    Opinions on potential viper purchase

    Dittos back atchya. We're all just spouting opinions here. First off, your index went from (A) to (2) ..that just offends my sense of organization and now you've lost a serious measure of credibility. Ha! :beer: I don't think there's any reason to pull percentages out of thin air. Only 32K...

    Opinions on potential viper purchase

    "Poser Mods"?? Hooeeyy!! Take it back or... Or.. I dunno who cares.. Those mods take the car closer to 700hp / 600+whp. At 600hp its a supercar. At 600+hp its a supercar with a bit of an attitude ready to pounce. "We assume all Vipers over 5k miles are thrashed".. Total bull, take it...

    Corner Balance

    Very cool timely post. Thanks. I recently noticed my passenger/front was lower than the driver/front (thanks to the QuickJack). So fixed it by adjusting the KW-ACR Coilover, but otherwise I really didn't notice it visually or by feel (behind the wheel..mostly street driving). Realizing that...

    How do I get a feel for a Viper before I commit to buying?

    I really have nothing else to add, other than to say... I bought mine without driving her and have never looked back. After 8 fantastic years I'm still in love with the car. Can't imagine losing her. Feel like I know her inside and out and she's definitely a keeper. Do your research, watch...

    Modern Oils and Fuels Webinar Tonight

    Yea this seems to be a never ending debate. IMH(amateur)O these modern synthetic oils are leagues better than the oils of yesteryear, so I haven't been too worried about the different brands. I've used Mobil1 0W-40, 5W-40 and 15W-50, LiquiMoly MolyGen 5W-40 and RedLine 10W-40. Right now she's...

    Modern Oils and Fuels Webinar Tonight

    In case you missed it, here is a link to a Recording of the Webinar. Modern Oils and Fuels Webinar Is ~2.5 hours long with some pretty interesting moments. There was mention that they believe Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is far-n-away WAY better than Mobil1. :eek: Isn't Pennzoil the recommended...

    High Temp Paint for Side Sills

    I've been thru this. My Viper came from Houston Tx where the roads are nice and flat. It was slammed as low as possible. Scraping on crap SoCal roads made me crazy! Thanks to the KW ACR Coil Overs, raised it up to avoid the scraping. Adding insult to injury, the guys at the Busted Knuckle...

    Clutch issues during longer drives

    Pretty much.. but yeah, be careful not to drain it entirely to prevent introducing any air. Sounds like you got the idea. Bled my clutch this morning. Here's my MightyVac Rig. Old fluid (Motul RBF 700) was ~2yrs/old (1100 miles) and looking a little dark. Flushed till clear via the...

    Clutch issues during longer drives

    Apologies to the OP @zombie.. I thought this thread was all about ME and my trials and tribulations with the clutch and bleeding etc.. Something @Steve M said above that made me review the entire thread. The bit about the "Black fluid" jumped out at me. I HAD THAT HAPPEN! In conjunction with...

    Clutch issues during longer drives

    :1up: Shoulda known.. Another one of your custom creations! I have the SpeediBleed and need a cap like yours to use it with my remote bleeder. I'll see if I can't finagle somethin'. I have gotten good at doing the job with the MightyVac and the remote bleeder, but the SpeediBleed would...

    What did you do to your viper today?

    Tried quoting the QuickJack images from above but found it WAY TOO DIFFICULT. Here's one of mine. Life without my QuickJack would be sad.

    Conti ExtremeContact Sport 2 vs Michelin PS 4S

    FWIW, I've heard the same about the PS4S. Even from the Porsche crowd. They're just a little too soft. I've been driving the Conti's on the Porsche for 3 years and they're great. Love 'em! Won't hesitate to put 'em on the Viper.

    Conti's On Sale 'Till May 31, 2025

    I think it was 275-35-ZR18 / 355-30-ZR19 but can't be sure. Also, that discount price included the Conti credit card offer, which IMO has horrible terms.. no thanks! Better question is "has anybody ever got the ExtremeContact Force tires for the rear"? I check on this tire every couple of...

    Rear Tire option?

    +1 for Continental Extreme Contact Sport 2's ..have 'em on the Porsche and they're fantastic in all conditions. These Conti's are going on the Viper next. Have been running the Nitto Invo's and they've been great for a smooth street ride with plenty of grip off the line and no tram-lining...
