    What am I...a rock star?

    Buzzz, Where in Vermont do you live? I have a house in Northfield and travel there whenever I need to "recharge my batteries". One day I am going to bring the Viper along for some cruzin through the green mountains. What a great place! Mike

    Why our Oil Pressure Gauge is worthless...

    Ron, I have a couple of comments: I don't always watch the guages every second I am driving. I make it a point to look at them regularly but most likely several mins pass between each glance. I would really like to have a audible buzzer go off if I were to lose oil pressure suddenly. I have...

    CATS or no CATS?

    Back to the original queation.............I removed both cats and kept the factory resonators and rear muffler. I am happy with the results. Louder, deeper sound, much cooler side sills, I would also say there was a SOTP improvement because the tires are easier to break loose from a roll. I...

    Cat removal???

    Grayman, This weekend, I performed this "operation" on my 96 GTS. I purchased 4 of the 2 1/2 inch "borla" clamps from Sean Roe and installed approx. 24 inches of straight pipe in place of the stock cats. One end of the pipe should be swelled to fit over the forward head pipe, the other end...

    Is $46K a good price for a '98 Silver Viper GTS with

    Re: Is $46K a good price for a \'98 Silver Viper GTS with I would steer clear of that one. There are far too many one owner nice cars out there for just a few thousand more, well within your price range. Take your time and keep on looking.

    Passenger Airbag Override Button ???

    Ron, Point well taken. I didn't mean that I would create my own switch, but was thinking of how to avoid the panel mismatch. And yes, I would hate to face a trial by jury and explain how I "forgot" about my hidden switch. Mike

    Re: I\'m curious to know what NOS is like in the Viper Sheyster, Thanks again. I'll continue to do research before I make any decisions. Right now the exhaust tone is my #1 priority. Mike

    Passenger Airbag Override Button ???

    Ron, Do you have to turn the swith off each time you start the car to deactivate the air bag or does it stay in the "deactivated" position until you switch it back "on"? Also do you think you would be able to mount the switch in a hidden position so I don't have to have the dash bezel piece...

    I'm curious to know what NOS is like in the Viper

    Re: I\'m curious to know what NOS is like in the Viper Thanks for the info Tom and Sheyster. Sounds like a great bang for the buck even if you are conservative on the shot size. My first project will be to get rid of that silent exhaust system that the factory installs! Then maby the 3.55...

    What is a fair price for a 96 Blue and White with less than 5 miles?

    Remember, don't get so caught up in the mileage game that you overlook the mechanical condition of the car. The right "break in" , documentation, and oil changes etc. should factor more in the equation than only mileage. I looked off and on for about a year before I bought a 7,000 mile '96 GTS...

    Viper vs Porshe 911 Turbo in Quarter Mile

    In the real world I doubt there are many 911 Turbo Owners willing to "sidestep the clutch" to acheive those great numbers. On the street, I think the Viper may have the edge.

A relationship customer should expect his/her supplier to make a profit and in return expect the supplier to be there for support and service after the sale. If you are a price customer you get the...
