    What I have learned since owning a Viper

    Wow 6'6", I'm only 6'2" and felt like a doofus so one of the first things I did was lower the seat 2". It improved leg room as well. Funny you say that, I've been asked a few times what the headlight bubble level things are. Congrats on being a new Viper owner J, I got mine earlier this year.

    Salvage title vipers?

    I'd walk too, if a seller can't give you the VIN on an advertised salvage vehicle then something is up. You need to see the registration history to get an idea where the car has been, the mileage history/rollback issues, and anything else you can find out about the car.

    How can I move to Michigan with my Viper?

    Welcome to Michigan. Try the online quote on Hagerty's website. I go through them and I wouldn't insure my Viper any other way.

    Anyone Try the new Armor All Extreme Shield Wax?

    I haven't used their wax but it sounds like it's similar to Meguires gold class clear cloat liquid wax which I use on the daily drivers. It's probably not as good as other waxes on the market but it's super easy to apply/remove in short time. It tends to hold up for about 6 months through our...

    McViper from "Vegas Vacation" for sale

    I remember seeing a Craigslist ad for this car two or three years ago posted in the Lansing MI area. IIRC they were asking 36k for it and claimed to have documentation it was the one used in the movie and it included some autographed memorabilia, signed movie poster etc. It may have been on...

    I mounted my old tires on the garage wall.

    Neat idea!

    After 15 years of being the original owner of a 1996 GTS Viper … Now I join VCA

    CRUIZER, Thanks Man. I think if I was in your shoes and I had room in the stable I'd pick up another nice GTS with some mileage to drive and enjoy and leave this one as is.

    Don't you hate coming out of a store and seeing this?

    Instead of parking in the boonies out front I like to park to the side and away from other cars. I scope out the lot as I pull in. I'll park at the end of the row next to a curb or next to a buggy corral so only one side of the car is at risk. I also look at the elevation, you always want to...

    After 15 years of being the original owner of a 1996 GTS Viper … Now I join VCA

    Thanks Chris! Welcome CRUIZER! Amazing you've had the restraint to put so few miles on the car and that's cool. I put around 370 miles on my '96 the day I bought it and drove it home. When I think of it in that way for me it's like... dang!

    Repainting the hood grille covers

    The factory paint was flaking on mine. I used a screwdriver with a telescopic magnet to catch the screw while I had someone hold a flashlight for me. Also removed the rubber gasket to sand and paint them. I wet sanded with 800 grit and you could go as low as 600 or 400. If you sand with...

    2" Seat lowering kit instructions

    I also bought the Partsrack 2" kit and it only came with the "safety sheet" and note that the taller mounts go to the front and shorter to the rear. I agree, a simple line drawing/diagram on that sheet would have saved me the trial and error figuring out which direction the brackets pointed...

    2012 Hot Rod Power Tour

    Awesome latamud, I saw your car in Champaign. I saw the black and the red RT/10s in Milford and I got a pic of that black GTS I'll post later. Other Vipers I saw was a red with white stripes RT/10 at the Lingenfelter open house and first couple days of the tour. That black Gen3 with the red...

    Hello Motown

    Thanks guys, I'm in the Flint area. Just noticed that wasn't showing in my profile and updated it. I picked up the GTS earlier in the year. Making the meetings and cruise nights is tough with work but I'm going to try to make a couple this year. I really want to go to CEMA but I'll be at...

    AutoCross advice/tips?

    Check and maintain your tire pressures between runs as the tires warm up, pressures will rise. Always check them just before your next run so they are as consistent as they can be. Any air gauge is fine but a Longacre or similar dial gauge is more accurate. Bring a portable air tank or air...

    Hello Motown

    Sweet car! I'm a fan of all black interiors but yours with the red is such a great combo. I'm a new member this year as well.

    1996 B/W GTS factory key?

    I've done some more research and talked with Chuck Tator, (Thank You Chuck!) and here's what I found. From the factory, '96 GTS's came with a pair of key fobs (more angled edges) like the ones in RevHeat's picture, both with very dark grey and black head "sneaky pete" keys. From what I...

    1996 B/W GTS factory key?

    Another question. The black key with the pentastar logo, what logo is on the other side of the key? Is it the Dodge Ram logo on the other side?

    I done seen it all now!!! Suspenders on a car!!!

    I call BS on the 6k custom paint job, that's probably what it cost to fix and while the hood and bumper needed to be repainted he had some stripes thrown on it. The black stripes on the hood do not extend to the trunk but it has red stripes on the black wing. They didn't even wrap the red...

    1996 B/W GTS factory key?

    Thank You very much the help guys! I know what I need to get now! The key fob I have is the same one LifeIsGood has. I didn't realize I had a newer key fob and I'm going to try to find a couple older fobs if I can. I haven't found any that style yet.

    1996 B/W GTS factory key?

    I recently bought a '96 B/W GTS and it came with one key. The key I have is a generic key without the sneaky pete logo and I don't know what the keys that came with the car from the factory look like. I searched the forum best I could and looked online but couldn't find an answer. I found...
