    2001 Sapphire & Silver GTS for sale

    I have had the honor of being the original owner of a 2001 sapphire blue and silver striped GTS for 18 years, but it's now time to move on. Simply don't find the time to drive it, and it's a shame to leave it sit in the garage. It's set up for light track use, but I never really got out more...

    Viper mechanic in the Portland, OR area?

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a good Viper mechanic in the Portland area? I used to go to Ted May at Valaya Racing, but moved up to Oregon a month ago. Had one vote for Gresham Dodge, but would prefer someone out the West or North side of town if possible. Thanks, Nik

    Tips on changing rear pads?

    So this wasn't the first time I've done it, but it was the most frustrating. I was swapping in new brake pads in the rear today and well, there's got to be a better way. The difficulty came from trying to screw in the piston into the calipers. I have the Lisle disk brake tool cube, one side...

    Good Dodge dealership in Northern California, Bay Area for warranty work?

    Hello Rapture, Welcome to the club. I'm in Berkeley, where are you? Anyway, I have strong opinions on this subject. Here goes: Negherbon Dodge, Oakland - avoid like the plague. Absolutely horrid customer service, terrible technical skills, wouldn't know a Viper if it bit them on the...you...

    99 ACR Suspension Question(s) (new owner)

    Don't know about the GTS suspension, but my ACR seems to be adjustable for damping and rebound. There are two tiny dials at the top which have multiple (8?) positions for each. And yes, the car can be lowered although I hear most people don't drop more than 1/2" to 3/4". Hope it helps.

    key and paint problem, advice?

    So, it finally happened. Some pusillanimous toad keyed my Viper the other night. Parked in a lit and "guarded" lot while I was at dinner, and the aforementioned putrescent muckdweller added a two foot long scratch down the top of the passenger side rear quarter-panel. Other than justifiable...

    Is anyone going to run in the Virginia City Hill Climb in Nevada this weekend? If you're driving up from the Bay Area on Friday, let me know, maybe we could caravan. I hope I keep it rubber side down and between the ditches....
