    "The Ring" T-Shirt idea...

    Nice shirt! I heard there was 'The Ring' movie. Plot: Hapless Porsche/Vette/Lexus fans watch a videotape bizarre video footage of them setting a track record at Nurburgring. Then 7 days later they get a phone call that Viper has just killed the record. Gen V confirmed to star, and Ralph...

    Paint my top yellow, or leave it black. Opinions wanted.

    Here are some (albeit quickly sketched) mockups of full yellow and yellow/black roofs. All 3 have merits. My only bias is that the glossy black top surface on bright car to me brings to mind the tinted T-tops of late 70s/early 80s era Corvettes. Personally wasn't really a fan of that look...

    Are people "dumping" their Vipers. What will happen to resale

    There is a lot of financial turmoil in the USA, which is where most Vipers are. Families are faced with a choice of foreclosure, health crisis, college tuition (student loan agencies arent lending anymore) and possible job loss. This is a change from the boom years when Vipers were bought in...

    Pic of the Viper Ralph will be driving at Targa Newfoundland!

    I totally endorse this. The Newfoundland Targa is outstanding and a great everyman event. Just need a bit of race-driving cert (I forget, like 2 days), and you can bring your own car (doesn't even need a roll cage), or rent one there. The roads are pretty good now nowadays, since alot of the...

    Soft-top hole-preventer-o-matic?

    That is a fine idea, thank you! I'll see what can be done with these kind of off the shelf sphere rubber parts. For others who may not have a similar soft top on their Gen of Viper, here is a view of the problem. It is not as bad when widely folded, like in the picture, but then it is...

    Soft-top hole-preventer-o-matic?

    Hi guys, It seems that the soft top can get holes punched into it, pretty easy, and a lot of these come from folding the top or having it shift after folding, in such a way that the rear clips punch through the fabric. It would seem logical just to have something soft to put around the clips...

    Bought a GTS. Can any Canadians help me with importing advice.

    Hi, Other people help me with Viper stuff, I can offer some help to you on this one. I imported a Viper myself last fall. (1) Get yourself a customs broker. This is far and away the most important. The $150-$300 is the best money you will spend to get rid of the hassles. Get a customs broker...

    Where on Earth to get a letter confirming 285 production run in 1992?

    Hi Jon, Have never seen a 1992 Canadian Export viper, since as you say only 14 or so. This one I brought over the border myself. Pricewise, I agree there is a good future ahead for these vehicles since they are such a part of nostalgia and fine design. But pricewuse less important for me since...

    What are the 2 switches to the left of the cigarette lighter on Gen I console?

    Hah ! Party like its 1992! I am slowly accumulating a collection of Viper-appropriate cassettes that were released or were on the charts in 1992, to keep in the glovebox. The glovebox is the thing that children will wonder was used for before it was an airbag. So far the cassette...

    What are the 2 switches to the left of the cigarette lighter on Gen I console?

    Ah the days when it was called a cigarette lighter instead of 12V accessory port... Getting familiar with the car functions bit by bit. The interior is pretty blissfully spartan which makes things straightforward, but there is two switches to the left of the cigarette lighter that don't seem...

    Where on Earth to get a letter confirming 285 production run in 1992?

    Hi Viper People! Greetings from British Columbia, Canada! A 1992 Viper has finally come true (waited 19 very patient years for that to finally happen). The local car licensing authority (equivalent to the DMV in the US) gives a special 'Collector License Plate' for cars that are over 15...
