    hesitation at low rpm

    3 times now over the last month I have had an incident where when starting off from a stoplight my car felt like it was missing/hesitating almost like the timing was off, wasn't getting fuel or something. it happened in 1st, 2nd gear at low revs once I drove it for a 1/2 mile or so and got...

    how much air gets into system

    Thanks dave, I must still have air in the lines because hose doesn't seem that firm. I am adding fluid as air is purged but it is not taking much fluid in. after draining everything I filled overflow in fascia to 1/2 between hash marks and it has not moved very much, maybe slightly higher than...

    waterpump issues

    first off I really appreciate the way this group comes to the aid of a fellow viper lover. especially the wizard offering to help me over the phone, on a saturday no less! I will save that call until another day when I REALLY need his expertise. I was expecting the old pump to look much worse...

    Got a thumbs down today

    jealous, immature, loser. he probably overheard his wife say " wow what a car" and felt threatened. had a similiar incident a few weeks back that I posted. guy in a bmw gave me the thumbs down twice then went around a corner and slide into the curb. one of the most gratifying moments in my life.

    Owner Review; Ford GT vs. Viper ACR (Long, w/photos)

    Love the write up but have to disagree with the exhaust note deal. slap on some Belangers and you have an awesome, fantastic sounding car. sounds very exotic. makes you want to up and down shift just for the heck of it.

    check that cap!

    last week I was looking for info on the check engine light and started to reread the golden viper tricks, tips thread. I got to the one about the power steering cap coming loose and thought to myself that could never happen to me. well tonight I decided to check under the hood, oil etc. and...

    Viper Coupe video, too close?

    unbelievable. I am amazed he was able to get that close without crushing that guy. the guy in the chair: a) is on some pain killers b) just burned a big fatty and was to lazy to get up c) just downed a 12 pack d) has some kind of deathwish e) must have great insurance. wonder how many times...

    Tator's Dodge article in NY Times

    This is a huge problem with corporate america today- so short sighted. too many ya hoos who got a masters degree and actually think they know something about business. If dodge had any brains it would used Tators dodge as a marketing/advertisment campaign. if the suits would get off their...

    viper shake and shimmy

    OK, so I just got back after a lot of traveling for work and went on a date last night with a new girl. her first time in a viper, her ex used to drive a vette. now I'm not vette bashing but some of her observations were: the vette looks like more of a girls car (her words not mine). the...

    Snakeskin green hard to live with???

    As the owner of a black car all I can say is SSG rocks! I work at a few different hospitals around town. one of the owners of a great local restaurant (the watermark grille) owns a SSG. At least 10 different people, mostly women that know I have a viper, have asked me about the beautiful...

    there is justice in the world

    Been very busy with work lately, traveling quite a bit etc. not much time to drive the viper so I compensate. One of my work supplied vehicles is a PT cruiser. now before some of you scoff, when someone gives you a new vehicle, pays the insurance,maintenance and gas on it and let you use it as...

    I drove in the rain today and...

    Living in florida means you either put your car in hibernation for the rainy season or you occassionally get caught in the rain. before I bought the viper I read a post that said drive in the next higher gear than you normally would, great advice. man that bison picture has me cracking up. he...

    Another "thanks AB" thread

    months back I purchased a set of wires from AB for my 2000 rt/10. after the install I noticed a crackling sound coming from my stereo usually at idle or almost idle speeds. I posted a thread and several people responded,check connections, wire routing etc. I am very anal when it comes to my work...

    What are the odds.....

    x-vetter, glad to hear there are some more vipers coming into this area, other than the malo brothers, who own the watermark grille in naples, I was beginning to feel like the lone viper owner in a sea of vettes. we need to put together a cruise when I get back into town. and if they aren't...
