    Trade your GTS for a C5 coupe?

    Sounds like a typical Vette guy! The Viper community is better off without him.

    Cops keeping taking my damn money :(

    Put some gray rinse in your hair like Clinton did. Mine went gray ten years ago, and cops almost never bother me now. ;)

    Re: do they make Kumhos for 99 - 2002? Just don't run into the curb!!!!!! Gotta have Kumhos!

    2006 SRT-10 Coupe Purchase Poll - Part Deux

    Viper X nailed it in his comprehensive list. I'd just reiterate the main problem: not enough HP. Can't DC learn from the Corvette Z-06 intro in 01 that raising HP the next year just pizzes the krappola out of those who sprung for the new model? (That's what DC is hinting about doing.) Put...

    Today I let the Viper name down....

    An S2000 is a very lightweight car. If it really had in excess of 300 WHP, it would probably run in the twelves, maybe even elevens. That's going to take a perfect launch to beat with an SRT (in the first eighth mile, anyway...) Get some Kumhos.

    Kumhos or drag radials ??

    Kumho V700s on all four. Best of both worlds (straight line traction and cornering). Just don't drive much in the rain...

    They're Everywhere

    Re: They\'re Everywhere Why not get a nice Gen II (RT or GTS) and have Heffner twin-turbo it! That'd be different, attract lots of attention, and smoke anything on the road. Just a thought, one near and dear to my own inner demons...;)

    RPS or Fidanza aluminum flywheel?

    Love my Fidanza! Nice thing too is that if the contact area gets warped from heat/use/abuse, it's replaceable. Not sure about RPS.

    Seat lowering kit-1 inch; can you help?

    You probably don't need front washers - and I'm not sure they're possible for the one-inch kit. I have the two-inch kit and no washers - very happy!

    The best club.

    I couldn't believe the difference between the Vette club and Viper club! Really shocking as in two years of Vette ownership, all I ever really saw were lazy cruises at the speed limit, requests for more donations to the Vette museum (this bunch of geezers and comb-overs sent every spare dollar...

    Best place/price to get Pilot Sports (NO JON B !! grrrrrrrrr)

    Some of us may be taking Jon B a bit too seriously. Once you recognize the context for dealing with Jon B., the whole thing comes into focus! It's just a little "free theater" to go along with your order! Seriously, Jon B has done a lot for viper owners and I think it's worth putting up...

    What should I expect with my Viper?

    Bought my 98 in Jan 04 with 16K miles on it. It now has 21K and only failures were AC seals at compressor (replaced) and the clutch slave cylinder - replaced clutch while at it and a new lightweight flywheel (the one in there was aftermarket and warped). I've done a lot of other...

    Brakeman pads

    I think I got mine from Nancy Shanno at Woodhouse. Great pads!

    What a difference!! The brake calipers from Tom rock!!

    I had mine put on at Meineke, along with all new SS lines, slotted rotors, Brakeman 3 pads and the whole thing bled in under three hours...

    What a difference!! The brake calipers from Tom rock!!

    Yes, they do. This was one of the first things I did to my Viper last spring - and it's been the best modification, too.

    WORTHLESS Viper gas gauge

    My 98 does the same thing... I've never put more than 14 gallons in the snake. I don't worry about it too much, as I like to keep it half full or more, just to keep from getting low or risk any sediment getting drawn in the filter. (Don't really know if that helps of not, but it seems logical)

    Viper Hard Top

    The selection of a hard top for Gen 1 and 2 Vipers should be made in light of its intended use. If you plan to road race (most tracks require a hard top - Viper Days does, for instance) you need to get a top that is going to stay on the car at speed. The trunk top is not designed for high...

    How confident are you in your Valentine 1?

    ^^ Bingo! ^^^ I look at them as help against "nuisance" tickets, you know, the one's where they sit and wait around town to nail you for 36 in a 25, 44 in a 35, etc. Those, and I-state travel when there's a pack moving at 75-80 and you need to watch your rear if you're at the back. I'd never...

    Replacing mid speaker (above glovebox) RT/10

    I can confirm that it does little good to put a sub in that little compartment... I put a 6.5 inch Rockford Fosgate woofer in there, replaced the amp in the trunk with a bigger Alpine, the head unit with a newer Alpine, and put Boston Accoustic pros in the doors. More than a grand later, it...

    Viper Newbie and loving it!!!

    Congrats! You'll never be able to re-enter the Vette world again. Somehow, pledging a tenth of your income to that mausoleum in Kentucky will seem lame to you now...

    Suggestions about this Viper, and getting the best deal!?

    Lot of dough for that car, imo. There's no shortage of SRT-10's out there - I'd hang out for the nicest one I could find. Bu
