    Insurance

    The national corvette museum just started an insurance company. I just changed mine to them as I know the guy running the new company. Adam Boca. I was paying 2900 a year for my 06 Viper Coupe 08Z06 & my wife's Lotus Elise. It is limited miles that you decide. Stated value etc. My new rate...

    2 post vs. 4 post lift

    I have been in the building business for 30+ years. Please don't assume that because a slab is one depth in one area it is the same in another. The fill underneath the slab is usually leveled off by a laborer. I have seen very few transits used to insure it is level. I do require this, but...

    Gen 3 S/C'ed vs. Gen 4 NA

    Sounds like someone I know. He only has to do it once so he has no problem with heat. Woodhouse install. 355gears Pilot Sport Cups it feels like it does not hit the ground before the next light. That what he said anyway.lol

    Owners of 08s with 3.55 Gears Report

    Sorry, still confused. If you are running the same cars would the torque not work the same for both cars assuming that both would be at the same RPM's at shift therefore making the lower gear still pull harder. If the torque is consistent with both cars would it not continue at any speed as...

    Owners of 08s with 3.55 Gears Report

    I am curious about this. The power is the same as you go thought the RPM's no matter what gear. The only way this could happen is if it was a traction issue & he should have had that down low. I am not disagreeing with what you said it just does not sound correct. Can someone help? Am I...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    I am not an educated man. I had to go to work to help feed my siblings. I am only a millionaire not multi, but still working on it, have a lot of years left. (God Willing) I think to bring education in to this really shows who you are. Ignorance about somethings is something they can help...

    kicker ks600 s installed--stereo observations

    I was thinking of doing the same thing (Kicker's). I thought mine was blown too, but it has been that way since new. I am going to see if it changes with everything open. Let us know if you get it resolved & how.

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    I have already said that I should have said a couple of people. What I wanted to know was if the low end power of the Viper did not allow it to hook up? Did the high gears (in my experience) cause it to spin too fast to pedal? The reason I changed my gears. A car like the Viper with high...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    I should have said people that have done it instead of Mags. I guess if you keep on running down the magazine articles it will take away from facts. I am not claiming to have both, I do have both. I said if you could read that I did not understand because my Viper is so much faster as it...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    I should have said that a few Z06s have been in the 10s. I did read after I posted this that Jamie Furman has an ACR that he put in the low 11s first time out & he has not driven a viper in 3 years. He will have it in the 10s next time out. I do own both cars along with others. Sorry I have...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    I would like to believe that, but I know of several runs that are far beneath that number. I know that the Viper can take on a lot more HP than the Z06. This is one reason that mine is stock. I may have to do cam/heads but that will be it. I have a friend that run 12.22 in a stock C5Z06 & yes...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    I ask a simple question. If you do not know the answer then go back in what ever world you live in & let me get some good info. You can get numbers from all kinds of reviews, but I am talking about results from real drivers.

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    Why/how can a stock (engine, tires, everything) Z06 Corvette run a quarter mile in the 10s, and it takes a supercharged Viper to get into the 10s? Why is the Z06 so much quicker in the quarter mile? I know there is a weight difference, gear difference, etc. Why is the stock Z06 so much...

    Yet another insurance thread - with a twist...

    What company are you with? I pay 3k a year with Hagerty (was 4k until a friend that knows someone called) and that is for around 200k stated value on three cars. My viper has 2900 miles in over 2 years. I just called some other company's & they said they could not touch my price even with me...

    Ready to be stoned to death but I hope Dodge is unable to sell the Viper Brand

    If 80% of people could read this this they would blast us. I was thinking of selling my Z06 & was upset of how much I was offered for it. I went to a good friends house today & he has been out of work for several months. He is doing what he can to take care of his family. I am mad that I...

    How to change brake rotors and pads?

    I changed the rotors on my 06 coupe. Simple remove wheels take calipers off remove rotors put new rotors on put calipers back on replace tires. Tools required allen wrench & tire tool. I did not change the pads. Don't buy a tool it takes little pressure to compress the calipers.

    Vibration with base speaker

    Anyone have a problem with using any base in your car? If I have any base the speaker vibrates. It actually does it with the base turned all the way down. Is this normal? I have an 06 Coupe. It has done this since it was new. Thanks

    another speakers replacement question.

    They look great & not too expensive do they sound a lot better than stock?

    Stock exhaust, worth anything?

    Mine are in my shop along with all the other parts that I have replaced. Thought they may be of more value to a future owner if he wanted to change back for some odd reason.
