    Dropping from third gear into second - What can you get away with?

    The key is starting out gentle and learning the car's limits. Here's how my 3-2 shifts go: (say I'm at 45 mph or so) -Clutch in -Give the throttle a sharp tap to match the RPMs to where they will be when you hit second, which is probably ~4k in a stock car. -Let the clutch out...

    Gen1 Soft Top

    Tim- check where the sides meet the back of the softtop, there are clips that slide back to release the sides, which should then fold on. It fits in the trunk with some wrestling. :-) obaa- If you pull off a good design for a "temp top" you'll make a good deal of money before you knew what...

    Dropping from third gear into second - What can you get away with?

    With stock gearing, 2nd will take you significantly higher than 60 mph.

    ??Wheel cleaning question??

    Superbar- Are you refering to chrome rims in general? The wheels in question on this thread (late OEM) are not actually chrome, they are highly polished and clearcoated.

    VIPER OWNERS UNDER 30

    SnakeBitten, check the General Viper board for the "young owner" post. Plenty owners in the teens and low 20s. Mine was one the few that stated "no help from dad". :) Now let's not resurrect that thread here!

    VIPER OWNERS UNDER 30

    23, clean record. Under $900/yr, Phila Suburbs. That rate will be lower when I suspend coverage for the winter months. I also insure my daily driver and house thru the same company (allstate).

    Gen 1 adding hood louvers?

    Is it just the look you want, or the function? If all you're after is better cooling, how about opening up the "speaker" on the left side.

    Newbie scores cherry Viper

    I waited until the seller and I had agreed on a price and made arrangements to go pick the car up, then I posted my "yay I finally got one!" post. Then the seller backed out. However it was all for the best, as later that month I got a FAR superior car from Bill P! So again, best of luck...

    Isn't it amazing how sharp and appealing Gen. 1 cars still look...

    Re: Isn\'t it amazing how sharp and appealing Gen. 1 cars still look... Good point, had never thought of it that way. A classic Jag is still a beautiful car today, whereas a Lambo from the same age just looks old.

    Are you vain?What do you tell people when they ask what year your Gen I is?

    When the guy's demeanor changed when you told him what year your Viper was, you should have immediately asked him what year his Viper was.

    Isn't it amazing how sharp and appealing Gen. 1 cars still look...

    Re: Isn\'t it amazing how sharp and appealing Gen. 1 cars still look... PS After almost three months of ownership, my take on it is: "After you've owned a Viper, everything else is just a car."

    Isn't it amazing how sharp and appealing Gen. 1 cars still look...

    Re: Isn\'t it amazing how sharp and appealing Gen. 1 cars still look... Amen! IMHO, the only thing holding back the Gen I was the wheels. I got mine with wheels from a '01 and viola. I'd say 95% of people I come across (including "car people"), can't spot the major differences between Gen...

    Any suggestions on how to lower the temp from redline in the hot climate?

    Running that hot on the highway? That ain't good. I'm usually well below the 190 point after a few mins of highway cruising. Definately burp the system... instructions for doing so can easily be found around here. We had several days of 95+ degree heat here in Philly and even in heavy...
