    Let's start the talking... where and what VOI 12!

    CHARLOTTE, NC The speedway has a roadcourse inside and the premier drag strip across the street. No shortage of hotels or resturants. Weather is perfect and plenty of attractions. Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned. In fact, many that visit end up relocating to the area.

    What does your forum name mean?

    Actually a dual meaning. I once flatlined for 21 seconds while in the hospital for a minor procedure. I woke up just prior to them wacking me with the paddles. That would have sucked!!! No real reason and no negative lasting effects. Also meaning the kids are through college and I'm back into...

    Looking for compact 12VDC on-board air compressor

    Dave, check with the company Air Lift. I have their air bags with an onboard compressor for the rear suspension on my Dodge truck. The unit is very small and will pump up to 100 psi. It also comes with the remote gauge, switch and deflater button. It fits easily in the small well area under my...

    swaying as u brake.

    When I bought my 2002 FE, It was a scary thing to brake while going over 65mph. My two prevoius Vipers never gave me that feeling. After a four wheel alignment by Tom Sessions the car was solid as a rock. The stock alignment was horrible. Adding Eibach springs made a wonderful improvement also...

    Sounds like a head gasket but...

    Tom, Tom, John B and Tater all hit it on the head. Timing cover. My '97 did it also. Please consider replacing the bearings and inspect the cam and lifters. When mine happened, all of the previous parts were junk. Coolant will kill the bearings in a heartbeat. The oil cooler also had to be...

    Grill 57 cruise-ins

    Randy, you must be getting soft in your old age. I've seen you tough it out at VIR when it was so hot, chubby guys like me were stealing ice from strangers cooler just to keep from passing out. Currently looking for an '06 coupe so we can start attending these events again. Keep them going. Tell...

    Myrtle Beach Gathering

    Dang it Steve. You guys are really putting the pressure on me. I might need to steal an '06 soon. What's this thing next to your name about an '08 coupe. Did you step up to a new car and didn't tell me? If so, let me kmow, I'll be skidding into your parking lot sooner then you know! Dwight

    Vipers at the Biltmore! August 22-23!

    I know! I know! Been busy at trying to stay busy. You hit it right on the head Steve! A '06 Blue/White is exactly what I'm looking for. I've found several, but a couple of more financial things to knock out, and I'm going to pull the trigger. Hope your doing well and I'll definitely stop by...

    Vipers at the Biltmore! August 22-23!

    Hey John, keep up the good work! As soon as I find the right '06 coupe, I'll be participating in these outings again. Good to see the NC/SC chapter growing! Man I miss it!! Dwight

    Have to say THANK YOU

    Wow!!! What a trip to see my baby in Germany. Glad you like it Markus. I'm so sorry about the damage caused during shipping. This site makes the world so small. I hope it treats you as well as it did me! Thanks for the pictures. Happy motoring. Dwight

    FREE DYNO DAYS!!!! (and more!)

    Thanks for hosting the open house Steve. I'm really not going to the "Dark Side", just can't figure out how to get a Viper motor into this kit car. It was kinda tough hanging around Vipers on the dyno, but I have to finish this project before I get my next Viper. Good meeting everyone. Thanks to...

    How can I get MY Viper in the VIPER MAGAZINE?

    I like this idea a lot. This would be a really cool addition for Fall edition. Make this one happen.

    Alans 2 Core > Fluidyne radiator?

    Your comment about the Ron Davis radiator caught my eye. I have installed a Ron Davis radiator in all three Vipers I've owned and had no problems with heat reduction. The problem I have had is that you can smell coolant after each car came up to temp., but absolutely no leaks at all. I've heard...

    A lot of Vipers, a Dragon's Tail and Hooters

    Jon is right! He did e-mail me about this event, but I've had training seminars for the past two weeks. I'll be there if I can make it happen. It sounds like a blast. Keep this info at the top of the board and I believe the turn out will be great. Dwight

    How to power shift?

    The old Muncie and T-10 transmissions in the early Camaros and Chevelles would stand up to shifting the gears while holding the throttle to the floor and forcefully yank the shifter into the next gear. You still needed to use the clutch, but never lifted the throttle. By shifting the Viper trans...

    How to power shift?

    My suggestion is to avoid banging gears in the Viper. The old Muncie and Saganaw T-10 transmissions were able to handle the abuse to the shift forks. The Viper trans, as strong as it is, does not like to be banged between gears. I was told to shift the tranny as though the shifter was made of...
