    Paranoid About Taking My Viper on Vacation

    I'm planning on taking a roadtrip from Arizona to northern California soon but keep getting hungup with concerns about leaving my Viper overnight at motels. Also, I plan on visiting a girlfriend in Stockton who lives in an average apartment complex, and I think to myself "there is no way I'd...

    Aluminum Low Profile Jack for $199

    I bought the Harbor Freight one about 2 months ago and like it. I paid $179.00 for the floor model. It lifts my 6600 lb. Viper just fine!

    found screw stuck to magnet on engine oil drain plug

    I just changed my engine oil this evening, and when I removed the drain plug there was a small Phillips head screw stuck to the magnet on the drain plug. Do I dare drive it? Does anyone know where it came from? The baffle perhaps? I have a picture of it but I dont know how to post pics. Thanks, Jim

    This car is going to get me thrown in jail

    I was out driving the Viper today (had it 3 months to the day), just enjoying my new Corsa exhaust and RT cats, great setup I must say. I'm on my way home and I glance to the vehicle pacing me to my left....to my surprise I see three hotties in a Mercedes just going nuts and checking me out...

    How Loud is it?

    I just finished installing RT cats and a corsa this weekend. Thank god for inventing the sawlsall! Anyway, as far as loudness goes its just right. I'd say it's comparably load as my neigbors '72 Camaro with headers and full exhaust. Very healthy sound. Jim

    Cat Question

    Jon B is right. You will have to cut the exhaust just before the cat. Then if your RT cats are 3" you'll need a reducer before the cat. If your Corsa cat back system is 3", you'll have to cut off the reducer before the resonator that clamps to the stock cat and use a "bridge" between the new cat...

    Diff. Assy Change....Question!

    Jim, I too am looking to buy one. Based on all of the research that I have done to date, it seems that 3.55's (I think 3.54 is actually the ratio) are the way to go. If your contact has more than one available, please let me know. Thanks, Jim

    heat shield on RT cats

    Just got my high flow RT cats from Partsrack. I noticed they have what looks like a heat shield that goes half way around the circumference of the cat. I would think that they should be mounted with the heat shield facing the cockpit. But then I remember reading several posts about heat from the...

    Dumb wheel question

    Geees....The day I spend 5k for wheels is the day I spend 70k for a car! Oh...wait a minute. Jim

    Cat Back and High Flow....

    Glad your mods went well. I just ordered the same stuff (except for the fan upgrade) from John at Parts Rack yesterday and can't wait to install it. The way you described the exhaust sound is exactly what I'm looking for. How noticable is the increase in power? Jim

    2001 GTS Exhaust Puking Steam

    Thanks for the advice Tom. I will give Eddie Martin a call. I've heard good things about his mechanical abilities with Vipers. Tempe Dodge has given me nothing but bad service so its real easy for me to rag on them. Also, the added adrenalin gets me going.....all better now (well almost). Jim

    2001 GTS Exhaust Puking Steam

    I don't know how to start this message because I am so pissed right now I'm shaking. I just went to start my 2001 GTS that I bought new on May 19. Well I noticed that it was a bit hard to start and when it did it blew a bunch of gray smoke out of the passenger side exhaust. The gray smoke...

    Buying 2000 rt-10 from dealer, worried, need help fast!!!

    I am by no means an expert on Vipers (I just bought mine about a month ago from Tempe Dodge), but I would be glad to take a look at it for you. Just let me know. I live in Peoria which is a suburb of Phoenix. Jim

    Top Speed

    Hello All, I just purchased a new 2001 GTS about a month ago and I think that I'm going to need plastic sugery to remove the permanent smile from my face! One slight bummer though...Last weekend I took it out for some high speed runs and it would ONLY go about 155 mph. Any ideas regarding what...
