    Noise when I accelerate...normal?

    I checked the pulleys and belt...all seems normal, so I guess it's the filters/tubes. I can live with it, I just worry too much! Thanks guys! Matt

    Noise when I accelerate...normal?

    I thought it might be a belt issue. No, it's not blown...it does sound a little like a supercharger though! I have K&Ns and smooth tubes, but no other mods. How hard is it to change the belt? Seems like a pain, since the hood opens backwards. Matt

    Noise when I accelerate...normal?

    Sometimes, when I get on it a little, I hear a squeaking/screeching sound from under the hood. It's not at full throttle, and it's only for a few seconds, but it still worries me. I have only owned my Viper for a couple weeks, so I don't know what is normal and what isn't. I have driven 2...

    a couple of newb questions...

    Hey Viperfreak, don't try to wet sand out the bumps! I tried that on one of the bigger ones, and I sanded through to primer well before the spot was flat! Matt

    a couple of newb questions...

    1. What is the trunk of my 2000 RT/10 supposed to look like? Any mat, carpet, anything? I have the spare, and underneath it, the jack. There is also a strap that runs across the tire from each side of the spare tire well. What is that for? It doesn't really hold the tire down; the...

    Where to get wheels polished?

    So after washing the car today, it is apparent to me that the wheels have been neglected...severely. Is there somewhere I can send them to be polished, maybe take the little curb rash off, but mostly just get shiny again? Matt

    I TOLD you I was going to get one!

    I was going to get the Sneaky Pete logo on my arm, but I already have the Suzuki Hayabusa logo tattooed on my other arm (no joke!), and I thought two transportation-themed tattoos might be a little bit of overkill. I took today off work so I could wash the car and drive it! All I can say is...

    I TOLD you I was going to get one!

    That was my next question...I live in SC now, but I am moving to Virginia Beach in August, following my overseas deployment next month. Which region do I apply in? Matt

    I TOLD you I was going to get one!

    I just got home with my 2000 Viper RT/10! Drove all day in it! Wow! Best single purchase I have ever made! I bought MichaelP's Viper, so thanks to him, thanks to everyone here on the board who steered me in the right direction, especially Tony! I would post pictures, but it is filthy from...

    Need help from a Pittsburgh area Viper owner!

    I am looking at the weather up there pretty closely, and it looks like I am going to be able to drive it. How bad can it be? The job pay is negotiable - what will it cost me for you to do it? Matt

    Need help from a Pittsburgh area Viper owner!

    Yep, I am pretty needy. Truck as well. I am flying up, hopefully trailering to Pitt, then driving from there to SC! I don't care if it's an open trailer...beggars can't be choosers... Matt

    Need help from a Pittsburgh area Viper owner!

    I checked with Gary, he won't be able to do anything for me for a couple of weeks. I was hoping to find a company local to Pittsburgh that could go get it for me on short notice.

    Need help from a Pittsburgh area Viper owner!

    Hey guys, I know I am new here...I am picking up my Viper on Sunday and I need a way to get it from Rochester, NY to Bethel Park, PA. If anyone has a trailer, knows someone who has a trailer, or can point me in the direction of a transport company local to the area, who can move the car for me...

    Inovative Car Theft

    I read about this a couple of years ago. I haven't heard of it happening to anyone I know. edoggrc is right, it's not supposed to work that way. My humble opinion is that it's one of those cool internet rumors that people get all excited about. Having said all that, I will be the first...

    NEW 550 HP. MUSTANG - 500 HP ZO6 - DC WE WILL NEED MORE!!

    I don't remember Ford saying anything about cancelling the Cobra. I remember the Lightning announcement, but as far as I know, the Cobra is still planned as an '07 model. I highly doubt it will have greater than 450 HP for under 40K though. The SVT heads keep talking about trying to do more...

    which one is better??????

    Ok, help me out here. I spotted the cars direct ad as an obvious fake. Same exact pics as the eBay ad, sketchy details, too-good-to-be-true price, etc. But how do you know the eBay ad is fake? The dealership exists, I saw it on my last trip to MN (the dealership, not that car). They have...

    Who sells the Kumhos for the front

    Tires.com has the Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712s in 275/35-18; is that what you are looking for? If it is, they are $167/tire. If not, sorry, I am just a noob trying to help. Matt

    Ok, I give up. Help me with my stupid question!

    .....what's a creampuff? a) Newer Vipers with the lighter pistons. b) Gen II Vipers with windows. c) None of the above. I have been reading this for a couple of weeks and it's really bothering me. I know, I am an idiot noob, non-Viper owner, but pretty soon I will be an idiot noob Viper...

    Any advice on removing aftermarket DEI alarm?

    I installed DEI alarms for 7 years. The system 90 is so old, I don't remember which starter disable it had. DEI used two types, and one of them won't allow you to start the car when you pull the alarm out. In any case, there is a small black Bosch-style relay in a socket, with green, black...

    Which Viper is right for me?

    I am in Charleston. I want the open air experience! Best of both worlds if I get the hardtop, I figure. I have pretty much settled on a >98 RT/10, but you make some pretty good points about >99 MY. I still have some time to pick and choose, and now I have the Viper Buyers Guide on its...

    Which Viper is right for me?

    Update: I am one step closer to Viper ownership! I just sold my Lightning and bought my daily driver/winter beater...a 2001 Explorer Sport Trac. Not the nicest thing around, but now I have no car payment...more money into the Viper down payment fund! Thanks again everyone for all your help...

    Which Viper is right for me?

    That is a VERY tempting offer, but I am not quite ready to it yet...I don't want to have move three vehicles from SC to VA. But at that price...wow, I have a feeling I will be kicking myself in the butt. Hopefully, there will be something similar in a month or two once I am settled.

    Which Viper is right for me?

    Vipermad, I am an ETC(SW), and I am familiar with the piers at Norfolk. In fact, I am going to be living there again, starting this summer. I ride a 2002 Suzuki Hayabusa; can you see a pattern forming with all my vehicles?!? I just figure that if I had the Viper every day, I would not need...
