relax, i don't think that will be killing vipers. Perhaps old school vipers but not the new ones. Don't say just incease the boost because i dont think that engine will support more power.

and why would you say that it wouldnt support more power. not saying that it will kill 2nd gen vipers, but the engine and tranny have been seriously upgraded on the internal side. we'll have to see.......

Seems it's a TT so the internal pressure is 6psi and they had to beef up the internals for 6psi? Unless they are planning to release this as stage kits or something 6psi is kinda low in comparison to other turbo cars......not OEM. Like you said we'll see I hope it can support more power I was just commenting based on what was posted.

Hey Rick, that would certainly do the trick... I just wonder if they will release it for the SC430 as Austin (my father-in-law) would probably go for it. So are you contemplating this as a future purchase??

BTW, any chance of you heading to Atlanta Dragway tomorrow nigh, barring rain of course. I'm going up with an employee of mine right after work. Gotta fight the traffic though from my side of town... Or maybe I'll just go back roads to Gainesville and then cut across to 85...

And just how many black gs400 are in MD??? A million! Great, no more fun playing with the Lex guys. I can't think of a car in my reasonable budget that will be able to hang with that. What is the price tag on that guys car. I have a feeling he will be going through tires crazy.

i dont think a six figure salary is the only pre-requisite for that bad boy. trust me, i know. a six figure salary and lots of disposable income..........now thats the recipe. damn student loans hopefully by march or april, ill have all of the ingredients.
