    Extra Clear Bra or Other Clear Film for Sale?

    Tom, Give the guy that owns this company a call. I can't remember his name off the top of my head, but he has a LOT of satisfied customers in the Corvetteforum.com group. I don't know if he has a kit setup specifically for Viper yet, but I'm sure that if you give him a call he can come...

    VIPER HORSEPOWER @ 450 FOR RT-10/GTS IS VERY LOW!

    Another way to say it is that the Viper is a car that can be built on, while many of the cars mentioned by ExecMama - although powerful - are at the limits of their design capabilities.

    VIPER HORSEPOWER @ 450 FOR RT-10/GTS IS VERY LOW!

    "Assclown"!! ROTFLMFAO Oh man, I needed that laugh today, Craig. Thanks! Exec - your post has been repeated on COUNTLESS boards and dealing with every car you can imagine. The old HP/litre argument is a classic one and its been around longer than I have. I don't think ANYONE in history has...

    Dealer just had to break something

    I have had a few run-ins with the dealer that resulted in similar negative results on my C5. RUN, don't walk, to a new dealer with a different Viper tech!!!

    Fair price?

    Do you like Corvettes or Camaros? I'll give you both of mine for a straight trade. The scary part is that I just did the #s in my head and realized that I would be taking a slight hit on that deal. To answer your question, I've been pricing GTS's of various years for a while now and 47k does...

    What "kind" of car is a Viper?

    Re: What \"kind\" of car is a Viper? This one has gone around on other sites with other cars before. The general consensus is that a "muscle car" by definition must be able to seat 4, whether it has 2 doors or more. The Viper scores as a sports car, but it has a lot more balls than what we...

    Motor to arrow....Any advice??

    Just checking... but this is all covered under warranty for you guys, right? I can't imagine unloading another $15k on the car just a year or two after buying it! And hey - at least D-C honors their warranty work. I had to fight tooth and nail to get GM to stand by their product.

    How well did your Viper score on Xmas?

    Santa didn't bring me any car parts this year... But he DID decide to finally throw out my old P3 and replace it with a new PC based on the AMD 2400 and all the best accessories. Now the room is filled with the soft glow of red, blue and green LED lights showing through the door on the PC. No...

    What was your first time like...

    If I am VERY lucky, I will get one while I'm still 23. So I have until March 19th to make that one-liner come true. Most likely, I will get my 1st Viper when I'm 24. Nothing to be done about it, really. I have to unload the C5, which won't be too terrible. But I also have to take that big...

    Gotta Christmas Eve Ticket

    Shove THAT in your stocking and love it! Actually, ricer or no, that really has to be the pits to get a ticket on Christmas. But that still doesn't beat the time my dad's car was "stolen" on Christmas Eve while he was shopping at the mall. It was full of presents and when he called home for...

    Are you the famous Viper guy in your town??

    Hey, WO1 - you transporting crack on the slick to get that bad boy? Congrats. Sounds like you are living the fun life. What model Blackhawk are you flying - transport, c+c, electronic warfare, etc?

    Viper Screen Saver..

    I used to have one that was a 3D rendition of a GTS set against a black background with two light sources. You could adjust the color of the car on the light scale. It was pretty good, but I lost it when that hard drive crashed.

    Vipers and Dating.... !!! :)

    Tom has it right. Chuck - yes, she does! As non-car people go, she's pretty accepting of it but she DOES become a drag at shows or long cruise nights. Now I tend to leave her home. Gives me more time to hang out with friends and get into mischief. She got on my nerves once though. Early on we...

    Vipers and Dating.... !!! :)

    Jacob, I hear ya. I'm 23, too, and have had my '00 Corvette for 3 years now. What everyone here has said is basically right on the money. I generally hide the wallet. I'll bring my 137,000 miles 94 Dodge Ram on the first date. If they can get past that and you eventually feel them out...

    HELP! Need serpentine belt ASAP.

    I don't have a Viper yet, but I've read about two belts going in the past month. I think it might be worth it to stash an extra in the trunk on mine!

    Not to sound stupid, but whats this:

    Actually, that post about the Vipers Pop Warner football league was pretty cool under their RT/10 GTS board. I wish we had teams like that out here when I was a kid!

    Heavy Clutch Pedal?

    I'm not worried about WOT or how the car takes corners. It is one of the best sports cars in the world, after all. Besides, I don't think that I'd be ready to push 500lb/ft of torque through a hard corner and risk it after only 4 hours I have a lot of fun with my cars, but I try to do it...

    Heavy Clutch Pedal?

    One last question... (puts on flame suit) When I get my GTS, where do I put the tow hitch to my parts/tools trailer for the track? Don't kill me, I'm just kidding!

    Heavy Clutch Pedal?

    Dave, I have to thank you again for letting me risk the roads in the GTS. My questions were all answered in less than 5 minutes behind the wheel - just look out for those crazy holiday drivers pushing their Volvo Cross-Country Turbos through the corners! My 1st impressions after cruising...

    Ga VCA Toy Drive Delivery...Read this!

    TTT Everyone should read that. It must have felt satisfying. I spent 10 hours last Friday hauling 80lb boxes of food and toys around for Holiday For Giving. It felt good and I met a lot of sincere people. I also came across a few folks who were milking the system... tans like they just got...

    Dumb Question(s).......

    ...ditto what Ken just said... And here's Q #3 - what kind of ignition/distributor does the Viper run? In the many pics I have seen under different Viper hoods all I see are the long plenums and runners. Does Viper use something akin in nature to an Opti-spark? Does it run a cam sensor? As far...

    Heavy Clutch Pedal?

    Good to hear that coming from some C5 owners. No chicken legs here! Right now I am running an '02 Z06 clutch in my '00 Coupe and, if anything, it feels lighter than stock.

    Dumb Question(s).......

    Ok, I've searched the archives but have not found answers to these two yet. 1 - I know that until '00 the pistons were forged, but what parts comprise the bottom end on the V10? Forged crank/rods? How many bolts are on the main caps? Staight/splayed? Basic caps vs billet? What kind of bearings...

    Won't be just his baby taking a bath

    Re: Won\'t be just his baby taking a bath Twins? I don't know if I should congratulate you or wish you luck, so I'll do both! Interesting body package on that Viper, too bad they uglied it up with the stickers. Is the roof scoop functional? For some reason when I looked at that car I saw a...
