    Just to say hello, and ask a Q

    I am in Edmonton Asp Man. Where abouts are you? Jon at Partsrack will ship to Canada. $379 USD apiece for rears so probably a bit under $1000 with exchange, duty(French made Tire) and shipping. Which Tirerack?

    To Stripe or Not to Stripe, that is the Question!

    Yes we all have our preferences. I just checked out your pics. Very nice. Everything you have done kind of fits together. A little customized but a pure Viper look. Are you going factory red again with the new paint or something more exotic?

    I guess I should have told him it was for a Probe ;)

    To Stripe or Not to Stripe, that is the Question!

    I see what you are saying but when I think of a roadster with white stripes I think A/C Cobra, not Viper. The GTS is modelled after the Cobra Daytona but that car is not nearly so common as the roadster and there certainly aren't a million white striped kit car versions of the Daytona coupe out...

    To Stripe or Not to Stripe, that is the Question!

    Opinions of stripe color aside, you aren't in a 12 month of sunshine a year area, and will be garaging the car in the summer so I can't see any measurable fading in that short of a time. Compare the amount of sunlight your car gets in a year to a daily driver in Nevada or Arizona. Maybe a fifth...

    To Stripe or Not to Stripe, that is the Question!

    Jon your input on vinyl stripes is very interesting. You will find a bunch of threads on here by people who have low opinions on the appearance of vinyl compared to painting. I certainly have no bias against them and the negative impressions some people have might be due to the supplier or...

    To Stripe or Not to Stripe, that is the Question!

    Red is the absolute worst color for sun fading. But if you want to stripe it why worry about removing them? I would be more conerned with how the vinyl stripes look compared to painted. BTW don't put white stripes on a red car. That is for Cobra replicas and GTS FEs. Silver looks incredible on a...

    Just to say hello, and ask a Q

    Where should one look for tires for $1000 a set? Are you talking about a dealer somewhere that blows them out from time to time or finding someone who is upgrading and selling their stock newish tires?

    Just to say hello, and ask a Q

    My advice is to get rid of the Daytona and get a proper second car. You don't need the toy if you buy a better toy. Something quiet and comfortable with good a/c and no modifications that you don't have to worry about where you park it. I got my father in law's Concord for that purpose. Before...

    It's like being addicted to plastic surgery

    Re: It\'s like being addicted to plastic surgery As a kit car I like it. As a Viper I don't see the point. Gen 1 powertrain on Gen 2 frame with body by George Jetson.

    My butt is always dirty...

    Dirty that fast? I wonder if the high flow cats contribute to the problem? I used to get very tiny specks on the back of my stock 03 Z06(also yellow) but that turned out to be brake dust. Yellow shows crap worse than any other color I think.

    My butt is always dirty...

    Lots of people complain about that. I would rely on your plug color to determine if the car is running too rich, not the exhaust soot.

    VIPER OWNERS PLEASE READ!!!!( seriously looking into getting a viper)

    It wouldn't be my choice for a commuter car. A Gen 2 car with a hard top is closer, from a security standpoint. For a 30 minute drive to work my choice would be a C5 Vette.I had a Z06 and it did this very well. A $35000 vette might still be on warranty, have a properly sealing roof, no cockpit...

    asking price on my RT/10

    Asking prices are not selling prices. Some people who are asking what seems to be a more than fair price end up sitting on their cars for months. It took me 8 months to sell my 03 Z06 and I watched the internet and dealer prices the whole time to make certain I was always on the low end. I think...

    asking price on my RT/10

    I think so. Once you dip into the 30s most of what is out there is Gen 1 cars. Your mods are the popular ones and don't hurt the value. The mileage is high but I think your price reflects that. A $37000 98 with 15k miles would have a story of some kind behind it. Make sure you are advertised in...

    Viper on CSI Miami

    They substituted a Porsche for it. That's okay, it was used by a murderous closet gay guy to pick up and kill his date in. The producers must have realized a Boxster was more a more believable car in that situation than a Viper.

    Exhaust Delete Update

    Anyone know if DC attempts to use exhaust mods(like cat delete)to void warranty? I know there is law that says a manufacturer has to causally attribute any denied warranty claims directly to whatever change or mod you make but they can make it difficult or easy. I like the idea of a resonator...

    Exhaust Delete Update

    VERY good info. A lot of people don't need the extra power but think the stock exhaust sounds like ass. Your chart of the results is a roadmap to finding the right sound. Thanks!

    what is she really worth?

    Isn't 97 still the 415hp variety? You can get a nice 02 for that kind of money. You have to really want the b/w combo. Even if it is a 450hp car it is still 17" wheels and a soft top. It looks nice but a lower mileage 99 can be had for a lot less money. I do like the look though. I saw one for...
