    membership renewal

    Package, including decal, came yesterday. Is it just me, or do we just not get much for our $100 per year? :confused:

    Viper mag back to the same old bullship

    Well, I take it from that comment that the latest issue I have is not the issue that is currently out. What issue is out now, Spring or Summer? The last one I got was Spring with the new coupe on the cover. :confused:

    Viper mag back to the same old bullship

    Hey, what issue is out now?? The last one I got was the Spring 2005 issue (the "coupe de grace" issue with the new coupe on the cover). The reason I ask is that I've not received the last 5 or 6 issues when they were released. Every time, I think to my self "Well it's time (or past time) to be...

    chromed gen II wheels, who's done it?

    Re: chromed gen II wheels, who\'s done it? Here's a couple of shots of one of my chromed '97 wheels next to one of the car's stock '96 wheels. The wheel was not altered physically during the polishing and plating (even the centers). The chrome finish is mirror slick. Hope these help. :cool:

    chromed gen II wheels, who's done it?

    Re: chromed gen II wheels, who\'s done it? I sent a used set of '97 wheels to Calif. Chrome Wheel and they turned out super nice! You can see before and after pictures in my gallery (including the packaging that CCW uses to ship back to the customer). Price was indeed $150 per wheel...

    for all those that want more HP....

    Janni, You made a good case for how goofy the real world can be these days (people that can't/won't take resopnsibility). The best tip I got when I bought my car was from the original owner. He made the comment about how these things sure would try to spin around on you if you weren't on your...

    Anyone try spring lowering caps?

    Tom, The thread was great. Nice job getting the shocks set up to turn the ends down. Was that correct about running 200 to 250lb. heavier springs in the rear? How'd the Viper wind up being backwards? Round trackers (and most street cars, I think) are the other way around (heavier springs in...

    600hp Hemi V-10 for the new SRT Coupes!

    OK, how about this. Chevy went with a 427ci small block in the Z06 (remember the 427/425 horse big blocks, L88's, ZL1's, etc. of the '60's). Well, Dodge is pretty inclined towards nostalgia too ("Charger", etc.). How about a 500+ hp 426ci Hemi :eek: for the Viper. Lose nose weight (aluminum...

    Anyone try spring lowering caps?

    Tom, Great shots of your project in your gallery. Thanks for the idea! What brand sleeve and spring seat did you use? What rate (and brand) springs did you wind up running (front and rear). And what was the ride height before and after (front and rear), and where did you measure it from...

    Anyone try spring lowering caps?

    Also, has anyone used item #20 in the Northwine list ("Ride height adjuster"), and if so, how easy/hard was the installation? Seems like an inexpensive way to make the stock coilovers adjustable. You could drop the car the full inch, check it out, run it up a little if you didn't like it, then...

    What’s your favorite Modification you have done to your Viper?

    My car is pretty much bone stock, so my best one is not very radical. But it was a SUPER value. Had an extra set of stock wheels chrome plated at California Chrome Wheel. Great quality work, and made a heck of a difference on the blue car. And for $150 per wheel (including center) they sure give...

    New SRT & Comp Coupe pictures, new angles too...

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Best post on the new coupe yet. It really is a pretty good looking car (especially the first and second pics, and the first group shot). I think it helps to have the original SRT wheels on it simply for the fact that it is easier to compare the car to the SRT and look at...

    Photos of New Coupe at Detroit Show

    Thanks Hisserman. Wonder who is running this show (the presentation of the car to the public)? I mean, we have seen 3 different ride heights (ground clearance) in the last three presentations (studio pics, LA show and now Detroit). And to make it worse, first they get it wrong (too high), then...

    Info from the Detroit show?

    Autolifters 4 post lift, any good ? Hows the pricing ?

    Camfab's info about switches is correct. A limit switch is a must, and the "deadman" switch (master power switch) near the controls is also a must. I had the master installed just above the controls in a normal light switch style setup. I put it up failry high, that way when your not using it...

    Autolifters 4 post lift, any good ? Hows the pricing ?

    Jon, Are you going to use it in the garage in your avatar picture? I ask because I just put in a two post Magnum (American Tire Distributors house brand, produced by Wheeltronic) in my shop at home about three weeks ago. One of best tools I have ever bought. But most two post lifts require about...

    Info from the Detroit show?

    Watched the ZO6 introduction that hisserman linked in another thread (www.corvettez06.com). Boy, I mean, "GM-TV"? Wow, they don't screw around. Sure hope DC has something good (read that "BIG") planned for the Viper in Detroit. I love my Viper and the Viper line in general, but I also grew up...

    Info from the Detroit show?

    CNBC had an interview with the Chrysler CEO before 1pm about the company and the new Charger,and you could see (what appeared to be) the new Coupe over his right shoulder in the background (probably 50-75 ft away). On a turntable with a flat platform (didn't like that arched platform in the LA...

    Anyone with info and pictures from the SRT Coupe display at the Detroit Auto Show? Any pleasant surprises? Any more horsepower? An official name for the car?

    New Viper Coupe at LA auto show

    What are they (DC) going to name it? Will it be a GTS (obviously, I hope not)? A "GTSRT-10" :eek: , an "SRT-10 GT" :smirk: ? Does it say anything under the "VIPER" emblem on the fenders (it sure looks like there is something there in the pictures)? It looks like this is what we are going to...

    New Coupe Media Pics ... 5MP+ Previews 640x480 inside

    First picture is the best (more direct light). Really shows the benefit of them lowering the car about, oh what, a full 3 inches or more over how it sat in the studio pictures. Wonder what the ride height (ground clearance) is in the first three pics, 2 - 2.5 inches? How about real world ride...

    Am I the only one????

    What's the date on the current issue that has gone out (to some anyway)? The last one I got was the "fall 2004" issue. And I only got it (and the other two I had missed) by posting on the thread like this one a few months ago. Now granted, that time Fiona from the VCA office saw the post and...

    Where to get factory 96 GTS wheels chromed?

    I have a set of '97 wheels out there now (California Chrome Wheel). Bought a used set to send and have plated, while keeping the original '96 wheels unaltered. They should be done any day now. Dealing with them has gone well so far ("John" has been the person I've dealt with). Will post when the...

    My Gen II Snake with SRT-10 Wheels/Tires!!! What do you think?

    Well now I'm pi$$ed! Obviously, after seeing your before and after pictures, I should have held off on buying your stock wheels and waited to find some SRT-10 wheels for my '96!! They look great on your car and your old wheel are already on their way to Calif. Chrome Wheel. I think we both came...
