    Gas Cap - Left at Gas Station

    Interesting.... I thought it may have been that I wasn't generating 1.21 gigiwatts in my flux capacitator....I'm calling Jon B for a new "Type R" muffler bearing immediately. :headbang:

    Gas Cap - Left at Gas Station

    Thanks all. Got the autozone one for $11. Works great. Unfortunately, as someone quite wisely pointed out, the lack of cap for several days triggered the check engine light. Also in a miraculous and unexplainable turn of events, the driver side power window also stopped working. Anyone care to...

    Gas Cap - Left at Gas Station

    I suspect I'm not the only one who had done this, but I left the plastic gas cap sitting at the gas station yesterday. Can someone tell me if this cap is a generic piece common to a lot of other cars and something I can replace at my local Autozone/Pep Boys, or are the dimensions somehow Viper...

    Cabin Fills with Smoke ala Roger Moore scene in Cannonball Run - WTF?

    Thanks. Assuming the heater is not on, is there any adverse effect from driving the car in this condition?

    Cabin Fills with Smoke ala Roger Moore scene in Cannonball Run - WTF?

    This morning while driving the GTS to work, white smoke began coming out of the defrost vents beneath the windshield, much to my shock and awe. After a couple minutes it got to the point where I could barely see out the windshield and I had to roll down the windows and pull over. After popping...

    Looking for the Best Viper Floormats

    I have the NorCal mats and they look great, but the Viper emblem does wear away over time if you drive the car a lot. My problem with them though is that they bunch up under the pedals which drives me completely insane. How are the snakeoyl mats in this respect? I want a really stiff back that...

    Mysterious Overheating Problem - Please help

    The temp sensor was replaced and the fan seems to be working ok for now. Thanks to all for the advice. It made things a lot easier to tell the dealer "you need to check this, this and this" per your suggestions. Happy holidays.

    Mysterious Overheating Problem - Please help

    Thanks guys. I'm taking it back to the dealer tomorrow. Based on the responses I'll definitely ask them to check the fan relays and the temp sensor. On the water pump, pardon my possible ignorance here, but would a failed water pump keep the fan from coming on? The problem here seems to be...

    Mysterious Overheating Problem - Please help

    Hopefully someone more knowledgable than my dealer can give me some advice. My 2000 GTS has started overheating in heavy traffic, which eventually means that I have to pull over. When I look under the hood, the fan is clearly not working. If I turn the car off and the ignition to the "on"...

    Hello everyone! Just another new Viper guy!

    Don't let the naysayers scare you away. My Viper is a daily driver here in Miami and it works just fine. Cabin heat? You'll want to replace the factory exhaust anyway and add hi-flow cats if the previous owner hasn't already done this, which reduces the problem. Plus my A/C blows nice and...

    Vipers back in Grand AM for 2004 !!!!

    The real question is whether it has been penalized out of being competitive. It has the highest minimum weight of the cars listed plus the air restrictors, MUCH heavier notably than the Porsches /Thanks for racing in Grand Am...brought to you by the fair and balanced leadership of Porsche USA...

    Why Vipers don't handle well?

    Re: Why Vipers don\'t handle well? Hey El Diablo, pick a hot day and bring your X5 to the track with you when you meet Cop Magnet. The heat soak is so bad on the supercharged M3s that it'll probably be slower down the straights than your x5 after a few laps, which should be good for a few...

    Why Vipers don't handle well?

    Re: Why Vipers don\'t handle well? I traded in my 99 M3 for my GTS (too many gay guys hitting on me in the M3)and Cop Magnet you need to put down the crack pipe and b-a-c-k a-w-a-y. The M3 is no contest for the Viper, either in a straightline or handling. Yes the M3 is much more forgiving...

    Cleaning K&N Filters

    A question on air filters. Do I need to buy the K&N cleaning kit for the K&N filters or is this a waste of money? Is the spray on oil of any value? Any reason not to just wash these with a mild dishwashing soap and water? Thanks.

    Who saw the Fast and the Fart can 2?

    Movie was disappointing. Really ridiculous racing scenes. Cars I wouldn't even consider as daily drivers touted as sports cars (eclipse convertible, come on, I can outrun that thing on foot). They did give respect though to American muscle, which was cool. Hold out for Bad Boys 2, the...

    not quite a dolphin - custom graphics

    2 fast, 2 hideous. That is an abomination. What is that "thing" in the center console, a dead animal he found on the road somewhere? That graphics scheme would look ok on a Hot Wheels car maybe. Living proof that money does not buy class....

    More drivers putting the pedal to the metal - news article

    The number one cause of accidents on the freeway in my opinion is lack of lane discipline. Slower trafffic refusing to keep right means people have to pass these morons in other lanes. Simple probablity says that the more people you have moving into each others lanes in opposite directions the...

    [******] NY Cops

    Amen, brother. I'm not sure which is worse, the politicians that keep passing more and more laws restricting our freedom or the mindless zealots in law enforcement that enforce them.

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

    Are we sure it's not French instead of Italian? ;)

    The competition is moving very fast.

    Unfortunately for BMW, I suspect it will also continue down their current path of grotesque deformity-like styling and way too much weight. Yeah it'll have 500 hp, but it will probably weigh 5000 lbs and drive like a Chest o' drawers with an engine strapped to it.

    your thoughts on 02 graphite color

    Graphite is nice, but Steel Gray is "Da Bomb". Nothing like the hint of purplish blue that shows up in direct sunlight. Very cool.

    I can confirm that one is sitting in DLM's garage under development.
