    Coming out of long term storage...

    So is the flashing thing a common problem? I'm seeking reassurance I didn't fry anything, though I'm not sure how it would be possible to do so doing what I did.

    Coming out of long term storage...

    I'll bump an old thread... My gen-1 has been sitting for about a year in the same state as Jim's. I hooked up a charger to the battery posts under the hood, and when I turned it on, the flashers, radio, and dash lights would flash and current out of the charger would go on/off at about 1-2 Hz...

    U-Haul and Viper

    I've done this with a gen-1. It's not that big a deal if you do it right. A couple pics and related comments... First, get the correct trailer. You need one of the late-model trailers. The old ones are way too narrow for comfort. There was no way I was going to tow it with this little...

    Question for 1st gen owners please

    The gaskets on my 94 are fine so far, but it only has 5k on the clock. I have a new set for when that day comes though. It seems that most have let go somewhere around 15k recently.

    HEAD GASKET UPDATE, Gen-1 Guys Look Here!

    I'm considering doing this as I'm still running original gaskets. How much will I change compression if I go down in thickness? Anything else I should be concerned with?

    Ferrari of Washington Exotic Meet 10/18

    Sounds good to me. I'm out of town this weekend (during the Fall Cruise), but I'm always looking for an excuse to drive my car.

    Behold the New Electric "Viper"

    When you consider the whole cycle with one of these things (power plant, tx lines, house, charger, batteries, motor), you're talking about 30% of the efficiency of a gasoline-powered vehicle. Unless the grid is mostly nuclear, you're polluting more by driving your electric car. Gasoline is a...

    VCA Porn!

    Meh, buy a couple hundred shares of your favorite price-gouging oil company and become an owner of this fantastic profit-making machine. It'll even out. I bought premium at $3.84 in VA yesterday.

    Viper Wreck in NJ

    First off, RIP to the passenger who lost his life. I can't help but draw a parallel to the Nick Hogan wreck. While one driver was a young celebrity and the other a veteran cop, the situation (driving skill < adequate for pushing big-hp car) seems exactly the same down to the injuries...

    MOPAR Meet, Lunch, and Cruise

    A Saturday morning expedition sounds great to me. I've been a little out of the loop with work and other stuff recently.

    How does torque make you faster?

    Horsepower = torque*rpm/5252. When torque is in ft-lbs, 5252 is a number that makes the units make sense. Torque is simply force times distance, and determines maximum instantaneous acceleration (multiply flywheel torque by total gearing ratio, divide by tire radius, divide by vehicle mass...

    Viper stalling

    If you haven't resynched the TBs yet (I may be blind, but I haven't seen that you've done this), I'd try that before spending any more money. Just push the grey buttons, pull the cable back, then get in the car and push the pedal to the floor.

    Northern VA Cow Country Cruise

    Great time! Rain sucks, but cars dry. I really enjoyed meeting everyone.

    What age is the Viper Owner ?

    I figure that as long as I'm maxing out a 401k and a Roth each year, I shouldn't feel too bad about spending money on my vehicle habit. I didn't pay cash for my car, but it's very conservatively financed. The money I've tossed in those retirement accounts this year would more than cover the...
