gear and rolling and then accelerate rapidly (literally flooring it), the car loses a bit of traction (which is normal), but then the shifter started shaking violently until I gain traction. Is this normal?

    http://s12.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=34BUI6O9TAPMY0SP37L7FHZF3D This is a stupid comparison test that is posted all over the C6 forum. The guys doing the test called the viper "garbage." These guys don't know how to drive or appreciate American muscle cars....but then again, the brits have...

    I drove my 94 nsx: Comparison with viper

    I sold my trusty 94 nsx to my brother and got the viper in November of last year. I was down in S. CA and drove the nsx again to see the difference now that I have driven almost 2k miles on the viper. Here goes: 1. The initial impression: After you drive the snake, there is NO GOING BACK...

    Black Part Around Exhaust Exit: Paint coming off

    I noticed that a small paint patch around the black part by the exhaust is comming off. Has anyone have this problem? I presume this is because of the exhaust being too hot and frying the black paint around it. Should I have it repainted or just leave it alone? If I leave it alone, would...

    Just installed my K&N and Corsa Track: MY GOD...THE SOUND!!!

    I just installed the Corsa Track Exhaust and K&N. Thanks Dave for the helpful advise on how to take the screw out near the front tire fender by taking off part of the liner. The total take off took me about 1.5 hours. I also wrapped the cats with thermal wrap....that took an hour by...

    Wow, for $100, and 20 minutes, I changed the door speakers and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!! I can hear the highs, and the bass is MUCH MUCH CLEANER.

    My viper failed smog!!!

    Because I purchased this car out of state, the state of CA required that a smog check be done. The test came back very very clean, but I FAILED. The reason? Well, before I had it shipped back here, it was in the dealer to have some recalls done and to fix the AC unit that died when the...

    RB1 navigation installed

    I have to say that after the install of the RB1 navigation, my personal opinion is that the interior look MUCH more upscale. I really did notlike the oem head unit. Also, like everyone says, the sound is more powerful somehow. I will be replacing the speakers this week-end. The navigation is...

    I feel like I am too short in the viper

    Hi guys, well after 2 days with the viper, I have to say it is nothing short of amazing. However, I am only 5'5", and feel very short inside the viper. My head barely touches the top of the headrest. Outside wise, I look ok, so at least I don't look like a dwarf driving it. However, I feel...

    Powder coating brake calipers versus painting

    Can anyone tell me what the advantage of powder coating something versus just painting it? G2 supposedly make a really good paint for painting calipers. It would be much less expensive than powder coating.

    Well, here's an update, I flew to St. Louis, MO to check out the viper from an owner with 5 vipers total. The car looks immaculate with less than 3000 miles on it. I was surprised that the he did not even know how to turn on the headlights and running lights of the SRT, but he said he has so...

    Hi All, I am so excited. I am about to close a deal on a 03 SRT from a private owner located in St. Louis. I will be flying down there to look at it next Sunday. My question is should I be concern that a car in St. Louis may not pass CA smog? I assume this is an American Car, so it will...
