    Driving light covers?

    Assuming they're all the same no matter what year.... I would recommend you be careful. As Wilddude said, you can take em out and clean them. However, if you start poking around with a screwdriver trying to pry the tabs out, you can very easily ruin the seal. Then you'll get water inside...

    Single pipe exhaust?

    I'm not sure if the picture posted by OrecaGTS was the same one I saw, but it looks just like a single-exhaust Viper I've seen twice at Gingerman. Except for the exhaust, the car was nice. Unfortunately, it sounded terrible and was probably one of the loudest Vipers I've heard.

    OPTIMA BATTERY

    I installed an Optima 800U in my 94 a couple months ago. It fit with about 1/2 inch clearance.

    Head work

    Strictly looking at this from a math standpoint, you should not take RWHP and add 15% to it. That will give you a low horsepower figure at the flywheel. What you should do is take your RWHP figure and divide it by .85, because your RWHP is 85% of the flywheel HP. Basically, you are...

    How much is an RT/10 Bumper cover worth??

    I checked on a new front fascia for my 94, and my local dealer was gonna charge me $800. I took a gander at the Gen 2 front fascia pricing, and they were over $3000! Of course, that could be marked up really high. JonB could probably tell you how much the factory part would cost.

    Brake Dust ?????

    You could try using clay-bar on your rims. My wheels are chromed as well. I used clay-bar to get rid of all the dust and metallic shavings, then used the Zaino treatment like JMcGuire suggests. It worked great. In fact, I then proceeded to clay-bar and Zaino the rims on my other cars as well.

    Spark Plugs

    Okay, forgive me if this is a stupid question. Looking at the Moroso index washers from Jegs, there are kits with tapered and flat washers. Do I order both styles, or only one? How many kits should I order? What's the scoop?

    Gen 1 semi-daily driver?

    I've only had my 94 for about 3 months, but I've driven it 4000 miles so far. This includes rain and several long trips. I LOVE IT! Before I got the car, I never expected to drive it to work much. Now, it's hard for me to stay out of the car for more than one day. One thing I could...

    Viper War 6 at GingerMan Raceway Aug 18 & 19

    I'll be there on Saturday to spectate and support the Viper clan! This will be my second trip to Gingerman (spectated the Viper Days event several weeks ago) and I agree that the track is very nice.

    Driving in rain

    The very first day I had my 94, I drove it home about 500 miles. It was nice and sunny, so of course the top was off. I pulled into a gas staion, and my girlfriend made some comment about "dark skies ahead". I only half listened, and went inside with nary a thought. One minute after I came...

    Low idle and stalling problem

    My 94 is stalling and cutting out when I slow down for stop lights. I found an old "Stump the gurus" post related to this: http://vca1.viperclub.org/ubb/Forum20/HTML/000022.html#2 After the car warms up, the idle appears to be low (under 500 rpms). Prior to warming up, it idles just above...

    CAR STALLING

    Okay, my 94 is doing the same thing. After the car warms up, the idle appears to be low (under 500 rpms). Prior to warming up, it idles just above 500. After warming, about 20% of the time when I slow or stop, the tach will drop all the way to 0 and the car stalls. If I turn the ignition...

    Gen I Gas Mileage results for 2500 miles

    Sounds close to me. I get 22 mpg on the highway, and about 13 in the city. Of course, I always keep my foot out of it and shift at 2000 rpms.....um, yeah right......

    Intermittant headlights...what's going on?

    Re: Intermittant headlights...what\'s going on? Where is the "headlight switch" that's got the circuit breaker? Is it part of the headlight cluster, or is it located somewhere else? I don't like driving in the rain, but if water is getting on it I want to replace it or do something to keep it...

    Intermittant headlights...what's going on?

    Intermittant headlights...what\'s going on? Driving back from out of town, all my lights would temporarily go out (headlights, running lights, fog lights). After about 1 minute, they would all come back on. This happened several times. I know because I was following a friend of mine who was...

    Thanks from a new Viper owner...and a question

    I just wanted to extend my thanks to everyone on this board. I've been reading posts here for about 6 months, and the info provided here helped me make an informed decision on purchasing a 94 black RT/10 this past weekend. You guys ROCK! Now the question: for street driving only (I won't...

    Can someone lend some advice please?

    I understand your pain. I'm a network engineer in Indiana and make around the same as you. Since the cost of living here is pretty good, I make do with the money. I'm getting ready to purchase my Viper next week, and I've been planning for about 2 years. I just sold my 95 Firebird...

    Any good Viper techs near St. Louis?

    I'm contemplating the purchase of a Viper near St. Louis, but I want to get it checked out first. Does anyone know a shop in the St. Louis area I can get this car to?

    Another title question from a potential owner....

    I'm contemplating the purchase of a 94 RT so I ran a CarFax. The title was clean, but man was there a bunch of title issues. I'm talking 13 of them! I've spoken to the current owner and the dealer he got it from. The dealer said that, depending on the state and title slip, a new title could...
