    Need assistance mounting soft-top support bar

    Right, that's what I'm talking about, but the local dealer doesn't really know what to order. I've looked at the schematics with the parts guy behind the counter, and they aren't very clear. The sport bar trim piece is not drawn anywhere near where it connects, so it's not possible to see how...

    Need assistance mounting soft-top support bar

    When I bought my 96 RT, it didn't have the little plastic trim piece that runs along the front size of the "styling bar" behind the seats. I believe this trim piece is also what the softtop plugs in to. I bought a replacement trim piece, but the problem is that I don't know how to properly...

    Nice To The Ford...

    I know this post is over a year old, but I just dug it up while searching for something else and had to respond. I know exactly the car that you're talking about, and it's actually not a bad car. It's a teal 93 Cobra (pretty rare) with a blower. I'm not sure of the power, but it's a decent...

    What I love most about my Viper

    Ok, I bought my Black 96 RT a little over a week ago, and have given my friends numerous rides through the streets of Minneapolis. I love everything about this car so far, but I think the best thing about this car is that I feel like I'm doing everyone ELSE on the road a favor by letting them...

    A couple of questions about my new Viper

    Where are you supposed to put your hands when closing the hood? I just noticed those two switches in front of the shifter this afternoon while driving around. I assume one is foglights, but the other... ? I ordered an owner's manual to go along with my ordered service manual today, so...

    A couple of questions about my new Viper

    Hey everyone! Last night after the great responses to my original post in this forum, I went home and spent some intimate time with my 96 RT. While I did familiarize myself with more of the car, I still have a few questions. 1. The battery. I looked behind the left rear wheel with a...

    Wooooo hoooooo!!!!!! (first Viper!)

    Sorry guys, I left the word "order" out of my K&N comment. Let me try again: My K&N Filter order is already on the way.... etc.. :laugh: 20% discount for VCA members, eh? Time to look into joining the VCA! Does anyone have more information about what the extended warranty...

    Wooooo hoooooo!!!!!! (first Viper!)

    Wow guys, thanks for all the great comments. I'm more than thrilled to have this car. A few more questions for you experts... magicboy, I'll send you out an email this afternoon when I get a chance. As far as mods go, I see "smooth tubes" all the time. Any good pictures of these so I can...

    Wooooo hoooooo!!!!!! (first Viper!)

    Magicboy... I know what you mean about the looks. The first night I had it, I felt like a celebrity! Every time I stopped, people came to talk to me. Every time I drove, people stared with dropped jaws. It's unreal. Pics of the hotties should come in due time, but if you are curious about...

    Wooooo hoooooo!!!!!! (first Viper!)

    That's what I like to hear. The salesman I bought the car from told me "if you can't get chicks with this car, you can't get chicks." :laugh:

    Wooooo hoooooo!!!!!! (first Viper!)

    WOW! Thanks largely to the advice I read from many of you on this board, I came home Tuesday night with my first Viper! I haven't stopped smiling since! I know it probably doesn't compare to some of your vehicles, but I'm only 25, so it's definately in a league above everything I've ever...

    Any generous experts near Pompano Beach, FL?

    I have a huge favor to ask of anyone who knows a thing or two about Vipers and lives near Pompano Beach, Florida. I'm looking at a 96 RT/10, but live in Minneapolis, MN. With no great way to check out the car before buying it, I would feel much more at ease if a third party just took a quick...

    Shopping for my first Viper

    Thanks for the quick replies! I see everyone talking about Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Vipers.... when did they switch? (Told you I'm new to this Viper thing :) ) Is there a pretty big difference between a 95 and a 96? The problem is that I live in Minneapolis, MN. Vipers aren't very common here, at...

    Shopping for my first Viper

    Greetings all! Before I begin, I must tell you all that I am, and always have been a Ford man at heart. However, after recently receiving the cold shoulder twice consecutively from my local Ford dealer after inquiring about a new Cobra (I'm 25, but look about 17), I'm starting to get a little...
