    Anyone going to the Mopar Nationals?

    Is anyone here planning on attending the Mopar Nationals August 8th-11th? I'm going and I was just curious if anyone else here is. I wasn't sure if this belonged here or not, I figured the Moderators would move it if they didn't like it here.

    He's back! (how & pics)

    Re: He\'s back! (how & pics) Congratulations on getting your baby back on the road Nadine. It's worth all the sweat (and probably a little blood) when you turn that ignition key and fire your baby up and start cruising down the road.

    Rear Wheel Drive Models from Damlier/Chrysler

    I can't say about the Hemi's in cars, but this friday we start regular production of the Hemi powered Ram trucks. I still haven't got to drive one, but I talked with the guy who drove one out on the test track and he said "I punched it in 4th gear (Manual trans) and the tires broke loose."...

    pics of new snake and ram

    Cool Pics! Great color choice. Obviously you like the Graphite color. So how do you like the Ram? Just curious because I work in the plant that built it. St. Louis North Assembly Plant is the only plant that builds the Std Cab Rams, at least that's what they tell us, and DC wouldn't lie would...

    Sidepipe muffler size?

    I put 22 inch case length Thrush glasspacks on my 94 (2.5 straight through). I resused the factory rear muffler brackets and welded them to the new mufflers. The only thing I changed on the tips was to remove the alignment pin (which I could have cut a slot for in the new mufflers). "Quote" The...

    front spoiler? (pic)

    It's available from Autoform directly or you can get it through Parts Rack from Jon B. I'd always wanted to put that spoiler on my 94 and it on my list of future mods to my 97 GTS.

    Brain damage from GTS Viper!

    Congrats on joing the 97 GTS club! If being Viper crazy causes brain damage, then there's no hope for me. Like tomer said, the smooth tubes are an easy do it yourself job.

    Arrow Rebuild.................Help!!!!

    Doing without the car for a while is well worth what you're going to get out of the deal. Go for the Arrow rebuild! The time will fly by and you'll be better off in the long run. Besides, it will probably take less time right now because most people try to wait till winter. (Arrow is supposed...

    OFFICIAL SRT-10 POLL!!! THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN?

    My vote on whether I like the SRT or not is a definite "No"! It's simply not a car I lust for. If you don't compare it to a Gen 1 or Gen II Viper, it looks okay. It's just not a Viper IMO. As far as some people saying it will out perform a Gen II, that remains to be seen.

    YELLOW FEVER Strikes JonB !!

    Congratulations Jon! Yellow would be the only other color that I would want (other than Red). I've got some pics of a Yellow GTS with White Stripe (Marcus from KC). It's a great combination too. I'll post them as soon as I can dig out the disc.

    1994 viper question

    The very first run at the track with my previous Viper (a 94) was a 12.45 @ 112 mph. The next run was a 12.30 @ 112 mph with a 1.75 60 ft time. The only mods the car had were K&N air filters, smooth tubes and theh stock mufflers were replaced with glasspacks. It had Michelin Mxx3's tires set at...

    Dynoed My 97 GTS Today

    I took my 97 GTS to get a baseline dyno today after work. So far the only mods on it are K&N air filters and some type of rear muffler delete kit (straight pipes). The muffler delete that it has seems like a waste to me because it uses 2.25 inch pipe instead of keeping it 2.5 inch. (Dumb in my...

    SAVE HOOSIER TIRES! **** government!

    Done! I don't know about anyone else, but I'm tired of the government trying to "Idiot proof" every product in the world. If you do something stupid you pay the price for it, you don't blame someone else.

    Goodbye 94 RT and hello 97 GTS!!!

    Congratulations Kurt! I know what you mean about the GTS feeling completely different. (Since I just made the change myself). Like you, I loved my 94, but I love the GTS even more (if that's possible). It feels smoother, quieter, more responsive. Simply just more refined. Enjoy your new ride!

    totaled rebuild update

    Good luck with getting your Snake back together Nadine! Just be patient and your hard work will pay off and you'll be driving it again soon.

    This is one reason why the VIN Registry is so important.

    I know what you mean about cars (Vipers especially) that are totaled but still have clean titles. A friend of mine just built a Red 2001 GTS that was totaled (major frame damage), but still has a clean title. It even shows up clean on a carfax (one reason I don't hold much faith in carfax)...

    98 GTS for 56K

    That sounds like Mark Liccardello's car. Awesome looking car! I talked to him about it, it was just a little more than the budget I was trying to stay in. Here are a few pics. As far as price, another Red 98 GTS with 4,200 miles (Stock) that was on the VCA Classifieds that was local to me...

    I talked to Bruce Venable in Ohio about a Blue 96 GTS that has had the white stripes painted out before I bought my Red 97 GTS. There's an ad for it in Hemmings. The asking price was $45,995, the car has 17K miles on it. The phone numbers are (513) 931-7678 or (703) 960-6682 or email at...

    Bought a Red 97 GTS Coupe!

    Made a trip to Indianapolis today to buy a Red (is there another color?) 97 GTS Coupe. Just like when I bought my 94, it rained the entire trip (except for a few minutes when we first arrived at the dealership). I have to say, as much as I loved the 94 roadster, I love everything about the...
