    New Owner.. Truly my dream come true!

    It's "The Saga of the Dinged Up Dodge". You can find it here: http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/667516-The-Saga-of-the-Dinged-Up-Dodge. I watched the show religiously as a kid. "Viper". The hero solved crimes while driving around in his RT/10 which could somehow change into the "Defender"...

    Trouble starting 94 RT/10

    The engine wouldn't crank if the clutch switch was broken. Was it parked for a while? I wonder if rodents chewed a wire or built a nest somewhere? Does it display a check engine light? If so, try to get the code. Do lights flash on the information cluster while you are cranking it? Did the...

    Well, that was relatively easy. I own a Viper now. Thank you all for your invaluable help over the past couple of weeks. And a special thank you for klamathpro for, well, selling me half of your Vipers. :) Best of luck on your next purchase.

    Anyone Use Their Viper Daily?

    Maybe I can impart some new-found wisdom on you. I'll tell you what everyone here told me: (1) wait for the right car to find you, and (2) pick a (fair) budget and stick to it. :) Be patient and don't let emotions like excitement get the best of you. In fact, go find my thread where I was asking...

    Twin turbo build -beware

    So... those are the air filters on the bottom of the engine, right? Now I know most Viper folk seem to avoid rain and bad weather like the plague (I'm not saying I intentionally sought out rain storms with my old Mustang either), but what happens when you're 100 miles from home and that storm...

    Stock Gen V Dyno Pulls

    Manufacturers seem to conduct vehicle testing on chassis dynos that roll all four wheels now. I'm not sure if this is what they do with the Viper, but it would make sense. Engines are tested out of the car on their own dyno.

    Brake Booster and Overheating problems at the track

    Unfortunately, I don't know anything about that pad. However, they cite its ability to work at a very high temperature effectively. It never hurts to give them a try. I'd try calling the manufacturer or the vendor to see what they recommend. They can often provide great insight into which of...

    $158 red light ticket.. the viper repair still costing me money

    I think it's funny that due process has now come down to "We have a picture of your car. You can clearly see your license plate in the photo. Also, we have affixed some numbers to the top of the picture. This proves you were speeding. This picture proves you were speeding. Now give us (and, um...

    Doctor told me not to drive my car!

    Where do you keep your wallet when you drive? If you're like me, your wallet is thick with hundreds...er, fifties...um, OK, twenties...sigh...old receipts and bubble gum wrappers. Anyway, when I have my wallet in my back pocket, there is a noticeable shift in how I sit in a car. It bends my back...

    Brake Booster and Overheating problems at the track

    OK, so you can take a four-step approach here. First, I would start with the pad. It's the cheapest way to start and I think it is the most direct. You need to make sure that the materials in your braking system are built to operate in the environment in which they are subjected. If your...

    Need help, Viper overheats.

    Maybe there's air in the cooling system. You may also check the radiator cap since it's an easy check and these have a limited lifespan. AZTVR has an interesting point about your supercharger belt. If the supercharger belt runs the rest of the accessories, could it be possible that you have...

    klamathpro, I am interested in knowing more about your car. I tried to PM you but the site was acting weird and now it appears as if your inbox is full.

    What do you guys think about this one? http://www.carsforsale.com/used_cars_for_sale/1994_Dodge_Viper_207443948_12 I love road trips. I can't imagine a more fun trip than fly and drive! I would just have to go out there prepared to buy a plane ticket home if it's not right.

    Brake Booster and Overheating problems at the track

    The braking issue you described does not seem to be fluid-related or Viper-specific. When you get water in your fluid (or when you are being really crazy and boil fluid), bubbles form in the lines near or in the calipers. These bubbles are compressible and should make your pedal feel squishy...

    Thank you for the insight. I appreciate your help. So it seems as if the cracks are possibly just a cosmetic nuisance if they're small. I am still waiting for clarification and pictures from that seller. Hopefully I'll know more in a few hours.

    So the stress cracks... he says they're in the paint, but I don't know what a stress crack comes from. I think it wouldn't be uncommon for a body part that's as big as the Viper's hood to flex a bit and crack the paint over the years. But is it a common issue for the hood itself to crack? Is a...

    I just realized that I may have posted this in the wrong forum. Maybe I should have posted in the new owner forum? I apologize if I did this wrong. But again, thanks for all your help!
