    It is a sad day indeed>>>>>

    Rebel, don't want to burst any bubble but there are no guarantees that your engine will come back even one hp stronger. What you are getting is a fresh rebuild. Nothing more. Those that post that their car is 25 hp stronger probably warped a head and it was milled so they got a bump in...

    Chromalussion paint

    One of the club members in Illinois painted his Viper about 3 years ago with the chromillusion paint. The car was originally a red GTS and he put a magenta/purple/teal/gold paint on. Dupont rep was present during the painting process as this was the first application on a Viper. One year later...

    How can i tell if i have a bad head gasket?

    John is correct if you have a tinkler but when that gasket really goes than you will see a puddle (puddler) under the car in the garage. Be careful though because it depends where the puddle is. If it is off the back end of the motor it could be a gasket for the crossover coolant tube or t-stat...

    D-C "Friends Discount" = 2% BELOW invoice!

    Re: D-C \"Friends Discount\" = 2% BELOW invoice! I guess the new advertizing campaign should be "Rebates on all Dodge products, except ...not on a VIPER (and now add PT and Prowler). Actually employees have always had a voucher like this for themselves but now I see that they are extending it...

    Tommy Archer to drive in next years SCCA Trans-Am series

    I guess I am waiting to hear more about this effort. Will this be a competition modified street car, or a purpose built tube frame with a fiberglass ( maybe carbon fiber) funnycar type body.

    ALMS '01

    Re: ALMS \'01 What do you mean by new? Aren't you going to use the cars which you raced at Road Atlanta this past year? The ex-Holquim cars. Or are they being retired and new ones campaigned?

    Mangled cars

    Well alot depends on how bad the frame is balled up. There have been many Vipers wrecked at the Viper Days events and I believe many have had the frames sectioned. That means that either the damaged corner or front/rear clips are replaced. If you can salvage the frame without transfering...

Rest assured that in the next two weeks the calander for 2001...
