    OK... So I need to know how bad are viper really.

    OP, You need to understand what a viper is. Sure you can DD the thing! But why? Most guys here have a car for everyday use. The viper is for fun! Hence the "sport" aspect of sports car... All modern vipers are fine for any weather but snow... Go get yours and enjoy!

    Mine's got a few coats of flat over the primer then a sheen created when I wiped it down with speedwax... Came out with more of a mat finish that looks pretty good, IMO -cheers

    Sway Bar Help Please

    Try a big bolt cutter to bust off the old. Maybe a dremel with a disc grinder wheel. Chalk it up to "Lesson learned"..

    Really?? sorta feels more like being tossed out to me. By the way, I appreciate all the horrible arm twisting you guys must have pulled on my behalf. I had no idea my suggestion of creating an associate membership option equaled me "making all kinds of fuss". Sorry about that... Had I known...

    Head Gasket Party last Sunday 4/17

    Indeed, it was a marathon day in the garage but a good time overall, with good company. My neighbor tells me the stop sign out front worked really well due to all the neck twisting. Apparently those three old vipers turned a few heads! BTW, I found your brake fluid when I was cleaning up...
