    Owner of the 2001 Dodge Concept Viper GTS-R

    Unfortunately I haven't really got any contacts myself. I have met Roy Sjoberg and Herb Helbig in the past, but I believe they are both retired at this point and I'm not sure I have any current information for them. I think Herb was dealing with some of the collector stuff at one point as he...

    SCCA Sunday

    Autocross is one of those things that I don't think it matters what kind of car you drive, it's just fun. Depending on the course it might not be the fastest thing out there, but it's fun throwing a car around all over the place.

    2016 ACR Wiper blades

    Last time I looked RockAuto showed one other different brand available, but I have my doubts as to whether they would fit or not. I bought one set for my gen 3 years ago and kept the old set to experiment with the next time I need them.

    Gen 3 to 4 oil pickup/pan conversion

    Check with Prefix. I got my gen 4 conversion setup from them during my last engine rebuild. They can do the mod (basically just welding the front of a gen 3 tube to the back of a gen 4 pickup) and they supplied me all the parts as well.

    Looking for honest answers regarding Gen III & IV Parts Availability

    I think the Viper is starting to inch closer to "classic car" kind of territory where people are starting to make replacement aftermarket parts, but ultimately it's still a low volume car, so the market is always going to be small. Like Dan mentioned though, there are several companies out...

    New Four Eyes Video

    Did he do anything with the heads? His gen 2 is making around the same power my gen 3 is making with a cam, so seemed like a pretty stout setup for just a cam swap. Unless it's just a dyno to dyno kind of thing.

    mopar race exhaust on a gen 4?

    Wish I would have seen this before I went through all the stuff with my exhaust, lol. Mostly just because I had no idea the race mufflers were so long until I tried putting them in. I started cutting up my cats to convert them to 3" to try to quiet the car down just a hair and work on some of...

    mopar race exhaust on a gen 4?

    Really? I have the rear O2s on my setup, but that's full M&M headers into a Mopar race muffler set. The collectors have anti-foulers welded in (I didn't realize they were actually anti-foulers at first, just thought they were a **** until I looked closer. Maybe with factory manifolds you...

    What software for Oem ECU Remap?

    Doesn't the SCT Flash tuner work on a gen 2, or is the 98/99 a weirdo? I forget the exact name of their software, but it's something like Racer III. The tuners themselves aren't too expensive, maybe a couple hundred, but the software package is up there a bit. I toyed with the idea of getting...

    Is the suspension supposed to be this 'uneasy'?

    Yeah, -1.7 on the front is pretty aggressive in my book. I run around -2 on the track with street tires, so you wouldn't be that far off. Average street driving I'd probably keep it around -1, sporty driving maybe as high as -1.5, but you'll go through tires faster than you need to. My 04 is...

    not a secure site

    The tough part here is that being a "member" of this site really has nothing to do with being a member of the club. It's free to join the forums and engage in conversation here. It's entirely possible for someone to get banned and create a new account and do it all over again, so banning...

    From what Material is the floor section made on a GTS Gen 2?

    If it's anything like the gen 3 I would suspect it's likely steel. I had an "offroad incident" in my car many years ago that put a pretty good dent into the bottom of my passenger side seat pan. I don't think it's aluminum because I'm pretty sure it's actually welded to the frame rails, though...

    Dodge 8.0 Differences?

    This is all super interesting, thanks for sharing! Always novel to see just how much really changed between the two to help put that argument to bed about the Viper having a truck engine.

    not a secure site

    Really sorry to hear that. As others have said, this site in particular isn't necessarily restricted to just club members. It's an open forum for anyone interested in Vipers. Club memberships are handled totally separately through a different website and system. They used to be managed...

    Wheel Center Cap

    It will never be exactly the same, but you can polish up those aluminum ones to make them a lot shinier. I had some wheels redone a while back and didn't think to remove the center caps before I sent them off. I got lucky that they actually came back with the wheels, but was extra surprised...

    Is the suspension supposed to be this 'uneasy'?

    Maybe it's just me, but it also kind of feels like a bad idea to have mismatched front and rear struts. Seems like you could have some imbalance issues there. I know the stock suspension has been accused of being "undersprung and overdamped". My stock setup felt a little loose as well before...

    T56 rebuild?

    I think a T56 is a plenty stout unit, but a lot of that comes down to the tune and how it's driven. There was a local guy here that made 1100 hp to the tires on a stock T56 in his gen 2 for years with no issues, but he knew not to do clutch dumps and other silly stuff like that which would be...

    Child/Car seat recommendations?

    Thanks for the clarification! I didn't realize they removed that for gen 4. Good to know!

    Child/Car seat recommendations?

    If you have a gen 3 or 4 you can turn the airbag off through a switch in the center console under the armrest. I don't have any kids myself, but I know the passenger seat is also set up with LATCH connections for car seats, so I think it's actually pretty easy to get one in the car. There...

    Need tire help! And how bad are old tires….

    Agreed. It's an unpopular opinion around here, but the most important thing is just understanding what you have and driving to it. I bought some takeoffs from another local owner (not directly from them, but from the guy that took them off their car). They were older, but still had plenty of...

    2005 SRT10 battery

    I've run whatever Walmart carries in my 04 for quite a while now. Like others have said though, I keep mine on a tender if I go without driving it for more than a week or so at a time. Generally it sees pretty regular use for the commute though, so I think mine tends to get more cycles than...

    Tire Pressure Sensor recommendation

    The DRB IIIs are getting old enough that they pop up on Ebay and other places from time to time. When shops or dealerships close down they'll auction off equipment a lot of times, which is how several likely ended up on the market. I got mine off of Ebay because I plan to keep my car for a...

    DRB III

    Depends what all you want to do with it. The standard OBDII style cable that should do the vast majority of work on later model cars is the CH7000A one. The plain CH7000 still works, but I believe they highly recommend the A model if you plan to do any flashing. For just diagnostics and...

    quickjack suitability

    I bought a BL-5000SLX from Costco many years ago when I had to do my first engine removal and rebuild. I should have bought one years before that, it's really nice to have. It is a bit of a pain to use on my Viper, but I've also lowered mine a bit and it might be just enough to be an issue. I...

    Oil Temps

    I have read in the past that the Mopar coolant is just rebranded/redyed Zerex G05. Whether that is true or not I can't say, but I did put G05 back in my car after a rebuild. It's more of a gold color out of the bottle, but I was doing a full system fill, so it didn't matter as much. I've been...
