    Question

    I raced at an 1/8th mile strip last summer. It is very hard to do well there as the Viper is just hooking up by the end of the strip! People would get the jump on me and I would be passing them (very quickly) by the end of the strip. Sorry, but the track I was at did not time our...

    Question for those with Hurst "Roll Control"

    Question for those with Hurst \"Roll Control\" I had my roll control installed today. The button to activate it is located on my shifter. When I'm driving down the road, it vibrates and drives me crazy...it is made of plastic- it doesn't seem very high quality. I have to hold my finger on it...

    BTR Viper Customer Service=A+++

    I took my 98 GTS to the Dodge dealership yesterday to have my BTR Nirous kit installed. Yesterday afternoon, they called me saying that a braded hose was missing from the NOS kit and the TPS selionoid was banged up due to shipping. I called Tom Welch and told him of the problem. He...

    Shift Light

    Pill kits come in a packet of about 5 different RPM "pills". You should check out summitracing.com to find the one you want. Tim

    Shift Light

    I bought an Auto Meter shift light from Summit Racing. They have to recalibrate it for the Viper's V10. I forget exactly how much it cost, but it was reasonably inexpensive...$150? Also, you have to buy "pill kits" seperately for it-they plug into the shift light, and tell it at what RPM you...

    Install of MSD wires

    The cowl and windshield wipers must be removed...even then it is hard to get to them, but it can be done. I put MSD's in my 98 a month ago. Tim

    Anyone tried the K&N Performance Injection kit ??

    Sean, I have the K&N kit that you are referring to. It was easy to install, and makes a cool whistling sound when you hit the gas petal. I have not dynoed it yet, so I don't know te exact performance results. Tim (Pic Below)

    How much vandalism can be expected?

    I was at the movie theater with my girlfriend, and when we came back out, all four of my tires were flat. I have a Viper brand alarm, and it went off. Whoever did it didn't slash the tires-rather they just held down the air valve and let all of the air out! The AAA guy came and filled my...

    Thinking about going from Vette to Viper

    I traded in a 98 C5 for my 98 GTS. The Viper is unbelievably faster, handles better (in my opinion), and turns 5 times as many heads as the Vette did. Not bad for picking up girls either... Tim

    HMS = Good product + Bad service??

    I was just scrolling around his web site and saw it and ordered it. I realise I could have (and probably should have) ordered it from Summit etc. It is not really a big deal, and I would probably still order products from HMS, as I believe he sells quality products. Tim

    POLL: After seeing new photos, who likes the 2003 look?

    I like it, and will probably purchase a GTS when they come out. Although, I do agree that the hood resembles a Camaro, and the styling is not as wicked as the GTS-R concept. The Gen I and II Vipers have that unmistakable Viper look. They are real head-turners, and I am afraid that this car...

    HMS = Good product + Bad service??

    I unfortuantely had the same type of poor customer service when ordering 2 bottles of water wetter from HMS. I waited 1 month for them to ship the order, I then called HMS and the operator said that the order had not yet been filled. She then immediately sent it out to me. Not a big deal...

    Couple more questions....Fog lights & Glovebox

    Laurie, I'm not sure if the 98 GTS has the same headlight operation as your 94, but to turn the fog lights on with just the parking lights, you simply turn the switch to the parking light position and pull it out toward you. This will turn the fog lights on-even when your headlights are off...

    Headers

    I have Borla headers and cat-back...I had the cat back installed first. The cat back made the most sound difference...the headers did not make the car any louder-although the power difference was noticable only after the headers were installed. Tim

    Viper daily drivers

    I would reccomend the GTS as a daily driver-more water and wind proof. Beware of driving in the rain...very slippery. Tim

    New to Forum

    Welcome, Dave! Where's Shavertown PA? I am in Pittsburgh, and have met a lot of great Viper owners around here. About your question: I believe the first couple of years of production for the Gen 3 will be RT/10's (Removable top), and if you plan on owning a GTS, your best bet would be to...

    Borla Exhaust

    I have Borla headers and cat back exhaust and am very pleased. I still have the cats in place. Car sounds great....had a problem with the heaeders vibrating...had to put a shim under the right motor mount of the car to stop this. I have heard of a few others that have had this problem...not...
