    Viper re-purchased for only faulty window seal?

    I'm on my second replacement for the passenger side. The dealer said it was a "fluke", and I couldn't find anything on the VCA website --- 'till now. At $300 each, I'm wondering if this is a "problem"?

    DLM VIPER VS Huybusa!!!

    The rest of the story... 220MPH on the Speedo of that Bike is REALLY 163MPH. 140MPH is around 110MPH. Pulling a wheelie to 110MPH is respectable, but that video clip is a known fake done with a 135% spedo mis-calibration, and NOT shifting to 6th. But hey, don't believe me, after all...

    Viper specs

    The "lowest point" on my STOCK 2001 RT is 3-1/2" (front spoiler). The Frame is at 3-3/4". Measurements are wiht NO ONE in the car. Basically, if there is a 4x4 board on the road, I won't clear it. ...makes you think twice about following someone too close on the freeway - they'll clear it...

    ARGH!! Repair front fascia, or find a used one???

    Yes, the holes are to give it more to hang on to. We don't want the "stress" from a light curb strike to crack it loose too easily! FYI: I tried to get a body shop to do it "my way"...no one would touch it. 1) Too much time to do it right 2) Too afraid they wouldn't do it right and the TPO...

    ARGH!! Repair front fascia, or find a used one???

    I punched a 2: hole in my facia - fixed it for about $90 - good as new! Duramix: http://www.handsontools.com/store/show_product/?product_id=9501 Buy it from you local wholesale automotive paint store. Be sure to get the TPO type. You'll want to chamfer the edges of the tear 45 degrees (a...

    RT/10 Stolen from Garage!!!

    I lost a (non-viper) sports car 20 years ago when I went on a trip - it was in storage. The Insurance Co. wasn't giving me full value, and I had about 1,000 hours of restoration into it... So I hunted - every Sunday morning at 5am... for a MONTH. Guess what - I found the custom crafted rims on...

    Speeding Ticket Stories

    I knew Saphire vipers were faster in REAL WORLD applications than yeller' ones! :D I have four officers (cops) within 100' of my house. One say's "let me grab my badge, and we'll go for a run!" - cool. :) Another (privately) askes me how fast I've driven the viper... my response - never...

    Worst day of my life I lost my snake!

    Don't let the insurance company tell you that "joy-riding" isn't theft! Criminally, I think the DA needs to show he had no intent to return the car to you, so I don't see the DA following through on that - the DA will most likely have NO PROBLEM with joy-riding - which is still "theft", just...

    E mail Viper survey, is it legit?

    DCX.com looks legit, BUT: This does seam "odd" for several reasons: - There's no phone number - He's providing an "AOL" address as an alternate - The questions are mostly of a "negative" nature, I'd say he's NOT in marketing. - The due date is today?! My advice: e-mail him at DCX (not AOL)...

    Here's another quality repliviper

    Re: Here\'s another quality repliviper I thought CAMARO too! - had to look up an '86 vette to be sure - and yes, right down to the rear break light on the top and four screws throrough the rear glass! So... no side mirrors? That's legal... I've always wondered what you could do with 40...

    Three quick questions

    Fuel: No warning light, unless you call the engine light a warning (when it stops running). Heat: Under strong acceleration, you'll get heat out the dashboard vents (this happens due to vacuum loss and the damper switches from floor to dashboard - or so I've heard, on the other hand, I've only...
