    High Octane Fuels (101, 105+) in a Viper?!?

    Since I have some detonation problems on hard acceleration, that no mechanic can pinpoint, higher than 91 octane definitely improves my performance. I understand most stock Vipers would not notice any improvement with higher octane. I often mix in some racing gas just to bring up the octane a...

    Gen I Auto Door Opener?

    Simple and cheap addition. You can do it yourself. Believe me, if I did it, you can too. The illustrated upgrades show all. Costs less than $50.

    Warranty expires at end of the month. '94RT/10. I understand no more dealer warranties are issued at this cars age. 18K miles on car. I'm bringing in the car to have the dealer check it out. Hood springs sag, hood doesn't always stay up. Covered? A/C doesn't blow cold anyway. If it's the...

    Viper vs. GMC Denali SUV -- DENALI WON!!!!!

    What lousy luck. The car looked beautiful. And will again soon. Your car still looks better than my stock RT/10! Manny, still try to make to San Diego run. If the car's drivable. Go part-way only? or just come down in the wife's car for a chat. San Diego Greg W

    doors on a 92-5 RT

    My '94 came with a trunk button on the key fob. I used this for the passenger side remote, along with a button under the dash. It's all in the illustrated upgrades. My key fob may have been replaced with a Gen II at some point, since I was the third owner, I'm not sure what's stock.

    Possibly Buying a '94 - need help

    Re: Possibly Buying a \'94 - need help Paid about that for my '94 with 8,700 miles. It had the dreaded head gasket replace before purchased. (about $2,200 if I paid) New tires a must. Rubber is old, poor grip. I got into some pretty big problems before the new tires.

    DETONATION ?

    Marc wrote me this response, which is probably very good info. I should try the colder plugs also, especially if the below fix is inadequate: "Greg, I would bet anything that your detonation is caused by carbon buildup on your pistons. This carbon buildup causes hot spots that glow red and...
