I guess you are speaking for yourself on this one

My next toy is the viper GTS, and that time is approaching very soon

Yep, I'd trade in my Smokin FD for a Viper anyday!

Running on FULL exhaust; midpipe, downpipe and exhaust.

Your lack of steam could be, inpart, due to the midpipe. I've read several times that a majority of the condensation accumulates in the catalytic converter(s).

Not I...although it is a nice machine i would pick my FD over a viper. With the amount of $$ you spend on a viper you can have a FD thats faster and reliable. Plus i think the FD looks better.

I guess I should be happy and grateful.

Even after my past "experience" that I posted and got flamed for in the past.

Even on cold start, my FD doesn't even smoke 1/100 as much, or as thick, and NEVER smokes after re-starts if it's still warm.

Dave that was some crazy thick smoke in your video.

Is/was your coolant seals toast at that point, or wha?

What was the condition of your FD during that vid?
