    Viper as Daily Driver?

    I used to drive my 2003 daily now I drive my 2005 daily, even in the rain. I used to own a ZO6... it's not quite as easy to live with as that but well worth the little additional effort.

    brake bite

    Theo, did you use standard bedding procedure? It doesn't take 60 miles to bed brake pads. It's possible your problem is not properly bedding them in.

    brake bite

    The trade-off for less brake dust and squeal that EBC provides is less "bite". You can't have it both ways. If it's just street use they should do fine. If you want more bite use Brakeman 3. They are still easy on the rotors. If you track it much, PFC also.

    Brake fluid Question

    If you change the brake fluid in the reservoir you must also bleed the fluid at each wheel (till clear) otherwise you still have the old fluid in the lines and calipers. Old fluid has a lower boiling point and your brakes will fade more easily.

    Viper & Prowler?

    I have one of these (Panoz Roadster). Not as good looking as a Prowler but all aluminum (2,400lbs) and with a mustang cobra engine, it really scoots. Handles quite well too. Only 235 made... production ended in 2000 model, I believe. I liked the Prowler but wanted more power. They actually...

    Windbaffle Anyone

    I think the cockpit is relatively calm compared to other convertibles I have owned. Any less wind and I think it would get too hot.

    Fun with a Lambo (PICS)

    The side profile of the Gallardo makes it look like a doorstop IMO.

    Viper Build Quality

    My '03 and now my '05 are both very good. I agree it's even better than the GT although I was lucky there too.

    Current Colors Available

    I saw a yellow with silver stripes at Woodhouse's place when I picked up my Copperhead. I was surprised by how good it looked... I believe Bill said there were only a couple made so it may be the rarest color combo of all!

    Picked up a new...

    Thanks everyone. After I sold the '03, I really didn't think I'd be back in another SRT but I couldn't think of another vert to buy. The only other verts I would consider are either the F430 and the Gallardo Spyder versions, and we all know how much they cost. I have pics of my GT in my...

    Oil Debate Mileage vs Longevity

    Oil should be changed annually, even if the car is not driven. I don't recall the details but there are contaminants and breakdown that occurs even without the engine running.

    Picked up a new...

    Copperhead! I sold my 2003 SRT last Fall... just got tired of it. Subsequently I bought a Ford GT but that's not a daily driver. I was itching to get another convertible and after seeing the Copperhead (in photos only, mind you) my decision was easy. The car is stunning! My wife couldn't...

    Price for a copperhead

    $69K? Really? $20K below sticker? New in wrappers? Can I have some of those drugs please.

    The Ultimate Airbox

    It looks good and makes a lot of sense. How are you planning to "try it out" Jack? At the dragstrip, comparing it to the stock airbox? A dyno test would be good if you used fans or forced air somehow into the duct with hood closed that would simulate driving.

    Viper Days

    I have read on this forum that Skip has helped in some situations where insurance claims were involved. If you're worried about it, I would tell Courtney to not POST your times. Having said that, I cannot think of a safer venue to track your car in. Everyone is watching out for their cars and...

    Cooling system upgrade, your advise?

    I think I'll get a bottle of your coolant additive for the coming race season Tom. Is there a promotional code I should know about? ;)
