The rims are SAVINI SV-16 19x6 up front and 19x17 out back. The tires are NITTO INVO 285/30 front, 345/30 rear. I am really impressed with the grip of these tires.
I finally fell to the temptation of those BIG SHINEY RIMS. After years of saying "I like the stock look" I finally ran across a set rims that were just unique enough for me. I also like the grip and noticeable ride quality improvement that came with the NITTO INVO tires. I got a one inch lift in...
I am purchasing a set of Savini SV-16 wheels and need tires for them. The dealer suggested these NITTO INVO tires as an alternative to Michelin PS2. Although I've heard of them I have no experience with them. Are they a good alternative with regards to performance?
I just had my side sills fixed last spring . The rivets that hold the heat shield are the culprits. I was told that washing the car and not bringing it up to temperature to remove the moisture is what causes the corrosion that starts a chemical reaction that eats the alluminum away. The body...
Unfortunatley I'm in need of a body shop that can be trusted to do some repairs to my Viper. I was enjoying a nice ride over the weekend in my viper when i unexpectantly came across an ordinary patio paver in the middle of my lane. The paver was small 4"x8"x2"thick and with no room to move into...
Do any of you guys drive your Vipers even though you know it will rain. The one regret I have about the Viper is that I will absolutley not drive it if there is even a 1% chance of rain. I will always see people in there Porsches and Vettes driving around in the pouring rain seemingly without a...
Thats some shine on those rims Knight. What are the long term effects of not having a clear coat on. Is the rim going to be less tolerant to corrosion.I would love to check out that shine.
I bought mine for 47K for and it was mint with 17k miles. I couldn't dream of parting with it for twice the money. How much do you think the feeling of blowing down the highway on a beautiful day and having lots of people giving you the thumbs up is worth? I can't seem to put a price on that.
My 97 GTS stock rims seem to be losing their luster. What is the best way to get them shiny and new again. I wash the car religiously and am noticing that the finish seems to be getting dull, almost like a haze effect.
I was at Ocean City, MD over the weekend where they had a mostly import car show. the cars were impressive but if I see one more STI or Supra I am going to puke. As I walked through the show with my Sneaky Pete viper logo shirt on I kept getting the same question. "Do you got one? OH. it...
Autoweek is reporting that the may be a 650hp viper tuned by McLaren available next year. That is just the type of thing that the Viper name needs to get it back ahead of the pack. The Z06 and GT40 have had their time in the sun, it's time for the car company that really is responsible for the...
I'm replacing the valve cover and intake gaskets on my 97 GTS. Should I go to the dealer or are there aftermarket gaskets that are better? If aftermarket is better where should I purchase them.
Santa\'s X-mas Gift
Santa brought great weather as a early christmas gift. I couldn't resist a ride around the Baltimore Beltway today. I saw another Viper owner with a red R/T. Funny, we both had the same "on top of the world" grin. Merry Christmas to All!!
I was cruising home in my worktruck today and saw a georgeous silver SRT with blue flames. It was parked at the M&T Bank in White Marsh. Does anybody know who that is? I'd like to get a closer look at that beast.
I want to buy a car cover for the snake. I'm looking for opinions on what works best for the money. The car is garaged kept and am primarily looking to help prevent an accidental scratch from the kids or other cars. Thanks
WOW, I think I've done a complete u-turn on my opinion of the new coupe. I was really disappointed with the first looks at the coupe but after further review..... the red/white coupe looks incredible. I don't know if the design was tweaked but it doesn't look like just an SRT with a GTS top. The...
I'm glad to see that the Viper community is still a proud one. I do see the reaction people have when I drive my GTS. Maybe the Car Rags should do a test called "spin around the block" I would bet my life that the Viper would turn more heads than almost any ride out there. A Corvette would...
It troubles me deeply that in the last two days in major auto mags the Viper has been trashed. A Motor Trend writer called the Viper a "Posuers" car in an article about the Ford GT. Todays' Autoweek has an article about the new Z-06 where they all but dismiss the Viper as a credible sports car...
