    Very bad speeding ticket situation HELP!

    Providing you don't mind spending money on this, FIGHT THE TICKET! Show up to court and hope the cop doesn't. If he does ask for an adjournment to a later date and be sure to let them know you will fight this fully AND APPEAL if necessary. They need to know this initially, because it costs...

    Woodhouse A+

    Today I took delivery of my 01 ACR. The car was purchased from Bill Pemberton of Woodhouse Dodge in Blaire Nebraska. If you are thinking of buying a Viper I suggest exploring your local dealer (mine is great but did not have the allocation) then call Bill. Compare. Bill's prices are very...

    WARNING ALL VIPER RACERS

    This happened on my 96 GTS @15,000 miles. The steering rack came loose then totally failed causing the car to go off at the Glen. No armco luckily but a wasted race weekend. I wrote a STRONG letter to Dodge and they actually sent me (2 months later) a gusset kit designed specifically for the...

    How to lock down your hood

    Why???...Why not??? After living in NYC for 16 years and seeing my cars and trucks malicously damaged I went to great extent to protect my Snake. I got an electronic hood lock that uses a cable mechanism. It is programmed as a button on my Clifford Intelliguard 8000. If you pressed the...

    ALMS rules 4 Vipers??

    The Vettes know that without the Oreca cars these are "hollow" victories. I commend Joe and Tom for their efforts. The LMP cars should stop thinking the entire track is only for them.

    Viper Braking & Handling Vs Porche

    In braking, there is no comparison. A new stock Porsche brake system is superior to anything Dodge has put on a Viper. Until the Viper looses weight, it will be underbraked by many other cars. I suggest Brembo or AP Racing calipers with Alcon rotors, bias valve, Motul 600 fluid, air ducting...

    What am I not getting here on the Viper/Vette comfort issue?

    You long trip Viper Lovers need to DRINK MORE MILK!!! Your bones must be like rubber. I'm 6'1" and after the first 4 hours of driving my new GTS home in 96 my left leg was sore since it had NOWHERE TO GO!!! Have you tried to tilt the seat back for a nap? I don't know if the Vette has a left...

    MOPAR Performance Parts = BOGUS!

    What is going on with MPP? Half the stuff you see in Viper Magazine is "vaporware"...It doesn't exist! I have wasted so much time and effort trying to get a $#&%@! brake duct kit from them. This kit was shown at VOI6 and is IN THE 2001 CATALOG! Just to annoy me even more, I send in for the...

    Questions about BTR Viper Performance Exhaust

    Word up is "Belanger". I will soon be installing their cat back system on my 01 ACR and I would get the headers if my race class allowed it. We have had measured results with their full system on other race cars and Lou took the time to really explain the benefit of their systems over Corsa...

    Roll cages

    John, thank you. I stand corrected. You are right. You can get a cage for $600 from Pegasus. I get my Water Weter from Pegasus but not my cages. I put an Autopower roll cage in a 911 in 1986. Yes the price is the best but I was not that happy with the fit. I put a Safety Devices (UK) bolt...

    Roll cages

    There is no such thing as a $600 cage! I had a $5k cage done in Michigan (not Autoform) that was sh_t! I had to fly out twice and ended up paying another $2k to fix the bogus bends in the rear tubes when I failed SCCA tech. I agree with Frank...go with someone that has experience. The best...

    Halon vs Haltron fire extinguishers

    Lifeline is very popular with F1 and since money is no object for those teams, especially when it comes to safety, there must be a reason why so many choose Zero2000 and now Cold Fire. In my 96 GTS, I used the electronic supression system from Lifeline. You can get it from Dewayne...

    Halon vs Haltron fire extinguishers

    After much research, the BEST on the market in my opinion is neither Haltron or Halon and should be judged by: (1) the effectivness to put out fires quickly (2) the toxicity to humans and corrosivness to the car. (This the "HOT" fire suppression product of the moment) "Cold Fire"...

    Subframe swap

    I noticed in th 2001 Mopar Performance Parts catalog an ABS "big red drum" mod kit for them drums which will surely out stop the new Porsche turbo with a nickel's change. For your future plans...Don't forget the deer whistle on the front bumper and the combo hairspray and deodorizer dispensers...

    Newbie question on car insurance

    I was paying @$4100 for NYC back in 96-98 for my 96 GTS. I had an opportunity to store the car in Queens and my insurance lady said it was actually more expenive and possibly the most expensive place on theplanet to insure a Viper. I moved to Westchester a few years ago and I pay @$1200/year...
