    Traded my Viper yesterday...

    Good Luck, GTD and keep us posted as the mods add up. Nothing wrong with trying some STRANGE, but I bet you come back to your mistress before it's all said and done. :rolaugh: Challengers are great looking cars ... just don't know that the bulk wouldn't start to bother me in aggressive, busy...

    Driving Home in my 2001 Red GTS I just picked up!!! ---

    AC390, PLEASE rethink the 'I have driven fast cars my entire life' ... if it wasn't a Viper, then you're in a new world that you should tread lightly in! No, the Viper isn't the fastest car there is or the most manuveable, but I can pretty much promise you that it WILL bite you faster than you...

    Putting a new clutch and flywheel in ... you want to help out?

    Thanks for the input, Guys. Put some more miles on it yesterday doing my best to slip into each gear as Toddy recommended in order to 'bed' the clutch correctly. Still loving the feel and positive engagement. It's a little hard to 'slip' it on downshifts, but I'm working on it. I don't think...

    Putting a new clutch and flywheel in ... you want to help out?

    Picked up my Gen II last Sunday and I am REALLY happy with the new BBG stage 2 clutch/flywheel setup. When I first got in the car and pushed on the pedal to start it, it felt like the hydraulics were pumping into dead air! No, that wasn't a problem ... that's the way the clutch feels now! I...

    OH NO MY PAINT.....

    That's going to depend on how bad the build up is. A quick once over after you've done it thoroughly before is only about 30 minutes, but the surprise if that once you clay bar, you have to wash again and then at LEAST wax it. When you go to do this, set aside a weekend to do it right. To do...

    New and old owners alike must see video!!

    I just watched this for the third time and it still puts a lump in my throat. If you haven't seen this Ultimate Factories show about how our cars have been made, it's well worth the time. It helps put the pride and love we have for our beasts into perspective. Can't wait to see and touch the...

    DC Performance closed : <(

    Good luck, Dan and many thanks for the time you spent helping me with my SCT tunes when I first got my Snake. Your professionalism and commitment to Vipers is second to none and I look forward to the next stage in your evolution.

    Putting a new clutch and flywheel in ... you want to help out?

    I went ahead and ordered the Stage II for my Gen II from Toddy today and he's already at work getting the package put together. We talked on the phone a number of times and I even added him to my contacts, so I know when to leave a meeting to answer the phone! So far, the experience has been...

    Hmmm....A/C Recharge - Am I on the Right Track?

    +1 ... unless you're in an emergency (taking the wife to dinner) type of situation, do it right and suck it out and then start from scratch. I added some freon year before last and had that same sight glass situation and a less than cool interior. Last summer, I borrowed a set of gauges and...

    Putting a new clutch and flywheel in ... you want to help out?

    For anyone following this, I talked with Toddy today specifically about my car and driving style. I'm going to go with his setup which is designed to work together with the flywheel and clutch. I haven't seen too many providers in my time that have such a PASSION for their product and their...

    Putting a new clutch and flywheel in ... you want to help out?

    BBG, I got a PM about a relatively new clutch and mating flywheel that you guys have developed. Haven't seen much on it so here's your chance. Gen II, NA GTS looking for a good match for 'spirited' street driving. What do you guys have under covers that we should all know about?

    Wanted: Gen II Centerforce clutch, Fidanza flywheel

    How about it, BBG? What's the cost on your new clutch/flywheel combo that you just recently developed?

    Snake Eyes headlight covers

    You know, I don't care about the HATERS. There are a lot of Vipers out there with mods that I don't care for, but it's their car and they can do what they want with it as long as it makes them happy. Me? I want to DO it. Please include me in the questions about cost, color, sticker/cling...

    Wanted: Gen II Centerforce clutch, Fidanza flywheel

    Is there an issue with the Fidanza or are you just wanting something different? Will yours fit a Gen II?

    Wanted: Gen II Centerforce clutch, Fidanza flywheel

    Need to replace my slave cylinder and intend to put a new clutch and lightweight flywheel in at the same time. Anybody have a good setup for a NA street Viper?

    Well this is not cool...

    Gotta admit the Vette looks nice and I've run with a few on the twisties in our part of the country... they handle really well, but it's not the BITE YOUR ASS, MASSIVE POWER of even the Gen I and II Vipers. The 'only one around' feeling of pulling up in the Viper just can't be beat. There are...

    2002 Graphite Viper GTS Detailed (PICS)

    OOPPS, you missed a microscopic piece of lint left from the microfiber on the left rear coil spring. :omg: I'm glad that some of you guys spend hours cleaning your cars with a Q-tip ... that means there will be nice cars for those of us that aren't quite as anal to drive in years to come. :D...

    Hood Liner Sides

    My '01 has no pad on the passenger side. I think that's normal for the Gen II.

    Registration is now open!

    Just got them to send my comfirmation from registering a few days ago. This is going to be awesome! Driving up from Texas and looking forward to meeting the rest of the club. I'll go for that pool on guessing the attendees ... I say 200 cars, 300 people.

    Wife to VOI?

    I say leave it up to her. She knows what is happening with her pregnancy and how comfortable she will be. I passed up a chance for hot air ballooning in the Rockies after the Balloon Festival in New Mexico due to my ex-wife being pregnant years ago. I had an all expenses paid chance of a life...

    To drive, or not to drive?

    Life is too short to have a car like the Viper and not enjoy it. Why have a Garage Queen? If you bought it just to look at it, pull the drive train and sell it! If you bought it as an investment, sell it and buy diamonds. If you bought it because it gave you goose bumps when you first saw...

    Getting Registered for VOI 12

    I called today and mentioned VOI12. They asked for my name and found my VOI registration. That should guarantee that I'm hooked up with the right hotel! If they don't know about it, you should ask and make sure that you're setting up in the right one. They told me that they had the Wed-Sun...

    Gen II Seat cushion removal?

    Doesn't look like the Gen II has the clip/bracket that I can tell. How 'bout it, Dave? Help a neighbor out?
