    Raffle Tix

    Hey all, I just bought a second ticket for the raffle under the R section (non VCA member). I had also bought an earlier ticket @ $200 using the same contact info. Can I either A) get the $75 difference (should be $125, not $200 fee) reimbursed to me, or if that is not possible B) apply it...

    =( Wow, and I was really spun up to see this, too. =(

    Meh. I just got in from work (no jury duty today!) and was excited like a kid waiting to see his prom date walk into the room for the first time. I've been looking forward to this with glee for MONTHS. I've been annoying the hell out of my wife and any/everyone who is unfortunate enough to...

    Viper Unveiling 4-4-12 !!!

    To you lucky dogs who go.... we want PICTURES. Tons of them! =) Me? I get to sit in jury duty at the opposite corner of Connecticut. Who knew people even lived in Danielson, CT? We, the discerning public, demand hi-res photos!! :2tu::usa:

    Real World

    Does anyone else look poorly on most unions which make noise in these trying times? I support unions when they step up to the plate when employees are being abused. Say, when retirement funds are found to have been SPENT illegally or significant things like utter cancellation of health bennies...

    Retrofitting ABS

    Has anyone looked into retrofitting the ABS systems of 01/02 cars into prior models? Probably an involved project, but I was curious. There are lots of cars on the market, and if it would probably be cost effective in the right scenario to pick up an earlier car with better mods as a whole and...

    Hi-Res Shots of new Anaconda Green Pearl???

    Does anyone have some good quality photos of an SRT10 in Anaconda Green Pearl?? :D I can picture most of the other colors pretty well, or just find photos readily available of them here, but AGP seems harder to find.

    '09 Coupe vs. '01 GTS

    Output and performance aside, what are some of the differences between the '09s rolling off the assembly line and the Gen IIs? This could be in terms of driving experience, quality of build, ease of maintenance, unique aspects. You name it. I had had my eye on the '01 GTSs for a while, but am...

    The Viper WILL continue past '09 !!!!

    That's right. You heard it here. The Viper WILL continue past 2009. Not just for the company, the Viper is also an American icon. The top of the food chain in U.S. detroit muscle apart from the limited-run Ford GT, and the ONLY one people anywhere overseas look at and take seriously. Except for...

    Get those Sapphire Snakes for sale in Spring of '08

    I hope to finally join the ranks here officially in the Spring. It's been 3 long years greater than I anticipated, but I'm finally at a point where I can begin looking again. I hope to get the house squared away first, but if the right car pops up I'll just have to jump at it. It feels good...

    Anyone have a spare?

    Sometimes you guys have a spare set of unused tires kicking around. In the mid-winter mod frenzy, has anyone turned up with a set of Michelin Pilot Sports they want to get rid of? I'm looking for stock dimensions for a 17" rim. Alternatively, where can I find the best price on these online...

    Dumb Question - can't change my sig????

    Dumb Question - can\'t change my sig???? Sorry guys, dumb question here... I wanted to change my sig and went to "My Home" and looked a few places but can't find it. I'm probably having an alzheimer's moment here, but I'd appreciate it if you could point out how to change my sig. Thanks...

    Concerns with high-miles Vipers?

    I know Joe117 has had good luck with his '94, but for those of you above 40,000 miles, what mechanical problems seem prevalent in these "high miles" Vipers? I've been keeping tabs on the Viper market for a while now and I have a few different years in mind. I am not the type to put just 1 or 2...

    Spinning Out.......

    There have been some recent posts concerning the number of Vipers that have been wrecked and/or those that have spun out. The general rule I pick up is that there are Viper owners that have spun and Viper owners that have yet to do the dose-do. I'm going on several interviews this week and next...

    Those who are selling - - how's the market?

    Those who are selling - - how\'s the market? I know its a sad prospect (except for those trading up to SRT-10s) but there are a lot of Vipers out there for sale right now. I was originally looking to get into a 97 or 98 GTS, but having seen a Sapphire '01 I will probably be waiting another year...

    Car just quits, please help

    Battery sounds good. What your dealer said about the cam position sensor makes a lot of sense and could fit the scenario - but the lack of any engine codes being thrown negated that possibility before the dealer replaced it. Other sensors like IAT are probably ok as well or they would throw a...

    Plus Size rims/tires

    The stock 275s and 335s are HUGE slabs of meat, but I was wondering if people have gone bigger? I'm curious because I'm looking at different GTSs with factory rims and think that any potential Viper I buy will eventually get a nice set of BBS rims like the ACR - or perhaps some HREs. Has...

    Dumb Question(s).......

    Ok, I've searched the archives but have not found answers to these two yet. 1 - I know that until '00 the pistons were forged, but what parts comprise the bottom end on the V10? Forged crank/rods? How many bolts are on the main caps? Staight/splayed? Basic caps vs billet? What kind of bearings...

    Heavy Clutch Pedal?

    I haven't had the chance to drive a GTS or RT/10 yet, and I may not be able to drive one before I buy..... which is something I am leery of. I would much prefer to drive one and get a feel for it before I test-drive whichever car I might buy - that way I can draw a comparison. But with the...

    Replacement Fascia / Grille

    Does anyone offer a replacement fascia for the Viper that has the spars cut out? The car looks fine as it is, but I saw a small picture of an RT/10 Carroll Shelby edition that had them cut out and would like to see some better pictures of this fascia somewhere.

    .....But will it take ABUSE?

    I went through the archives and there are a lot of posts from other shoppers who ask how the Viper hold up mechanically over time. The answers are all very positive. But then I realized that a large # of owners haven't broken 20k yet. If I get a Viper, I intend to drive it a LOT. Certainly 5k...

    Sound Clips?

    I went through the archives, but didn't find anything relating to this. Does anyone have a site with collected clips of different exhaust systems on Vipers? There must be 12+ different cat-back systems out there, but I don't feel like testing them all out at ~$1500 a pop. Even though I haven't...

    Roe's SC - who's running one?

    Roe\'s SC - who\'s running one? Well if that doesn't look like an easy DIY blower, I don't know what it. Personally, I've always had a thing for the ATIs, especially the newer P-1sc and D-1sc kits. No oil exchance, big transmission, serious durability. I'm sure one will find its way onto my...

    Looks like you're doing some shopping. TTT for ya.

    Still on the hunt! Differences between 97 to 99?

    I finally made the call to sell my troubled '00 C5 coupe. The car spent 9 months of the past two years in the shop for warranty work, so its time to move on. I bought the car new with the intent of keeping it forever, but I don't feel like footing the bill with so many non-drivetrain-related...

    Stock GTS and Nitrous ... anyone?

    Ok, so this is all purely hypothetical at the moment. But who sells a good nitrous system for the Viper? I am looking at 97 GTS. I know NOS offers a 135hp dry kit. But I'm not a big fan of dry. Do tuners offer custom wet kits? Anything from Nitrous Express? I've come to trust them in the...
