    Parts rack has some rude employee.

    I tried JonB a few times and attempted to become a customer a few times, but was quickly put on hold a few times and other times told to call back as he was tending to paying customers, all I was trying to become. That was a few years ago hopefully there is some hired help as the lack of time...

I would have preferred the non photochopped version but will admit I like Rhonda's choice of font:) The same file pic floating around our plant and the source of some ribbing from the guys, well deserved I supposed from those that...

    Part 1 Who lets their wife/Gf drive their Viper?

    Heck, females do not even have to date me and they can drive my GTS. I wasn't even in it a few weeks ago and had my friend and her friend cruise side by side a buddy and I in his GTS. It was fun for all, all about trust in my book. It was even thru heavy rain at one point, ouch. Have a pic of...

    Importing a Viper to Canada? Insurance??

    Well take heed to the above then, I've had my car three years now so my info is from 2001. I had enough of a hassle shipping my GTS thru the states in an enclosed carrier from BC/Washington to Michigan/Ontario, what a pain on my Cdn purchase simply shipped thru the US. You are no longer...

    Importing a Viper to Canada? Insurance??

    It's a diaster pulling a US spec car into Canada to drive it in Canada. Find the car you want in Canada that is Cdn spec is my advice. The dash has to be converted to Cdn sepc gauges and once that is done the orginality of the mileage is out the window. You can document, photograph and anything...

    Price of GTS???

    Hey Mike, Do a search on 96/97 and check out the differences between 96 and 97, there is some differences on them, minute, but differences (besides the obvious omission of rear plate stripes on 97). 97 was second year run at a brand new factory (Connor Ave in Detroit), might get a bit of a...

    Gears... who has 1/4 mile times vs stock?

    But is that fact Tom?:) I'll toss in it's a tie as well from 30-120, 50-120 and 70-120, I've done them all my OEM 3.07 gear to MCMM's 3.45, and then again my OEM 3.07 gear to MCMM's 3.07 gear. He went back to OEM from 3.45. Neat chart, remember that the common gear swap is to a 3.45 which...

    Gears... who has 1/4 mile times vs stock?

    I speakum no lies. :) We run each other just about every time we go cruising, and can confidently say that the gear in his car did not affect acceleration at all, I'll shoot this thread to him and hopefully he'll chime in. 1/4 mile times did not change but as noted the extra bang into 4th...

    Gears... who has 1/4 mile times vs stock?

    I've raced roll ons with the motor city madman in his near identical GTS to mine, several times, as well as dozens of 1/4 mile runs and we are within 5 hundredths of a second at the track and dead even on gear roll ons. I on 3.07 he on 3.45 I think it was. He went back to stock 3.07 and we just...

    My cooling solution

    Hey Dave, Check out the thread under products from West Coast Vipers rehitting the pcm with all sorts of goodies, including kicking the fan on at whatever temp you want, losing the skip shift, and most importantly more power everywhere, mostly in the middle of the curve, perfect. Mine is on...

    How do you do a 180 degree burnout

    I've got a good one on video of me in the GTS, part of a long video though, how do you snip a 5 second piece out of a longer video? If you stab the throttle to WOT from a cruising speed and break them loose then cut the wheel it will swing around 180 with practice. No brake at all. Fun stuff...

    My door won't latch

    Re: My door won\'t latch exact same problem on my 97 driver's door, to the point I gently close it until the popper "pops" then reopen and shut normally. if the door closes on the 2nd time with the same pressure and seals normally it is most likely an electrical issue, ie. the popper is in the...

    " Good " Viper ?

    Re: Hey Francisco, That's just it, never mind the just getting a job part, it's the getting established part that is more important. Maybe the concern for your situation is heightened a touch as so many of us on here have watched your posts fly past a 1000 in under a year and we feel like we...

    Are these wheels forged or cast?

    Cast for sure. That said, that's the most reasonable price I have seen yet from that guy on 96-98 5 spokes. He has had the same set on ebay for at least a year, maybe 2, I think the buy it know is 3000 for a set with Dunlops, only off by about a solid 1000, maybe more!haha

    Would you let a stranger drive your Viper?

    I did think it was strange considering a had a check in my hand in his name for a predetermined amount, the deal was non-negotiable. I had him go thru all the things I would do on the road, hands off the wheel, brake off the wheel, throttle off the wheel, etc. Certainly some element of risk...

    Would you let a stranger drive your Viper?

    I flew across the country to the West Coast, with a certified check in hand, and the seller still would not let me drive the car. In the end I was comfortable that perhaps the ownership of the car had been so fickle as well. 3 years later it has turned to be a perfect car that was maintained...

    Would you let a stranger drive your Viper?

    Friends that know how to handle the car and have demonstrated in their own rides, no problem. Strangers, not a chance here.
