    Buying and selling a new elise(but could be a viper)

    The dealer doesn't seem to want to work with me, which is understandable. I should be in the first batch that arrives at that dealer supposedly at the beginning of next month. They have "over 200" people on the list. Rumours are that the allocation is about 10 a month. But I have heard rumours...

    Is there a speed rating on the Viper RT/10 top ??

    Re: Is there a speed rating on the Viper RT Roof ?? Hello, I have cruised at 150-165 with the hard top for 30-40 minutes without any problems many times, although duct(k) tape was covering the leading edge to the windshield, ensuring no air could travel underneath. Make sure the rear two...

    weight savings

    I have a question, why isn't there a titanium exhaust for the viper? It would reduce the weight by a lot(40-60lbs?)(cubic inch of titanium is about 40% lighter). I realize it is more expensive. I believe the z06 has a titanium exhaust which saves a lot of weight. Given that material costs are...

    RT/10 Stolen from Garage!!!

    Hello, thanks for all the support! It's been gone for a few weeks, so I think that there is very little chance of it being recovered. Given how it was taken(ie 3rd floor down of a locked garage) it was probably done professionally, can't imagine how else they would have found it. The hardtop...

    RT/10 Stolen from Garage!!!

    Hello, Usually lurk on here, but thought I would throw this one out to the viper community. I was away for a few weeks, came back yesterday, looked in the parking garage, and noticed my 1998 Red rt/10 was missing. That was not a good "welcome" home present. Even worse, I was defending my first...

    Re: tapping into the Viper\'s computer Hello, I use this one here. Writing some custom software to log performance data on Linux. OBD is ok, but it does have problems if you are collecting a lot of data. http://www.obd-2.com/

    Communication Devices for Helmets Question

    Hello, I used the chatterbox, also commonly used for motorcycles. It works just great, but it is wired. I just shoved the junction box into the glove box, could also have attached it to myself. Installation in the helmet took about 2 minutes with velcro and stickies. I used them so for...

    I'd appreciate Tips for the Silver State 90 mile race

    Re: I\'d appreciate Tips for the Silver State 90 mile race Hello, the best way to do this, is to drive the course (backward) on the way to ELY. You can set all your waypoints if you are using a GPS. If you are not using a GPS, you can still note down the random mileposts etc, on the way. if...

    5 pt harness for 98 rt/10

    Hello, I need to get a 5 point harness for my 98 rt/10. I found a bunch on the web, and even read the install instructions on the viperclub.org site, although those were for a Gen 1 car. I was wondering what belts/sizes are used in the 98, how the are mounted and if there are any installation...
