    VOI 8 ????????????????????????????????????/

    Jon, I understand all the problems associated with going somewhere like Montery....I was just dreaming about my personal "ideal." I'll be wherever they hold it.

    Are Vipers too radical for most people??

    Jim, I think that the Harley reference was more of a "fan base" comparison than comparing the machines themselves. As far as the cars being hot, lumpy idle, etc. These are some of the things that come with owning a real live race car. The Vette is great for going to the grocery store and...

    What kind of jobs do Viper owners have?

    Key to owning a Viper: WORK FOR YOURSELF.

    Stripes on the SRT

    I think that the stripes are a bit too narrow for the eye. Look at the stripes that the factory puts on the Comp Coupe as an example of how they should look. Just my opinion.

    Viper Owners, Quit your whining

    What ONERAREVIPER said is the whole deal. Any and all complaints that I have ever heard are about styling. Styling is a subjective matter. If the bulk of the Viper community doesn't like the SRT styling, DC should have listened to us. Who cares what this d*ldo thinks. He drives a Kia...

    Are Vipers too radical for most people??

    Allow me to throw my .02 in. I have a little different view of why the magazines write the things they do. People who work for magazines see themselves as JOURNALISTS, especially biased rags like "Road and Track." They are "Automotive Journalists," You know, the educated ones among us. Their...

    Easy change! and it sounds GREAT!

    It's not too loud in the straight pipe configuration. You can still listen to the stereo on the highway. I'm sure the glass packs also sound good. SCLS is correct in the 3 hour time area if you haven't taken the side sills off before. It's definitely worth the change.

    Easy change! and it sounds GREAT!

    Dave Ivler and I made the change to our SRT's today. It cost a total of $15 a car. We had custom 34" pipes made at a local muffler shop (I'd recommend 33 1/2" for anyone else that wants to do it. It will make the installation about 20 minutes faster per side.) Have the pipe flared at one end and...

    Why did Dodge change the Cam in the 2000 Viper ??

    I heard that they did it because too many new owners were complaining that their cars idled uneven (lumpy). They should have shot those guys for the benefit of the rest of us who love a lumpy idle.

    Newbee question

    GTS refers to a Generation II COUPE. 1996-2002. RT-10 could either be a generation I car 1992-1996 or a Gen II car (for the RT-10 this would be 1997-2002). It is a convertible as opposed to a coupe. The ACR is a GTS that has been set up by the factory in mild race form. It deletes many...

    Road atlanta Sept 27,28

    PS...yes, I know that the SCCA will give me a license with the VRL license...but I wanted to track the car with some of my friends who do not have their license.

    Road atlanta Sept 27,28

    Guys, I'm really glad to hear that. I called Panoz and spoke to a guy named "Ness" or something like that. He was a bit arrogant. I told him that I was attending the Viper event and that's when he gave me the pitch about an SCCA ir IMSA license. I mentioned that I had a VRL license and he...

    Road atlanta Sept 27,28

    I spoke with the Panoz folks who run the track and event. You must have an IMSA or SCCA license to run on Sunday.

    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    Ron, Any news on the bog? It will definitely be a computer programming issue. I'd love to get it straightened out.

    Did all 2003 Certificate holders get their car ?????

    Hello Craig, Gee....I think that your Dad is handing you a well contrived story about why he didn't want to reach into his pocket for a second 2003. All certificate cars were delivered to their rightful owners (or the dealers that were supposed to deliver them to their owners). There were...

    Here's how we eliminate idle hang when needed....

    Re: Here\'s how we eliminate idle hang when needed.... Guys, I had the hang problem bad. I got rid of the Mopar Competition Computer and then got rid of the oversized throttle bodies and the problem went away. If you want to drive your car on the street, the hang problem is quite annoying...

    I just completed my last transaction with Jon B

    I've said it before and I'll say it again...Jon's good by me. Some of you guys ought to lighten up and not take everything so personally. He's busy. What about that can't you relate to?

    I just completed my last transaction with Jon B

    Guys...it all comes down to personality and how you handle intense pressure. Jon is probably (like me) and gets frazzled when a thousand things come at him at once. He has GREAT prices, is the most knowledgeable Viper guy around. Jon is one of the only Viper vendors that will reach into his...

    Congrats to PMUM (must read)

    From my viewpoint, it looked like the Vette could have stopped before re-entering the track.

    Do any Florida Vipers like road racing ?

    Unfortunately, this event is during a Viper Days event. That would leave Gary Lashinsky and me out for this Florida event. By the way, Viper Days is taylored to the Viper owner and allows maximum track time for minimum dollars. If something happens to your car at the track, there is support from...
