    GTS-headlights rubbing against hood

    I had the hood open today and noticed some white powder by the headlights. I closed the hood and noticed that the hood hits the part of the headlight towards the middle of the car on both sides, and when the car is in motion it rubs. Needless to say I'm a little ticked off . The snake just broke...

    Horn problem-the hard way-help needed

    Think of the worst possible scenario to find out your horn is not working and that's what happened. Anyway with some quick breaking and then some hard acceleration the car is still in one piece. The horn was working perfectly this morning. I checked the fuse and relay and they work. The horn...

    Photo / Model shoot.....................

    Laura, Since i'll also be going from NY, if you need a bodyguard on your first class flight i volunteer. Also my Viper will bodyguard your Viperess in the enclosed trailer. Who knows by the time they get to sunny california there may be a few Viperinos running around.

    Michelin tires

    Thanks for the reply JonB, I'll look into shaving the tires down. The reason that i don't drive it too often is that the roads around here simply put: suck and traffic is horrendous. I'm planning to move to florida within 5 years. By then the engine will be broken in and then the fun will start...

    ONE OF A KIND VIPER EATER???

    Someone will buy it and go 'Viper hunting'. Whereever it is sold some viper owner is going to have a laugh or two. My zr1 with mods barely outruns a stock GTS, so he is in for a big surprise.

    Michelin tires

    Since most Vipers out there have low mileage, has anyone experienced their tires getting very hard before wearing them down? For example my car is a 96 and has a little over 600 miles, but the tires are really hard, to the point where the brakes will lock up, traction is very limited, and if...

    HELP-jacking up and side sill damage

    To make a long story short, while jacking up the front section of the Viper the jack must have been slightly misplaced because the sill is no longer flat and is sort of caved in. No cracks or scratches, although a cracking noise was heard. The exhaust is fine and seems that whatever is on the...

    Ferrari vs Vipers at Pocono

    This was the best event i have ever attended. Thumbs up to all the organizers. I got there at about 11:30 and was still able to run. I did two sessions and could have done at least 3 more. The Ferrari guys were first class. They interrupted their lunch to walk me over to the registration area...

    Plate holder

    I have friends "on the job" and they advised against putting the plate in the windshield. Seems that this way they can issue you 2 summonses. One for not having it on and one for improper display. My solution is a PBA card in the windshield but it does not always work with the meter maids.

    Set Of Ramps for the Viper

    Just bought a set of ramps for low cars. Still not good. Is there anyone out there that makes ramps for our Vipers? Would like to change the oil before putting anymore mileage on the car (546 and counting).

    mod my vette or buy used viper

    I was in the same situation. New vette or used viper? I wound up buying a "new" (only 410 miles) 1996 GTS a month ago. Other choice was the new Z06. I probably paid about the same as i would have for the new Z06. I have never looked back. Whatever you decide, have fun and be safe.

    Sad News

    Over the weekend, i was in Brooklyn and passed by the scene of the accident. Ocean parkway is a wide street with a 30 mph speed limit. Looking at the scene and the marks in the grass the driver was carrying a lot of speed. The car crashed into a bench way up on the sidewalk. Between the street...
