    Vipers and the 10,000 mile threshold

    When I was looking, I found a 94 with just under 10k but the deal fell through. I came out a lot better with the 96 I bought with just over 20,000. Got A/C and a hardtop and a car in much better condition. They must have been 10,000 tough miles, it looked more like 50,000. I'm lucky the deal...

    1996 RT-10 owners HELP????

    The tips on mine end exactly 3/4" from the leading edge of the hood. There are tons of pics in the gallery. If you need pics with reference measurements let me know and I'll take some.

    Just went and sat in the garage while the snow falls......

    It was 99 degrees here today. Spent the day cleaning up the boat getting it ready to sell. As soon as the wife gets back from the store we're going for a swim in the pool. Sorry guys, but then you'll be rubbing it in when its 120 here.

    First month of ownership.

    To tell you the truth, I was pleasantly surprised at how cheap some parts are, and even more surprised at how easy these cars are to work on. Last weekend I went over to a buddy's house to show him the car. He just bought a Ferarri 355 F1. Absolutely beautiful car, but when he told me about...

    Where Were All the Vipers??????

    Keep an eye open for me, '96 RT/10 white with blue stripes. I probably don't live too far from you in Gilbert and I plan on driving it quite a bit.

    First month of ownership.

    Sounds like a good idea. I've still got some issues I want to finish before taking the car out much, I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Still a little worried about the cooling system, I'm hoping the flush next week will help. Couple of little clean-up items too and I'm thinking about some glass...

    First month of ownership.

    Well, as much as I hate garage pics, here's one. I'm hoping to take some pictures this weekend if I take it on a long drive. It's supposed to cool down to about 92 degrees tomorrow so it should be perfect driving weather.

    First month of ownership.

    Well, I've had it for about a month now so I'll give you my first impressions. I picked up a '96 RT/10, white with blue stripes about a month ago and drove it half way across the country to bring it home. For the first couple hours driving it home, I could hardly get over the excitement...

    New tires ------ Manufacturer?

    When I brought my '96 home a couple weeks ago, the tires on it were hard as hockey pucks, I'm lucky I got back alive. Ordered tires from Costco the next day, PS2s. I made sure they had the equipment to mount and balance tires that big. I watched them the whole time and they took their time...

    Gen II Floor Mats: More NEWB Questions

    Last week I ordered a set of custom embroidered mats, black with a blue logo, from US Speed. $99 for the pair. I got them on my doorstep within a week and they are better than I expected. Great non-slip backing, PERFECT fit, very thick and soft. They had a lot of options as far as carpet and...

    New Owner - Sizing the car

    Take this with a grain of salt from the newest of new guys here. I feel lucky that I made the decision to drive my "new" car home from half way across the country. It gave me some time to get used to it and get comfortable. Inside its one of the most comfortable cars I've been in, I'm 6'4"...

    First Post (a little long)

    Thanks for all the great welcomes. Yeah, the weather is definitely an advantage here. Not to rub it in, but two days ago I drove it out to lunch with my wife, in shorts and a t-shirt. Sorry guys. I'll try to post some pics soon, but they might be garage pics. I'm stuck on a project at work...

    First Post (a little long)

    First post here although I've been reading and learning for months now. Thanks for all the info, you guys helped me make my decisions. For a little background, I got married in Maui four years ago and rented a black 00 RT/10 for the day. Due to my background I've had the opportunity to drive a...
