    Viper Days question

    If you have a few track days in a high performance car (Porsche or Vette), then you might be comfortable doing the Intermediate class and having your wife do the beginning class. If this is your first track day each, then I would strongly recommend one of you doing this one, and the other going...

    Partsrack 3 inch in/out Metal Honeycomb Substrate Cats - Anyone using?

    I had mine welded in, though you could bolt them, presumably. I didn't get them emmissions tested due to where I live, but you can't smell any sort of fumes or anything. Dyno testing will be done in March - they feel a bit more peppy but that could just be the cold winter air. They are...

    $1537 repair and only 17K miles on my '94

    Re: $1537 repair and only 17K miles on my \'94 The labor for this seems a bit high, you're getting charged, what, $900 or so for labor? Maybe 10 hours? In my garage I can get a wheel, rotor, and caliper off of the car in less than an hour, and figure an hour for everything back on and...

    Wing for '01 RT-10

    Re: Wing for \'01 RT-10 I have an Autoform RS wing on my car, and I'm very happy with the fit, finish, and quality of their product. I'd recommend them without reservation. Once you decide on a wing, give JonB at the PartsRack a call - ha carries Autoform and Mopar wings and he generally can...

    Another driving school question

    I would strongly recommend Viper Days, since the instruction will be specifically geared towards Vipers and you'll be able to meet other Viper enthusiasts at the same time.

    hydrogen fuel cells coming soon

    Many fuel cells would still use some sort of fossil fuel (Natural Gas is a popular option) instead of pure hydrogen. It pollutes some but is still very clean. The thing about internal combustion is that it is not an especially efficient way to extract energy from fuel. Most of it gets wasted...

    Donated window stickers.

    Jack, I beg your pardon? Some club members are asking why we should give you for free copies of our window stickers so that you can sell them to other Viper owners, and you're calling <u>us</u> A-holes? And the Corvette guys would be lining up to help you with your business? Fine then, go...

    Rave: Randomtech Metal Cats from PartsRack

    Autoform GTR wing installed - finally! (pics)

    JonB at the Parts Rack carries all of the Autoform wings, or you can order them from Autoform directly. One particularly nice option is to receive it painted, with stripes - saves alot of hassle. My shop charged me 8.5 hours for installation, though Autoform says that they can put on in in...

    Autoform GTR wing installed - finally! (pics)

    Currently, I have the wing set neutral so as to not provide much if any downforce. Because of the way the car is set up, oversteer is more of a problem, so I'm going to take it to the track and see at what point the wing balances out the loose in the car. Once that's done, I'll look at adding...

    Rave: Randomtech Metal Cats from PartsRack

    As I was having my Autoform wing installed (see GTS, RT/10 Discussions) I also had the RandomTech high-end metallic substrate cats installed. I ordered these from JonB at Partsrack and they arrived two days later. I went with the more expensive Metallic cats rather than the ceramic ones...

    Autoform GTR wing installed - finally! (pics)

    After dithering around for several weeks, I went ahead and had a body shop install my new Autoform wing. The wing is now on and looks great (in my admittedly biased opinion), and I can't wait to get out to the track and start dialing in the adjustment on it. This wing is the same as comes on...

    (I need help) 5 Pt Harnesses Questions

    I'd also recommend talking to JonB at PartsRack - he carries the TeamTech harnesses. I much prefer them to the Simpson harnesses that I were previously installed in the car. One big advantage to the Teamtechs is that they have some excellent Viper-specific installation instructions. The...

    Who sells this wing?

    I compromised on the Autoform GTR wing - it is similar to this except the forward edge is concave instead of straight. The wing is around $2K as I recall and the workmanship is excellent - it also came painted to match my Silver/Blue car, and the match is pretty much perfect. The wing is being...

    Newbie - Buying a Viper

    I expect that if you did a search you would find a large number of different opinions, but here is my opinion: 1. Buy the lowest miles most recent car that you can. For $45-$55K, that will probably mean a '97 to '99 car. Dodge made incremental improvements to the car each year, but all of...

    Help! Insurance company says totaled Viper $42,830

    The other place to get values is the VCA classifieds. Make sure to make the point that Blue/White is a limited color, and start showing actual values. Most of the cars on the classifieds for '97 seem to be going for 46-50K.

    Wing installation instructions/pictures

    I recently received an Autoform RS wing, and am getting ready to install it. However, the instructions are a bit thin, and I was hoping that someone might have step-by-step instructions of some sort, along with hopefully pictures? Also, any advice for setup of this adjustable wing would be...

    New Hennessy Web Site?

    I'm a little disappointed that the Moderators have decided to X-out the name of the forum that the original post came up on. Are we not supposed to look at any other forum, even if they're not "Official"? C'mon, guys - loosen up.

    New Hennessy Web Site?

    I thought that Hennessy would not be able to convince anyone in the Viper community to buy even a spark plug from him, but I noticed that there is a new site: http://www.hennesseyperformance.com On the ************* forum John (or someone claiming to be him) is saying that he is back in...
