    Is Chevy trying to copy the SRT?

    I am really bummed at how much resemblance the headlights of the new vets have to the vipers....not to mention the rest of the car. That was the most distinguishing thing that I used to notice first when a viper was approaching. There was absolutely no mistaking the viper from a mile away...

    Why am I bouncing?

    I recently checked my tire pressure and noticed they were around 22psi. I added air to bring them up to the correct pressure of 29psi. It seems like ever since I did that, I have been getting a lot of wheel hop if the tires start to spin or I shift hard from 1st to 2nd. I have to let up on the...

    What are benefits of becoming VCA member?

    Thanks for all the responses from both Vca members and non members. Now I know a bit more about the club and different events. My main concern was finding time to attend any of these events. It seems there are quite a few in my area from your responses. Hey Vipermad...thanks for the...

    Wheel bearings on the Vipers

    Really don't know what the cause of that is although I also have a 98 gts that has been doing the same thing lately. I am attributing the cause in my case to the cold weather. It seems like the first few miles of driving the car, it will thump a bit ....like flat spots on rear tires but then it...

    What are benefits of becoming VCA member?

    I am a fairly new viper owner and very new member to this forum. I would like to know the benefits of joining the VCA and also how I can benefit The VCA if I decide to join and become a member. One thing that is making my decision on joining difficult is that my job and other interests don't...

    Do you guys ever forget...

    Yeah.....me too. I am always looking at my car at every different angle. There is nothing else like it! Once in awhile I get my wife to drive it down the road and pass our house a couple times while I stand outside. (Pretty pathetic huh?)Just to see what it looks and sounds like as it goes...

    How do ya do it????

    I am still trying to drive mine when the roads are dry and free of salt. Probably alot more often clear here than MN. The other thing that helps me deal with the snow is snowmobiling. Go get yourself a fast snowmobile. Mine does the 1/4 in about the same time as a stock viper. A little over 12...

    Should I winter drive my Viper??

    I am another viper owner in Jersey that had to take a ride today. The main roads and highways are salt free since the rain a few days ago but the side roads have some salt dust on them due to the fact of the rain that ran across the road in spots and froze so they had to resalt those areas...

    1st post and questions from newbie

    Thanks kgrif, I am under the impression that there are different kinds of battery tenders. I think some always provide a constant charge which I have heard may not be the greatest for the battery. Then I have heard that there are some that can sense when the voltage is dropping and then it...

    Are front facias really repairable?

    Jeff, I have a 1985 Iroc camaro that I brought to Maaco to get a cheap paint job on. My front spoiler had a BIG crack in it. I thought for sure that I would have to buy a new one. Actually, I was just going to have them paint right over it since this is just a beater car that I have had since...

    1st post and questions from newbie

    Thanks for the info on the recall situation. Will take a closer look to see if it has been done. I guess I can call a dealer and give vin number to find out for sure if it has been performed too. I guess cheapest route for exhaust mods is to cut out muffler for better sound but I kinda...

    Wax

    I have been using Meguiars Gold Class Clear coat wax. I initially used their deep crystal cleaner followed by their deep crystal polish and then applied the wax. I am very happy with the results. These are supposedly all non abrasive. The polish seemed to get rid of(or hid) any swirl marks and...

    1st post and questions from newbie

    Hello, I was finally able to buy a viper 6 months ago after many years of dreaming of owning one. I was one of the many people who used to gawk over and gives thumbs up at you as you drove by. I bought mine on ebay sight unseen and fortunately the car was delivered to me exactly as...
