    Shipping your Viper? Do not use NAAT or Werner!

    NAAT was one of the recommended transport companies from this site. They sub-contracted the job to Werner Trans, and the outcome has been very poor. Here's the story: My 94 Viper was purchased by Bryan Pickeral in Maryland. Since I live in Illinois, Bryan and I searched thru this website to...

    Selling my 94 RT/10

    I'll likely be going overseas for a couple years, so I'd rather sell the Viper as opposed to storing it. I'll be sad to see it go. I've had the car for 6 years, and it's been a blast the whole time. Posted in the VCA classifieds: http://classifieds.viperclub.org/showproduct.php?product=278&cat=24

    Good paint shop in western suburbs?

    While removing my soft top, it slipped out of my hands and put a nice, deep scratch on my sport bar. Any suggestions as to where I can get this fixed? I live in Yorkville (west of Naperville), so I'd prefer someplace in the western suburbs.

    Anyone know what\'s up with Cytech Double-Park??? Can't access their website, and no one answers their phone. Are they still in business? I'm getting ready to purchase a lift, and Cytech was #1 on my list.

    Yellow/black SRT owner in the Chicago area???

    Is there someone in the Chicago area (Yorkville specifically) that won a yellow/black 2005 SRT? My next door neighbor Bob had his older Mopar sitting out in his driveway a couple days ago (I think it's a convertible Road Runner - rare car). A gentleman stopped by and talked to Bob about...

    After 3 years, I'm still in love!

    After 3 years, I\'m still in love! Just thought I would share my experience with my Gen 1 beast. After 17,000 miles of abuse (28,000 now on the odometer), I still love this car. First day I bought the car, I drove it 500 miles home through the rain. Over the next 3 months, I piled on 5000...

    Need a good body shop in Chicago

    Have a nice, deep scratch in the sport bar from the *&^%$ soft top latches. I was given one recommendation, but that body shop told me they would prefer to remove the sport bar instead of masking. Doesn't sound like these guys do much work on Vipers since Chuck Tator informed me I'd have to...

    Any "Viper friendly" emissions centers in Chicago?

    Any \"Viper friendly\" emissions centers in Chicago? Just got my notification to take the Viper in and get emissions certified. Does anyone have suggestions on which center to take it to? I've heard there are some in the western suburbs that are friendly to exotic cars. I don't want some 18...

    Everyone make it home safely from VOI?

    No problems on the way back from us. Car ran great all the way to VOI and back to Chicago, and at a couple legs of the trip we averaged 29mpg! We even made a little side trip on Sunday to watch the F1 race in Indy. Excellent event, and we look forward to driving to the next VOI.

    Help! Potential clutch problem.

    Pulled the car out of the garage last night and drove 10 minutes away to the store. After 20 minutes in the store, I came back out to start the Viper and noticed about 1 1/2 inches of play in the clutch pedal before I could feel it disengage. As I put the car in reverse and started to let the...

    Drag race the RT with or without hard top?

    VOI will be the first time I take the RT to a drag strip. Will track regulations force me to run with my hard top on? If I'm not forced to run w/the hard top, would it be better anyway? The hard top and windows add probably 40 - 50 lbs, but I'm sure provide better aerodynamics. Seeing as how...

    Low idle and stalling problem

    My 94 is stalling and cutting out when I slow down for stop lights. I found an old "Stump the gurus" post related to this: http://vca1.viperclub.org/ubb/Forum20/HTML/000022.html#2 After the car warms up, the idle appears to be low (under 500 rpms). Prior to warming up, it idles just above...

    Intermittant headlights...what's going on?

    Intermittant headlights...what\'s going on? Driving back from out of town, all my lights would temporarily go out (headlights, running lights, fog lights). After about 1 minute, they would all come back on. This happened several times. I know because I was following a friend of mine who was...

    Another title question from a potential owner....

    I'm contemplating the purchase of a 94 RT so I ran a CarFax. The title was clean, but man was there a bunch of title issues. I'm talking 13 of them! I've spoken to the current owner and the dealer he got it from. The dealer said that, depending on the state and title slip, a new title could...
