    Gas Mileage - How far can you go on a tank...

    11/15 mpg around town. 21/22 mpg hwy. (with 3.33 gears.) The harder you drive the lower your mileage. Mileage can be somewhat improved by keeping your RPM's down complements of the huge low end torque the motor produces.

    where can you buy the air box clips?

    ab, is this the same dealer that has the Viper tech with the bad attitude? I think you would do well to be looking for a new service facility before you get really stuck!

    Spark plugs? Recommendations?

    General consensus is that nothing works better than the stock RC12LYC Champion plugs, unless you have detonation problems, in which case you might try a cooler NGK FR5-1. I like to change mine about every 8 to 10 thousand miles. I can Get Champions usually for about a dollar each. Platinum...

    Bad gas!! Need help!!

    I agree with you Hisstoy. I was suggesting that it is extremely easy to siphon gas from a Viper, that's all. Something to consider the next time the price of gas goes outa sight! A locking cap keeps the good stuff in, and the bad stuff out.(JD)

    Ok, so i finally drove a GTS and here is what i found..

    All of your points are true. That's part of what makes this car such a kick! Thank goodness you weren't entertaining buying a AC Shelby Cobra. Obviously it's not your kind of ride. No big deal. Go find something more to your liking. I've owned a '65 Sunbeam Tiger, '69 AMX, ,73 Pantera, to name...

    GTS door alignment?

    A GTS door is suspended by a single hinge that has a up and down, in and out, and forward and aft adjustment. If you have doubts about the integrity of the doors or hinges, I would suggest you visit a body shop for a accurate assessment of the problem. A good body shop should be able to adjust...

    Hay Tony, would you understand the description "850lb organically fired vibrator?" "We fly em slow and shift em low" and they last forever. My parts guy has been in business since 1903! Some may laugh, but you never throw a used Harley away......pa..ta..do..pa..ta..do..

    HMS pratices

    Just for the record, no deposit was required of me when H.M.S. built my 650R back in the early spring of 1999. I paid for the work when it was completed. The car was delivered back (late) but within two months of the agreed completion date. Since that time, H.M.S has stood behind it's 3 year...

    HMS offering "No Money Down" !?

    Re: HMS offering \"No Money Down\" !? No Rock, this is not a new H.M.S policy. After all, H.M.S or any other shop for that matter (if they have your car) could could put a "mechanics lean" on the car until the bill is paid if necessary. A healthy business should only need your car as collateral...

    Viper Question for all you enthusiests

    More valves = more cost & eventually more maintenance. Where else can you find this kind of performance for the price? Go ahead and spend the extra $$$ and we will probably still out perform you.

    Crossmember Cover Plate

    Ok. Now I'm jealous! Looks great John. Very original, but not for long I suspect.! I think Zero should add this to it's list of goodies. How about the Colorado Region raffling one of these babies off for a fund raiser?....(JD)

    Crossmember Cover Plate

    Nope, the photo did not make the trip John. Now you got me curious about your new goody. I warned you about Viper withdrawal when the car sits with out a motor .

    tranny fluid change

    The drain plug is located on the right (passenger side) of the transmission tail housing. The fill plug is located on the left (drivers side) of the transmission housing. The transmission is full when the fluid level is even with the bottom of the fill hole.

    Tire preasure

    Not really, but I use 32 psi F&R. This is personal taste for my own driving. Some use more. Practically no one uses less than 29. Be warned that tire pressures due effect your cars handling significantly! Try the "search" feature for tires & tire pressure.
