    I must be dreaming...

    The Viper never ceases to amaze me. Back on Sept. 9-11, the local Gateway Viper Club participated in the "Monster Mopar Weekend" held at Gateway International Raceway just east of St. Louis (thanks Dave!). I had previously put my bone stock '00 RT/10 (original Pilots) on road courses, but had...

    Would this be insane? *rhetorical question*

    Would this be insane? *I realize this is a rhetorical question* As I read about people questioning if there may be hidden NOS systems on some fast Vipers & other cars, I'm reminded of why I don't care for power adders in general. Please understand, this is just a personal opinion and I do...

It was unclear what category the car fit best, so I entered it into Special Interest Cars (it just didn't seem...

    No rear window key with RT/10

    I bought a 2000 RT/10 from a local Dodge dealer. There was no rear window key that I could find. The dealer wasn't sure what to do either--they ordered the blank, but told me I'd have to leave the car with them and that they'd have a locksmith make one. The dealer is pretty far away and...

    best & worst things about being a new Viper owner

    I've had my 2000 RT/10 for a little over a month now (my first Viper experience). Here are ten observations... 1. Hands-down the best car I've ever driven. Period. 2. I've become so anal about this car! I've never been this way before. Am I the only one who has gone thru about 3000 rags...

    180° thermostats & cooling Vipers

    As a new Viper owner, I thought I'd try to share some information that I have on cooling systems. I haven't had the chance yet to "play" with my 2000 RT/10 yet, but I have some general tips based on a lot of data. As far as "the" optimal engine operating engine temperature, there are...
