    Wrecked VIN link?

    This is one of the most frustrating things about doing this. One club has a legel defense fund just so it can fight these sort of things! I have started gathering images of wrecks and sticking them in the IVR galleries, we may want to have the folks that salvage Vipers let us at least put...

    Dan Knott on Motor Trend "Power List"

    Re: Dan Knott on Motor Trend LOL, It took me years to call him "Dan". He's a super nice fellow, with lotsa smarts. He basically built a little car company in his PVO position. Next he'll build and aftermarket parts company. Don't be surprised if he is the one that finally takes Mopar and...

    Any twin turbo Vipers going to the standing mile races?

    An RSI TT ran over 200 in the HALF MILE during the test runs the day before Racing (and beating) the jet last fall. They had to slow down and put on stock wheels with run-flats to race the jet because the event coordinator did not want a car running over 200 mph "on his runway". Sure hope...

    Racedeck garage flooring

    A great idea, you may want to consider using a floating floor system underlayment..... will not rub tar into the concrete.

    Racedeck garage flooring

    Hope you don't mind if I answer this one..... If you want to seal the joints, overlap the paper several inches and use a wet patch roofing cement or flashing sealer (available at lumber yards or Lowes/Menards/Home Depot etc.). It will not take much, just a very small bead. It comes in tubes...

    Racedeck garage flooring

    This is one that the concrete contractor "should have known better". He should have not used this type of aggregate on a garage floor that was going to be sealed in an area where moisture could be an issue. It could also be related to how the concrete finisher did their job, they may not have...

    Racedeck garage flooring

    Down south, the opposite end of the year is the issue. The frostline is "0" so freezing is not an issue and most houses and shops are on slabs. Many slabs still do not use foam underneath them since the slab never freezes, winter heting is actually benefited by the 50 +/- degree temp pf the...

    2006 Viper Sales Brochure - ONLINE - HOT!

    Dealers should be able to order them if they do not have any. This is the first "Viper only" brochure in a few years.

    Racedeck garage flooring

    Curing would not be an issue as epoxy cures as the result of a two-part chemical reaction. As long as the floor and room are at the temperature recomended by the paint manufacturer. The real issue would be floor prep and the ventilation it will require (open grage doors). To properly prep...

    Venom 650 R - SRT 10 ....

    This is about right, you can plan on 10-25% of what the original package cost was. Why? in the mind of the buyer, higher power vehicles are more likely to have been driven hard (why buy if not going to use, right?). Plus, all the unknowns that go with a modded engine from this outfit, the...

    I went with an epoxy on the floor of the working area of the shop and it is holding up great: Yes, I work on vehicles in my shop ;) , the Shelby Dakota is on the lift because tomorrow it gets a new strater. I did all the prep for the floor myself, it was a ton of work, but the...

    How hard is it to replace head gaskets Gen2

    I'd add, while the heads and intake are off, you should check the heads for deck flatness and have a good head shop check the valves and give the heads a once over. I had one bent valve and one bad valve guide in mine, I was glad I had them checked. If you want, it is also a good time to...

    PAINTING front nose/fascia of GTS

    r As far as I know, all Vipers have Akzo Nobil paint on them accept one year of PPG, I do not remember that year off the top of my head. They switched back becasue they had issues matching the colors on the front and rear facias with the rest of the body. I think it was 1998 because I think...

    PAINTING front nose/fascia of GTS

    Many things are less expensive in the south-central states. Painting is a lot cheaper as the environmental regulations are often more lax than up North. The fact it is warmer in the winter is an additional bonus: It was 65 and sunny here on Christmas.

    It's TIme for Dodge to step up

    Re: It\'s TIme for Dodge to step up Makes sence. The other part of the Vete rumor is the price... over 100K. WE all know that Paxton SRT-10's are way below that price, and delivering similar or bigger HP numbers. Do you think a Viper with a Paxton, or screw type super charger, as an...

    The additional weight was one of the things that sold me too. You'll love it. If you are assembling it yourself (good excuse for a barbeque with your friends), be careful on how much hydraulic fluid you add.... the instuctions called for a bit more than it needs.... fill it to the "line"...
