    How to reinstall the front fascia

    Really? If its that serious then surely you would be able to find several pics on the internet to add to this thread to help others understand the situation you are talking about. Give it a shot. I photograph most local Viper events. See a lot of Gen2's (in person) and they all look...

    How to reinstall the front fascia

    I took my fascia off once and man was it a PITA to get back on. Hooked it on the one side/corner then took two of us to stretch pull it to slip around the other side. Reminded me of putting bed sheets on a mattress that got shrunk in the dryer.:) On my GTS besides the numerous bolts fastening...

    Tire Pressure & Handling

    Peer, take your "theory's" to an NARRA ViperDays trackday and see what the guys who set up the comp coupes & ACR-X's think of them... I personally think you are uninformed about tire pressures & weight distribution from your above comments.

    Here a Porsche, there a Porsche

    Dissagree, & think that atleast 75% of Viper owners would keep their snake over a 911 of comparable year and/or price. I own Viper because I love Viper. If I loved porsche then I would buy one. I do think they are a fabulous car and like how active the PCA is with trackdays. but when I show...

    Alignment spec needed

    I disagree with that weak alignment suggestion.;) Stock spec calls for 0.20-0.65 rear... For his app I would go no lower than 1.5 F / 0.8 R, but think 1.5-1.7/1.0 would be better. Especially considering that he drives less than 1000miles per year and the tires will last more than a few years...

    Alignment spec needed

    Great. Well not really...LOL Drive more!!! but with low miles and twisty roads you can run a pretty aggressive alignment without worrying about tirewear. Great. Fresh rubber paired with a good alignment is Key to pulling G's in the corners. Yes, anytime someone talks about camber they...

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    The same could be said for nearly any purchase whether it be cloths, a bicycle, toys for your kids, a TV, ect... If you have the disposable money and want to buy something new then I don't see a problem with that. If you go broke buying something new that you can barely afford then I don't...

    Best Engine Oil for the GTS

    +1, I've been enjoying 7K intervals with my daily drivers. Typically do 3-5.5K on the Viper depending on amount of track days and availability of friends lifts. You don't want to know... http://jalopnik.com/man-who-has-had-sex-with-999-cars-will-marry-vw-beetle-1445719610

    Best Engine Oil for the GTS

    +1 I use either Shell Rotella T6 5w40 or Motul 8100 5w40 for street & track cause they both have elevated anti-wear additives that are beneficial to my aggressive driving style. Advance Auto carries the Shell...

    for example: http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/598159-GENI-upper-engine-gaskets-up-in-price-again! gb66gth , check the price on sills at your local dealer and i'll bet the price increased by the same amount. And like I said, if you have a concern that VPA doesn't have the best price...

    Noticed VPA prices have gone up?

    NEWSFLASH: The majority of limited Viper parts that are no longer in production will continue to go up in price until the end of time. WHO remembers when the Wizard used to post on here and would give us a heads up of significant/ridiculous price increases on specific items? He had a month...

    Noticed VPA prices have gone up?

    - VPA doesn't control the prices of Mopar parts stocked in Mopar warehouses. They are just a middle man like any other authorized mopar dealer(like your local dealership). - VPA will typically have better prices than anyone else do to running a lower profit margin since the overall goal is to...

    Oil Pan Gasket Change

    Nice. If I was in town I would have stopped by. Roads still a bit crappy up in PA? Upgraded my oilpan & gasket a couple years ago with higher capacity with trap-door baffles. She's still sealed up nice.
