    Battery Cover Panel Screw Sizes

    I'm missing what would probably be the most important screw of all: the one that is upper, inboard transverse screw that fastens both the battery cover and the inner fender to the frame. It is missing - in fact, it almost looks like it was never installed since there is barely any registration...

    What is top NA HP these days?

    Does Fat Albert have a website? I found reference to a www.fatalbertsmotorsports.com but that doesn't appear to be it.

    What is top NA HP these days?

    Thanks for the input. Reason I asked was I know a phenomenal engine builder from the Chevy world that seriously should be building NASCAR engines. If I could make it happen, I'd like to get him to turn his attention to Viper because there are still people who are willing to pay for something...

    What is top NA HP these days?

    I guess Gen2 and Gen3 should be separated. I'll bet its closing in on 800HP. Thanks Tom

    Chucks video is shipped!

    I got mine about a week ago. However, the thought that they pulled Chuck's dealership is insane. At VOI7, at the banquet, that German "Hans" guy seemed like a real jerk. The hand writing was on the wall probably back then. I think there were a lot of execs who were more concerned about where...

    The Official Chuck Tator's Viper World DVD is here!

    I really don't appreciate being strung along when it was obvious there was going to be a long delay in shipment. If someone would have told me it will take a few months, I would had said "Fine" and went about my business never giving the DVD another thought. Then when it would eventually show...

    The Official Chuck Tator's Viper World DVD is here!

    The shipment on Wednesday, is that the shipment to Chuck for Final Approval? or the beginning of shipments to people who ordered them? Thanks Tom

    What features/options should next Gen Viper have?

    I simply cannot believe Dry Sump was not on the list. This is unconscionable, blasphemous, and against the Gods of War. This is further heightened by the fact that Viper deserves 600 rwhp and in my book an absolute necessity - in fact, it is a sweet spot in street driven cars related to...

    Is The Viper An ANTI-CHICK MAGNET?

    Actually, the Viper is so over the top, its almost uncool to meet a girl for the first time in it. I guess its like the automotive equivalent of putting out on the first date. And boy oh boy, does the Viper put out (!)

    Is The Viper An ANTI-CHICK MAGNET?

    Teenage Boys????? In FL and PA I'd have to categorically say any child old enough to go to school - but yes mostly boys. Just try following a school bus for about 30 seconds and then pass it slowly - the bus will about flip on its side. Just sit 1000' from a grade school at a red light and...

    Need Clever Way to mask back of hood for repaint.

    Oh, and there are louvers (argh!) I've done this old school w/masking tape and the autobody paper rolls with mask applied to edges and it takes hours to do. I was thinking of other products such as shelf lining vinyl w/adhesive back. This might be OK for large areas but would need special...

    Any aerospace stress engineer would look at that control arm at the bushing and yawn. Yawn.... I'm sleepy.....

    Broken Control arms

    A sad little "secret" about aluminum is that it has NO ENDURANCE LIMIT. In other words, it has no Endurance Strength, which is the maximum stress level that can be tolerated while still exhibiting infinite cycle life. In other words, given enough cycles, aluminum will fail at any stress level...

    Power Window Popped: What likely happened?

    It is my strong opinion, that a simple mod might massively increase window regulator shuttle. First, a little failure analysis discussion: PHASE 1: It looks like the top leg of the shuttle breaks because it always bangs into the bent track tang which limits the upward travel of the shuttle...

    Power Window Popped: What likely happened?

    Well, if a part had to break, what broke is not that critical. I opened the door up and found the window clip laying in the bottom. Then I saw that the white plastic shuttle was stuck at the top of the track. (The Clip holds the window pin in the shuttle which raises and lowers the window.)...

    Power Window Popped: What likely happened?

    96 GTS 90k miles. Window down, went to close it, popped, window now down in door. Seems like motor is trying to work. I will be getting into this within 24 hours, however, I will have access to the car only until 10/4 which is only 10 days from now, and fewer business days. I have heard...

    Utter Stupidity of American Consumer

    Hey, me and most of my friends around 8 years old knew what a Ferrari was and that we all wanted them. We were schooled by slot cars and plastic models and movies and magazines and books. Any when you saw your first one on the turnpike going on vacation, well.... it was all over! I Give Up...

    Utter Stupidity of American Consumer

    So Viper is up for sale. Corvette is surviving. Still, you can take one of those $106k Corvettes and drive it down Main Street USA and its like a non-event. With a Viper, you're Jack Nicholson, or... how about, Pamela Anderson.... I remember years ago, AOL did a poll, "What car would you...

    More Viper bad news

    Can you imagine the joy of interfacing with all the government agencies to build a car? I think it is ironic that We paid for the roads and the government acts like they own the roads. But then, they decided a long time ago, we shouldn't own our cars anyway.... (research meaning of MSO) What...
