    3.55 Gear Question

    Does changing the 3.07 to a 3.55 eliminate some of the driveline slap (clunk) inherent in Gen I Vipers.

    Who sells the best chin guard?

    I bought one from Snake Oyl products and was not particularly happy with it. It mounted on existing bolts, but the prongs were pretty pointed and I kept hitting my ankle on it getting around the car in the close quarters of my garage. I eventually hit a curb directly on the prongs of the chin...

    Rear end noise

    It seems like some clunk is common in the Viper driveline. I have had some with my 94 and various Viper Techs have told me it is normal. Check the u-joints, halfshafts and transmission mount for any sign of play or loseness. I replaced a half shaft and it 50% went away.

    Anyone know this 96 B\W on Ebay

    That is a great price for a 96 B/W one owner with those miles and no paintwork. Check the Carfax.

    Need advice on what to look for on a '94 RT/10

    You are gonna need a hartop and hard windows if you plan to lock it. +3.5-4K to buy them if car does not have them.

    Need advice on what to look for on a '94 RT/10

    Wow. That front facia is beat to ****. Plan on $900 for a good strip and repaint. Dash has been repainted black. Should have the grey fuzzy paint that falls off if you touch it. I would go a few dollars more ($35,000) for an immaculate example with 20,000 or less. Make sure the head...

    Need advice on what to look for on a '94 RT/10

    You need A/C on this car. The heat the engine puts out is phenomenal. If you add it to one without A/C plan on an additional 4-5K to do so.

    Front bumper repaint

    $900 to remove, strip, paint and reinstall. Perfect paint match and alignment with hood after reinstall. Had been previously repainted without stripping and without flexall. Lots of paint cracks. $300 job the first time. Done right the second time.

    Is radiator stop leak bad for your car?

    They used to make a product called Egg White way back when. It was named after the use of real egg white in radiators to stop leaks on Model T's. The stuff cooked inside the radiator and plugged small pin holes. I am not sure Stop Leak is any better, same principle. Stay away from it unless...

    New Owner - Sizing the car

    New tires that are cold are as dangerous as old tires. Never put the hammer down until you have driven enough to warm up the tires. I try to park 3 feet from a parking block to avoid scraping the front. It is embarassing to get your front end over a parking block and then have to have ask two...

    No big deal. That will buff right out so it can be listed in the classifieds as a "creampuff garage queen".

    Castrol oil to Gen I?

    I had a relative who determined engine lubricant specs for a living tell me to never use a heavier weight oil than recommended. He claimed it would cause engine wear until the heavier oil flowed at the same rate as the recommended viscosity.

    Save money on your vipers car insurance! Really!

    Talked to my agent about this yesterday. He had me bring the car up to take pictures. Said car had to be pristine, driven under 2,000 miles a year and mostly for car shows or club events. Since I have only driven it about 1,000 a year for the past 6 years, I made the switch. He asked about...

    Barrett-Jackson observations

    What do you mean it will never happen to a Viper? Viper magazine delivered today has a Viper pro street drag car with Hemi. In excess of 2,000 horsepower and a pro street world record of 6.450 seconds and 222.69 MPH. I might just swap my V-10 for a Hemi so I can say "Sure, its got a Hemi" get...

    $50K for a GEN-1 viper at B-J

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...751844&rd=1 This is the point of my previous post exactly. A 2000 ACR with $40,000 in mods that sold for $50,100. Ouch! A stock ACR should sell for that now and for much more in the future. Most used Viper buyers don't want their car to spend...

    $50K for a GEN-1 viper at B-J

    The bidder's package includes 12 drink tickets a day for a week. That's 72 drinks for $500 and only $400 if you register early. That makes it seem almost like you are getting to bid for free and may also explain some of the excessive bids. I saw $11,500 for a 66 VW Bug today and $65,000 for a...

    $50K for a GEN-1 viper at B-J

    1995 Venom 600 was a 1995 black with silver stripes and and 18K miles. Car looked pretty sharp with hardtop, hard side windows and A/C. The stripes looked to be painted. This was also a magazine cover car for some magazine supercar shootout that year and this car was the winner. I agree...
