    2000 Vipers are no creampuffs

    Smackie Chan; Your comments on 01' performance interested me. I had a Silver 98' RT-/10, and I now own a new 01' Yellow RT/10. For me, the 01' feels like the stronger Viper, and is much less "jerky" around town. I changed the rear-end gears on my 98' to Mopar .355's and it really helped the...

    Chattering noise after hard braking on my 01' RT. Normal?

    Re: Chattering noise after hard braking on my 01\' RT. Normal? Viper Wizard; Thanks for responding. My question isn't so much about "pedal pulse" as it is about the "Chattering" after a complete, hard stop. When I begin to accelerate after my test stop, that's when the loud chattering...

    Chattering noise after hard braking on my 01' RT. Normal?

    Chattering noise after hard braking on my 01\' RT. Normal? Hello out there; My 01' RT has about 2K on it so far. I went out for a drive and wanted to check out the ABS. More initial tire skid than I would have thought, but it stops like it's tied to a tree! After my first hard brake in a...

    Two License Plates?

    Hello; It sure seems to me that there must be a company out there with a non-drill remedy. Self adhesive velcro can work wonders for things like this. Does Snake Oyl make a non-drill removable front plate holder? It only makes sense to have one that is removable for trips. Yes, an officer...

    RT10 or GTS....why did you buy your model??

    OK, my turn; With the RT-10 (which I own) I can put the hard top on when the weather turns for the season. When it gets hot, I can put it back on for the heat protection. The real difference is in the removable REAR WINDOW, which allows for some excellent airflow. I have three possibilities...

    Major differences: 96 GTS vs newer GTSs

    William; I can tell you from my personal experience that my 01'RT-10 drives better than my silver 98' RT-10. There is a noticeable difference between these two years to me. I bought both cars brand new, and broke them in as suggested on this board. So what is different? I am not qualified...

    I want to try drag racing, where can I go near me?

    Hello; I live in Iowa, and I am not familiar with where to go try drag racing. KC is close by, as is Omaha. Do any of you live in these areas, and if so, would you let me join you to learn and give it a try? I have never tried official dragging before, and would really enjoy going with...

    Please put me out of my misery concerning headers! Help!

    Dear Viper friends; Thank you for all of your responses. Yes, I am concerned about the consequences of installing headers on my 01'. It's not the money, it's the potential (or inevitable?) chain of other things that happen that concerns me. I believe Mr. Welch had a good suggestion; "live...

    Viper vs. Corvette drag races!

    Treynor; Sounds great, though I live in Iowa. I get frustrated with the drag race thing because of the "modified" aspect. You don't really know what you are racing unless the prodpects are graded by mods. It would be so nice if the only mods allowed in "stock" would be tubes and K&N's. You...
