    3.55's to be installed

    I just got off the phone with AZ. Diff. and they said they put Spicer gears in all their cars. Said they were american made. He said I could get cryo hardened gears for another $160 but unless I was going to build the engine and drag race it, I would be wasteing my money. Guranteed for a year or...

    3.55's to be installed

    I've got a red 97 GTS. Only has 7600 milew on it. Picked it up a couple months ago. Working out a few bugs from sitting so long. Had to re-fill the AC, change out the battery and it seems the brake booster isn't working as good as it should. Have a nice used one of those coming. Other that that...

    3.55's to be installed

    Just talked with Henry at AZ. Differenial and they said they recommend I get 3.55's instead of the 3.73's I was thinking about having installed. They can install them next week in one day for $875. Taking in the whole car, not just the rearend. Is this a good price or am I getting Viper taxed...

    ebay bait and switch!

    I won an ebay auction for a part for the viper. It looked cool and I heard some good things and not to bad about it. When it showed up it wasn't anything like the part shown in the auction. Looked like a cheap copy. Not the same color or made out of the same material. I notified the seller and...

    GTS running pretty good, brakes suck!

    Hi No I just got it last week. It has 7000miles on it so I'm sure the pads are originals. Someone said to take the spring and O ring out of the proportional valve? Dave

    GTS running pretty good, brakes suck!

    I got the GTS running pretty good and decided to take to a country road and jump on it a little. Got it up to a quick 100mph and was coming up on the end of the road and put on the brakes hard and it wasn't slowing down as much as I wanted and was used to with my Z06. I did a search and noticed...

    Splitfire plugs $0.99

    All right guys you talked me in to it. I'm bringing them back to autozone and see if they'll take them in on trade for some Champs. I think I will try them in my beater for the hell of it. It's just a cruiser, not much get up and go. That's not what I got it for. I have to commute 120 miles a...

    VIDEO of GTS vs M5

    Hey Madduc I just picked up a 97 GTS, went from a 02 Z06. While the GTS is fast, I'm not sure it's faster than my Z06 was. How much I'm I looking at to ROE S/C my GTS? I want to make sure my old Z06 buddies are left behind like what you did to your friend. Thanks Dave

    97 GTS hard start no power

    Re: 97 GTS hard start no power (UPDATE) My son in-law did a lot of work on the GTS today. Filled the AC, changed out the battery and checked the fuel pressure. It still starts hard. Turning the key back and forth 5 times, running the fuel pump makes it start easier, has 50lbs pressure so it's...

    There was some posts out there saying the diehard is a better cold weather battery than hot. It's 113 outside today in Phoenix. I want the best hot weather battery there is under $150. Thanks

    Splitfire plugs $0.99

    As soon as I can I'm going to change the plugs in my GTS. Just got it and that's something I do with cars I just get, that in belts and oil. Autozone on line has the splitfire plugs for $0.99 a piece. I remember when they were almost $10 each. I always wanted to try them. I figured for $10 I'd...

    Best battery

    Hi Guys I'm sure this has been beat to death and I did a search but, I just got my 97GTS last Sunday and don't have a day off till Friday to get a battery. The thing is completely dead. I'm sure hoping all the low power and hard starting is all caused from this bad battery problem. Anyways...

    97 GTS hard start no power

    Thanks for the help. I'm off for a week starting on Friday so I'll start checkiong all of the above. Do you know what the fuel pressure should be? Last night I went to start it again and it was dead. I put a charger on it so maybe I can check the fuel pump build up. I turned the key back and...

    97 GTS hard start no power

    I think and hope your right on the battery. It was on a truck for a week and the battery was dead when we pulled it off the truck. We jumped it to get it started. Let it idle and ran it around the block a few times. Battery got enough of a charge from doing that to start it up a couple of times...

    97 GTS hard start no power

    Hi Guys I just got a 97 GTS with 7K miles on it. It's from CT. now in AZ. It's having a hard time starting. You crank and crank and when it catches it pops and sputters and then finally smoothes out. When I drive it, there seems to be no power when you punch it. I just sold my 02 Z06 to buy...
