As some of you know from my post a few weeks ago: http://vca2.viperclub.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB21&Number=606034&page=5&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1
I picked up my FE Coupe at Woodhouse and proceeded to put 1200 miles on it over the weekend in the Badlands to break it in. I dropped it back at Woodhouse where the following “improvements” were performed by Mark Jorgenson and his guys.
Paxton S/C 623 RWHP, 564 RWT (Mustang Dyno)
Moton Club Sports
Eibach springs (lowered)
Realignment (more front and rear camber)
Shifter springs stiffened
1-4 shift disabled
I flew back up to Woodhouse and drove it home to South Florida mostly on secondary roads. I can tell you that with these mods the car is totally different. I thought stock power and handling were great, but OMG what an improvement.
Lowered with the new springs and Moton Club Sports I no longer look like a 4X4 but more importantly the ride quality is vastly improved. Additionally, and I don’t know if this is due to the new alignment or the Motons/Eibachs, but the car’s tendancy to “hunt” and follow imperfections in the road surface is significantly diminished.
And the Paxton…all I can say is WOW. The car is calm and sedate under 3K rpm (well, at least as calm and sedate as a Viper can be) but from 4-6K watch out…unbelievable acceleration. I love it.
Anyway, here’s a few pics of my car lowered. Also, notice that the rear trunk area looks like it was designed with small recesses exactly sized for the rear Moton reservoirs.
Thank you Bill Pemberton and thank you Mark Jorgenson!
