    Transmission Thermal/Sound Insulation

    Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like my bud is gonna try ordering the Koolmat as he was worried more about heat than noise. Seems his tranny tunnel was burning his leg, haha.

    Personalized liscense plates

    Me too, especially after laughing at the C5 Vette I saw on the way home from work that said "U LOSE".

    Transmission Thermal/Sound Insulation

    Buddy of mine with a C6Z06 wants to see if he can get his hands on some sort of thin thermal insulation that he was pretty sure the newer vipers had (not sure if my 99 has it). He seemed to recall something along the lines of balsa wood, foil, and some sort of composite material. I was hoping...

    Viper video - oops

    not quite... A hoon can be two things: Old English - A pimp (or a man of similar profession) New usage - an OZ word that's short for Hooligan and implies a person who drives a car in a reckless manner. There have been a number of anti-hoon laws put into place in Australia to deter dangerous...

    Advantage: Viper vs Motorcycle

    Pretty sure crotch rockets will eat any stock Viper alive in a drag. Around a racetrack it would be a different story. Performance motorcycles get 0-60 times of around 2.5-3.5 seconds.

    Forward opening hoods

    No joke, any little fender bender that touches the hood almost makes the car an instant total loss :omg:

    Forward opening hoods

    Replacement value of the old hoods I believe is around $18000!!

    What age is the Viper Owner ?

    Meh...figured out that buying my Viper at age 24 cost me something like $400k at age 54. I will definitely have $400k of fun out of it for the next 30 years, I felt it was worth the cost. Having what I felt was a near death experience also put me over the edge and made me bite the bullet and buy...

    Opinions on the following 2 GTS's?

    I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want the ACR...but maybe I'm biased...I should have bought that one and slapped some silver vinyl stripes on it and called it a day. Would have saved me a bunch of money...

    What age is the Viper Owner ?

    Ditto. Which is why I waited to buy exactly the model, color combo, etc. that I wanted as I was essentially buying my dream car. I just consider myself lucky that my dream car wasn't an Enzo, or worse, Veyron.

    Squeaky brakes and high idle when hot, need advice...

    Hmm, less dust, interesting....might save me from having to wash the BBS rims so often (they look nice, but require some work). Will buy a factory service manual and try the PCM reset. Seems like something that is easily done. Hope that solves the problem.

    Squeaky brakes and high idle when hot, need advice...

    Corsa exhaust, no other mods that I know of. What of these steps can I do at home? I'll do a search when I have some time. I assume TB is throttle body and IAC is idle air control... Thanks :).

    Squeaky brakes and high idle when hot, need advice...

    Hi, So I've had my 99 B/S ACR Viper since April and wanted to answer some questions that have either bugged me (squeaky brakes) or that have recently popped up (high idle). Descriptions are as follows: Squeaky brakes: pretty self explanatory. Doesn't seem to hinder performance of the...

    New viper

    Thought the lock was for a temporary alarm bypass so that you can start the car without the dongle.

    96 GTS with only 10 miles and '92 with only 40 miles

    The mileage on those cars is awesome yet sad at the same time. Wish him luck with the sale.

    Cupholders For The Viper? What's Next?

    Haha, that's for sure...sold my old iPhone the day before the new one was announced for $405 after owning it for 7 months. I bought it for $400 plus tax... Now I've got extra money for the iPhone 3G when it comes out... eBay fees suck though :mad:

    Market Check ACR

    Agreed with the mid-50s. I paid mid-40s for my 99 black silver with 24k miles (in April). Haha, or maybe I'm just hoping I didn't pay too much, either way I don't see many of them for sale.

    Viper Tech in Houston

    I've been to Northwest Dodge with mine, Hector seemed nice, but all I had him do was give the viper an inspection. He was working on a B/W '06 when I got there. Oh yeah, they even let me drive it into and out of the garage, while waiting around watching Hector. After my inspection experience...

    1999 ACR pros and cons?

    Not that I've had any other vipers to compare it to, but I absolutely love my black/silver 99 acr. Hard shocks and all... (sorry, no useful information)
