    looking to buy

    I'm a recent owner of 6 months. A stock Viper will give you close to what you're used to. There's nothing like a Viper (Gen I,II) and every time you drive one it's an event. They handle differently and you have to get aquainted but they're unique. The B/W RT's are very rare and $$$$ but you can...

    When does owning a Viper get old???

    Ditto NEVER. When I picked mine up in San Fran last year, just with the trailer side door open anyone walking by would gawk; "is that a race car?", is that a Viper?, "what is that?", "coool", "always wanted one of those" etc.

    hood latch question

    Noticed in the roller positioning assy on each side of the hood at rear there is a hook and pin arrangement that don't seem to function in any position. They're just there. Seems at some point they'd mate up but never do, at least on my hood. With the hood closed you have to look up under to see...

    Another close call

    Going to dinner with the wife this evening and see a beautiful new Ferrari convert up front. Pull along side and we both nod and smile "nice car". Start a little light game of tag and I see this dark Chevy sedan on my butt, little blue and reds crawling across the dash. Unmarked car. I pull in...

    Hood alignment

    Besides idle hang this problem seems the most common. Mine's the same as 94RT's. Luck of the draw. I don't worry about it too much. Sometime I might get really ambitious and do a facia/headlite job, but I'd rather be driving. As yet nobody has said " I love your car but what's with the big gap...

    Are you guys watching Mythbusters? TURN ON TV!

    His name is still John Holmes and he is MR. DIESEL at Carson Dodge. Helped me a lot getting into my first Viper. His car is fantastic. His wife races it out a Fernley. Before you start snickering, she used to race dragsters too!

    What is the strangest or BEST reaction you've had to driving your viper?

    Re: What is the strangest or BEST reaction you\'ve had to driving your viper Went down to Starbucks for a cup and 2 teeny boppers (cute)say "Love your car, can we have your autograph?" I'm old enough to be their grandfather. Fun stuff. :cool:

    looking for 96 or 97 viper

    If you've got deep pockets see "Taking offers on collectible Vipers" post(pg2). You can go with a '97 blue/white RT10 or a 96 GTS w/38 mi. That low enough mi for you?

    I think this is the ugliest viper yet (PIC)

    Guys, your dogmatic bias is showing (sorry about the big word). Clean up the interior and put the mirrors back where they belong and it ain't too bad.

    Drove Right By a Cop and Valentine One Did Nothing

    Reading the concern of remote mountings, and out of sight installations: others have told me radar is perfectly legal. So what's the deal? They're clueless?

    You could park in the middle of the Amazon rain forest and come back and there'd be some jerk 6" from your door.

    anyone leave their battery tender on when car is covered?

    Re: What\'s the best battery tender? Jeesh, Guys, for $40 a Batt Tender will keep your battery in top charge. It automatically monitors the batt and keeps at optimum charge. If you leave the alarm on it covers that too. My garage is not heated and the outside temp last nite was 10*. I start it...

    anyone leave their battery tender on when car is covered?

    Re: What\'s the best battery tender? Still not mentioned is the fact that "Battery Tender Plus" has a quick-disconnect that attaches to the pos post in engine compartment and neg stud on rocker. Run the end thru the side vent for convenience. If yours doesn't have one a little ingenuity and a...
