    Where the rubber meets the road

    Replacing the tires will help alot. Tire tech has gone a long way in the last decade. Older tires won't hook or perform like they were new or as well as the new tires, but they are still usable. Not to the limits of using them at the Track or taking high speed corners, but drivable. Also...

    Re: Failed State Inspection ... rear and front tie rods/ rack and pinion; cheapest pa I remember communist MO... I failed an inspection due to water vapor dripping on my headers and making a little steam they said was smoke. Funny how the workers there have little vehicle knowledge, but...

    GEN 1 Tuning Options

    I've heard the VEC mentioned, but I don't see any vendors selling it. Roe Racing sells the cards for it, but I don't see the the VEC itself for sale.

    GEN 1 Tuning Options

    I did a forum search and have been looking for the answer to this with no luck for a while. I don't see anything regarding tuning options for the 1993-1995 Vipers, nor do I see any sites offering tuning for these years. Is there a particular reason they can't be tuned? What do owners do...

    Viper owners, what car inspection rules are required in your state?

    Us Rednecks in Southern IL near Macoupin County, IL. If you can drive the car to the DMV... YOU PASS!!! Wait... that don't matter either. If you can pay the registration... YOU PASS!! I used to do MO St. Louis County's Inspections... total BS. I failed once because it was raining and...

    Is this someones red viper from Illinois?

    No real Viper owner would intentionally park next to TWO minivans and a truck. That Viper was stolen or as stated above was drunk out of his mind. My greatest fear driving a Viper is a Minivan or SUV with a distracted driver behind the wheel with 4 screaming kids in the back. Brings back...

    Saw a viper today :) Gen3 or Gen4...

    Option 1: GEN III: The #1 choice if you Plan to MOD your Viper or short on $$. GEN IV Vipers do not have the option of forced induction without serious CPU modding. Option 2: GEN IV: The #1 choice if you plan to stay near stock. In that case get the newest Viper you can afford. If...

    Wiper Blade Viper Tax

    Is there any other options for replacement wiper blades out there? I did an internet search and I kept coming up with Bosch offering a wiper blade that fits according several websites, but at $16.00 each its a bit hard to believe. Anyone tried these? Surprised a vendor hasn't just modded a...

    How to get a test drive?

    +1 Exactly. LS7 owners are still in denial about engine reliability. Exhaust valve failure due to the valve guides failing is an under the table issue of drama among the LS7 crowd.

    How to get a test drive?

    I was in the SAME exact position as you a year ago... I couldn't decide between a Z06 and a Viper. I ended up buying a C6 Z06 with 5k miles. I then modded it to 800 HP, but I still couldn't keep my eye off the SRT10 Vipers. A few months later I sold my Z06 and bought a SRT10 Viper. I love...

    High expectations on Ebay on Viper Value

    I was looking on Ebay today and found a 2005 Viper Vert going for $126,000 with 43k miles. Only mods are Supercharger and few cosmetic minor mods.:omg: Didn't link it due to forum rules, but its not too hard to find since its the highest price Viper on there. Am I missing something here...

    Ever notice that Viper owners also own a Vette as well..

    Had a few Z06's... don't think I could ever go back to a Vette again.

    Survey - TVS blower for SRT-10 Vipers

    Reason is the 08+ Vipers can't be tuned due to the locked programming or something along those lines. Due to a Supercharger or Turbo installation requiring a tune. it makes the 08+ Viper unable to have S/C or Turbo installed, but there is a way around this by using a 03-06 Viper Computer...

    SCT PROGRAMMER.....

    Going cheap on a TUNE is the WORST thing you can do for your car. #1 cause of engine failures. Always always get a dyno tune. Not all cars are the same. NONE. I usually use SCT tuners and have the custom tune that came with the tuner uploaded, but I then have the program looked at on...

    Viper, one of the most dangerous cars to drive?

    Top Gears test of the 2003 Viper SRT10 sums it up nicely. Its has INSANE GRIP, but once you lose traction it KILLS YOU since you are going soooo fast when you lose it. In Summary: If you are going FAST enough to lose grip in a VIPER on the street.... then your driving STUPID and yes.. you...

    Viper, one of the most dangerous cars to drive?

    +1 The Viper isn't dangerous... its the RETARD behind the wheel. The Viper doesn't come with "NANNY TECH" to save the driver of a Viper when they do stupid things behind the wheel. The Viper is pretty much a RACE CAR for the street. If you drive it like a RACE CAR on the street.... BAD...

    White Mamba or 2006 White VOI Coupe wanted

    Doesn't really apply to a car which there are not many made. I'm still waiting for the GT40 to depreciate to since the Ford GT came out... but thats not gonna happen. Look at the 1995 Vipers.. they still get 35k+. Viper prices will stay about the same after their initial depreciation from...

    Buying a GEN 3 Need some answers:

    I daily drive my Gen 3 Vert. Heat isn't bad at all with the top up. Your AC should freeze you out with no problem if its working right. RULE #1: If its over 90 Degrees out.... TOP stays up.. or you will cook. As stated before: Removing the crossover pipe and switching to a Gen IV hood...

    Viper caused a wreck for the third time today!

    Yeah... Vipers also get the attention of Police officers who forget what they were doing and just follow you waiting for you to make a mistake so they can pull you over. I got followed last night for 10 miles from my work all the way to my subdivision.

    0-60 and 1/4 mile times?

    Lol. Yeah that was your stock clutch being toasted, but better than something else being toasted. Dropping in 2nd gear or even 3rd gear with the RPMS high would produce a TON of stress on the drivetrain. If the clutch was a racing clutch and it actually grabbed... something else would of...

    Very Viper Orange (VVO) paint surcharge

    Certain odd ball colors cost more to paint. Multiple layers of paint are required for certain odd ball colors such as oranges and bright yellows which require a specific sequence of colors to be laid down. Need to keep this in mind if you ever need body work done. If a paint shop just puts...
