How is the Viper on driveways or entrances with an incline?
We're having a new house built in Ft Worth and just got down to the driveway approach design this week. My concrete guy is one of the best in town according to my builder and the city inspector that I talked to this morning. He measured my '01 GTS and set up a template to be used when laying...- Bird325

Bucket list
Blemay88, Your sills WILL get hot ... hot enough to leave a mark. High Flow cats will help keep it within reason, but they will still hurt like hell if you hit them with a leg in shorts. Best off to learn to give them a wide berth and not hit them with your legs getting out. Search for...- Bird325

Got my new magazine
Got mine today and read it from front to back ... North Texas has a really active group and Guns and Dozers was an event that will never be forgotten! Can't wait for next year! The new format/approach is a 'breath of fresh air' and pointed towards enjoying our cars and our Viper family. Job...- Bird325

Ask VPA (Keith)
Come on, Matt ... I read that request and it was just a BIT vague. I'm sure that IF you had your car there and Keith could look at it, he would know EXACTLY what part you're talking about. Go ahead and post up a pic and I'm sure he will be able to point you in the right direction. Separately... -

Texas Viper Roundup
For those that missed it, this was the 8th annual Viper Roundup and even with the rain in Central Texas, is was an EXCEPTIONAL weekend. Ryan and the Central Texas group did an awesome job of putting together events, dining and drives that didn't require a VCA badge ... a VOA badge ... a Viper...- Bird325

What an AWESOME approach, Paul! Go to VOI and leave your clunker behind, but drive home a brand new Gen V ... Hmmm, wonder what my credit card limit is these days?- Bird325

4 Post Lift Info
Thanks for the idea! I'm building my Viper Den as we speak and waffling between 2 and 4 post lift. The biggest draw back (Until NOW) was taking the wheels off ... this idea makes for more options.- Bird325

'01 Airbox and original clutch
I'm in the process of moving into a new house and have stuff from when I first started modding my Gen II. I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to hang onto the original airbox (I have a K&N box installed) and the original clutch (no problem with it, just put on a BBG clutch) or not? I could sell...- Bird325

Less powerful brake :-(
Casper, Since you just took this car on, go ahead and flush your brake fluid unless it's been done recently. You can easily tell by the color ... clear/light amber is OK ... dark/black IS NOT. Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and turns dark. The moisture mixed in the fluid...- Bird325

You asked for input ... here goes: Greg, I don't think we should leave anyone out that wants to join us for VOI ... BUT, there should be one rule: POLITICS are left at the door with your six-shooter. The last gathering we had for the state and surrounding states was so politically charged that...- Bird325

Thanks Guys. I'll go check out the paint at Sherwin Williams and see how well it matches. Leadfoot, If you could send just a little piece, that would be great. I'll pm my address to you. Mike- Bird325

'01 Sapphire and Silver color formula - wall paint?
We're building a new home and I've been lucky enough to have my 'financial advisor' (wife) supporting me in setting up a garage just for the Viper ... hopefully VIPERS. I'm wanting to do some trim/decorating in the garage with the '01 Sapphire blue and silver. Does anyone have a color chip...- Bird325

Power steering pump pulley failure...
Those in a Gen II that haven't done the pulley and bracket just have to ask themselves ONE question every time they pull out of the garage ... "Do you feel LUCKY, Punk?"

Considering a Viper, is it for me?
If you're wanting the PUREST of Vipers and want to get on the track with your pucker point being constantly tested, go for the Gen I ... it's a fantastic car that demands a dedicated owner that wants to be connected to the track, the car, the weather and the most beastly animal created.

new spark plug wire
Brent, you need to add the word 'relatively' to your EASY statement. That last one on each side can be a biotch! Still, replacing the wires should not be avoided as carrying the power you need to a sensitive engine can make all the difference in the world. I've found that removing the heat...- Bird325

No entry level viper
The Viper is iconic ... it's the only true 'street legal race car'. I love what they've done with the interior, but to go away from the original premise of the car would be to give in to marketing and I just don't want to be a part of that. Ralph has balls amongst a sea of 'whatever sells'...- Bird325

Car pulling to right during braking
New pads, even WITH smoothing out the rotors will take a while to break in. There is a rather complex set of steps to go through to 'burn in' the new pads. I experienced a similar situation on my new pads (ceramic in front, EBC Reds in the rear), but it cleared up after driving it home and...- Bird325
