    Opinions on potential viper purchase

    Dittos back atchya. We're all just spouting opinions here. First off, your index went from (A) to (2) ..that just offends my sense of organization and now you've lost a serious measure of credibility. Ha! :beer: I don't think there's any reason to pull percentages out of thin air. Only 32K...

    Opinions on potential viper purchase

    "Poser Mods"?? Hooeeyy!! Take it back or... Or.. I dunno who cares.. Those mods take the car closer to 700hp / 600+whp. At 600hp its a supercar. At 600+hp its a supercar with a bit of an attitude ready to pounce. "We assume all Vipers over 5k miles are thrashed".. Total bull, take it...

    Corner Balance

    Very cool timely post. Thanks. I recently noticed my passenger/front was lower than the driver/front (thanks to the QuickJack). So fixed it by adjusting the KW-ACR Coilover, but otherwise I really didn't notice it visually or by feel (behind the wheel..mostly street driving). Realizing that...

    How do I get a feel for a Viper before I commit to buying?

    I really have nothing else to add, other than to say... I bought mine without driving her and have never looked back. After 8 fantastic years I'm still in love with the car. Can't imagine losing her. Feel like I know her inside and out and she's definitely a keeper. Do your research, watch...

    Modern Oils and Fuels Webinar Tonight

    Yea this seems to be a never ending debate. IMH(amateur)O these modern synthetic oils are leagues better than the oils of yesteryear, so I haven't been too worried about the different brands. I've used Mobil1 0W-40, 5W-40 and 15W-50, LiquiMoly MolyGen 5W-40 and RedLine 10W-40. Right now she's...

    In case you missed it, here is a link to a Recording of the Webinar. Modern Oils and Fuels Webinar Is ~2.5 hours long with some pretty interesting moments. There was mention that they believe Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is far-n-away WAY better than Mobil1. :eek: Isn't Pennzoil the recommended...

    High Temp Paint for Side Sills

    I've been thru this. My Viper came from Houston Tx where the roads are nice and flat. It was slammed as low as possible. Scraping on crap SoCal roads made me crazy! Thanks to the KW ACR Coil Overs, raised it up to avoid the scraping. Adding insult to injury, the guys at the Busted Knuckle...

    Clutch issues during longer drives

    Pretty much.. but yeah, be careful not to drain it entirely to prevent introducing any air. Sounds like you got the idea. Bled my clutch this morning. Here's my MightyVac Rig. Old fluid (Motul RBF 700) was ~2yrs/old (1100 miles) and looking a little dark. Flushed till clear via the...

    Clutch issues during longer drives

    Apologies to the OP @zombie.. I thought this thread was all about ME and my trials and tribulations with the clutch and bleeding etc.. Something @Steve M said above that made me review the entire thread. The bit about the "Black fluid" jumped out at me. I HAD THAT HAPPEN! In conjunction with...
