    Have a manual for a 1998 Viper

    If anyone is interested, I was cleaning out my closet and came across this 1998 Manual. It's well used. If anyone wants it, I'll send it to them.

    Thinking of selling my 98 GTS

    It's been almost 10 years since I last sold a car. It was a BMW M5. It sold pretty quickly. I don't really have room for the Viper since we're getting another car. I put together a little web page for it here. http://racevideo.info/vipersale/viper.html Any thoughts or suggestions would be...

    Do engine mounts need to be broken in?

    I have 98 GTS. It is having it's motor and transmission mounts changed. It has about 50K miles on it. Mark J had recommended that I eventually have them changed, otherwise the car has nothing wrong with it. I was wondering if there is a break in period to let the mounts settle in?

    Left front rotor seems a little loose

    I'm not really much of a mechanic but I got new PS2's. It seemed like one of the front tires was not balanced right. I took it back and they said it was fine. I put it back on and it still feels out of balance. I removed the front wheels and was going to take them to another place for...

    Viper in the snow

    Haven't posted in quite awhile. The conditions were perfect for a snow drive in the parking lot behind my house. Here's the link to the video. I'm trying the flash video encoder. No Vipers were harmed in the making of this video. You may have to click twice on the play button to get it...

    When you drive a Viper someone is always trying to outdo you.

    I had just gotten my Viper back. It was sitting out in front of the house. This guy just "happened" to drive by and stop. It's amazing the lengths people will go to.

    Big Bad Wolf Drives a Black Dodge Viper

    I was listening to my latest books on tape that I downloaded. "The Big Bad Wolf" This is a James Patterson Novel. He's describing this horrible Red Mafia figure driving a black Viper. I guess we've moved up. I thought the crime novel figures got chauffeured around in Black Mercedes. I...

    Just a question about videoing Viper events.

    Not mentioning anything in particular. I do quite a bit of video work. Its boring around here so I need a hobby. If someone participates in Viper events and photographs or Videos are they restricted in what they video or take pictures of? Second, if they then show these pictures in some...

    For the seriously bored Viper owner.

    Still trying to learn how to program in Flash. Exercise today was in duplicating lines and objects. Then adding controls and hit tests. It has a Viper and lots and lots of Z06's. (hence the duplication) Pacman Viper Don't take seriously.

    Thinking about building a garage.

    Our house is getting a little too crowded with cars. I don't have the heart to sell any of them. We may be building a remote garage. Probably be a metal building that will hold three cars. Does anyone have any experience with this? The questions I have: How much room would be good to have...

    Car and Driver states this is a face that will scare Vipers.

    This picture was taken out of the July 2003 Car and Driver. They claim it is a "face that will scare Vipers". Pg 48. The Verdict. I guess it is a copy write infringement, but if its supposed to scare us, we should be able to see it and decide for ourselves. Frankly, I'm not that scared...

    Attempt to outrun Viper. Not serious.

    I was reading an article in a Video magazine recently. The article was about a course in a High School. The class was to make a video to misrepresent an issue. The basis of the course was to teach the students not to believe everything they see. Therefore, I thought I'd do the same. Don't...

    Removable front license plate holder.

    After 4 years of driving around the same Policemen at the same time, finally one bright guy has noticed I have no front license plate. He asked me, "Do you know you don't have a front license plate?" To which I replied politely, "Yes I do have one, its in the back" I used the line about the...

    Are Vipers too big to drive in Europe.

    There was an article in Autoweek about how Corvettes just don't seem to fit in Europe. I wonder how the Viper would do? Here's a link to a professional survey. What Europeans think of the Viper Don't take it seriously.

    Just a comment about people wanting to see how fast the viper is.

    Maybe its just me, but everytime someone wants to "challenge" me, they seem to have someone in the car with them. Doesn't that add about 200lbs or so to the weight of the car, and won't that effect performance?

    Now I can stop as well as I go.

    I bought a new M5. It made the Viper's brakes seem so inadequate. I decided to upgrade. The instructions said if you really wanted the brakes to bed well you need to get the car up to 100mph and then slow to 5 mph. Repeat 10 times. Its a little trickey to find a place to do that. I did...

    Renting a Viper.

    Find a Porsche Twin Turbo in a used car lot. Rent a Lincoln Town Car. Show up at the Porsche dealer. Tell him that you just flew in in your Private Jet. You heard about the Porsche and want to take it for a test drive. Then take the Porsche to the Dodge dealer. Tell them that you're...

    View out office managers window.

    When I thought about (for a brief fleeting second, I'm better now) about maybe trading the Viper. My office manager was the most upset. I looked out her window and saw why. She gets to see it all day long.

    Problem with going to a quick lube.

    If they have two stalls, all work in the other stall comes to a halt so they can all look at the Viper. Makes the other car owner a little put out. I know the guy who runs the Quick lube and he's a performance car enthusiast. He came out and supervised the whole thing. It only cost me about...

    Anyone have this reaction when they look at new cars.

    I looked at a 996TT the other day. When my staff at my office found out I was looking at another car, they totally freaked out. I had no idea the Viper carried so much passion with the people that just look at it. The only way I could get a new car now is if I kept the Viper. Looks like I'm...

    Die Hard Battery

    After three and half years of trusty work, my Mopar battery just gave up the ghost. The temperature had just hit freezing which was too much for the battery. It wouldn't even charge. Called my local Dodge dealer, but they have to order a battery. <center>Can't do without the Viper that long...

    A new fuel filler cap. When you live in a place like this, it can be pretty exciting.

    Life without my snake!

    The worst part about any type of modification like that is waiting for it to be done. Its like going to an expensive French restaurant. By the time the food comes you are so incredibly hungry it tastes that much better.

    Hands still uncut post wires.

    In an unprecedented move. Never happened in my garage before. I installed the new wires without cutting my hands and arms all up. Only about 4 to 5 obscenities and a growling look at my wife. My evening project About 2 grueling hours later Don't you hate it when they do this...
