    Worlds Best Driver?

    I don't think drifting is really high on my list of "best driving" skills. I admit it takes skill, but I don't know when I'd be rich enough to afford a few sets of tires to burn off in an afternoon. ... but if someone sponsores me - that definitely looks like fun. Last set of tires cost...

    How do I avoid swirl marks in the paint?

    I ordered microfiber drying towels from turbowax and he sent me large, thick towels that work excellent for drying. Ted

    Alberta vipers to salt lake city

    Yah, I got it Tyler thanks. I'm trying to arrange a wheel alignment on my way down there. I had the GM Dealer do my car twice ($500) and it slipped both times so ... since Mr. Goodwrench charges extra and doesn't GUARANTEE their worksmanship, I need a Firestone or somewhere that has the...

    Where are the FEs?

    I was talking to a paint guy and he said waterbased paints suck. You can still buy the good Gen 2 paint in China. Ain't Gov great?

    Commercial car wash

    Although a stock Viper is less risk than mine, I'm sure you've read many "They wrecked my car" threads and that's one of the reasons why you don't give your car to someone else to take to the wash and bring it back. Another reason YOU (sorry I) was my car is because I find any new scratches...

    So I Went to Get My New Tires Mounted This Morning and it Just Goes to Show...

    I just finished a TPMS instal for my GTS. The Hela guage shows tire pressure and temperature and indicates which tire is being 'read'. Only a couple hundred bucks. The Tire Pressure Monitor System also changes colors warning of tire pressure problems and will also sound an alert if the air is...

    Daughter and Viper day out...GREAT DAY

    So you guys don't have laws that state that under 60# and whatever age/height the kids have to be in an approved safety seat? We've got some real laws here. Can't import a car into Canada unless it has the child tether/anchor behind the seat (all Viper have it). The passenger air bag needs to...

    Took advantage of a track rental...analyze my run!

    I posted a video of "all" the supercars racing (like the rest of the car mags there is no Viper included). YOUR car looks like the ZR1 in that video (Driven forum). Always figured that they run the ZR1 because the Viper is too fast. Paste a ZR1 sticker on your car for fun? (I know, you've...

    The stripes do not get painted on the chin spoiler (on my 3 GTSs).

    Commercial car wash

    It should be mentioned that if squished bugs are left on the paint they will damage the paint. Even if you only use the car wash to clean the bugs and then show your car (like at VOI) dirty, clean the bugs. There will be a few areas for handwashing at the Hotels I was informed so there will...

    DC Performance doesn't just do Vipers

    with those numbers that seesm really close to what Vipers are good for. I'm planning on stopping at 800rwhp for my stock bottom end (with pistons). Figured that I'll have the Nitrous hooked up, ... "just in case". Realize that usig the Nitrous under 3500rpm on top of 800rwhp would probably...

    Newbie Questions; maybe going from Porsche to viper

    Perhaps the best reference for the Dodge Viper is that although the Tremec was invented for a Viper - it comes in Shebly GT500 mustangs, Z06s and ZR1s. The Michellin Pilot Sports Tires and sport cups were invented for the Viper and now they come on ZR1s, Porsches and other supercars. I...

    Newbie Questions; maybe going from Porsche to viper

    Well the pwr str bracket is cast aluminium not plastic. The pwr str problem (with supercharger) is also the plastic pulley. Both available from Roe racing and Jonb sells the Big Brake Dave's replacements. Other than the Cats the Viper is an excellent piece of workmanship. Chrylser...

    Commercial car wash

    Travelling crosscountry with the Washington VCA I learned from Bill Sand that most Hotels and Motels have ruined towels and are very helpful when you're wanting to wash your car. Since that trip I usually ask, and receive, old cotton towels and a bucket from 90% of Hotels/Motels I stop at...

    Caravan to VOI 11

    Wow really sorry to hear that Ron. I really wanted to see how that new engine and paint looked. Only saw you that time at Leduc. Take care! If I can help out in some way let me know. Hopefully you'll get out to all the events next year? Ted

    Oil pickup question>

    I think I'd check a main cap or two and make sure the bearings are perfect while everything is apart. It would be a good time to buy a pan upgrade kit and install that. 1Tony1 sells them for the 97s?

    2002 Final Edition GTS

    The only stock vehicle I'd buy would be brand new and it wouldn't last a month before I fixed the Cats and the tune. I actually like the sound of the 2010 Vipers, but the phrase coined for the Gen 1 and carried through the Gen 2 was, "sounds like a UPS truck." Engineered exhaust, Hi-flow Cats...

    Daughter and Viper day out...GREAT DAY

    Makes me remmeber when my Uncle brought a 63 Max Wedge car for my Dad to try out. Whole family went. I remember my Dad saying. "Second gear and we're going 90mph!" I remember the sensation and wanted it to go on forever. Thnk I was about 7. Time to create a memory for the 10 year old...

    Pics of my 98 GTS

    That says it uses exposure bracketing and the RAW files for manipulation in the computer. Canon's computer program is DPP.
