    Dyno Advice

    Where and when is this event going to be held? Is it only open to VCA members or can I bring my ZR1 down for a dyno run? What's the cost?

    Do I need any special tools to install brake pads?

    Can't you use a C-clamp to compress the piston back into the caliper, or are Viper calipers somehow different than most cars???

    Plate holder

    I've been making a copy of a plate application, with a copy of the check, for the past two years on my ZR1. The police haven't been able to ticket me because I have applied for the front plate. Since I run personalized plates and it takes awhile to make a replacement plate, I can run all summer...

    I do believe I'm gonna have to switch gears....

    Re: I do believe I\'m gonna have to switch gears.... I have a '93 ZR1 (#116) and when I took a '97 GTS for a spin, I thought the same thing. This however has not stopped me from looking for my first Viper!

    Anyone know this 2000 GTS on EBay?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6209&item=2405948535&rd=1 Anyone know the condition and how bad of a wreck it was in? The price seems pretty descent for a 2000. How much damage to the front of a Viper would cause an insurance company to total the...

    97 GTS test drive thoughts

    Thanks MES for the seat features info. I guess I should have looked closer. Also, you could be right about the rough idle due to the '97's cam. The car did pull hard to 80MPH, just not as hard as I was expecting (come to think about it, I was expecting alot more pull from my ZR-1 as well). I...

    97 GTS test drive thoughts

    Thanks guys for the "positive" comments! As far as the "negatives", I was not intending the post to be a slam on Vipers by any means! It was simply my observations from "one" 30 minute drive in a Viper GTS. I realize this Viper was not an average example from the Viper community! I was just...

    97 GTS test drive thoughts

    Finally had a chance to drive a GTS (have been reading this site for about 6 months)! Took out a '97 blue/white with 30K miles that was for sale at a local dealer. The car was in pretty bad shape (curb rashed wheels, front spoiler scraped up, interior weatherstriping ripped, drivers door...

    Re: Finally Opened up the GTS and here\'s what i found How does the ZR-1 compare? Are both the ZR1 and Viper stock?

    Viper rwhp

    Thanks for all the replies! It sounds like the Viper should give the SOTP feel I'm looking for. The ZR1 is a nice car, but it still is lacking in the acceleration category. Maybe a gear change would be in order for the Viper as well. From what I have read, this seems like a good upgrade for...
