    GEN 1 Dashboard replacement? With a GEN 2?

    I replaced my 94 gray dash with a new black one, Easy job. I believe it was about $350 when I did it. You could probably repaint your old one. I'm not sure if the new parts are still available. Semms like I remember them being hard to get.

    help finding rear end gears

    "help finding rear end gears" I was going to tell you that they can be found inside that big aluninum thing between the rear wheels. Seriously, you could probably find a set of stock gears for nothing if you ask around. I changed to 3.55. That's what you should do. I have the old 3.07 and you...

    Motor Trend isn't very hot about the new Viper

    Re: Motor Trend isn\'t very hot about the new Viper I'll bet that GM makes money on each ZO6. I'll bet that DC looses money on each Viper. I don't see DC making nearly as much advertising hay with the Viper as it's flagship performance car as GM makes with the Corvette. I'm wondering if DC is...

    Motor Trend isn't very hot about the new Viper

    Re: Motor Trend isn\'t very hot about the new Viper "the viper has better handling and better brakes. so its like a tie. on the track, it depends on the driver" I don't know about that. I'd say the ZO6 is probably going to be a better road race car in stock form. I really don't see how any...

    Your wires shipped TODAY and you will have them in 2 days as you requested "(this for Joe117, no email, no name)" What? I didn't order any wires. Did you send me some?

    Why do you think you need plug wires other than stock?

    Notchy shifting as car heats up

    Gerald, I'd say that this might be caused by the gears simply not being lined up to engage when you try to put it in reverse. Mine does it every so often. I think it's normal. I just put it back in neutral and let out the clutch to spin the gears to a new position. If your clutch was dragging...

    "Stock" Camaro Encounter

    Re: I agree with Russ. Chevy speed equipment is cheap. Any kid with a job can have a Camaro, modded to the point where you will not want to race him unless you have a very serious Viper. The guy with the Camero in the story didn't have what it takes. He could have. I would never assume that...

    Notchy shifting as car heats up

    Well, how about reverse? No synchros in reverse. If it's a dragging clutch, it will be worst going into reverse.

    Notchy shifting as car heats up

    I agree with the dragging clutch idea. Whatever the cause. Heat or cold might cause it somehow. I'd ask if the car grinds gears a little when going into reverse.

    F-16 Fighting Falcon

    "there is no better one-v-one visual fight aircraft out there." Look at this as a question, not an argument. Do you think these one-v-one, close range, top gun type fights have much to do with what would happen in most real combat situations? Is anyone going to gun anyone?

    Fat and Balding........

    "I made a deal at 67,500 with the polished wheel option in le mans winning yellow. This is a firm order" Hey, where's that guy who was telling people his buddy the chevy dealer would sell the new ZO6s at cost to build up his sales numbers? Anyone seen him? I said it was BS and everyone jumped...

    My speedo isnt reading right, why?

    When I had stock gears, I don't think I could put the car in 6th at 60mph. Anyway, As others have said, you probably have the cal box but the gears have neen removed and returned to stock. Or perhaps you have non stock gears and the box was set up wrong. Example would be, you have 3.45 gears...

    How many of you guys make less than $ 50,000.00 a year ?

    "Being debt-free is probably the most liberating experience." Well said. Any of you young guys, you should be saving, buying some kind of house and not ever paying a cent in credit card interest. Also, put off having children as long as possible. If you really don't want kids, don't let...

    Wing or no Wing?

    No wing. No spoiler. No splitters. Nothing looks better than a stock Viper. Anything you add just makes the car look cheap. JC Whitney. Some guys just can't leave their cars alone. They have to do something and they don't want to go SC or nitrous, so they go for bolt on crap that doesn't do...

    Gen 3 heads on a Gen 2, what is needed ?

    Will the Gen3 heads have a larger combustion chamber and thus lower your compression ratio?

    What is AMSOIL ?

    Amway is about pyramid marketing. They have some folks who get in it and stay in it. Those people make money by getting a cut from the much larger number of people who get in, sell to all their friends, aunts and uncles and then drop out when these folks stop buying. The newcomers are told that...

    K&N Filter warning

    Ok, Everything sounded good up to this point, "Now this is flow and not suction. As it is unthrottled it is near atmospheric pressure, thus low suction. But since the air cleaner is upstream of the throttle body, the filter only really sees a flow. The pressure drop across the filter is...

    What are your thoughts on an 39 mile B&W ?

    I wouldn't worry about dried up gaskets or hard seals, or anything else mechanical. The car has 39 miles, no one is going to buy it to drive, so the mechanics of the car are not important. Right now it's a museum car. Drive it a few thousand miles and it's just another nice Viper.

    Aftermarket product for your Viper you wish someone would make.

    25hp? Are you kidding? I'll bet it would feel more like 50hp. JoeAir..... Yeah, that has a nice ring to it. ;-)

    Aftermarket product for your Viper you wish someone would make.

    How about some kind of an air deflector that would bring cool air from in front of the radiator to the intake.;=)
