Good to see you back Andy. I hope the forum admins will come around and give you back your old account.

Kumar, how much was doing a full paint job instead of the wrap?

I haven't checked.

Im guessing a place like Stuarts would want ~$12k.

C6's are easy to paint. Everything but the rockers unbolts, so I would say 8K give or take.

Unfortunately, Paxton's don't do a whole lot for gen III's, except look good on dynos. There are plenty of 650-700rwhp Gen III's here and all they can do is run side by side against Z06's with intake/tune...an h/c Z06 would pull from them. Weight and gearing are a b7tch.

Sad, but true.

There is always someone faster though...always.


WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE

$8k is exactly what mine was, but GM paid for it.

that is usually the case when they know they have a plate that will instigate trouble and they know for a fact that they cant hold it down on a good old speed contest....

Thats weak too LOL. It's just in fun you win some you lose some. I used to have VIPR ETR on my Formula that ran mid 10's which was woopin on the vipers in my area, until Jason Heffner started to tune them LOL. I got destroyed by every Viper in town after that but we always had fun with it.

Default Fast and very fast

In my opinion, it doesn't matter who is faster......there is always going to someone out there who is faster. We all have fast cars, some a little faster. Both cars are awesome

As a data point, my '03 Gen-III Viper ran 134 MPH in the 1/4 with just a intercooled Paxton and 3.33 rear gears. Stock exhaust, stock cats, etc etc. At the time, a S/C gen III was a really hot package.

That said, it wasn't discernibly faster than my new ZR1, and the ZR has much better midrange torque (and brakes, and handling, and interior, and ...). What a difference 6 years can make!

I ued to care about the "who is faster" stuff, but it's just a check writing competition.

Beautiful Viper, though.

Not to mention with the higher HP mods overwhelming traction and causing the owner to douchebag himself right into a wall or a tree, now that's a cool feeling. There is always someone faster. Heck on the street, you can have a slower car driven at WOT appear faster than other truly faster cars driven more conservatively. Plus, the idea of someone in car #2 hitting and killing someone and the attorneys come after you for provoking him and convicting you for invol. manslaughter or related charge.
