This Ramair Package also included the stunning-look CF ITCP console on LHS. Checked with HKS through my tuner and said that may not fit the HKS ITCP.

On highway, you don't want to risk you life as well to push even 70% of your Viper as those drivers are all unprofessional !!

I saw a C6 cruising slowly sometimes close to my office area and honestly I don't think the driver enjoyed that.
Steve, Im aware of the road conditions in China. Drove my wife's car around shanghai, and to Hangzhou. The new freeway that they built is real nice and smooth.. But you are right, some of the roads in the urban areas, and small towns are horrible.. I guess one would have to just stay away from those areas period..
Im not a big street racer.. I just like to cruise around, and punch it here and there when no one else is around. Not to mention myself being in the late 30s. I mean real late 30's. Your like ,whatever...
The traffic jam in Shanghai isnt too bad. Ive seen worse in L.A.

Man, but Ill tell you. People would flip out. If they saw someone driving a Viper in downtown Shanghai...

The highway between Shanghai and Hangzhou has been widen last year and the whole project would be finished by this April. I have tried that at year end when I drove my jeep to bring my wife's family back to their home town and it was really enjoyable!! But driving anything above 200km could still be a challenge due to the unprofessional drivers everywhere.

Yeh I am late 30's as well. I am not a street racer either (though no one agrees) but we don't have the luxury of fooling around when the traffic flow is low as China is really fxxking full of people everywhere!!!

Looks good. Did you have to remove your under body plastics to install the CUSCO under body struct bar?

Someone else has the Gruppe M/Colt Speed intake installed with the ARC intercooler pipe kit, so I don't see why it wouldn't fit the HKS. Sounds like bad info to me. The HKS piping isn't THAT much bigger than stock, I have the piping.

i noticed that, on the interior pieces and the mirror and grille pieces, it just looks like plastic with a weave pattern. i wonder why ralliart would do that...

No, since I have not picked the full set of under bars.

I don't know either but thats what my tuner told me. Anyway, HKS is cheaper and its mushroom filter can suck in much more air than the cone one so it should be more performing at high-end, which we all want from our EVO.
