    PIKES PEAK SUMMIT: Anyone drive a bone stock Gen2 Viper up there w/o issues?

    I did Pikes Peak over 10 years ago with no issues, it ran a little warm at lower altitudes but the gravel part of the drive was slower and cooler. I did come down too fast and had the park ranger make me wait in a parking lot for my brakes to cool down. I believe he said that they were over...

    Pics of your viper with your daily driver

    I have 2003 and 1985 Vmax's, both first generation of course, I rode the 85' Max for 15 years and liked it so much I bought a second.

    Pics of your viper with your daily driver

    The Vmax gets the most miles and the Kubota gets the most hours. I have two miles of gravel on my 16 mile commute, takes 18 min. each way. Old GMC van for snow days which is just a half dozen or so here.

    Transmission fluid change

    I have been using Amsoil 75-90wt gear lube for nearly 50K miles, I think the gear box runs a little cooler. Only down side is hard to get into second when the temps are freezing until the oil warms.

    Sandhills Open Road Challenge Shootout

    Here are a few pictures from the shootout--Viper only. Number 81 did 192 in the half mile but I believe it has the heart of a Chevy:dunno:

    What the heck did my car just do?

    Craig, you might want to check the wiring and placement of the VEC, it might be getting too hot and acting up or maybe a bad connection. I'm guessing but that could mess with the output to the speedo

    Viper will not go into gear at all? Suggestions?

    Through the years mine had done this occasionally, maybe once every 200 starts, I just use second to move a little then it goes into gear just fine.

    Gen 2 Edelbrock headers

    Just got mine for $691, here are a couple of photos of the collector. The tubes are 1 3/4" not 2 3/4" and all headers have to restrict their exhaust flow down to whatever your exhaust it, 2 1/2, 3 or 4 inches. Five 1 3/4" tubes have the same area as one 3.91" tube.

    What's the latest recognition your Viper has had?

    I went to a Fathers Day car show sponsored by a local church and won the Kid's Choice award!

    2000 mile drive showed some problems

    You may have just evaporated the water and unburnt gas out of the oil. I have a 97' and it has always had drive-train lash that is most noticeable in 6th on level highways using the cruise control.

    Snake Oyl Cruise Control

    I've been using one for 6 years on my GTS, The only issue I have is down a long steep hill on the highway the speed will creep up to illegal because the engine in sixth gear does not produce enough engine braking to slow it down, otherwise it works great.

    Buying a Viper from eBay, so how's it been for you guys?

    I found my car on Ebay then bought it through the VCA classifieds. I bought it sight unseen but I did investigate the seller who has an excellent reputation both on these boards and through his business. I couldn't be happier with the purchase, thank you Paul Scharf. 31,000 miles later I'm...

    Why is car running hotter when moving?

    This may sound stupid but is there any way the polarity on the fan motor got switched? A backwards running fan could cause what you have.:D

    How your snake got in your garage....

    Worked my a** off for 14 1/2 years at a blue collar job doing all the overtime I could get and saving half of everything I got in some decent mutual funds. Then I inherited a house and took a close look at my net worth, shocked myself and decided to start living it up. Bought a motorhome, the...
