    What is the highest mileage Viper you have seen or heard of ??

    I have 107+k on mine. I thought I was the "high miles king" but some guy in Alaska said he had 120k.

    Ordered my new top

    Well, I've been looking at those nice new tops that Jeff is making and I just ordered one for my black 94. I really like the way they look in the pictures. I never liked the way my car looked with the stock hard top or rag top. I did get the one piece version, as I plan to leave it on the car...

    Why six bolt rims?

    What are rims?

    Need help on which rims to buy.

    "LOL I call a rim a rim. I call a tire a tire. I call a tire mounted on a rim a wheel. You really can't use either for a wheel unless they are together." A rim is the outer edge of the metal wheel... Right? As in "the dang tire went flat and I was riding on the rims as the cops chased me...

    A milestone few Viper guys get to achieve

    The LT1 engines in the Corvette are about the same sort of engine as the Viper V10. In this, I mean the stresses and wear are not much different, just two more cylinders. The LT1s will last 150k with no mechanical problems. Many of them last 200k. I don't see any reason that V10 wouldn't...

    3.08 to 3.55 what does it cost you on a dyno?

    A car with 3.55 will get off the line better, if he can get traction. That is because the 3.55 car has more torque to the rear wheels in first gear because of the mechanical advantage of those gears. As you go up through the gears there will be points where the 3.55 has an advantage and...

    Thinking of buying some KUMHO V700 Scrubbs

    Back in my stock car days we used to have a saying. If you buy tires with half the tread remaining, for half price, then you and the original owner both paid the same price for the tires, but he got the good half. And I think you might be paying more than half. I have those on my Viper...

    What to do, what to do...

    "They say that many Viper owners are just "too picky" and caused them nothing but headaches. Scratches that may or may not have happened during service, etc." I believe that this is probably true. They didn't bail out of working on Vipers for nothing. This is their reason. Good or bad, this is...

    Cherry bombs on Gen I ???

    I have some Belanger mufflers on my 94. They look like cherry bombs to me. I could have saved some money too.

    Re: How do Insurance Co\'s value wrecked Vipers? See this amazing story!! It don't smell right. Too many "funny" things that don't make sense.

    Head gaskets

    "I do have a warranty on my car BUT I have talked to two dealers and both of them said that they will not replace them if there is no sign of leakage. We all know how notorious the Gen1 Vipers are for leaky head gaskets but how can I get them replaced under warranty?" I don't understand why you...

    totaled Gen1, great insurance, looking for Gen2!

    It would be nice to find out what your Gen1 was exactly, miles, condition.... And what you received from the insurance company. Without that number, the story isn't nearly as interesting.

    Jerking reaction when easing off the gas pedal in 1st or 2nd gear...

    In more than a few cases this is caused by the driver getting bounced back slightly when the car accelerates slightly. The drivers foot comes up off the gas pedal slightly and the car slows, the foot presses a little more as the driver moves forward due to the slowing..... The point is, you can...

    Going price on Khumo 700s?

    I think I paid about $680 for all four from tire rack a couple of years ago.

    Do I take the Viper?

    "Did you ever think she may not even know what a Viper is? What if she says, "I love your Corvette?" That's what I was thinking. Unless she is interested in cars, she will not even know what a Viper is. If she is not interested in cars, she will not be interested in hearing any details. Take...

    How to jump start a Gen 1 Viper?

    "I tried to jump mine with a Dodge Durango, but it wouldn't do it. I hooked up the Ford F350 and that managed to charge me up enough to start." I'm not sure why this would be true.

    When in doubt just sue!!!!!

    Don't get me wrong here, I don't think the guy should get anything from anyone just because he rolled a Viper. But just think about it guys, this car is not your average car. They get away from fairly good drivers all the time. Vipers have a long history of being wrecked by people taking a...

    Hard to Believe...

    "There we were, car picked out, cash in hand" I heard an interesting thing on a radio talk show. The caller said he was a Mercedes salesman. He said that they had to make call in reports, just like calling for gun purchase, if you wanted to buy a car with cash. He said this is required before...

    Florida Highway Patrolman fabricated a charge

    I don't know if anyone has noticed but, the "he tried to run me down" or "I had to jump out of his path", Have become standard reasons for just about anything a cop wants to do. They are nothing but a bunch of pigs. Everyone knows what they are up to. If they wanted to save lives they would...

    Parking Lots

    "If you can't enjoy the car and drive it...why have it ?" If you can't afford to treat it like a car, perhaps you have more of your income tied up in it than you should. And watch out for those scrapes on the under side of the chin. Anyone who lays down on the ground in front of the car and...
