    Strips yes or no? Opinions wanted

    I ask this question every time I take my Viper out. Most girls say = No stripes Most guys say = I like the stripes When I bought my Viper, I did not want stripes. But now they have grown on me. I think one of the best looking cars in the Kansas City club is a Yellow GTS with Silver stripes...

    Which of you has HRE 547's or 546's -- photos please

    Re: Which of you has HRE 547\'s or 546\'s -- photos please Ben, are your rims chrome or polished? They look REAL good. I know there has been a lot of talk on HREs breaking with no warranty if used for racing. Ryck, you don't need to worry about breaking an HRE, I think you have to drive the...

    Leaking Oil Pan on 1996 GTS

    Here is the problem. Many Vipers get the front timing cover water leak. The repairs call for Timing Cover Gasket. But then you have disturbed the oil pan gasket. The timing cover sits on top of the front of the oil pan. Any gasket that is disturbed after being seated needs to be replaced. The...

    got a new toy

    So many of the Supra guys like Vipers So many of the Viper guys like Lambos I REALLY like the Diablo. I think it is a great looking car. The only part I am not sure about is the rear wheel arch. It is not a round arch. My eyes are always pulled towards the straight edge of the arc. Kind of kit...

    Rear end whine

    You sure it's the rear end and not the transmisson? Vipers do make a little noise.

    WOOOHOOO!!!! Got it!

    Yep... those are original 17". The profile of the rear tire looks lower than stock. It may just be the angle of the picture. That is a NICE looking car. My favorite year :)

    Accident on the drag strip

    Many policies will not cover any claims once you enter the "racing facility". This includes the parking lot. You need to read the fine print. Joe has a good point. If your car hits a by-stander, then you have real trouble on your hands. If your insurance is void at the track, they can come...

    K&N filters and smooth tubes

    It's funny that a new guys asks about "Wear and Tear" with K&Ns. This doesn't get mentioned much here but it sure does across the internet on other forums. I have heard many real gear heads say "My car is a driver, not a race car, too much dirt with KNs" Lots of KN competitors have...

    So There Was A Video That Came With The Viper When Purcahsed New??

    I think the Videos are all the same. I watched one from a 2002 and it was the same 1998 Video.

    Anyone ever seen a Viper with Scissor Doors?

    WOW... I was just in the garage looking to do the same thing! I like Lambo style doors. Viper hoods extended beyond the doors and would make the conversion more work. I am ready to see some pictures if anyone gets this done. Jerry

    Mysterious Water Leak!

    Big C, Many Vipers leak. What you describe is most likely the windshield below the plastic windshield cowling. You can seal this with silicone RTV. If the side windows are leaking this would be obvious, you get water in the seat. Have someone sit in there and try to make them wet with a...

    Guys I need assistance please!

    Adam, I really like these cars. I may one day want to buy one. Have you ever owned one? The quality of some of the components is very bad. The car is extremely “kitcarish”. Electrical issues seem to be a big complaint. Parts and repairs are very expensive. We get spoiled driving Vipers. We go...

    What is a Nice 98-99 GTS Going For?

    The only Viper I want are 98 and 99's I would never consider an even trade for a 2000 or 2001. These are creampuffs. Vipers are not like traditional daily driver cars. You can actually pay more for an older car. Many of us are now doing lots of mods to our cars. NOS and Supercharging...

    FINAL EDITION GTS VIPERS.......PRICELESS

    I thought the 02FE would generate some interest but wanted to see a Blue and White FE. Come in(1996) and go out(2002) with a Blue/White Viper GTS. I would want one. But the 02FE was not a success right now. You can still buy a brand new one today. They are still in show rooms. They are selling...

    Power steering pump cap fix?

    I am not sure the cap is supposed to come apart like that. I checked mine over the summer, no dip stick. I sucked the fluid out and the inner stem was at the base of the pump housing. I purchased a replacement. I am looking at this HIPO tube. If it keeps your cap from turning, how do you...

    Over Matched? (Photo)

    I know of lots of guys running on plugs at VERY VERY high speeds. The problem you can run into is that many shops will not plug a performance tire. Liability comes into play.

    "Broken" D-Ring on my remote

    Re: Ray, Are you talking about the plastic piece that the metal ring goes through? Since you have a 1998, you should have the larger style keyfob. Two buttons with 90 degree angles on the top. New style is more rounded and smaller. I have a keyfob that the base is broken on... It sounds...

    Oh no he's back DOLPHIN MAN!

    Re: Oh no he\'s back DOLPHIN MAN! The actual artwork looks great. For me...It does not belong on any car. 94 Diablo...That car is worth about 115k. I would give lots less compared to a factory painted car. Maybe I am just weird and some people like the dolphins.

    ?'s Regarding 1996 GTS w/salvage title???

    Re: ?\'s Regarding 1996 GTS w/salvage title??? SW did have some good points. Some banks WILL NOT loan and some insurance companies WILL NOT insure these type of vehicles. This limits the resale. But if you can get a loan and insurance..then you are OK. Salavage is when it costs $1 or more to...
