    1996 White Stripe End Point

    Here is a response I got from JonB, the owner of Partsrack. He got the first customer 96 GTS and still has it with no paint work ever done. He had to go look, but says the white stripe does not continue down the vertical edge of the facia. Apparently, the pictures I posted were pre-production...

    1996 White Stripe End Point

    Hold on! I researched this when I had mine repainted and all the 1996 Indy pics (where the car was first shown) and original ad pictures showed the stripes going down the bottom lip. I used to have an original sales brochure that showed this also, but let it go when I sold the car. I have to...

    GEN V Purchase info?

    Were the dealers allowed to charge whatever the market would bear to VCA members holding purchase certificates or were these cars sold to VCA members at MSRP?

    Yay or nay: run Pilot SS on the front and PS2's tires on the rear?

    Don't have a lot of choice with drag radials as I have never seen a car with matched drag radials front and rear. LOL Actually, my GTS drives pretty decently with MT ET Street II's on the rear and Michelin Pilot Sports on the front, but I don't push in in the curves in that configuration...

    I have to stay off eBay....

    The shipping "varies" should have been a clue. I ordered one for my 96 GTS and it was only under $150 shipped to the dealer. The box is big enough that they have to be shipped freight and they are very fragile as boxed. I had to unbox mine at the dealer also and it would barely fit in the...

    So how do you do it, let one go?

    I sold my 94 RT/10 last week after owning it 11 years. Was not a big deal as going to a great guy who will treat it right and decided to sell, did not need to sell. Car really deserved to be driven more. Plus I still have my 96 GTS.

    Gen I Dash Vendor?

    If you can find a new leftover, and you probably won't, you will not like the price. Remove and refinish is the way to go. Most go to flat black which make the interior look much better, but you can go back to grey paint if you want. Why anyone would want another fuzzy grey is beyond me, I went...

    Need more info on part #

    Call Chuck Tator. I believe you are talking about the stancheons that run something like $470 a side. Rubber not available separately. Ain't Viper ownership grand?

    Ridelow RT/10

    I noticed the handicapped mirror tag on the dash. I wonder if it is mental? I have no idea why the inner wraps under the hood over the front wheels? Additional wheel clearance? Lots of work for the end result. Obviously a "I don't care if anyone else likes it" kind of thing.

    A/C Removal and weight savings?

    Any significant increase in the ability of the radiator to cool without the condensor on a dedicated track car? 25 pounds would not be enough to convince me to give up the A/C on anyhing but a dedicated track car, and if there is better cooling that would be an added bonus.

    Viper Stripes

    I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your memory no longer serves. LOL First factory stripes were 96. They were painted. No stripes at all prior to 96. To clearcoat tape would make no sense at all.

    2009 ACR with only 290 miles and 1 Owner for $4,500 No Kidding

    If it has a clear title with a VIN number, someone will buy it, and someone elses 2009 ACR will soon turn up missing. It isn't rocket science to put that scenario together.

    Anyone painted their gray interior "fuzzy" dash on a gen 1 flat black?

    The fuzzy grey dash is a PITA and does not match any of the other grey in the interior. The flat black dash creates a flow from the top of the doors cleanly across the dash. The flat black not only is easier to maintain, but also makes the interior look much better overall. That is the way the...

    V-10 in Challenger?

    You mean sort of like this? With a new 6.4-liter V8 due out for the 2011 Dodge Challenger, you'd expect the 2011 model year version of the special edition Mopar Drag Pak model to also get the more powerful engine… but you'd be wrong. In it's place is something even better: the Viper's...

    Roe Racing Has A New Dyno

    Hey Josh (Slowchevy). Sean isn't outsourcing his ad writing to Adam by any chance is he? LOL For those who don't know Adam, his Viper tag is H3YHOR.

    Clear vinyl guard for bottom lip of front fascia, anyone seen one?

    I used some clear door edge guard to try this, but it was a miserable fail. I was looking for something flexible enough to go to the outside edge of the fascia where I really seem to get the most scrapes, but it would not make the curves.

    Supercharger kit for gen1???

    I don't think Roe has made them for Gen 1 or 2 for quite some time. If you find a used Roe, I tink it can still be sent to him for refurbishing.

    Still a newbie....with a question about removing a dashboard door..?

    I just had the dash on my 94 out from a repaint. There are two plastic plugs at the bottom of the glovebox door that hold it in. They go through holes in the glovebox door and the dash and pop into another plastic piece. I am not sure if you can get you hands on them under the dash to push...

    How do you say "No" Politely

    I completely forgot the buddy I let drive it who has a 900 HP Supra and is a performance driving instructor. His comments were "is that all the power it's got?" and "is that all the better it handles?" I would not ask to drive his car. I know I would mess up.

    How do you say "No" Politely

    Mine have been driven by my wife, my daughter, my step grandson, my son-in-law and a couple of co-workers (a man and a woman). Less worry letting them drive with me along than when I leave it with a Viper Tech. It's a car, it's insured, it is not even the most expensive car I own. Everyone I...

    Proper burping technique?

    I have generally burped mine by squeezing the radiator hose from the driver side. You can see the bubbles come out from the open cap and the level drop as the air comes out. If you do this and the fluid is all the way up to the cap, it will cause it to overflow.

    Viper as a gift for the wife.

    I knew a guy who got his wife an 04 as a daily driver. She liked it at first, but he soon had to buy her something else as she got tired of driving a manual in daily traffic. She ended up in a BMW convertible within about two months. I would never buy my wife a car as a surprise unless she...

    Barrett Jackson Insurance Collector Car

    It has always seemed odd that insurance companies charge liability on each car when you can only drive one car at a time if there is only one driver. Parked cars can still incur collision or comprehensive claims while not much of a liability issue. If you have three cars and three drivers on...
