    '96 GTS - need windshield and driver side windshield wiper motor

    Have a long crack in the windshield on driver side (I know this might be impossible to find) and driver side wiper motor. Got caught in a rain storm and the wipers got tangled so had to drive home without them. It is the driver side motor that has failed. Thanks for any help.

    SRT ACR on I405 Thursday - who was it

    I was quite surprised to see a red and black ACR with a big wing going north on I 405 Thursday afternoon. I pulled up beside him but didn't recognize him - older gentleman who kind of reminded me of the guy with the yellow GTS that got high-centered at Tom P. 's house a few years ago. He got off...

    Annoying dash rattle fixed!

    This rattle from the center of the dash was driving me crazy so I took the car ('06 FE coupe) in to the local Chrysler dealer (no Viper tech but an excellent service dept. and good rapport with the service folks). The tech had never worked on a Viper before but found the problem and fixed it ...

    Lynnwood Dodge has 2 '08s on order

    I just came from Lynnwood Dodge (oil change and a couple of warranty issues). Tom gave me copies of the order on the 2 '08s that they have coming that will be for sale when they arrive (or before). One is a solid blue coupe and the other is a venom red (no stripes) convertible. Both have RB1...

    Problem getting into 3rd gear on the drag strip

    I have done a bit of drag racing but not a lot (my '96 GTS with just intake and exhaust mods). Last week I ran a 12.18 at 116mph with no problems. My reaction time was .212 so I could have gotten below 12.0 with a better hole shot. I went to the strip again last night and made 3 passes. I could...

    Last test & tune at Pacific Raceway drag strip today

    I'm going down there after work today to get a few passes in. I went last Wednesday and there weren't many cars there so I got a few passes in. My best was 12.18 then I got too aggressive trying to improve and ended up with too much wheel spin on launch and 2nd. Come down if you can.:drive...

    My Vipers have competition for attention

    I took a short drive today in my newly acquired '66 Pontiac GTO and was amazed at the attention it attracted. A young guy in a big lifted pickup stopped beside me and said "What a beautiful car you have". Two blocks down the road a middle aged man yelled out "Your car is awesome". It has all...

    Sure is quiet here!

    Is everyone dead? I just installed the reflashed - reflashed engine controller in my SRT/10 coupe. Hopefully I will have gained more power & torque than the first reflash. I'll put a few miles on it and re-dyno.:drive: I had Cam install a roll bar in my '96 GTS and now the front splitter...

    Viper breaks 200mph in one mile shootout!

    I just looked at the results of the Nevada Open Road Challenge from last week. Hugh Hoard made 3 passes in the standing mile at 170, 200 and 202mph. with his '97 Viper (I assume a GTS). Does anyone know him and how his car is set up? Given that the event takes place at 6,000 ft elevation he must...

    Tinking about trading my FE GTS for an '08 coupe

    I'm just thinking at this point in time. My FE GTS has about 4,000 miles on it and I hardly ever drive it. It's not that I don't like it - I love it. It is parked in my garage such that I have to move two cars to get it out. It is totally stock so the exhaust sound doesn't excite me (my wife...

    It's open test and tune tomorrow at Pacific Raceway and the weather is supposed to be good. I am planning to go down and get a few practice runs in and would like some company. Anyone?? :drive: :drive: :drive: Bob K P.S. It would be a good warm-up for the dyno day on Saturday.

    Anyone up for drag racing this Saturday?

    Pacific Raceway is having an open test and tune day Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM. I think I'm going to go. It would be fun to have some other Vipers there also. Let's hear from you so we can set up a time, meeting place, etc. Bob K

    Got my reflashed controller back from DC Performance

    Installed the reflashed controller Friday along with a 170 degree thermostat. The only mods on my SRTC are K&N intake and Mopar race exhaust. The weather here has been too crapy to drive much but the first thing I noticed was a tremendous increase in the popping and burbling of the exhaust...

    Anyone else have a bad battery in their '06 Coupe?

    Anyone else have a bad battery in their \'06 Coupe? My battery is dead and I can't even jump start it to get the car running. The thing is only a little over a year old. I had to jump start it last month also (it worked that time). Any suggestions? Bob K

    Has anyone participated in any of the land speed record events?

    I just watched the movie "The World's Fastest Indian" and got a little excited about trying one of these events. Has anyone here done it before and if so, where. Please share your experience. I have done the Silver State Classic before in the 150 mph class but the tech speed for that is only...

    Just returned from the Silver State Classic!

    The event this year was more exciting than the last one I attended. There were more newer high performance cars making for a much more interesting car show (for me anyway). There were dozens of Corvettes (possibly 10 new Z06's), 3 Ford GT's, 9 or 10 Vipers, 3 Ferarris including an F40, 1 Lambo...

    Pilot Sport Cups - Are there left and right tires?

    I just had a new set of Cups put on and noticed that the tread design on all 4 is identical. This means that the inner half of the tire has grooves that angle back on the right side of the car but angle forward on the left side. To me that doesn't seem right. I checked the old set that were...

    How many Vipers doing the Silver State Classic?

    I just received my confirmation packet for this event. I will be running in the 150 mph class with my son as navigator (over my wife's objection). Two others from Washington state are also running - one in the 130 class and one in the 110 class. I am also doing the 1 mile shoot out and the...

    Apology to redlightrich from Bob K

    I made a terrble mistake on another post and slammed Rich for stiffing me on a dash plaque deal. It was not Rich who stiffed me, it was someone else. I unfortunately based my post on my memory and some jumbled notes from several months ago. Both were wrong!! I can't express how badly I feel...

    Windshield wiper blade flies off!!

    I would have to say that my biggest issue with the new coupe is the location of the windshield wiper lever. It is so close to the steering wheel that I often inadvertantly turn on the wipers when making a left hand turn. I'd hate to think how many times it would happen if I had driving gloves...

    Dyno results on my '96 GTS

    Dyno results on my \'96 GTS I just returned from the dyno function and am very pleased (and surprised) with the results on my '96 GTS. It has 21,000 miles, K&N filters, Henne$$ey carbon fiber air box, SVP headers, no cats and old style Borla cat back. It pulled 467.4 rwhp and 507.5 rwtq...

    Baseline dyno results on the '06 SRTC

    Baseline dyno results on the \'06 SRTC I joined the Ferrari Club for their dyno day today so that I could get a baseline on my new coupe. There were some amazing cars there including an F40, new F430, 3 Lambos and many other Ferraris. Of course they made me wait until last since I was not a...
