      That’s one of the reasons I ultimately went with a Gen4. A number of people had suggested getting the swing arm if getting a Gen3 for that exact reason. Definitely don’t want to start that engine in a big sweeping turn…

      I never payed attention to this (Before a collectible Viper blow up his engine) but in left turns on GEN 3 Vipers the oil pressure drops 30-40psi very easily. Using 12qt Mobil 0W40 .

      No need for racing tires just on PS2 with 0.70g, one can blow his engine on a highway exit. 🙁

      No matter how much G I put on the Viper the pressure will drop from 60psi to 20psi but will also recover in 3-4 seconds.

      Fortunately I am a cotious driver so mostly I don’t rev my engine above 3000rpm in high G turns.
      Interestingly in right turns there is no problem.

      How many of you did install the swing arm ?
