    Gen 1 Sale Items

    It's very frustrating to post items for sale, get responses that say you are interested and definitely want the item and then never hearing anything again from the interested party after I have responded back to them with an email address and asking for an address and Zip Code to calculate...

    CalChrome Wheels Finally Got Back

    I packaged up 2 stock rear Gen 1 wheels back around 12/1 and shipped them off to CalChrome. Took longer than I anticipated and I had to call twice to get an acknowledgement they were even in the production stage of being chromed and finally received post chroming pictures for my inspection. Once...

    Is this the most shine I'll get with clearcoated 5 spokes?

    Posted this on RT/10 forum also but maybe it's better here. Just bought a real nice, clean set of 17" 5 spoke stock aluminum wheels I've been wanting for 2 years from another member. They are rash free and very clean with the caps. I excitedly tried some Mothers Aluminum polish on one of them...

    Porsche Carrera GT V10

    Just happened to catch Jay Leno last night test driving a Carrera GT at Talledega on HDTV. V10, 605 hp. I can't remember any head to heads against a Viper but this car was fast. Anyone know of any comparison tests? Maybe this was an old show but that car was sweet. Big difference in price...

    Old Forums Page

    Are we ever going to get the "new" old look back to the forums section? I read a while ago it's a big job to make the new changes but figured by now it would be resolved. Really enjoyed when opening the forums when it listed all the new posts. Is the webmaster still working on this or is what we...

    Head Gasket Party last Sunday 4/17

    Haven't had a chance to sit down until now and relate one of the most fun hands on "tech trainings" I've experienced in a long time. The headgasket issues of Gen 1's had me a little nervous about trusting the car on any long trips. My 94 just turned 20000 miles. I finally took the plunge and...

    The Old Girl Still Can Hold Her Own

    Had a little fun out on 29 early yesterday evening. My son has a 5.0 Stang with a supercharger and Nitrous. He reluctantly didn't squirt any in our rolling 15 mph start but I got him good. Side by side with me slightly ahead until I hit 3rd and then I was gone. He's got 4.11 rear, automatic, and...

    Friday Laughs

    My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started........:lmao: Guess he should've got her a Gen 1 Viper. After retiring, I...

    June 19th Summit Point Hyperfest

    Received this from Summit Point. Anyone done this before? "Drive your car on our track at top speed"? :drive: Sounds very tempting. I might go to this just to see what it's all about. Can't believe for 40 bucks they've got a long enough stretch to hit 150+. Anyone else interested? Don’t miss...

    Finally a Member of VCA

    I just want to take a couple of minutes to introduce myself to the Va/Md club members. This region has been very cordial and accommodating to my wife and I by letting us participate in Club events without being members. I appreciated that. The western Md Fall cruise was a lot of fun. Most Vipers...

    Mystery oil leak has been solved...

    I grabbed my head mechanic on his lunch hour and took him to my house. He got under the car and looked around and thought he found the source in the power steering hose area. I got in and started the car and turned the wheel all the way to the stopper. Needless to say he got sprayed. Looks like...

    Mystery Oil leak,,,any suggestions?

    Went out for about 15 minutes this afternoon and the car started to smell funny. Noticed smoke coming from under the hood. Was close to home and hurried back in to garage. There was a trail of drips and when I opened the hood some smoke was coming from underneath. I got under the car the best I...

    Another question for the guys committed to detail and personalizing your Vipers. I am looking for either the chrome or brushed aluminum dash gauge bezel rings. There are 6 of them as most of you know. I called Viper Specialty to inquire about them for early Gen 1's since the ones they show only...

    Jet Fuel Question

    Was at the small airport in the county today test flying on a demo flight and noticed they had 100 octane low lead (100 ll) at 3.60 a gallon. I'm wondering what harm, if any, I would do to a stock 94 RT/10 if I mixed 50/50 or ran a full tank through it? :dunno:I also asked the guy if I could run...

    ReChroming Gen I rear wheels

    Greetings Viper fanatics. Does anyone know or have you used a reputable vendor that will rechrome wheels? I know it costs big bucks and a lot of places won't do it due to the labor involved removing the old chrome. My rear Gen I 3 spoke wheels are just starting to peel in one spot and I would...
