Re: Got a new car
What are the Team HORT brothers going to do now? I don't see too many junkyards full of viper parts? lol
Nice viper, bring that thing to the dyno day for sure, cheap easy way to get a baseline!

There are a few decent sized viper junk yards in Wisconsin  Being there or not will most likely depend on where I am for work the week before. It can change quickly.

LOL, I figured you already knew where they were.
Well hope to see the car soon even if you don't make the dyno day.

Re: Got a new car
His doesn't have the forged internals but mine does  We have to line them up soon. Initial feel is that mine is faster but it just may seem that way as one of my rear tires is crappy and the car goes sideways in second. I just need to get time to swap my other tires on the car.
turbo1gtalon - you still going to be running the 16g this year or are you going bigger?

Re: Got a new car
Wow, that's quite an upgrade from the DSM's! I still love Vipers, instant torque, sex appeal in spades, especially the GTS. I wouldn't worry much about depreciation either, you stole that thing.

That is what I was thinking. They fall in price like every other car, but there there aren't as many around so prices have still been decent. I see people still trying to get just under 30k for their 16 year old 93 vipers. I think the one I bought will hold its value pretty well for a while.

Re: Got a new car
Brownman's old setup last summer was faster than my evo I thought? I think we test and compared one night, close but I think he was pulling on me slightly.

Re: Got a new car
lol, you guys are hilarious.
I'm not on any horse. I should be there late tonight. I am supposed to get link back today so as long as I do the talon will be there.
I didn't know i was getting called out by the sweet vipers, plus like I said i rolled an '05 back when i had the B16G on less boost.
I would never deny a good race, its all in good fun.

Hey, I have the first race against the new car
His s/b faster but we will see. Mine feels more powerful but that is just as mine gets a little squirly in the first couple of gears while his takes off.
Didn't really get these cars to be race cars or anything. Just wanted something that was fun, something I liked the look of, and something that had a little power. Satisfied so far.
