    Vettes crying again

    Hello out there; Just couldn't help myself. Some of you may disagree. Tiger Woods would kick your butt with a 40 year old set of golf clubs. Tanya Harding would make your flexibility look pathetic. 13 horspower won't make a difference unless you are in the top 5% of skilled drivers. Think...

    Best towels to use?

    Viper Nation; The best towels on this planet are made of Egyptian long staple cotton. The best make is CHRISTY of LONDON. I used to own a fine bedding store, and learned alot about fabrics. 100% cotton towels ARE NOT created equal! Christy towels can be purchased from "the Company Store"...

    600 miles now on my RT/10. How many more before I am broken in for real fun?

    On my new 01\' I get throttle peddal vibration at decel and slow speeds..How to fix? She only has six hundred miles on her, but I get a noticeable feedback chatter from my gas pedal. I secured the throttle linkage on top of the engine (it had come loose) but this did not cure the problem...

    Ever gouged/scraped your right wheels during spirited driving on entrance ramps? Fix?

    It seems so easy to do when taking a tight right on a ramp if you are having fun. The Viper is so sensitive, and you barely have to kiss a curb to get a srape on the polished bead of the rim. How many of you have done this, and how did you get the blemishes/scrapes repaired? Thanks, Jim

    How many of you have done a header upgrade? Do you recommend it on 01\' Viper RT? Hello from Iowa; I am strongly considering adding Belanger (or other) headers to my 01 RT/10. I have installed the Mopar "street exhaust" and I really enjoy the improved sound! I am concerned about adding...

    Questions about maintaining a Viper

    Manny; My bet is most us will say that you should change your oil every 2-3 thousand miles with Mobil-1, and clean your air filter. Aside from the common sense lubes, plugs, etc, in the manual, keep your tire pressure where suggested and replace your tires when your service tech advises. I am...

    ZR-1 Didn't want to play!

    Re: ZR-1 Didn\'t want to play! Dear Sean; I was thinking about your ZR-1 post, and remembered a ticket I got right after our second child was born. We went out to celebrate (I thought moderately), ate dinner, and drove the baby sitter home in my newly rebuilt Porsche 914-6. This particular...

    Do most of you feel the need to buy new rear tires by 8/10K? I am very curious!

    My Viper started showing tire wear around 4-5K. I did change rear gears to .355's but did not drag race in competition. I am just an enthusiast who would occasionally find a safe stretch of road and practice a couple of drag runs for fun. When are most of you casual drivers finding the need...

    Slight uneven rear tire wear on 98\'. They shouldn\'t be identical..or should they? I just traded in my beloved 98' RT/10 with 7.5k on it for a new 01'RT/10. I had changed rear gears to .355's. Had Mopar "race controller" ECU, smooth tubes, and K&N's. The car performed flawlessly, and was...

    "96 GTS Bucking!

    Re: \"96 GTS Bucking! Reggie; I had a similar experience. The dealer found a small motor that has to do with the throttles (there are two) and replaced it. The dealer also re-synched the throttle cable. The instructions are available on this site in the tech section. It ran much better...

    Anybody been burned from modifications?

    Thanks for the comments. Resale is not so much the issue as is the "downside" or consequence of the mod. Headers are my BIG question. Seems like many owners add them. WHAT IS THE RISK OF ADDING HEADERS? Will the increase in under-hood temp be a problem? What problems have any of you had...

    Anybody been burned from modifications?

    I could not resist getting to the point! I am the proud owner of new Viper #2 (an 01'RT). I have performed the "normal" upgrades on both Vipers, (smooth tubes, K&N's, cat-back Mopar Street exhaust, Mopar "race Controller"), and am considering more goodies. The 01' is still in break-in...

    Viper Or Vette? I ask Your Advice.

    Gorilla hands; The new Viper will be hard to get. I agree with Fred Kinder. The Vette is a great machine, but the individuality of the Viper is really fun. The resale has been awesome as well. I love my Viper, and find that the ownership experience is fantastic. Jim

    D Status since late January

    Dear RichardR; I am on my second Viper, and can tell you that both took about six months. If you are a previous Viper owner, it seems to help. Once the Viper hits "D-1", it seems to go pretty fast. You may have a month or so to wait. I am only speaking from my experience. The new Viper 01'...

    Going to tour CAAP for the first time on Monday!!!!!

    Dear Motor city; The CAAP plant tour is really great. I picked up my snake there with my wife, and she really enjoyed the tour as well. My suggestions; take special notice of the Vipers without bodies on as they roll by. It really helps to see what the guts are really like. Ask questions...
