    value of service manuals

    Take into consideration what the going rate is for labor on a Viper and you will soon realize that for less than the cost of an oil change you can get the manuals and do it yourself. My cousin is a Dodge dealer in Oklahoma and sent me a manual for my Viper. That thing is worth it's weight in...

    Looking for #33 AutoArt Viper

    I've been watching eBay on a weekly basis for about 6 months now with no luck on finding the yellow 1:18 AutoArt Viper. Does anyone have an extra they would be willing to part with?

    Door Panel Issue 96GTS

    It sounds like you have issues with alignment/hinges. Fix the problem before you worry about cosmetic issues or you'll have the same problem a few months from now.

    Buyer Beware R&J Distributing

    Ron, Since you finally decided to answer, why was I charged over $100.00 for a "restocking fee" for 2 door panels? I paid the shipping both ways, so I'm real curious to know why it cost that much for you to open a box and take out that trash you tried to pawn off on me as being in "Excellent"...

    Let me see if I have any you need. I know I have one or two doubles, but I'm not sure which ones.

    Buyer Beware R&J Distributing

    I ordered a pair of door panels, that according to Ron, were off a 3,400 mile car, and in excellent condition.What he sent was crap! All the screws were rusted, there were wear marks from sagging hinges and the were scratches as well. After calling him a few times a week I FINALLY got him to...

    Looking to buy 1/12 scale Anson / JRL Vipers

    I lucked into getting a pace car from a seller that had the high bidder not pay. I won the auction for one of the others, and he offered it to me when he was sure the other bidder was going to back out. I have all 6 1:12 RT/10s and all but one of the AutoArt cars. I promised my wife the...

    Looking for certain back issues of Viper Quarterly/Magazine

    I was fortunate that I started my collection 5 or 6 years ago while there were a lot still available from Viper Quarterly. Now I only need 2 more magazines for a complete set, but people are holding on to them like Elvis on a jelly donut. There was/is a lot on eBay from the early years under...

    1:10th 2008 Dodge Viper SRT coupe! RC

    I keep getting a message stating that my pictures are too big to post (too many pixels perhaps). I'd love to post some pics, but I haven't had a chance to figure out how to lower the resolution.

    1:10th 2008 Dodge Viper SRT coupe! RC

    The one I got said: To celebrate the first ever production based overall win at the Rolex 24 hours at Daytona, Dodge has commissioned through Auto Art, an authentic die-cast model company, to produce 24 (for each hour of the race) a replica of the race winning Viper as it crossed the finish...

    1:10th 2008 Dodge Viper SRT coupe! RC

    Le66, I've been looking for the yellow #33 for about a year now and it's the last one I need. I did come upon something unexpectedly while I was on eBay though, it was on of the 24 red #51 GTS-Rs that AutoArt detailed to look like the one that took the overall win at the Rolex 24 hours at...

    Who’s MAKING more HP than the 08 Viper now?

    I was just at a car last weekend and the local Ferrari and Lambo club were there, and a few other exotics showed up as well. A Mercedes SLR was parked next to my GTS, and it got half the attention as the Viper. A Ferrari 430 was on the other side an few even noticed it. There was an Enzo, 2...

    dead battery

    Call JonB. at Parts Rack. He's a sponsor of this website, and a heck of a nice guy. Also ask about a battery tender if you don't drive you Viper much.

    GTS gas cap

    I stripped mine with Easy-Off and poliched it for over an hour and it still had the dull aluminum lok. It might be cast like the wheels on the '96 Vipers because I had the same results when I tried to polish them. I finally just got a chrome gas cap and have no regrets.

    New upgrades to track car!

    I was thinking about going with the Tom's upgrade, but was wondering if the Gen III brakes on front and transferring the front brakes to the rear was enough of an improvement to justify the cost?

    Heading to SEMA show?

    I went last year and had a blast, but my father was with me and he took anything that was free...and guess who ended up carrying all his CRAP. I'm going again this year...ALONE so I should have a much better time. Check the schedule to see when and at what booths the celebrities will be. I've...

    1:10th 2008 Dodge Viper SRT coupe! RC

    You don't happen to have an extra yellow #33 do you? I have seen quite a few of the R/C cars sitting on the shelves. Does anyone need one?

    Wow, it not even worth 29K............

    I'd actually like to have the yellow wheels for originality later on down the road. What is the point of having a rare car if you get rid of what makes it rare? The McViper is growing on me, and if I could find on for a great price I'd probably get one.

    Would like a louder Viper

    I have a 96 GTS with '98 manifolds, 3" Borla exhaust, Random Tech High Flow Cats and a resonator. What effect will removing the resonator what as far as volume and tone. I love the deep sound, but wish it was a bit louder.

    Insurance Adjustor Trying To Give Me 36k For Totaled Acr??!

    I got hit by a government truck, and afterwards they told me the "salvage value" of my car was $800.00. It was a 1984 FILA Edition Thunderbird and I had just put in a new motor. I told them I didn't car what the salvage value of the car was because it was worth 5 times that right before it was...

    She wanted to lick my Car

    I stopped at Autozone for something and the teenager behind the counter has a meltdown and asks me if I can come back when he gets off work and take him home. I cannot imagine asking a complete stranger something like that and I was a little stunned. I've since learned to expect the unexpected...

    What's That Sound?

    I'm dealing with a similar problem. I heard a squeak...squeak...squeak coming from the front. I checked and made sure the rims weren't rubbing against anything and they weren't. All I could think of was warped rotors, so I ordered a new set. That didn't fix the problem, so ordered a new front...

    Not a bad price, the cheapest I found it here in "Lost Wages" (Las Vegas) is $6.69 for a quart of 10W30.
