    Where can you buy wheel straps?

    Found a picture on the Viper Days website of an open trailer with the strap attached to the D-Ring and the T-hook on the end of the tie down strap. The T-hook fits into the frame slot. http://www.theperformancedrivingschool.com/photos.html If this link does not work copy it to your...

    Where can you buy wheel straps?

    Look for the front frame slot, just forward of the front wheel. The front D-Rings are about 4-5 feet from the frame slots on my trailer. Also in my post above I reversed the strap configuration. The front straps are straight from the frame to D-Ring and the rear Straps are crossed. My...

    Where can you buy wheel straps?

    No need to move the tie downs. The frame slots are for tie down. Just put the T-hook in the slot and use tie down straps between hooks and D-Ring. Simple and works great. Have towed hundreds of miles up and down hills and at 90+mph(short distances, passing. Cross front straps(X) and the rear...

    Where can you buy wheel straps?

    Why not use the slots in the frame designed for tie down? You will need T hook to fit in the slot on the frame and clip it to the tie down strap.

    Quality control may be lacking I am surprised

    superdayz - you are correct - Have learned to make sure my Vipers are not washed by the dealership. Picked up mt SRT10 hours after it was unloaded. Watched it be inspected by the Viper tech. And drove it off the lot dirty.

    Quality control may be lacking I am surprised

    Very unlikely that the car was shipped from CAAP with a flaw. All panels are inspected and polished to perfection before shipping to CAAP. At CAAP they are inspected again for flaws caused during assembly and shipped only if perfect. The truckers inspect the cars before shipping and after...

    Quality control may be lacking I am surprised

    The finishing of a Viper's paint is done by hand and inspected to perfection before shipped to CAAP. Very unlikely to find a better finish.

    Quality control may be lacking I am surprised

    NeilS, Most of your comments are not related to quality control, but dealer product presentation. The cars leave CAAP without a scratch. Was something wrong with the assembly? Could be but who knows what this car has seen? CAAP also wants good quality control and for a hand assembled car it...

    $20 bucks to beat on someone elses car?

    Looks like a $20 cost is a 1 hour version of the all day $300.00 program. Both are well worth the time and $$.
