    Gen 1 Dash Repaint In Grey?

    Has anyone stipped and redone their Gen 1 dash in grey to match the seats and left the gauge surrounds and radio surround black. I realize painting it all black is the most common and easiest way to go since you can paint the dash and the gauge and radio surrounds all the same color without...

    Prefilling Oil Filter

    I have seen several posts where someone said they prefilled the oil filter before installing it. What is supposed to be the point of this? I have always oiled the gasket and called it good. I asked someone who worked at an oil change shop and they said they generally prefill filters on...

    96 GTS Wheel Balance Issue

    I have a vibration in the left front of my 96 GTS that begins at about 65 and gets progressively worse as speed increases. I had the front wheels balanced, and this actually seemed to make the vibration a litttle worse. I took it back and they said the wheel/tire is spot on on the spin...

    Drag Racing Tires

    I posted this on VA and got lots of views but not much feedback. I am currently running 335 35-17 Hoosier DOT drag radials that are 25.9" in diameter and have run a best time just under 12 seconds at 120 MPH in 3rd gear. In third I sometimes hit the rev limiter and sometimes do not. I...

    94 Starting Issue

    My 94 RT/10 cranks up fine in the garage first time every time. After driving it a while, when I shut it off, the starter will not crank. Idiot lights on dash go on, and fuel pump whirs, but no crank no click no nothing. If I retry it a few times (like 10 or 12) it restarts. I had Viper Tech...

    1996 Indy 500 Video

    Anyone know of a source to get a copy of the 1996 Indy 500 on video or DVD? Indy Museum Gift shop says they have last year and highlights of 50's and 60's. They have no source for 1996. Anyone out there with a VHS copy?

    96 Gts Vin 200012

    I bought this 96 GTS from Jeff Detweiler in Farmington Hills, MI last July. Car was built May 20. 1996, and delivered to Bloomfield Dodge. Jon B and Maurice Liang have a list of Chrysler executives and VCA members who got the first GTS cars and for some reason this serial number is missing...

    Somebody Has To Know Something About This Car

    I own GTS #12 and obtained the original Michigan title number from Carfax. I went to the State of Michigan and they told me they did not have records that far back and even if they did, they would be protected under the privacy act. This is the same with maintenance records from Dodge. They will...

    Code Reader Question

    When using a code reader that indicates a problem with engine bank 1 or engine bank 2, is the driver side bank 1 or bank 2 on a Viper. I believe this is determined by the location of the #1 cylinder. Is bank 1 and the location of the #1 cylinder the same side on all V engine cars, or can this...

    Anyone up for some cool weather, under the lights, nighttime 1/4 mile drag racing Wednesday, March 25th at Gainesville Raceway? This is about 10 days after the Gatornationals, so the track will most likely be brought 100% up to snuff for that. $25 to race. Track opens at 6:30 PM. Racing...

    96 GTS Driver Side Hood Vent - GTS Blue

    Anyone got one of these lying around in pristine condition already painted GTS blue? Mine has a minor imperfection from one of the nuts being overly tightened. Not so bad to consider buying one and having it repainted but if someone has one already in the right color...... I know, I know. I...

    96 GTS Pics After Last Week's Wet Sand and Detail

    My camera and photographic skills do not do justice to the detailer's work. He smoothed out a lot of 13 year old factory paint flaws I never would have noticed if he hadn't pointed them out. Paint is much more reflective and glass-like. Even a chamois drying clearcoat over the years leaves a...

    96 GTS Hood Pad Grounding Straps

    Does anyone have two of these? These are the braided wire straps that run from the hood pad to the hood hinge bolts on both sides to ground the hood pad. I ordered a new hood pad from Dodge and these did not come with it. I think they were supposed to come with the hood pad as they are not...

    Does anyone have one of the metal caps that screws on the fuel pressure testing valve on the fuel rail on a GTS or know a source? Not available from the dealer and it is slightly larger than a standard tire valve cap. If you have one PM me. Thanks! Don

    I am trying to get a reproduction window sticker made for my 96 GTS.

    96 GTS Adjustable Seat Lowering Kit

    I bought a 96 GTS and it has a seat lowering kit on the driver's seat. I am just over 6 feet, don't have a problem with headroom, and Idon't like the seat that low. Does anyone have a stock seat setup they want to trade for the lowered one? It is adjustable, works great, looks to be made of...

    96 GTS Wheel Center Caps

    I bought a 96 B/W GTS and sent it in to the body shop to have the fascia repainted due to scrapes on the bottom. (I know, it is a waste of time and money.) The prior owner had painted the "Sneaky Pete" emblems in the center of the wheel caps blue to match the body, and I asked the body shop if...

    Reproduction Window Stickers

    Quite a while back, PattiMelt was working on developing reproduction windows stickers for Vipers older than the ones VCA could reproduce. Does anyone know what happened with this project? I tried to e-mail her and did not get a response. Did anyone here ever get one from her? I know VCA was...

    3.55 Gear Question

    Does changing the 3.07 to a 3.55 eliminate some of the driveline slap (clunk) inherent in Gen I Vipers.

    Hood Paint Bumps 94 RT/10

    I have about 15 pin head sized bumps that have formed on the hood of my 94 RT/10 just to the left of the driver sider "speaker". What causes these and can they be wet sanded or will that only make the situation worse? If stripping and repainting the hood is the only option, what is a...
