    Evo beats 3 Vipers at Laguna Seca ... who was driving?

    Since I was also racing there(not ITE but GT1),if I remember correctly,John Dearing,with his GTS on 275 Toyos front tires,was,shall we say,a little faster than the Evo? Luc.00GTS

    Pros/Cons of leasing...

    "misconception about tax write offs on leases versus purchases. You can deduct a car for business 'expenses' regardless of wether you buy it or lease it." There is a big difference, leasing is a straight expense meaning 100% of the lease cost per year is considered an expense in the same tax...

    Pros/Cons of leasing...

    If you really want to save money and can lease as a business expense, you want to have the highest possible monthly lease fee ( done by claiming that your annual mileage is 30K or wathever # work) in order to lower the residual/value of the car at lease end and buy it at it's much reduced value...

    Come on in... The water is nice.....

    I agree, a "regular" Viper, being a RT,SRT or GTS is never going to be worth $500K, too many of them were build. frankly,I couldn't care less how much my car will be worth in X many years,I bought it to enjoy it,not as an investement. Luc.00GTS

    Come on in... The water is nice.....

    You guys are missing the point,you will have to be an idiot not to recognize/accept the fact that the SRT is a "better" car (handling,brake,HP,etc) but,the thread was not about which car is "better" but about which car will retain it's value better,be more collectible in the future. Very few...

    PRICES.. GTS's... will the SRTs drop below?

    Re: PRICES.. GTS\'s... will the SRTs drop below? Hoesepower/handling,above a certain level,has no impact on price/collectibility (sp?) of a car.look at a Ferrari Testarosa compared to a Daytona. One has a design which already started to look dated a couple of years after the car came out,the...

    VCA discount @ Valaya Racing?

    I don't know about discount but Ted and Al are good guys (and racers) and one thing is sure: NO VIPER TAX with them, which in my book is better than a discount. Luc. 00GTS

    998 recall done incorrectly??

    Bill: How much time ($) do DC allow for the 998 ? I have not done it on my 00GTS because a/ I don't track the car and the steering rack is fine and b/ because of all the horror stories. I did go the repair kit, very cheap from what I remember,in case I change my mind . Luc 00GTS

    AC shuts off when on the gas pedal

    no, it's only a lack of vaccum,not a leak, and the only other component that use vacuum as "energy" is the brake booster but since it's pretty hard to be at WOT and braking at the same time, it's not an issue. Luc.00GTS

    A/C Shutting Off

    The problem (and fix that we are talking about) have to do with the A/C vents closing (lost of forced air) at WOT due to lack of vacuum. The A/C clutch will still dis-engage at WOT but that has no impact on being able to have the vents blowing cold air at WOT since WOT only last for a few...

    Gen II power windows switch illumination

    I have done this modification on my 00 GTS and was wondereing is there is any interest in me doing a kit/instruction sheet? Some background: If you look closely at the very top of the switches, you will see a little clear plastic window. Reason for it is that those switches were/are designed...

    AC shuts off when on the gas pedal

    99gtsacr: you're right, if you can acces the valve through the radio cavity,it's better to do it there. On my car, I used a different system,instead of a 1 way valve,I used a combination vaccum reservoir/valve (Jeep/DC part # 53 00 34 08) it's a black plasic ball about 3" in diameter that I...

    AC shuts off when on the gas pedal

    johann: I'm using the 2000 service manual. They could have moved the pins around but I'm pretty sure the A/C work the same. Try to look at the pin-out diagrams for all the connectors Luc.

    AC shuts off when on the gas pedal

    Yes, on the side at the back of the valve cover. You will see a rubber 90* elbow with a hard plastic line in it. Luc.00GTS

    AC shuts off when on the gas pedal

    You can do it either way since we are talking about the same black vaccum line but it's a lot easier to put it on the engine side since (at least on my 00) to remove the A/C controler,you need to pull the dash out to access the screws holding it and I don't think that you can reach the valve by...

    AC shuts off when on the gas pedal

    I'm sure than the A/C clutch dis-engage at WOT but, that's not the reason for the vent problem The clutch cycle all the time under the control of the low pressure cycling clutch switch and you don't loose airflow to the vents. No,why am I sure that the clutch dis-engage at WOT? The service...

    AC shuts off when on the gas pedal

    Darkshadow: The answer is very simple: All the valves/flaps are actuated by vaccum motors,the one we are talking about is open with vaccum and closed with no vaccum. When you put a check valve,even at WOT,the vaccum stay in the lines/vaccum motors and allow the valve to stay open,so basically...

    Save your Viper Engine

    Of course wear does occur at start up,as well than when the engine is running,otherwise an engine will last forever, the real question is how much more "life" an engine designed for $150k miles will gain with an Accusump. 5,10,50,100 miles? I agree with you that oil starvation is a lot more...
