    Damn....Got bit!

    Hey Bro'! We (wife and I) are headed to Honolulu the week of April 17th...it would be GREAT to see a Viper there! I only wish it were possible to take our '97 B/W over with us...it would make our tour MUCH more fun! Congrats Bro'! Mike:drive:

    Holy hood gap

    If I were betting, I would bet that the hood is not completely closed. My '97 looks just like this when the final latch is not latched. I would say that they need to completely close the hood before they take pics...This is easy to do, as I almost left a car show like this once, talking, etc...

    Would you trade your Viper and cash for a Ford GT?

    Not me. I realize that the GT is most likely one of the best vehicles ford has ever built, but to me (my opinion) they are one of the ugliest vehicles ever made. They do nothing for me, with the exception of making my GTS look perfect in my eyes. Mike:drive:

    Do vanity plates invite vandalism?

    ON my '97, I have the same tag I used to run on my Vette...:omg: BUt I do get quite a few comments on it, but nothing negative, only smiles and laughs. Even MOST cops smile when they see it. It is simple, it says: CLOCKME Mike:drive:

    Viper motorcycle

    That bike was built by Tony Reynolds, and is a true work of art. It is a gorgeous machine, and I can only imagine how she runs with the Viper engine. I have owned 2 Boss Hoss V8 bikes, and ride mine almost everyday as a daily ride. Mine is only 385 HP, and it is one of the smoothest, most...

    About to realize 15 year dream!

    Welcome Jim...it's great to hear from someone as wise as you and yours! It sounds like you two have your lives and plans together, and that is wonderful! I had a promise to myself also...when my home was paid for, I planned on a Viper. Now that the kids are grown, the house is mine...so is my...

    Bad Temp Sensor?

    1" socket, and I got my new sensor from Auto Zone. I think it was in the $25.00 range. Easy fix, and I put teflon tape around the threads when I reinstalled. Works fine now. Mike

    Not Cats? Rear O2 sensors?

    You will have to see what yours does..my 97 GTS throws a code after 1000 miles or so, ever since I removed the cats, resonators and muffler. I am running 2 short glasspack mufflers instead. I know many 97's do not, but mine does, and has ever since I changed the exhaust. I simply plug in my...

    Temperature Gauge Pegged Out While Cold?

    Thanks for the reply...yes, the coolant bottle is full, and it seems to be circulating. The engine actually seemed to be on the cool side when I was driving it. But even after it has been parked for several hours now (5 hours at least), the gauge still pegs out past 250 as soon as the key is in...

    Temperature Gauge Pegged Out While Cold?

    Hey Everyone, On my '97 GTS, something happened that has never happened before today. The wife and I were out, and I happened to notice the temp gauge was pegged out past the 250 red mark. I pulled over immediately, and checked everything out...nothing out of the ordinary at all. There was no...

    Anyone In The Daytona Area?

    Hey all, I have had a '97 blue/white for about 2 years now, and the wife and I are going to take it on its first "trip" next month. We are planning on driving the Viper to Daytona Beach for a week beginning on June 17. I was just wondering if anyone from the forum was from the area. It would be...
