    Take a Viper to a Corvette club event?

    I'm in Abilene, and since there are no other Viper owners here that bring their cars out I hang out with the Corvette club. One of the members approached me at an auto parts store while I was in the Viper and invited to attend their Saturday night event. We met up and went to eat, and I've been...

    Attention all lady viper owners

    The original owner of my 96 GTS was a really nice lady, and after 7 years of ownership I finally got to meet her at VOI10. She was very meticulous about documenting the maintenance on the car, and she talked me to attend an high performance driving school before driving the car hard (and...

    Salvage title vipers?

    If it was stolen, it was probably abused pretty badly (would you steal a 500hp car and drive it like a little old lady?); I'd be more meticulous about inspecting it for that very reason. You already know you're not going to make any money off of it if/when you try to sell it, so me, personally...

    Looking for a GTS project

    It's in the Dallas area, and if you're going to track it this might save you a lot of time and money. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/3165294745.html It's not my car, I just remembered seeing it on Cragslist. Good luck.

    Pictures of Vipers with GTSR spoiler?

    If you have a wing on the back, you also need a splotter or cannards on the front to balance the downforce unless the wing is at a 0 degree angle.

    When will the Gen 5 Hotwheels hit the retail shelves?

    Chad, did you get one yet? WalMart (here in Abilene) had a large box full of Hot Wheels, and I spent 20-30 minutes sorting through it and found 10 blue Comp Coupes and 9 2013 Vipers. PM me your address if you still don't have one.

    Wife passes on 2013 Viper GTS

    I'm in Texas now, but pretty far away from any big cities/clubs so I hang out with the local Corvette club.

    Wife passes on 2013 Viper GTS

    I wish I had that kind of coin, but I'm still living on a single military income; my father is seriously thinking about getting one though. He just bought a 392 Yellowjacket Challenger and traded his Furious Fuschia R/T for it. He's waiting to hear if he'll get 100% disability from the VA, and...

    Wife passes on 2013 Viper GTS

    I agree with Bad Viper, once she sees the new Viper she'll forget about everything else. I saw it Austin, and the color is beautiful. I'm VERY emotionally attached to my Gen II, and the Gen V is the ONLY car I would even think about trading mine for.

    Greg Good gives good heads! -- pics inside!

    I learned a long time ago to go with the tried and true; even if it costs more. I'd rather pay for something done right the first time by someone like Greg Good, and have the peace of mind that I'm not going to have my car down for a long time because I'm having to get something fixed because I...

    Anyone know what's going on with R&J Distributing?

    Consider yourself lucky. As you can see from Hoosier Daddy's post, the guy has zero business ethics and tries to pass off "quality parts" that he has never even laid eyes on. If I were selling something that was a representation of my store, you can be dang sure I'd know what I was sending my...

    VETTE OWNER, FUTURE VIPER OWNER NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!!

    I've had my 96 GTS since 2005, and I've put 19,000 miles on it. The driver's side front hub has been replaced and so has the clutch slave cylinder. I recently replaced an A/C line, but other than those 3 things the car has performed flawlessly. When I lived in Vegas I worked at the drag strip...

    Anyone know what's going on with R&J Distributing?

    I agree. I bought/got ripped off from them once, and that's all it took so now I buy somewhere else. I don't care if they were giving away their products, I'll never deal with them again! I'm the guy that bought the door panels that were supposedly off a "3,500 mile Viper" (rusted, cracked and...

    If You Had to Dump Your Viper...What Car Would You Get?

    I've got a 96 GTS and Plum Crazy SRT-8. I've been thinking about an original Mini Cooper because of the 40-45 mpg, but if money was no object I'd get a Ferrari F40 or 288 GTO, a McLaren F1, a Countach (but not the Anniversary edition) or a V8 Arial Atom; the newer Ferraris and Lambos just don't...

    What happened to my post about TireRack's great Pilot Sport Cup deal?

    I'm not affilitaed either, and just wanted to pass along to other owners that there is a really good sale going on right now for 345/30/ZR19 Pilot Sport Cup tires. Contact Luck (I believe it's extension 362), and get new shoes for your snake ($222.00 each...regular price $593.00 each).

    Looking to buy a GTS and saw this today

    Also, see if there are any other Viper owners in the area that might know the car. If you're serious about the car, just straight up ask the owner what happned to the valve covers. I've used the wrong product for cleaning, so if that's what happenend to this car I wouldn't let that be the...

    Wheels listed in the classifieds***CHEAP***

    I'm tempted to buy them because I always see 18" tires for sale, but rarely any for my stock 17" rims or 19" VR-1s. You have a really good looking car, can you tell any difference with the wing and splitter?

    Viper GTS for sale

    I'd pass on a 2000 because it has the creampuff motor (just my personal opinion-I don't need your feedback) and no ABS...like on a 2001. Vipers are a very select market, and people usually know exactly what they want when they drop that kind of coin on a weekend toy. Your color is rare and...

    Is this the most shine I'll get with clearcoated 5 spokes?

    The earlier rims were cast, and very brittle. They're know for breaking, and some tracks won't let you use them. I have a 96 GTS and traded my rims for a set of forged (I believe on the 98 and up). They do turn the rag black when I polish them, and that's how I like it. I can get them to look...
