    Let's start the talking... where and what VOI 12!

    There are a number of factors that weigh in when a VOI location is chosen, often led by where Dodge wanted to be. With the VCA now taking the lead, one of our key considerations is cost. Indy during the 500 week would most likely pose too many challenges, not the least of which is cost. Throw...

    2006 ASC McLaren Viper

    Many of the body panels were almost all one-off carbon fiber. I believe it started out life as one of the early blue/white First Editions and was then built up from there. Interesting to also note that the intake is a GTS/R Lemans intake that was supposed have been loaned for the show only...

    Venom Status?

    As Paul correctly predicted - done. These are manually updated (for now) but that will be changing in the near future. Speaking of 99%, I may not have my glasses on but I am 99.99% certain that isn't a 1996 B/W GTS in your avatar... :D

    Viper on "Ultimate Factories" Thursday, Feb. 17

    They shot most of the plant footage in June and were filming at the same time the VCA and Motor Trend were getting their footage. The VCA then extended an invitation to come to VOI 11 in early October where some of the other footage was shot. We had planned more VCA interviews in SLC but many...

    Have to buy another motor, any sugestions

    I suspect Arrow's price could also be for a brand new Gen III crate engine with all the accessories on it (A/C compressor, etc.)...

    Painting emblems on SRT-10

    You will find that most authorized Mopar dealers treat VCA members very fairly: Woodhouse, Tomball, etc. As these are Mopar parts that is probably your best bet for the best prices.

    Painting emblems on SRT-10

    Certain colors are more expensive from Mopar, such as black. And different years came with different colors. Example: The black 2003 SRT-10 came with black side badging. MSRP: $172 each for the SRT-10 side badges (note the dash between SRT and 10, which was later dropped) - dealer cost is...

    Why Can't I post

    We would be delighted! In looking over the Illustrated Upgrades it doesn't appear that there is a tutorial for that. Also, VIPER magazine is going to start featuring a "DIY" section for those folks that like to wrench on their own cars. We may be contacting some of you guys from time to time...

    Why no Yahoo/Gmail Email Address allowed

    Remember that the two systems are completely separate: The membership database will accept any email address as it is not used for posting, etc. The forum database is the one that is picky due to spam. Around four weeks ago the reCaptcha image verification system was hacked/broken. Numerous...

    GEN II - Replacing the Fascia Panel Retainers with Body Bolts

    Done and done. Thanks for the EXCELLENT post! Maybe we should leave our Gen III with you for the rest of the winter so you can do some how-to's on that generation too... :2tu:

    Why Can't I post

    And generally speaking, the mods will copy them to the Illustrated Upgrades, but if you are the original author and want to update that thread simply add it to your "public" post and notify a moderator - they can then copy the new post to the Illustrated Upgrades thread as well.

    Kumho Ecsta XS

    That is actually the stock size for the rear tires on all 1992-1998 Vipers. The later Gen 2 Vipers (GTS included) are 335/30-18 for the rear (1999-2002). Good to know that they are getting those out there as there are already some great deals on the Kumho XS for the Gen 3/4's. Thanks for the...

    New Viper owner? Time to join the VCA!

    Typically the new year registration packets (both new members and renewals) start to go out in early March, often depending on the suppliers for the annual renewal gifts. We are a little ahead of schedule this year and you should see the packets going out in the next week to ten days. They...

    2005 SRT10 Convertable Sold for 54K

    I agree, that $54K was probably $10K too low for a yellow '05. :D

    2010 production numbers out?

    Cracked Fog Lamp Lens

    The challenge here is that the OP is looking for an actual "ridgeless" lens, not a clear cover. The latter is cheap and readily available. 3M and several other manufacturers sell the optically clear self-adhesive materials and you need only cut and apply them. Others sell full kits for the...

    Vipair Hood Paint Ideas. Opinions Needed!!

    If you use the same paint scheme (black center), it won't be over the top at all. Indeed, when painting it and doing the sides of center bump it will actually make it look a little less aggressive. Why? While the height is one thing, the hard edges of the Gen IV vs. the curves of the Gen III...

    Headlights fogging up

    And not to get too far off track (too late!), our '03 had actual water in the taillight - not just fog: It looked like an aquarium at times and was replaced under warranty. Both our '03 and '05 headlights fogged up ('05 still does), especially after a wash. Clears up within a few minutes...

    Headlights fogging up

    Toddy, Toddy, Toddy - we thought you knew your Vipers? Most people know that a turkey baster works best for filling it, especially during the holidays. As to where to find the level, here is a hint:
