    WILBER SHOCKS- Anyone use them?

    The secret to getting the Viper suspension dialed in is to allow your suspension to function over it's full range of travel. The rear, especially, has very little travel available, and if you want your Viper to ride well and handle well, you need to be able to use every bit of that tiny travel...

    WILBER SHOCKS- Anyone use them?

    I went down a similiar path, and could share my experience. I sold my 03 with stock shocks and purchased a used 09 with KW shocks. It was nice to be able to lower the 09, but I was never impressed with the KW's as being much of an improvement over the stocks. They always felt bound up, like...

    Observations about the VCA - this is good

    Not sure just how to put this, but In my opinion, Maurice would most likely win any election for President of VCA. This could end this whole fiasco about two clubs at the drop of a ballot. Other board members could come from the current board members of both clubs that are of like mind, and this...

    Anodized Carbon Special Edition!!

    SRT and Motor Village LA threw a very nice party for the SoCal club to come and see this special car at the LA auto show. While the car looks in pictures like a matte finish, it has a clear coat that can be waxed, just like any other finish. It shows off all the curves and special details...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    Mi Viper. Thanks for this perspective. I believe that most (but not all) would believe that one strong club would be much better that two smaller clubs, each at the others throat all the time. I sincerely have enjoyed all the great times had over the past years, with club events, where...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    When you guys hear the latest news on VPA you are going to wish you never brought this up. Bob. If you PM me with your e-mail I'll give you the scoop. Not sure exactly why these guys care how much the VCA is paying anybody. If I was them I would be more worried about how much Maurice is going...

    performance pages not available

    At the SRT All-Access driving event with the Gen V's they noticed the same thing. They had it when they were in Phoenix, but when the set up in San Diego they were gone. Maybe it is just a glitch that will sort itself out. They were baffled that it was there one day, and gone the next. Maybe it...

    Personal VCA Renewal Decision

    Specifically, only Ralph has made it pretty clear that he does not like VCA. He is a very close personal friend of Maurice who is in charge of the new VOA Club. Most of the other members of SRT say nothing but good things about the VCA. For years we have done events with them. Every other year...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    Jon. Just for the record, I would like to post my own financial dealings with VCA as a Western Zone Director under two different administrations. I always paid my own way to and from all Board of Directors meetings (usually using airline miles), VOI's, any regional events, and never received a...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    Jon. Good to hear from you here too. Guess I am just an amateur baiter. As far as Moparboyy posts, we need to stop taking them seriously. He is posting over on the VOA forum how much fun he has been having screwing with our forum. Even the other posters over there were calling him a bit of a...

    SRT All-Access in San Diego

    You should still be able to get into the next event in Anaheim on the 12th. Follow the link in the original post or call 248 553 2458. This event really gives you a pretty good idea of how the different models will suit your needs. To check out the TA suspension, closest you might find...

    SRT All-Access in San Diego

    A big thanks to SRT for inviting us over for your All-Access event at Petco park. SRT arrived in two huge car haulers with 6 impressive Gen V Vipers. Each Viper was set up in a different way. They ranged from a top of the line GTS with beautiful Laguna Leather. It felt like sitting in a well...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    My disappointment is that the VOA fan boys are descending on this website like a pack of wolves to rip and tear apart the VCA membership supporters. They make the same claims over and over, but no answer is ever good enough for them. They have no interest in listening to reason, but just keep...

    Ralph wants/needs an automatic

    While the new transmissions are technological marvels, they do isolate you from that Direct Connection many say is the best feature of a Viper. Not all that often do they put a stop watch (that is for the magazines) to their 0-60 times, but every time they get in the car they get that feeling...

    New Viper Owner introducing myself

    Welcome from your Viper Brothers in SoCal. 97 was a great year for Viper. Super classic looks, great engine and drive line. Pay attention to the brakes if you want to take it to the track. Do not see where you are from, but good idea to take it to who ever works the most on Vipers in your...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    Getting really tired of these VOA fan boys attacking VCA. Not much going on over there, so this seems where they are drawn Think they would go an play in their own sand box. Seems like they have nothing better to do as their current website is dead as a door nail. They are still VCA members I...

    What are the VCA plans for events etc. for 2014?

    Anybody saying anything bad about Mary has got to have their own issues or making things up to damage the club. Mary is one of the best things ever to happen to the ViperClub. When Fiona and Kim were taken away from ViperClub support, Mary stepped in and has to be the hardest working, most...

    18k - too many miles?

    Does not really make sense on a Viper, as the miles do not really affect the ride much, however for most exotics everybody wants a "low miles, one owner" car. They fetch a premium.

    The definative answer why New Vipers are NOT selling!

    Just made me cringe.

    How will the Gen V perform as a collectible that retains value over time?

    If you can tell me what the price of gasoline, insurance, and if internal combustions vehicles will be allowed on the roads in 20 years, you will be better able to predict the future value of Vipers. Best to just buy them and enjoy them. If they go up in value, so much the better. Used Vipers...

    3.55 gears ?

    Nothing more fun than a Viper with just a little (but only a little) too much gear in the rear. Dan's post above is kinda a bible for gear selection. As an illustration I put a 3:54 in my 03, and it was just about perfect for street and occasional drag strip driving. Then Dan put on a Paxton...

    Personal VCA Renewal Decision

    Brian. I am being serious here, and know a lot of the people that are working behind the scenes to reform the VCA and make it a place that the members would feel more comfortable. If you could please tell me which specific items were instrumental in leaving the VCA (10 year member) and going...

    Heads/Cam or Paxton?

    Low Boost Super charger Vs Heads/Cam packages are totally different beasts, except for the prices and power produced being fairly the same. The will drive different, sound different, produce totally different driver experiences, make power at different points, and generally be two different...
