    Navigation System in 1997 GTS

    I worked for Etak, Inc. for the first 9 years of it's existence (we developed the worlds first automotive navigation system). Even then, we didn't need to use the speedometer for accurate navigation. We used the combination of a flux-gate compass, map database and wheel sensors. Todays...

    What would YOU pay??

    $35K seems like a good price for the car. If I owned it I wouldn't sell it for $1.00 less than $35K assuming it's never been damaged and it is in fact mint. If it's been damaged, I wouldn't pay $1.00 over $20K for it. IMO

    Viper Owners, Quit your whining

    That's true, I'm sure you could do that and it would look great. But... you could do that with any car. A viper shouldn't have to have a body kit added to it to look great, the way it should have from the factory. Maybe DC will buy the molds from autoform and start using them for 2005...

    Viper Owners, Quit your whining

    LOL! I can't stop laughing! :) The comment about Mike Tyson talking cracks me up! LOL! I'm with you guys. I personally think they should have made a completely seperate product with the SRT because it is a great car, just not a Viper. We had the Cobra, a great car, then we have...

    Viper Owners, Quit your whining

    yea, it's one thing to have an opinion on how a car looks, but to write a bunch of falsehoods such as the a/c, valve tappets and such is wrong, as well as calling us idiots.

    can we get the name of the "writer"? I wonder if he also writes fiction for CNN's political liberal left.

    Viper Owners, Quit your whining

    Ridiculous article. It's almost as bad as how the liberals twist the news and facts. 1). I would say 90% of current viper owners don't like the new style, not just 50%. 2). I can't hear my valve tappets, they are quiet, now my miata on the other hand, I need the bose sound system to drown...

    GT2 wing - I want one

    It may not but it may look great too, I don't know. I do know that I will model it in 3D and render it first to see how it would look before I actually buy one.

    GT2 wing - I want one

    I LOVE the white/blue GT2 viper. I've always thought the white/blue is by far the best looking color combination. (that's why I bought a 96 white/blue RT). I would love to be able to afford a GT2 as in the other post, but can't right now. So, I was thinking of adding a GT2 wing to my RT...

    Are Vipers too radical for most people??

    You have to remember that mag editors are used to driving cars for the masses. (vans, wagons, econoboxes). It probably scares the pants off em when they just look at one. They (GTS/RT's) can be intimidating just to look at! That's also why they don't get the best times in them either at the...

    g tech time with the viper What do you think?

    Not true. They've actually been proven to be VERY accurate. Not as accurate as a track obviously and are generally a tad faster than it should be but for baseline comparisons they are great. What is not accurate on the G-techs is the hp/torque ratings.

    My finished mods pics..for NOW

    Great looking 96! I like everything with the exception of the front lower fascia. I never cared for the Heny*** body stuff. Kind of made a great looking car look wierd IMHO. I agree, carry the stripes through whatever front fascia you have or end up with (go back to stock hint hint) and it...

    Road atlanta Sept 27,28

    WHOA WHOA WHOAAAA! The truth comes out! You mean all that smack timz has been saying (on here and the vette forums) about how the z06 is so much faster than a Viper and this is how he proved it? Running race tires and pre-running the course and he still only won by such a slim margin...

    J.H. tuner ( guess who ) touchy subject but have to know.

    Exactly. It's a lot easier to take advantage of someone when they are out of state rather than in your backyard. What's amazing is that there are still some people (very few obviously) that are still doing business with him and even one tuner who sells his products. Anyone who looks the other...

    We just paid off the Viper!

    Me TOOO!! I paid mine off about 2 weeks ago and what a nice feeling it is. I've only had mine for a year and have enjoyed every minute of it. Congrats to you!

    I moved to the dark side--bought a Vette

    No worries! I'm looking to sell my miata and get ANOTHER vette. No, they aren't a viper and don't compare in terms of handling, power and most importantly driver "thrill" but they are still a nice car, especially for the $. They are a great car for a daily driver no doubt.

    Hot Rod Magazine Viper in the 8's

    Re: Hot Rod Magazine Viper in the 8\'s There is absolutely nothing wrong with holding people "accountable". If we don't, then the bad and illegal actions some have taken will be "accepted". I for one won't accept that. I just think people ought to be held accountable. Seems that some people...

    2nd VIper VS ZO6??? Need advice!

    I agree, if it's primarily her car, let her decide. It really depends on her personality and what she wants out of the car. Is it important for her to have the best handling/fastest production car made in the US? Or, does she want a very comfortable, low key, but respectable mild mannered...

    Viper VS. Z06 - VIDEO!!

    Baghdad Bob, (err I mean zo6les), just because you believe a z06 is faster doesn't make it so. Just because you propagandize that it's faster doesn't make it so. Just because you post it doesn't make it so. Numbers and facts speak for themselves. Read ANY published review. It's nonsense to...

    How important speed and power was to you when you bought a Viper?

    Definately LOOKS. I don't even have to drive my car to enjoy it. (driving it is definately better than looking though) The fact that it is the fastest and best handling car made in america was just an added bonus. I owned my vette and thought it was time to step up to the viper. LOOKS sold me!
