    Supercharged Viper Options, Your Opinion Matters...

    1. Smog passing is important to me. I'm in california. However certification is not as important as sniff test. But cert. would be nice. 2. Not sure on traction control. if it helps in the dry at all, I would be interested. If its is a benefit towards controling the extra power, defintely 3...

    High speed accidental 2-1 or 3-2 shift disable

    Yes you should be looking out the windshield. Thats why an indicator light could be mounted on top of the dash or in that vicinity so you could see it peripherally while looking out

    High speed accidental 2-1 or 3-2 shift disable

    I Like this idea. I posted about missed shifts a few months back, Since then I have chaged shifters and have a shorter lever. It's much more precise, but still in the heat of spirited driving, at the price your talking about, I'd be interested. Maybe even some kind of indicator lights to let...

    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 IMHO it's too high. I paid $45K for my 97 GTS with 23,000 miles on it plus it wasn't a rental car. Even if the silver car was not a rental, I have seen cars with this range of milage with lots of extras for this price. All my friends...

    Cheap Mobile One

    Hey Alan, I do not know what the difference in the tri blend versus the other. What is the difference and is it clearly labeled as such? Thanks, I'm gonna go back to target after I find out and check on this.

    Cheap Mobile One

    Yes, in that light it is funny. But hey, everybody likes a deal. I have clients that spend $5,000 on their family portraits that I photograph which is lot compared to other photographers. When I give them any kind of little deal or tidbit, they love it. When I went out to find those jugs of oil...

    Cheap Mobile One

    I was just in Target last night and saw Mobile One for $2.94 a quart. Based on what guys are saying that a five quart jug is about $18, this sounds like a great deal as it comes out to less than $15 for the same amount. Unless someone has found it cheaper, I'm gonna stock up on it.

    Alarm indicator light

    On my 97 gts the little red light that flashes to let you know the alarm is armed on the top of the dash does not work. Alarm works though. Can I take the light out of the dash easily and just get one like it at radio shack or is there something I need to know about this.

    Anyone moved the drivers seat further forward?

    Hey Rick, try this. I am 5'6" on a good day myself and to reach the clutch pedal and depree it all the way i had to slouch. Ted May at Valaya did this for me. i told him that the front bolster of the seat is too high and I'm sitting in a rut. If the bolster was not as high my legs would reach...

    Bulb Change???

    Are these bulbs an improvement over the stock as far as vision at night. The stock headlights aren't real bright and throw very far. I've driven with the high beams and never had anyone flash me from the opposite direction

    touch up paint

    I was told that the blue touch up paint for a 97 GTS blue w/ white stripes is no longer available. Does anybody know if this is true and if so, is there an alternative color that is very close???

    My ACR is Here

    Congrats on getting back in one piece with no "go to Jail" stops. I saw your posts and figured you were coming to sacto which is about an hour and a half from where I live. It sounds like you did what i did. I bought my GTS in October in Houston and drove it back. Left Sat at about 2 pm and got...

    Exhaust Volume

    hey genxgts, if you look at the post on this thread by Venom Lover he says "'97 GTS Blue (Borla headers and 3" cat-backs, hi-flow cats, smooth tubes, K&Ns, 3.55 gear, 456 rwhp, 490 rwft-lbs, 11.5 sec at 123 mph)" So I guess 11.5 is a possiblilty depending on the track and driver. I was going...

    3.55 gears -gottem put on!

    If you're running a high hp car, yes i would stay with the 3.07. But right now I'll only have headers,cats, exhaust, &smoothies. So this mod works great for me and in the scheme of things when it comes to how much everything costs in modifying a viper, its the best deal in my opinion right after...

    DIY Supercharger - Sean Roe, Doug Levin, Heffner???

    I'm waiting too. At this point my next step is getting into the heads, but have a hard time justifying the hi cost ($5,000) to get 50 hp. But if a DIY supercharger came out with a well known tuner backing it up for $7,000, I'd be on it. I was really excited that Sean Roe announced this price...

    3.55 gears -gottem put on!

    Well I dug up all the old posts on the great debate of 3.07 versus 3.55 gears. read them all at least 4 times. I was considering this swap and asked my viper tech Ted May of Valaya Racing if I should get headers first or gear swap. He thought the gears were the best bang for the buck for what I...

    Exhaust Volume

    I just wrote a long post on this and it dissapeared. So to surmise: I think my car was the 97 GTS got the readings on at Ted may's shop. I was very hesitant about having a loud car. I drive a very quiet luxery car now as noise bothers me. But the heat from the cats in the sills was killing me so...

    Few questions that need answers!

    1. First, a really important thing for me. I´ve heard that it´s kind cramped inside. How´s the legroom and shoulderroom? I´m 6´3" and not thin! How not thin are you? Read the posts and you will see some fair sized people fitting in 2. Is it hard to get into and out of? Not very wide these...

    Corsa Exhaust

    I just put on a Corsa 3" and hi flow cats on my GTS. Sounds much more agressive. If you are interested in one Jon B at parts rack has one sitting in San Jose ca at Ted mays shop. I know because he accidently shipped me 2 of them and I left the extra one at Teds. Call Parts rack and you will save...

    Good Dodge dealership in Northern California, Bay Area for warranty work?

    I agree with Nik. I don't know anything about the dealers as my car is out of warranty, but I had Ted & Steve at Valaya work on my GTS and have been very pleased. They are honest and work very efficiently. I have watched Porsche mechanics work on my Porsches and they did not work as quickly or...

    give'em a break

    give\'em a break Okay, I'm sure I get burned to a crisp for saying this, but I think we might want to be a little nicer to the moderators. I usually check this forum about 3 times a day and have learned so much and enjoyed it a lot. While I see that a lot of people don't like the changes it...

    Welcome.. as far as a Viper Tech, I would recomend Ted May of Valaya Auto in san jose. His number is 408-448-8811 He has been working on my GTS and recently put on my exhaust system. He is a great guy and if you ask around, you will find he is very highly respected. He was one of the first...
