No...not the big ugly pushrod dodge.


I'm talking about viper security systems. I have a 791xv Security System sitting unopened in a box upstairs. Anyone have experience with these? Any known problems with using one on a Z?

Thanks much!

You think a viper is ugly? What's wrong with you?

I havent personally, but keep us posted on how it works out. Since you have a 6MT, there is some kind of special bypass that you will need and from what I hear most shops wont even install on. They something about liability from people starting up their car while it is still in gear. A lot of shops have been sued for putting it in. I know they have systems out there especially for manuals, so if I were you I would look into that. I would be nervous everytime I go to auto start my car...

Okay, I checked my viper alarm its the 791 xv. It's on my 90 300zx TT. I don't have the remote start hooked up, 5spd MT. I use it because it has a turbo timer. The remote eats 1AAA battery every, so keep a couple spare in your console. Have it professionally installed, no problems. If you don't have turbo or an auto, you may have more alarm than you need, but nonetheless a good choice.

the viper is definetly ugly, but in a beautiful way...

sorta like the A 10 thunderbolt

definetly not a classically asethetically pleasing car IMO...that would be more like a aston or a jag xk...but the viper is great looking nonethless IMO...to most people hehe



as for hte alarm, its rather square, so not relaly pleasing to look at either

yes it will work fine on your car, the turbo timer is just a timer that keeps the car running when iyou turn it off, not relaly useful...you can also do a RS on a manual, youneed a bypass lock out module so it wont start when you are in gear

if my car is on semi level ground i leave it in neutral anyways. Just using the ebrake, So i wouldnt have a problem using the auto start most of the time. ive been looking into a system for my car as well.

k thanks for all the feedback. I wouldn't have the remote start hooked up anyway, so no worries there.

As for the Viper business...you can either be a Viper guy or a Vette guy. I know where I stand.
