    DANGER - Factory Jack Collapses!!! DO NOT TRUST IT@!

    Have to agree the factory jack in the GEN I's and II's are worthless and dangerous. I started to jack up my 96 RT and the jack started to buckle. Now have a coupe low profile Al racing jacks. And always use jack stands.

    Bruce thanks for your opinion, it is duly noted! There is no shortage of performance driving schools. And I would expect Panoz to offer a very good program otherwise Bob Woodhouse would not organize his annual racing Panoz Racing Trip. But the Panoz GT is not a Viper. :nono: Given the...

    DC-Skip Barber Poor Business Decisions?

    Tom this is not about drag racing or road racing! Vipers(2003-06) have made great handling and braking improvements over GenII and I's, but the all have massive torque and huge tires. The Viper is subject to physics laws commonly called vehicle dynamics. Short Story in 1996 my wife told me...

    DC-Skip Barber Poor Business Decisions?

    Can you imagine the excitement and learning experience Viper owners will receive in a Mazda? Skip pad in a Truck that is fine, braking basics also fine, pushing an RX on the autocross compared to a Viper, is comparing apple to oranges. Mazda is slowing gaining ground with sports driving...

    Team Viper Contact?

    Bob all manufactures(cars, computers, cell phones, etc) have some quality problems, no one is perfect. I have taken two tours through CAAP, the most recent last year. Have visited the plant that paints and polishes every panel of the Viper. The panels leave there perfect. There are...

    Team Viper Contact?

    I have purchased five new Vipers 96 to 2003 All were perfect! I doubt your car left the factory with mentioned flaws. Sounds like dealer damage. The finish is inspected many times before being released. I do not know of a car with a better finish at any price? These issues are dealer...

    Extended Warranty - thoughts, price?

    Have purchased an extended warranty for several cars like Vipers, SRT RAM QC, Jeep and feel they are worth the $$. One tranny repalced in a Viper under the extended warranty was a big pay back.

    Why does everyone change?

    Sold my 96RT to make room for the 2003 SRT10. Sold my 97 GTS to make room my 99 ACR. Still have a 98 GT-2, 99ACR, 2003 SRT10. Not sure what to sell to make room for the next GEN. Love the present collection so losing one will be hard. To answer the question I sell to make room for the next...

    360 on Freeway .......

    Mark, Many will give you "expert" advise to improve handling. Take it with a grain of salt. Just look at a NASCAR race and the adjustments discussed because a car is to tight or to lose, or not tight or lose enough. There is not a perfect set-up for the car. The set-up is for the driver...

    360 on Freeway .......

    We all make mistakes and we all learn from mistakes. The Viper is a performance car that can deliver massive torque and deceleration. What keeps a vehicle in control is the driver. The tires are the only thing between the road and the car so clearly they are very important. And if you think...

    How long do Optimas last?

    Optima Caution GEN I&II owners. The battery tray height varies from car to car. The Optima will NOT fit in some cars. Before buying the battery verify tray to frame height to see if the top post will clear. IMHO the stock battery is the best solution for normal use. Heavy track use may...
