    Value of Yellow 96/97 5-Spoke Wheels?

    Anyone know what the going prices are for the Yellow 5-spokes that came on the '96 Red RT/10's and a few of the 97 GTS cars? I was home for the holidays and my Dad reminded me I had a set stored in his garage and asked what I wanted to do with them. Given the size and weight I'm not sure it's...

    Clear Bra

    Who's had one done on a Gen 1/2 locally? Thoughts impressions? I've been considering having one done on my GTS as the paint is all still in really good shape. I'd like to pull the car out for some more mountain cruising but don't want to worry about chipping up the still-good paint. I'm still...

    Those with B&B/Random Tech combos

    I'm looking for some info on an exhaust combo, specifically B&B headers, Random Tech metal substrate cats and a Random Tech cat-back. My questions are, if you have this combo or maybe if you even just have B&B headers, does the installation require any welding? If I go this route I'd...

    Northern California Vipers come on out

    I know the club just had it's meeting at Santana Row Tuesday evening, but I wanted to let you know about a weekly gathering of exotics Saturday mornings. I cruised out last Saturday and was the only Viper out there. Lots of interest in the Viper and some of the Ferrari guys have asked if any...

    Anyone chromed a set of CCW wheels?

    I really like their SP600 wheel, but the polished finishes always seem to dull over time. I've seen pictures where they look spectacular, but when I've seen them in person actually on a car, they don't have the shine like a chrome finish. I'm not sure if CCWs are clear coated or not, or maybe...

    Snake-Oyl Rear Sub-Assembly

    If anyone has a Snake-Oyl rear sub-assembly laying around please PM me. I'm considering picking one up to hold me over until I decide what I want to do with my exhaust.

    E-Bay or Autotrader?

    I wanted to ask those who have sold a Viper lately what their thoughts are on E-Bay and/or AutoTrader(.com)? One better than the other? What kind of success was seen? Did you get your asking price? Lot of tire kickers? Any E-Bay buyers backing out? I'm looking at moving to a GTS and want to find...

    Venzano & Stuff - Pictures

    Congratulations on finally getting it back. We'll have to meet up some time. I'd really like to check it all out in person. It looks reaaly nice. My only question is, are the wrinkles in the leather around the glove box door normal? Seems like they may not have stretched it tight enough to me...

    4 Post Lift Collapsed

    http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=258483&page=1 Just wanted to give a heads up as I know several members use these for storage and service. The model involved is a Perfect Park from Lifts Unlimited. I know this is really not RT/10 or GTS specific, but it would seem important...

    Who sells the best priced supercharger for a Gen I?

    I believe their are only two companies that make superchargers for the Gen1 motor and both costs will depend on the level of the kit you choose. The two I am aware of are Doug Levin and SVSI. Try giving them a call to discuss costs of an entry level kit. You could also check out Golden West, as...

    03 Ordering, pricing, dealers, etc.

    We have local dealers here in Northern CA. who are offering orders to certificate holders for "X" amount over INVOICE (where X is ranging from $500 - $1000). They are taking deposits of $500 - $1000 to secure the order as well. So, dealers CAN work with you and give you some numbers. It sounds...

    Viper FAQ

    A suggestion, especially after seeing yet another "Viper as a daily driver?" thread. Can the user registration default to the FAQ off the main Viperclub.org page after registration is complete? Then have a link at the bottom of that page to the UBB. I imagine it will help most people, and only...

    REMOVE EXHAUST CATS

    You can remove the cats and replace them with straight pipes if you like. There should be no ill effects on the engine or the PCM. It will be loud though, but loud is good! Matt

    Got a question.

    These questions have all been asked before. Try doing a search on key words such as cost, warranty, reliability, insurance, etc. -Matt

    Are all Viper black seats the same for all years?

    I know the black seats in my '96 RT/10 are not perforated like the newer black seats, but am unsure if the finish appears any different. Matt

    Are 3.73 rear gears too much for a '96 RT/10?

    Re: Are 3.73 rear gears too much for a \'96 RT/10? In my opinion, 3.73 are to steep. With the massive amounts of torque we have, you would be fighting for traction at anything but minimal throttle. Also, first and probably second gear would become useless. They would go by in a blink of an eye...

    Mods for Gen1

    My '96 has mild intake and exhaust mods and I think it really is the icing on the cake. Your list of mods looks to be about perfect. IMHO, after those listed, the performance return on investment starts to go down. Installed rockers run about $2700. I think that's a bit steep for the...

    Where can I rent a Viper in Northern California

    Zaino and Detailing Questions

    OK, I've switched from Meguires on my previous cars to Zaino on the Viper and this multiple coat system is wreaking havok on my supply of applicators and towels, etc. Some questions: 1) How do you wash the Zaino cotton/foam applicators? 2) Do you wash them between every application or can you...

    Oxidized Paint--Zaino

    I'm guessing this isn't on your Viper as it looked pretty good the last time I saw it. Depending on how bad the oxidation is you could try using the 3M 39009 Swirl Mark Remover or the more abrasive 3M Rubbing compound to buff it out. Both of these ARE abrasives though so they will remove some...

    Pressure plate spring life?

    After taking my '96 RT/10 (8865 miles) in for an oil change and some service I learned that I will need to replace my clutch (more precisely the pressure plate springs, but as I understand it, it's a whole assmebly) soon. It is my understanding that they wear from holding the clutch (like while...

    Twin supercharger emissions legal performance package

    OH MY GOD! When can we hear more? Like where are you going to fit TWO superchargers. As a Dodge dealer can you comment on how this would effect the servicing of the Viper (ie. will other dealers refuse to service it because of this)? Will existing warrantees on non-driveline components still...
