96 GTS Plugs: Using Champion rc12ecc instead of rc12lyc
The Champion reference information is a shadow of what it used to be back in the 70's. Their codes are not standard: a 3-letter code could be 3-things or 1. Thanks- Tom and Vipers

Switched Insurance
I like Hagerty for Collector Car insurance. They allow: 1) locked garage, 2) garage w/o a door, car port, and parked in the driveway! All Hail Hagerty! J.C. Taylor can Burn in Hell. Your daily driver can be no more than 20 years old (mine is a 74 Datsun 620 pickup!)- Tom and Vipers

Dump it or restore it (96 RT/10 Special Edition)
Drive it. Who cares what she looks like if she's "good in bed!" A truly ratty Viper is cool! - they look like they just did an endurance race! Brake dust is beautiful! If you are obsessed with paint, wrap it (I have no idea what that costs.) Either go clear matte or something else...- Tom and Vipers

1996 GTS fuel pump replacement options: 255 Walbro and Mat?
I'd love to find a 2-stage pump but that is a losing proposition. Aftermarket units are not 2-stage and the OE is only 190 lhp which is pretty wimpy and very unattractive considering used prices of a module ranging up to $1500. A Gen 3 pump (255 lhp) would be a no-brainer but I don't think...- Tom and Vipers

Dodge Viper stereotypes and sayings
When I drive my Viper I know exactly what it is like to be a beautiful woman with big t*ts. Staring, whistling, revving there engines and smiles, V's and thumbs up too. Still, I have a profound background in sleep street racing in the 70's and I prefer the anonymity. But now that I'm old...- Tom and Vipers

Rear toe deflects by Half an Inch GenII
The article link shows a nice tubular fabbed stiffener while the parts vendors show a completely different billet bracket - both parts for a Gen 2 GTS. The vendor parts will not bolt to where the tubular bracket bolts. Does anyone sell the tubular bracket?- Tom and Vipers

2000 GTS tire options ?????
Buddy of mine just started running them on his 8 second VW and raves about them - I like the idea of the extra traction (511 rwhp.) He did say on the sticker there is a warning about operating them under 50* F. This is even higher than Pirelli's ridiculous 45* F warranty limit which basically...- Tom and Vipers

So which Viper is or will be the most collectable?
Most Iconic: 96 GTS. Mint, no miles, of course (so what's the point if you can't drive it? - I suppose you could have 2: one for idolatrous worship and one to drive.)- Tom and Vipers

Help need in a poorly stored viper?
I guess 2 very relevant questions: Spill - what is the price? How do you plan to use it and how many miles do you expect to put on it? But again, how are the coil-overs broken?- Tom and Vipers

Help need in a poorly stored viper?
It wasn't clear, is this car a GTS or vert? If a vert, I would say No IF you've never driven verts. You may discover you never put the top down and with some cars, the top down experience is, well, no experience at all. EXAMPLE 98 Z28 Camaro vert: with top down you cannot tell the top is...- Tom and Vipers

O2 Cable Extensions: Yes or No?

Mail ordering dealer O2 sensors for 96 GTS: any chance getting wrong connector type?
Decided to get the OE manu aftermarket ones from RA for $27 as compared to $120 from Woodhouse. NOTE: Some Dodge dealerships will toss you big discount on a whim. At Lilith in Reno, NV I joked about the $28 oil filter and she wrote me up for $20 or $22 (don't remember.) Turns out I also...- Tom and Vipers

96 GTS: Heater/AC: Low Vent Flow Velocity: Possible causes?
Drove car home successfully using AC for almost 3000 miles - the continued use seemed to "free up" "stiffness" in the heater duct box. Still, hope to disassemble to get the most out of system. ALSO replacing the compressor hose O-rings appear to have eliminated the system slow leak (knock on...- Tom and Vipers

1996 GTS Last minute headlight maintenance

Long story short: mine got run over. Dimensions: 6-1/4 x 3 x 1-1/4 with a small notch at a corner. Hoping to leave NV Sunday driving car home to PA - hoping not to resort to Saran Wrap.... (car does not have hood part of the inner fenders) Thanks https://imgur.com/a/ox1NCJ7- Tom and Vipers
