    Dealer cannot find PN for 3.55 gear speedo box. Can anyone help?

    Dont think its a Mopar part either. DC Performance has them in stock for $125. Link below. http://www.dcperformance.com/PageManager/Default.aspx/PageID=476549&NF=1

    Horrible gas mileage!!!!!

    I found a calculator somewhere on VCAs website a while back, but I dont remember where. The new top end was in the high 170's or low 180's. I got my car up to 170 after the gear swap and it was still pulling before I had to slow down. Its a great upgrade for most Viper owners. My highway mileage...

    Has Valentine Lost Ground to the competition?

    With no front plate he'd be lucky to get you even at a quarter mile. Lasers dont work so well on sleek cars with no plate and small headlights. Now an H2 or Escalade with a nice shiny chrome grill...thats another story.

    97 B/W Viper GTS on ebay with 25 miles

    The car has most likley has not been driven, at least not recently. Im originally from Illinois and that style plate has not been used since 2000. Agree that the miles are too low, buy it only if you are a collector. Wonder if Dakota is looking for a 97?

    And you thought YOUR car got attention?

    Ill go against the grain, its not all that great looking, and Im not just saying that because I cant afford it. Ill be surprised if its around in 10 years, or if anyone even remembers it. Ill take take 3 GTS's over the GT any day, but the S7 is a different story, its just awesome looking.

    Pulling hard at 100MPH+

    I couldnt believe that mine was still pulling at 170. If it wasnt for the semi about 3 miles ahead of me I would have been able to top it out. DAMN I love my Viper! Before anyone gives me crap, this was on a nearly empty strech of desert highway, visibility for miles, and I checked the car...

    Has Valentine Lost Ground to the competition?

    I should be getting my X50 tomorrow. Im sure its a pretty even match up with the V1. Nice thing about the X50 though, the readout comes in your choice of red of blue LEDs. Never really liked the casing/look of the V1, but agree that the arrows are nice.

    road trip with viper... where to stay/park overnight??

    Also, most hotels/motels nowadays have security cameras, try to park your ride where it is in view of the cameras. Car cover also a good idea, but of course, remove all valuables from inside. Congrats on your purchase. Once youre an MD Im sure youll have quite the collection of cars, good...

    Bounce off the BUGS!

    Great tip! Couldnt you have posted it sooner? I just spent a TON of time getting the bugs off my bumper. Ive actually heard a lot of people put dryer sheets under thier seats to make the car smell better. Anyone out there try that?

    How many Vipers do you think have been destroyed...

    Yep, thats what we were told at Thunder Hill by Skip, 17% of all registered Vipers are totaled. There was quite a bit of clapping afterwards :D . Skip was trying to get the point across that owners who want to push the limits of their cars should attend Viper Days to learn the car. 17% sounds...

    I CRASHED MY 04 VIPER

    DC Performance's bodywork place is Scandanavian Coachcraft. Ole Vanborg is the owner and he used to be the bodyshop manager of Claude Short Dodge. I have had my sidesill repaired and re-painted by them and it came out great.

    Horrible gas mileage!!!!!

    Congrats! If youre interested in getting 2-3 less mpg on the highway, get a 3.55 rear end. It will feel like 40-50hp easy.

    Can you trust your dealer?

    Congrats on the ride, welcome to Viper Nation! Just be careful until you get used to the car, then youll have fun :cool: Dan, Chris, and Kevin at DC Performance are superbly capable Viper Techs. They are the only people who work on my GTS and my brothers RT/10. They are a little hard to...

    The origin of "Sneaky Pete"

    Re: The origin of \"Sneaky Pete\" Thats pretty much what was said in Carney's book. I went through it again cover to cover last night but found no new info on Sneaky Pete. It wasnt a total loss as I learned something new about my GTS...the steering wheel has a magnesium rim to save...

    What's the difference between 2000 and 2002 differential?

    Re: What\'s the difference between 2000 and 2002 differential? I know its been awhile, but I finally recalculated my mileage. Going from Thunder Hill to Simi Valley, CA: Distance: 464.8 miles Time: 6.5 Hrs Avg Speed: 71.5 mph MPG: 20.07 So it looks like Im averaging about 2 to 3 mpg less...

    The origin of "Sneaky Pete"

    need shiny gas cap

    Splurge on the MGW cap. Yes its a little pricey, but its a masterpiece. That plus my chrome rims made the car look SO much better. http://www.mgwltd.com/viper_gts_gascap.html

    For all of you wing lovers...

    Ridiculous. Utterly. Plus no front Sneaky Pete emblem. I say the car was in a frontal collision.

    Help with Roe

    I cant imagine that there would be such a disparity in price. Dan is a stand-up guy, and I know DC Performances prices are fair. Maybe there was a mis-communication. Try contacting DC again and Im sure things will get cleared up.

    Help with Roe

    My brother and I have owned 4 Vipers between us, and DC Performance is the ONLY place we will allow to touch our cars. I have gotten to know each and every member of the staff personally over the last two years, they are a class act. You can trust them to take care of you. $2000 for a...
