Sick pic of the Vipe.. Buddy of mine just got a 08 Lime green with grey strips.. I should be detailing it for him pretty soon.

Also let me know if you ever need any detailing done let me know. I own my own company and seem like you might be in MD/DC area.

Appreciate the compliments guys...we've put about 2500 miles on it so far and its been awesome. I still can't get over how much better this thing is with the BlackBear tune, particularly the throttle response and trans shifts.
Thanks homie

Did you go local or get an AutoCal for the bb tune?

Got lucky and got Justin when he was out here in DC last month...apparently with the new TCM, it has to be local, or like twice the money for the AutoCal tune

new TCM? What year is your esky?
I think 07+ have the TCM and ECM. As opposed to the 06- which have a PCM.

So two DC guys with Tricoated White Diamonds ... well played sir.
Say, what size tires you have on those 24s?
Thanks Serge...I'm actually up in Maryland, but met him near DC. I've stalked all your old threads when I thought I might get a Denali instead.
The tires are 305/35R24....you thinking of changing up, again?

Correct

You never know.
But I wanted to make sure there's no rub, especially on the front of the power assist steps, with a tire that size.

It's a 2006. GTS Blue was offered starting in 06 on the coupes and Verts. Send me a PM with any questions you have about models/costs/ownership etc....there are some compromises you have to deal with in a Viper, but the ownership experience is absolutely amazing - while I'm a diehard GM guy and had 2 Vette's , I just can't see myself back in a Vette while the Vipers are around!

Nope, they seem to be fine. If you get closer to sitting directly on the fence, we'll get hooked up for a ride. I promise they ride smoother than you might think they do

Ah I see I thought he meant they changed it half way through the NNBS years like an 09+ or somethin... kinda like how they changed the MAF sensor location for CAI's in 09.

Mine rubbed at full lock with the 305/35/24 on my old 08 Tahoe Serge... might be different offsets though as I'm not sure what OP's offset is.
Yeah mine did too on the HyHoe with 295/35/24s.
But I'm no worried about the liner, I'm worried about the power assist steps ... that's why I wanted to make sure from someone who has those on their truck and that size tire. I believe the Marcellino 24s also have the standard 30 offset.

Nice I am up in Maryland as well, what part? You have to come out to cars and coffee in Hunt Valley on sats. I am usually there with my buddy and his 08 Lime green Viper and another buddy with Supercharged SRT8 charger and another friend with his SRT8 Jeep.

I live in Odenton. I usually hit up Katie's out in NoVa or Maple Lawn instead of Saturday mornings. I've been meaning to make it out there, just haven't yet. I met your buddy with the green Paxton'd Viper....did he get it running right? I know he was having issues a few months ago

Haha, Actually he is another guy we have seen at Cars and Coffee and talked to him and also I think he is selling it as well. But I think that is a older style not a 08 since 08 was the first year they did the Lime green. My buddy actually has a coupe with grey strips.
This is both of them
