    GTS Style Flip Gas Cap On RT10, Can It Be Done?

    It HAS been done, and you might find it if you search "Viper Wart" I do remem a pic in Viper Quarterly where it could be seen.... a guy here in OR did it to his black RT. The RALLYE style caps look flush, nice, but the WART looked hideous to most of us, and we teased the guy about it a lot.

    Flower Mound teen dies after flipping Dodge Viper this weekend

    Fellow Owners............ -The STATE gives the driver the right to drive. --At 18 he can go to war and drive a tank. But NOT drink in most States, so I hope alcohol was not a factor. ---There are a LOT of 18-year-olds racing that can drive rings around most of us. Drivers Ed Matters. ----My...

    '95 Viper Lurching / Cutting Out Again

    Synching the throttle cables (Left LEADS the right) stops "parking lot speeds bucking" and would not normally be a factor at street speeds, unless realy a driver coating at idle. 15K miles should not need a TB. Have you done plugs/wires? battery? (really!)

    When am I not a new owner?

    Once you have ridden in a Viper Pace Car you are a made-man. [And all that other track stuff you did, qualifies too!] PS you supported our local Kids Hospital event, and you went to at least TWO Club meetings in 2011..............you are No Longer a Newbee!

    GEN V Purchase info?

    sdaddy / snakebitdave I think it would not be legal for the Manufacturer to dictate the selling price to the dealers . The 2 "voucher / certificate programs" for ALL NEW CAR MSO Owners involved the 96 GTS. Club members got an early heads up by mail. Email was NOT as widespread in 95. And if...

    PartsRack, as usual, goes above and beyond.

    Glad to help Father / Son owners....... PS....Not many "2-generation" Viper ownerships out there......but now the car is 20, we'll see more. TRIVIA: The FIRST was Norm Frey and Michelle Frey, father-daughter back in 1994...........

    High flow cats on stock car?

    There are TWO substrate options, and 2 bore-options for cats. Cats dont create drone.....the V10 engine does. More FLOW increases the decibels...of the good and the bad sounds. Only CORSA is design-engineered to cancel out the drone coming from the V10. Those who prefer a deeper note, and...

    GEN V Purchase info?

    Thanks Steve! When the allocation was conceived, I do remember that "Top 50" dealers was mentioned.... My memory cells ASSumed that same list as I have netted 50 dealers. I never counted them! Top 63 it is. I do remember Dodge had some demarcation line [of 25+ Vipers sold or some such #]...

    GEN V Purchase info?

    EARLY Vehicle Order Numbers [VONs] by fans of the car, who knew enough to ask (thru their dealers) for early cars DID get some personal attention. The same with Gen 4 ACRs. [I had to changed my VON COLOR to get a very early ACR!] In my case: I had won a Dodge Marketing contest in 1995 that...

    GEN V Purchase info?

    THOUSANDS of owners took advantage in MY 1996 and 2003. I did both times. The promotion was NOT without some controversy. To be eligible you had to be a new-owner-on-MSO. ie NO used cars, No brokered, flipped cars. You hadda be the 1st owner of a LICENSED Viper from a Dealer who...

    GEN V Purchase info?

    The GT-2 "Preferential" ordering was NOT to members or owners, but to TOP 50 VIPER DEALERS. Only 50 of the 2000+ dealers were allowed to order a GT-2, one at a time, in rotation, til the 100 were sold. Since this was the highest USA MSRP in history at that time, those dealers contact THEIR best...

    GEN V Purchase info?

    Hisssstorian Note: As stated, there have been TWO opportunities when Club Members received a preferential ordering window. One of those gave a 1-week additional headstart to VOI attendees ! And one time, Chrysler Financial gave us a (significant) discounted interest rate. JonB ~~~:<~

    Need some emergency emergency brake help

    But are you THICKer on the inside ?!?!? You just need to visualize the E-caliper from the inside of the rotor...not mandatory to have a lift, but a Jack / Wheel-off helps a lot!

    Need some emergency emergency brake help

    Thanks GB.........when you look at brake pads as often as you and I do, we can ASSume everyone sees the same. Please understand that I do not want to shouting "fire" when there is only a hint of smoke. But to ignore this "out of view" ideosyncracy on SRT10-Only can have costly results. If...

    Nice quote from Ralph

    Matt: Dodge built more than 4000 cars/year at CAAP when the Viper AND the Prowler were built there...for several years. And I think 2003 SRT was 3000+ units ....no time to look it up this moment.... 4000 WAS doable.... And I missed any comment by Ralph limiting the G-5 numbers...........? you...

    Any VCA members near St. Louis or west of Charlotte who can inspect a car? WTB Gen 3.

    Re: Any VCA members near St. Louis or west of Charlotte who can inspect a car? WTB Ge I have used Reliable Carriers a total of 6 times. In 3 cases, I asked for their "Standby" or "Convenience" rate, and that saved me several hundred dollars. I agreed to wait 2-3 weeks, but in all 3 cases they...

    Nice quote from Ralph

    Those of us on this forum, and in the club, need the LEAST amount of sales-pitches and refinements to convince us to buy a Viper. We Are The Choir......no need to convert us...... I am happy to see that Dodge/SRT Marketing recognizes the need and is targeting incremental increases in Viper...

    Need some emergency emergency brake help

    See how that inner pad is about half as thick as the outer? This is exactly what we need to be aware of. That inner is on the way to being used up. When the miles on the car doubles, it will be shot. And that is an ACR Rotor, so it could get expensive if it scores the rotor. One of the easy...

    GTS record at the ring?

    The GTS-R ran the FULL N'Ring for times, not just the NordSchleife (north circuit?) and may have held a full-course record. Might still have it! But the 1996 GTS run was a press-tour. I am unaware of any official, and certainly no "record" for any GTS...
