    GTS Common Problems???

    CONGRATULATIONS! You made a great choice. Given the choice of driving a GTS(I have two) or my stock SRT 10, I take the SRT10. The GTSs are for show and track events. The improved handling and brakes combined with the ease of going topless makes the SRT-10 a pleasure to drive.

    "R Hooks"

    SoCal Rebell, thanks, but I am not expert in this area. J-hooks R-hooks, T-hooks - A few years ago when I started towing someone suggested the what I posted above and I thought at the time it was a J-hook? The only thing I can say is that the T-hooks have worked for me. Others use the...

    GTS Common Problems???

    The most serious concerns is the software operating system of the Pilot. Many accidents result if the software in not upgraded to high performance software. If the software is not upgraded one must be gentle with the go pedal and steering input. Pilot Software upgrades available at Viper Days...

    SUV to Tow the Viper

    Have used a Jeep various years (1998 4.9, 2002 4.7HO) to tow a Featherlite open trailer/Viper. Towing was easy! Now use a RAM SRT10 Quad Cab to tow. The RAM does not know that it is hooked to a load. Amazing how well the RAM pulls. I suggest a RAM QUAD Cab with Cummings for the ultimate...

    Securing Viper to Trailer?

    The T-Hook is the one I use. Pretty easy to use and available from any trailer store or of the net. Cross the rear starps, front straps straight. Pull the e-brake and you are ready to go. After the fisrt 50-100 miles check straps and tighten as needed. Check on every gas up. Check tire...

    High Performance Tires

    What were your times? In my exp. With the same tires each day gest faster times due to learning the track. Fresh rubber should be faster then old rubber.

    Why not have control

    If you want the security of a Nanny contact Woodhouse and buy the Racelogic system. But to suggest the rest of the sports car purest should be forced to have a Nanny, because a few drivers are not willing to take responsibility for Car Control, is pretty selfish and intellectually empty point...

    High Performance Tires

    Well, I hate to say this Fred but you are dead wrong on this. I put 35,000 miles on a Gen I. I can tell you with 100% certainty that the snap oversteer issue with the OEM tires (when new!) and the extremely limited feedback when approaching the tire adhesion limit was the tire. Subsequent...

    Another Snake Bite!

    Glad no one was injured. Men, ego and money get separated when driving a Viper as well as other high performance exotics. Most of us think we know how to drive. After all we have been driving since we were 16 or younger. Some of us have owned many high performance corvettes, 427 or 429...

    High Performance Tires

    Thank you...:nono: Not true! 1. 92-95 Vipers have a totally different suspension which makes it drive more like an AC Cobra no matter what tires are on these years. Oversteer is part of the nature. In 96 major changes were made to the suspension. 2. For a beginner to run 2:12 at...

    High Performance Tires

    Twin Turbo First I do not think most on this site think hate the stock tires. There are a few who are do not understand the relationship between car control and grip. The Viper has massive torque compared to other brands that many consider high performance cars. I have observed national...

    High Performance Tires

    Janni, You are 100% correct! It is a lot easier to look for an excuse than to accept responsibility for car control. My only concern is that the new owner or uninformed might believe the myth spread by a few who blame everything on something rather then own their own limitations. No doubt...

    High Performance Tires

    Do not blame the run flats for a drivers lack of car control! Several have posted that run flats are not as good as? But look at the track results at Buttonwillow Raceway, a track novice(first time on a race track) turnes 2:12 in a 2003 Viper with the origional (old rubber by performance...

    Ohio Viper driver dies in crash..........

    :nono: The traction of slicks vs stock run flats is better but ever so slightly better. I doubt that sticker rubber would have changed the result of any accident. Knowing how to drive would have a lot more impact on accidents rates.:drive: Most seem to look for excuses rather than...

    Why not have control

    Here is raw data go to page 83 and study the data and tell me how to conclude a nanny would reduce the accidents by 30%? http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/pdf/nrd-30/NCSA/TSFAnn/TSF2004.pdf Page 108 also points out a lot about driving habits.

    Why not have control

    The DOT study - leaves a lot to be desired for cause and effect, IMHO. Data compares older cars vs newer cars with the Nanny. Look at and come to your own conclusion regarding cause and effect. http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/regrev/evaluate/809790.html Have to read the file again but...

    Why not have control

    If only a proposal, we have time to lobby against more government control.

    It is an option from Woodhouse.
