    Help! I can't remove my oil filter..

    Re: Help! I can\'t remove my oil filter.. To piggyback on Ron's comment: The K&N filter has a "nut" on the cap. To remove the filter, you just put a 1-inch socket on it and use a ratchet. No filter wrenches needed.

    New Viper Owner

    The good news is that the All-Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle is an easy one-day event from Northern Virginia. We had at least 50 Vipers there on Saturday. (Not all of them from VA, of course.) Last year we left the DC area in a mini-convoy around 6:00 AM and were checking in at Carlisle...

    The origin of "Sneaky Pete"

    Re: The origin of \"Sneaky Pete\" In his book Guts, Bob Lutz devotes a chapter to the Viper. As he's describing the search for a name for the show car they were developing, he says: "...we knew it had to be some kind of snake. "Asp" was out, since the serpent in question was too tiny...

    The search is over - Finally got my Rt/10 (pics)

    Re: The search is over - Finally got my Rt/10 I saw Gus' RT/10 Sunday -- it's a beauty! The original one-owner cars are getting scarcer and scarcer, and Gus was fortunate to find one reasonably close. He's a lucky guy --two classic Vipers, both in relatively rare colors. Congratulations, Gus!

    selling dreamcar how much?

    I think $48-52K is a good starting price. You don't want to give the car away unless a quick sale is absolutely necessary. The number of super clean, excellent condition cars dwindles each day, and the last time I looked, Dodge wasn't building any more of these. Plus it's a rare one-year color...

    Racedeck Flooring

    Re: Racedeck Flooring I used the Race Deck flooring in my garage and I've received nothing but compliments. Upside -- easily installed (I did my 24x24 floor myself in about 7 hours), looks great, changeable if you want. Downside -- not a good choice for a working garage (jacks, stands will...

    1997 GTS

    Frankly, I'm surprised that 97 blue/white RT/10 is selling for below $60K. I don't think $56,500 is too high for a car that's 1 of 53 or so. A 97 with 4500 miles is low mileage. When the Viper dust finally settles years from now, the cars with the highest resale will be the '92's, the 100 '98...

    VOI-9 ..........Salt Lake City.

    Bill's suggestion is worth considering. The traffic in Dallas/Ft Worth was a major PITA, so perhaps someplace off the beaten path is a better alternative. Although we're probably a year away from a VOI-9 announcement, one thing's for sure: Whenever they do finalize it, this board will be...

    vca membership

    I don't have you on my member roster for the Virginia-Maryland region. If this is, in fact, your fourth new SRT-10 Viper purchased in your name, you should already be a member. Apparently your dealer is not completing all the correct paperwork to get your free membership processed. I suggest you...

    Anyone tried the "US Speed" Floor mats?

    Re: Anyone tried the My NorCal mats rolled up under the pedals. I haven't driven the car enough with the US Speed ones, so I can't tell if they'll roll up. The lack of a rear hatch release notch in the mats did not seem to be a problem on my car.

    Anyone tried the "US Speed" Floor mats?

    Re: Anyone tried the I bought a set with the yellow edge trim. They look good, and definitely are a decent value for the cost. Not as thick as the ones I had from Maurice, and certainly not in the same class as the Snake Oyl tapestry mats. But considering the price, I'd call them a decent...

    A Nice Thanks from one of the Security Guards

    I wonder if the guard was speaking from past experience with the owners of other cars (like specifically the Italian Auto Show coming later this month to the Gaylord Texan)?

    The figure quoted at the Presidents meeting was 600 Vipers and 1200 people for VOI-8. I recall that it was 850 Vipers and 1500 people for VOI-7.
