    Belle Island Trip

    That must explain the caravan of three Vipers being trailered on I-75 Sunday. I was visiting friends in Toledo this past weekend, and there were Vipers everywhere. Also saw a Black and Silver RT/10 buzzing around. What a vacation!

    Shipping your Viper? Do not use NAAT or Werner!

    All I can say is "Gary Almond". He is not only very careful, he's a Viper owner himself. I highly recommend him and wouldn't hesitate to call him for my next delivery.

    Water in my oil

    Happened to me on my '97 GTS. Not sure what year yours is, but '96 & 97 were prone to blowing the gasket on the front timing chain cover. You had a 50-50 chance of the water leaking outside or into the oil. Mine needed a complete rebuild as the bearings were wiped out and the cam lobes were...

    Nationwide Insurance Question: Please help!

    Jon, I,ve been with Nationwide for over thirty years. When I totaled my '97 B/W last year at an event that was considered a performance driving school, they paid the claim with no problems. The only issue was the value of the car. They initially offered a NADA value, but after a hugh laugh and...

    New raffle announcement

    At the risk of sounding stupid, can someone explain the details in paragraph #4 on the raffle ticket order form. It says, "Federal law requires the deposit of 28% of the value of the prize to be applied towards the winners tax liability. Does this mean that after you pay the sales tax for your...

    Some Guidance Would Be Helpful!

    Juli, what part of N.Y. farm country are you and Mike originally from? I'm originally from the Endicott/Binghamton area. The blizzard of 1993 did me in! Left in 1996 for the great state of NC. Never knew that the sun shined so much. You are correct that the upstate area is one of the most...

    Roe Fan Kit - Is it a battery killer?

    Nice unit. I used one on the '97 Blue/White I had last year, and plan to install one on my '02 FE. I modified the Roe fan kit to also allow me to turn the fan on manually for situations like, sitting in heavy traffic or parade cruising. Just have to remember to turn it off when parking the car...

    Bizarre rubber smell

    This is too strange. Just last weekend, I was driving home from a meet in SC when I suddenly smelled an electrical burning smell. Since I was in heavy traffic and only 5 miles from home I continued on to the house. When I pulled into the driveway, the smell was gone, but the battery was low...

    My New 2002 Fe Is 1 Hour Away

    Thanks for all of the compliments! This is my third Viper, but this one makes me hate the fact that I have to work for a living. I haven't watched the clock at work like this in years. Can't wait to get home and play with it. Trying to avoid driving it to my place of business due to it being too...

    My New 2002 Fe Is 1 Hour Away

    My New 2002 Fe Is 1 Hour Away

    I wish I had the day off! Actually, Gary is delivering the car to my warehouse. So I guess you can say I'm working. Although I don't expect to get much accomplished after that. I'll be answering a lot of questions as my customers come in throughout the day, I'm sure.

    LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN

    Thanks Janni! I was hoping to have it in time for this weekend so I could attend the N.C. happenings. Looks like I'll be sitting in the driveway waiting for the trailer to come around the corner. I'll see you guys in July, although I don't plan on tracking this car. Tell Henry I said hello.

    LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN

    In seven days, I'll be back in the saddle again!!! As some of you know, I lost my 1997 B/W at V.I.R. last July to, what we believe was a broken valve stem on the right rear tire. The car was a total loss, but nobody got hurt. Just a broken heart! Since then, I looked long and hard for my next...

    Has anyone used a 4 post lift rolling jack on their Viper

    I bought my Direct Lift four post lift from Greg Smith and added the jack for an additional $499.00 at the time of purchase. The jack is worth every penny. It's low profile design allows it to traverse front to back with no clearance problems at all. Mine is 2 years old now, and must be an...
