    RT-10 practical for daily driver?

    "20-25 in traffic" Wow, my 96 Corvette does almost that well but my Viper is more like half that. Are you sure your odometer is right? Did you change the rear end ratio without the cal box? Check under the hood and see if someone slipped a V6 in there. :-)

    RT-10 practical for daily driver?

    The stock soft top is ugly. All of the hard tops available now are ugly. The new one that is being developed, that comes apart for trunk stowage and fits flat to the sport bar, is da bomb. (I believe this means good in young people speak) That's the only top anyone should consider buying right...

    "I remember hearing the sounds of metal impacting rocks and trees and the sound of glass shattering. Horrible sounds!" And you ran out and shouted to them that they should have gone to driving school..... Calm down Fred Just kidding...... :-)

    Thermostat question.

    Take that stupid Vipair off and yours might run cooler. ;-)

    Thermostat question.

    The thermostat limits coolant to keep the engine at a stated minimum temperature. The 190 or 180 rating is the minimum temperature that the engine will operate with that thermostat. If, for some reason, the engine wants to run hotter than the thermostat temp, there is nothing that the...

    some positive thoughts for a bad situation...

    Fred says, "Take some time and read the statistics on accidents" The statistics on convertibles are only useful if one knew the percentage of convertibles in the population of cars on the road. Also, the population of convertibles that are on the road, includes a higher percentage of the most...

    JUST FIRED THE SNAKE UP AND.............

    Probably just some relay that is sticking a little due to the cold. I'm guessing you don't have it in a heated garage. If the car is at outdoor temperature, I'd avoid starting it in really cold weather. Start it up on a little warmer day.

    Ins. Co. trying to total my buddies Viper..Need Advice

    If they want to give him low $20k range for the total, and they won't budge, find out how much they will want to let him keep the car. If hood is really the only damage, buy one of the ones mentioned above. He might be able to come out with the repaired car and money left over. I'm only...

    Craig, I think he only responds to the words, "driving school".

    some positive thoughts for a bad situation...

    Craig's right, just this one time. Fred, Your constant drum beat for driving school is tiresome. Perhaps driving school is a good thing. Do you have any data to back that up? Has anyone who has been to driving school ever screwed up and wrecked their car? Do the people who have been to...

    What is a 92 Viper worth without motor/trans?

    I guess the $12k-$15k for the engine and trans might be about right. I don't see the car being worth $30k after it's back running again. So, I'd guess that $15k would still be too much for the car as it sits now. One could probably buy a gen1 already running for less than $30k. Considering...

    Neighbor of mine

    I still think that if one were to read the fine print in the contract, there would be a clause letting the dealer bail out. I believe the dealer will be able to return the deposit and walk away.

    Neighbor of mine

    Ok, lets say the wreck was real. What has this wreck got to do with the contract that your neighbor had with the dealer? I can't believe that the contract and deposit was for a certain VIN. So, the dealer should have called your neighbor and said, "we can't deliver yet, it will be a few more...

    Someone Buy My Car!!!

    Folks, Please don't talk to this guy, ANIL8-U. BnB, he isn't worth your fire. We all know what he did. We all know what he said. He doesn't deserve to be one of us. He is nothing but a liar. Do we tolerate liars? No, I don't think so. Let's not give the guy any more air time. He's out...

    Need a center console

    I'm fairly sure that the gen2 console wont fit a gen1. Or perhaps it was a GTS console that wouldn't fit a gen1. Anyway, I know for sure that all of them are not the same. I was thinking of getting a new one for my gen1 just because I wanted a new one. Someone pointed out that the thing is...

    Neighbor of mine

    That's right "Finally", You and old cynical Joe are both thinking the same thing. The dealer made the first deal before he had any idea how much extra he could get for the car. He probably made up the bogus wreck story just to get out of the deal. If I were your neighbor. I would be thinking...

    Question about Viper Raffle ??

    I don't know if I'd buy a ticket in an Ebay or Fantasy car raffle. Too much scam on line and too hard to know how many tickets they sell. The other thing is, the VCA raffle is honest and a way to help your club raise money. Buy a ticket for that reason. If you just want to gamble $100 on a...

    Ok, I give up. Help me with my stupid question!

    "the forged have a little more RWHP and RWTQ to start but they also react better to most mods" The only thing that forged pistons will do for you is not break so fast when abused, such as during periods of detonation.

    Someone Buy My Car!!!

    ANIL8-U Paint problems? No, YOU are the problem. You told him you would buy his car. You didn't say that you would buy it if he came down in price. You said you would buy his car. You told him you were PayPaling the money RIGHT NOW. You did this twice. You didn't say you were sending the...
