    Thanks again Jon B and Parts Rack

    I wanted to write about my latest interaction with Jon B at Parts Rack which was great. While returning from Mojave, California my 1999 RT-10 the electric fan motor started to make nasty sounds. By the time I got back to Washington it was barely working. Amazing how with a mere 100,000 miles on...

    Moderators - What is your problem

    I have made as lot of posts recently in which I am civil and want to comment on events. You recently allowed a post from several days ago to be actually posted on the forum. My controversial comment was about an Ilmor marine V-10 engine. I said "625 HP". I just can't understand why all my other...

    Lighter Socket mount for GPS

    I have a TOM TOM XXL GPS and I have been trying to find a decent spot to attach it which wouldn't be in the way or block the view out of the windshield. I found a Lighter Socket Mount from a company called GPSLot in Arcadia California. It plugs in to the cigar lighter outlet and powers the GPS...

    1999 RT-10 Winter Refurbishment and upgrade

    5 years ago I finally got the car I had lusted for since 1989. I bought a black 1999 RT-10 from Ray Agen in Anchorage. I anxiously awaited its arrival and as soon as I got it I started to think about things to change. I use the car as a dry day daily driver here so I tend to put miles on it...

    Get Together after Dyno Day

    I was pleased to hear that Dyno Days will be taking place in Bremerton, almost in my backyard. Max RPM is a nice place and it should be a great chance to check out our cars again, especially if you have made any modifications over the winter. I am also curious to see a certain Dodge SRT-10...

Their ad today introduces a new 1 inch buffer for small areas, polishing eyeglasses and coins. It is priced at $41.11...

    Smooth tubes for a Gen I

    We have a new (1994) Viper in town and we are wondering about using smooth tubes on it along with the K & N filters. I have looked at past posts and searched, but I didn't find anything about whether you can eliminate the whiz-bank plenum (?) thing hanging off the bottom of the intake tubes. I...

    New mods to my car

    I decided to do some upgrades to my RT-10 after Salt Lake and I was able to get some new go-fast goodies for my Viper. I needed a new radiator, so I got an aluminum triple pass radiator from Roe. I also replaced my worn out OEM cats with a set of High Flow cats. I also got an SCT custom engine...

    NIce drive and some snapshots

    It was a decent day here in Washington State so I decided to take the Viper out for a little drive and take some snapshots of my 1999 RT-10. I took most of them in Port Gamble, an old lumber town near here on Hood Canal. I had just finished polishing the wheels and waxing the car. I thought I...

    Autoweek guess about the new Gen V Viper

    I just got my AutoWeek magazine today and they had an article saying that the Viper will continue. They quoted some people who had a quick preview in Orlando at a dealers convention. They have 2 photos of what they think the car will look like, but having seen the real thing they seem to have...

    1:18 Scale Viper Models at Costco

    I was at Costco today and I was checking out the early Christmas displays and they had a big bunch of Maisto 1:18 models. I dug through the bunch and found a red Gen III roadster which I already had and a yellow with black stripes Special Edition GTSR. I don't belive they ever produced an actual...

    Red Gen1 RT-10 on I-5 North on Wednesday

    I was driving north on I-5 yesterday morning and saw a very nice red Gen-1 RT-10 with Oregon plates. He was near the Tacoma Dome near exit 133 and I was able to catch up with him in my car. I gave him a nice thumbs-up and waved. Unfoprtunately I was in my 1964 Ford Galaxie convertible, so he...

    New Viper in the area

    I was returning home from a doctor appointment about 10 this morning in my black 99 RT-10 and I met a SRT-10 coupe, black with graphite stripes, coming off the Warren Avenue bridge here in East Bremerton. I was a bit surprised to see another Viper here in the sticks and didn't get a chance to...

    I just finished watching the US challenger BMW Oracle win the America's Cup 2 races to 0 over the Swiss multihull Alinghi. The boats, especially the US one, were very Viper like in the speeds they hit. Today Oracle hit 33 knots in only 9 knots of windspeed. The boat is 100 feet long 90 feet...

    I found an article showing what appears to be a red Gen III Viper roadster which collided headon with a schoolbus in Snohomish county, north of Seattle. The airbags deployed and the occupant was taken to a local hospital. The car looks to be in bad shape. I hope the driver is OK. Does anyone...
