    How Do You Pop The Clutch When Driving Your Viper? Please Read!

    I know from many years around short track stock car racing that the technique your talking about is common for those cars, but they are running small diameter triple disc clutches which don't last as long when slipped to release, like you do your street car. A large diameter single disc can...

    Looking for some white vinyl stripes

    Also, contact Mike Baxter at [email protected]. You can check out threads "Look mom! Added stripes" and "Vinyl stripes, where to buy" for guys who have dealt with Mike on these stripes. I've never dealt with him on stripes, but I bought a set of '97 wheels from him last Thursday (he's...

    Chrome

    Check with California Chrome Wheel (Ph. 661-294-0170). I bought a used set of '97 wheels to have plated and run on my '96 GTS. I spoke to John yesterday at California Chrome and got a quote. The price on those wheels was $150 each (plus shipping). I found them on here back in June (thread "Re...

    Great Lift Overview

    Thanks for the link. It's a very good article, especially with the extensive list of manufacturers that it has in it. I've been looking at two post and scissors lifts. I asked this in another thread, but I'll ask here too. Has anyone seen or used a Bend-Pak SP-7X scissors lift? It looks like a...

    The smart way to lift...........

    Jim Wilson shows pictures above of his Bend-pak. His appears to be a Model SP-7. Bend-pak also has a SP-7X which has a longer set of runners going onto and off of the lift. Looks like it is more for low clearance vehicles than the SP-7 in a typical on floor set-up, rather than the way Jim put...

    Viper Magazine - who HASN"T gotten theirs yet?

    Re: Viper Magazine - who HASN Here's the latest, for me anyway. I had a nice voicemail on the cell phone yesterday afternoon from Fiona McKenna (sp?) at Viper HQ saying they understood that I had a problem (see post above). I called back today and she was great. Said my address change e-mail...

    Viper Magazine - who HASN"T gotten theirs yet?

    Re: Viper Magazine - who HASN\"T gotten theirs yet? I haven't received this one, or the last one either for that matter! Sent e-mail about the last one over a month ago and still no reply. Hello! Anyone out there? I know somebody was there once upon a time to deposit my membership check...

    Is there a way to acccess Mopar catalogue online?

    And to top it off, that "speed essentials" (or the street version) have very limited listings of Viper parts. There was a much better performance parts catalog out last year, but it's out of print now. The dealer said (at the time) that they had a very hard time getting those in the first...

    Cannot find pics etc explaining the frame reinforcement . . .

    Is there any way to get to the full text of the 998 recall (and the others) and print it? With all these stories of mis-labeling and dealer screw-ups, I'd like to have as much info on hand as I can before I have the work done on my '96 (if I have it done at all). Like Phoenix was saying, any...

    NEW BORLA EXHAUST - TOO QUIET?

    sbkim, I have also been thinking about the new Borla system. I went to Viper Days at VIR a couple of weekends ago and liked the Borlas that I heard the best (but they were all the older, no rear muffler systems). Did you buy your set up from Roe (including the cats)? I'd figured I would get it...

    > Viper for a Track car or something else? John, you reading this ? <

    Janni is correct about buying an existing car. I've made my living for the past several years in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series as a track GM (now "retired") and I've told more people than I can remember that if they are seriously interested in starting out, they will save time, money and...

    Who's Viper is this?

    Re: Who\'s Viper is this? Where did you see this car? I saw one like it (maybe this one) pull up for dinner at the Chart House in Daytona Beach during Speedweek '03. I know it had one big bottle like that in the back, maybe two. I can't comment on the driver, but the passenger was no poser...

    Any concerns with a 96 having 1,800 miles?

    I purchased my '96 in Nov. 2002 with 1800 miles. It turned to 2700 miles last Thursday. I have not had a moments trouble in the year and a half that I've had it. None. Not even a hint. Super nice car. Gave $54K for it. Don't regret buying it one bit. On the car you're looking at, the $50k to...

    GTS Questions

    Mike, What do you intend to do with the wheels and tires that you bought on the car? I remember seeing pictures of the car and I like those wheels. I'm just over the county line here outside Burlington. Robert in Elon :usa:

    Important note about your account here at Viperclub.org.....

    I've gotten them that said they were from e-bay, paypal and citibank (never even had an account with citibank). They want you to go to an address that is included in the e-mail. You can usually place your cursor over the address and see the real address in the bottom left of your screen, and it...
