    Front license plate in Texas?

    I just typed out a long response about getting pulled over and had it deleted when I tried to preview it. Maybe my computer thought it was boring. Suffice it to say, I got a warning 6 weeks ago in Fort Worth for no front plate. I was in an Infiniti. Since that time, I have been riding around...

    PICS OF MY HEFFNER SRT TWIN TURBO... (FINALLY)

    Beauteous. Black is such an intimidating color. But where's the stripe? (j/k).

    Big Bend Open Road Race

    I'm gamey. I like my GTS too much to drive it all the way out there-so I guess a trailer's in my future. Anybody else driving or hauling?

    Extended Warranty BS

    Remember the good ol' days of Sears Craftsman tools? Just take in an old broke wrench and they'd give you a new one. I am so leery of warranties after I got hosed with a $500 laptop warranty. After sending the unit in for repairs a couple of months before the 3 yr. warranty was up, I got a...

    Wheels America - anyone used them?

    I used them twice(8 wheels) with decent results, but not on Viper wheels. Very inexpensive, maybe worth a shot if it's just a cosmetic problem. One of my wheels was busted-there was a tear in the cast Aluminum about 2 inches long after running over a board on the interstate. They repaired it...

    Why buy a viper, when you can do this to a vette !! (PICS)

    I dunno, I kinda like it. After all, it is very shiny(sarcasm to be inserted at this point).

    got screwed by the dealer and arrow rebuild must read

    I don't think many dealers are going to be very sympathetic with an 11 year old car after it drives off their lot. What I gather, is you have an issue with Arrow, since an engine they rebuilt only lasted 4800 miles? But most techs and rebuild facilities don't transfer warranties, do they? So...

    If I did another group buy on the 4 post Car lifts...anyone interested?

    Interested, but I may need to wait a couple of months.

    Thinking about trading the Viper..... see pics??

    If that was my car, I'd have to build my own racetrack for it, or keep it at a "country club" type track. But I'd never want to drive it on public roads or park it anywhere and leave it, not even for 10 minutes. Thanks for showing the photos.

    1996 RT/10 - To buy or not to buy... that is the question

    I think to get in a non-wrecked Viper at 32K is awesome, provided no additional work is needed! But have a pre-buy inspection done by someone that works on Vipers.

    Anyone using a shift light?

    Easy install, but confirming which is the correct wire takes a bit of detective work.

    How confident are you in your Valentine 1?

    The V-1 will not save your meat like that. You got lucky, no different than if it was turned off. You have to use it with common sense to be most effective. Night is a bad time. Some local at a DQ that you don't see hears you, and turns instant on, after he speeds up to you. In the daytime...

    AVOID THIS VENDOR HE CAN'T BE TRUSTED don't delete people need to know !!!

    Re: AVOID THIS VENDOR HE CAN\'T BE TRUSTED don\'t delete people need to know Thanks for this informative post, SCLSSRT10. This isn't rocket science. SCLSSRT10 paid for something to be delivered, and it wasn't. He paid the vendor-no one else. It was the vendor's responsibility to deliver...

    Anyone in Dallas, Texas?

    I'm outside of Fort Worth, which is outside of Dallas. I may be up for a shindig.

    2005 Ford GT Black & Silver

    So much better in black or blue-looks too much like an older Ferrari in red IMHO. Gull-wing doors would've been the cherry on top.

    server problems ?

    Another local VCA member and myself commented on this a couple of days ago. It seems early morning, 5am EST-10AM is the worst. Don't know what the problem is, but we time out commonly.

    who needs a 1998 GTS-R??????

    A price of 150% of a reg. GTS seems about right to me, but this is the first one I've seen for sale. 200% (or $110k) seems high, but with so few made the buyer will determine what is right. Anyone else know what these have gone for?

    Who has the best Radar detector??

    You are right on; the sensitivities of several of the radar detectors are very close. Those things have a 12-14 mile range. Speed traps are supposed to be within a quarter of a mile. The arrows and numbers are VERY helpful, much more than I would've predicted. It's amazing in a metropolitan...

    Lack of maturity and a 500HP SRT/10 = dead teen

    That's a good point- The FAA puts the responsibility on the Pilot-In-Command, the PIC. And it's a FAR(Federal Aviation Regulation) that all passengers and the PIC are buckled up. Granted, a Viper isn't an airplane but it sure can take-off and fly like one, at least a short distance. Anyway...

    Keep hitting 2nd while going for 4th!

    It helped me to sit in the car and go through the gears quickly, with the car stationary. When you go horizontally back and forth with the shifter knob (like you were going to be in the 1st-2nd column then to the 3rd-4th column, then all the way over to the 5th-6th column) you can see that the...

    changing the oil Jiffy lube style?

    Awesome idea about removing the passenger front tire-I can't wait to try it. Ramps are a necessity and I concur with the do it yourself method of stacking boards. But go ahead and splurge-use 2 X 12's!

    Saw a Ford GT today!

    I always thought the Ford GT looked good, but when I saw one with LeMans Blue paint and white stripes, it was absolutely killer. Yea, it's worthy to sit next to the snake.....

    Hurst shifter installed (pics)

    Is this a joke-talk about knee high to a grasshopper...? Good looking knob, though. How about some feedback on the Hurst unit? What did you not like about the stock SRT-10 shifter?

    hopefully last of my nitrous questions

    Great info RedEnuf93. Care to elaborate on what size the 200 shot would be? I know you said you made your own, but do you have dimensions or approximate sizes? I let the tuners do mine and I now want to check to see where they have me.

    One week with the Valentine One and....

    I crested a hill (bad situation) on I-30 Eastbound just before getting to I-35 in Fort Worth. I was in the far left lane, alone. My V-1 went off with the Laser alert, an unusual musical alert(not a beep, not a buzz). I was going 60 in a 60-good for me. No previous warning. It was a...
