    Viper Track Event at Buttonwillow Jan 17-18, 2015

    Since you proposed it, would be great if you would share the finances. With my long experience in this business I could maybe show you some ways to be more cost efficient or save money.

    Viper Track Event at Buttonwillow Jan 17-18, 2015

    Not only am I a Viper owner (00GTS) but I also run an open-track/race club in California, including at BW. The cost of running a weekend event at BW is about $20K, inclusive of everything, meaning track, ambulance, tow, insurance, corner workers, etc. If my maths are correct, 55 driver X $395 =...

    Replacing oxygen sensors, is it actually needed and worth it?

    100% BS. To start, time has nothing to do with OS getting "bad". If that was the case manufactures/dealers will have to rotate/trash their inventory every 3 to 5 years?????????????? Mileage do have an impact on OS but usually they are good for 100K miles at a minimum. So let see, carbon...

    not feeling real good about my 01 RT/10

    A " regular''01 GTS, meaning not an ACR, did not have a sticker of $86K. Take about $10K off this figure. Curious to see/know what type of window sticker you got

    Just got the DMV renewal ( California) and my 00 GTS has to go the STAR smog program instead of a regular station. Anyone has the same issue?

    Please advise before i buy!

    As a prospective buyer, you are a little worried about the car having been in an accident and want to use it as a leverage to get a better price on the car. As an owner, when the time come to sell the car, you will be facing the same situation, but in reversed roles, with any potential buyers...

    Best Engine Oil for the GTS

    Kind of sad, less than 200 miles/year. What is the point to have a viper if you don't drive it?

    Best Engine Oil for the GTS

    Changing oil every 3,000 miles, except in a few specific situations is a complete waste of time, money and energy. This "3,000" schedule have been promoted for ever by.... you guess who?: oil companies and business that sell you oil changes

    01-02 ACR Shock Evaluation Question

    Quote "The ACRs also had a different oil filter adapter that bypassed the filter during hard acceleration preventing oil starvation. completely wrong. On a non ACR car, a control valve shut off oil flow to the cooler when oil pressure is below 30psi. (was mostly done for A/C reason) On a ACR...

    Rare Viper to be Crushed

    That the cars have no emission control has nothing to do with why Fiat decided to crush them. The only reason is money/legal liability due to a couple of those, not-for-the-road cars , being involved in traffic accidents and costing a bunch of money to Fiat due to lawsuits. You can't blame Fiat...

    Gen II and Gen III/IV Comparison

    Fastest car ever ( bone stock) was a 2000 RT. Don't add much credibility to your statement

    S2000 push button start

    One of the thing that I never understood. Now instead of 1 step start, you need 2 steps. It would make sense to have a push button start if you had a proximity key/fob that you can keep in your pocket.

    Overcooling ?

    much colder than engine specs/design is as bad than overheating. #1 issue would be the lubrication, you have moisture in the oil and that need to be removed by having the oil hot enough.

    Overcooling ?

    must have a problem with the thermostat. Once warmed up, the minimum temperature should be pretty close to the thermostat rating.

    What about your Gen2?

    Here is a copy of a post and answer in another thread. Do your Gen 2 has those 2 features? Re: Gen II dash ?

    Observations about the VCA - this is good

    Mixed feelings. It's certainly a step in the right direction, not only regarding the content but, and, as important, the tone of the letter. As I said mixed feelings because it do feel that the BOD is moving in the right direction, not so much by choice but being forced to do so by what has...

    Observations about the VCA - this is good

    I can't believe all this drama about what? a CAR Club?????????? I was a member years ago, decided that I didn't liked censorship and therefore never renewed my membership. Still have plenty of friends with Vipers and I still have my Viper (00GTS) Seems to me that the peoples taking this whole...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    Bob: You are dead wrong regarding the timing of the lack of transparency and excessive banning. You have been on this forum as long than me (October 2000) so you must know that the issues of censorship, banning, Magic Wand, etc, started way back in 2001. OVER 12 YEARS AGO. This club and now the...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    Exactly what I have been saying all along. Same peoples. For me, the VOA is even worst, they don't want to assume responsibility/take ownership for the way the VCA was run when they were part of it. They want us to believe that either they didn't knew or could do nothing to change it, BS.
