    Viper production continues...2015 model?

    With Viper production up and running again, I wonder if the snakes that are currently assembled are in fact 2015 models? By the time they get delivered, it will be late in the year, so it would make sense to make a few changes and sell them as 2015s. Then SRT (or Dodge) can shift their focus to...

    Viper, Grand Theft Auto style :)

    For those familiar with GTA, Rockstar Games (with West Coast Customs) created one of the in-game sports cars, the Banshee, as a real car. This was last year, as a promo for GTA V. It's based on a 2006 Viper. Well, it's now for sale on ebay for $170k. If you have the cash, you can experience what...

    S2000 push button start

    We had a long weekend up here in the North, so I finally got around to installing my S2000 start button ;) I followed the instructions posted here in the past, with a few minor changes. I do have the updated interior with the mirror toggle switch. Since I put the start button in that location, I...

    Led tail light bulbs...

    Anybody try these star-shaped tail light bulbs? Three bulbs per tail light. You insert them, and then they fold apart. I have this image of modern exotics in mind, like the Aventador. I know it wont look like that, but I wonder if it's still going to give the lights a more modern look...

    30 sec DIY

    I love quick DIYs, and this one literally takes as long as an Arnold one-liner. Fill the sneaky pete logo with paint and wipe the excess off with a flat surface that wont get into the etching (I used a paper towel soaked with a bit of paint thinner over a square piece of plastic). Just makes the...

    MotorTrend 2000 rt10 dyno

    I was just reading this old MotorTrend article (Detroit Muscle), and they did dyno runs with a RT10, Cobra R and Z06 (all 2000 model years). Z06 managed 344 rwhp, so that's pretty close to the stock 385hp at the crank. Cobra R did 376 rwhp! (it has the same hp rating as the Z06). And the...

    Want to buy the Viper DEFENDER?

    Remember the TV show Viper? :rolleyes: The car is for sale for anyone interested. Doesn't have a V10, but a V8. Top bid was $174k, reserve not met. Why would anybody bid that much? Must be a HUGE fan of the show :rolaugh...

    Differential oil: Amsoil or Royal Purple?

    1999 Viper RT10 Diff Oil 75w140: For those running a diff oil other than mopar, which one of these two is better: Amsoil or Royal Purple? Those running Amsoil, did you ad a friction modifier to the oil? It doesn't say on the bottle that is has it included. The Royal Purple does state that it is...

    1993 Viper GTS????

    Found this brochure...not sure if it's real or fake. Shows a GTS brochure for 1993 (brochure printer 12/92 on last photo). It says the vehicle described is an experimental concept car. Anyone seen this before?

    Viper Height...low like a snake :)

    I was surfing the web looking at the dimensions of other sports cars, just because there were recent posts here on lowering the suspension and found the following collection of cars. I am always a bit careful when passing other suvs or trucks on the street, just because the Viper is so low it is...

    Two DIY freebies :)

    Had a bit of time to tackle two little projects. And best of all, they're free :nana: Both have been done before, so I'm not posting anything new, but just wanted to share how they turned out. First was painting the hood liner. Soaks up the paint like a sponge, so it took quite a few coats...

    RT10 Windshield Frame Pin hole covers

    This has probably been done before, but for those who don't like the open pin holes used for the hard/soft top, I used some plastic retainers (a bit modified to make them fit snuggly) to cover them up. They just pop in and make it look much neater. Just in time for the nice spring...

    Removing rear bumper Dodge emblem...

    I am toying with the idea of removing the rear bumper Dodge emblem. Not that I mind the Viper being a Dodge, but since the new ones are SRT now, maybe the Dodge lettering is getting a little old :rolleyes: Question is, if I remove the letters, is the bumper painted beneath or was the bumper...

    Stock resonators...what do they look like on the inside?

    I'm going to get some high flow cats, and was wondering if I should bother replacing the resonators as well. Are they just a straight through design? If yes, they're probably pretty free flowing. Otherwise I could weld in some smaller bullet mufflers. Resonator inlet/outlet seems to be offset...

    size of stock catalytic converters?

    Hey guys. Anyone have the measurements for the stock cats on a gen2 (99). I want to cut the stock ones out and weld in some high flow converters. Are the diameters on both sides 2.5"? What is the length of the cats? If someone has the stock cats laying around, could you take the measurements? I...

    How accurate is your fuel gauge?

    Hey guys. Maybe this is just subjective, but I find that my fuel gauge goes down faster for the top half, and slower for the second. Maybe I'm just imagining things :rolleyes: And it does vary a bit depending on operating temp. Also, even when the needle reads zero, there are still about 7...
