    Would You Valet Your Viper??? Y/N???

    Absolutely no frigg'in way...Nope, notta, end of dicussion... After pulling my RX-7 into a classy restaurant (nothing special in the RX-7, very nice, clean black car) the valet while opening the door for my wife said, in a low voice "I can't believe your husband valets a nice car like this"...

    what's the top speed you've hit on the streets ?

    Re: what\'s the top speed you\'ve hit on the streets ? I guess this is wimpy, but 115 mph in 3rd gear! The day I picked up my Viper (year ago this month). I had the wife in the car, slithered onto the fwy, it was totally open, so I just rolled on the go pedal in 2nd and shifted into 3rd with a...

    Parts Rack & Jon B. Come thru again

    I must say, JonB came thru for me also! I was looking for a decal, one for which other folks that looked at dealers said there wasn't even a part number for it listed...Which overall, from a 96 RT, did not sound beyond the realm of possibility... I e-mailed JonB...I followed up 4-5 business...

    Keith, if you are ever in the Bay Area with 20-30 minutes to spare, I would love a tutorial on how to remove the front fascia on my 96...My headlight/hood/fascia gaps are not close enough for my liking, so I need to learn this procedure... Tomer

    Dealer Fraud Question

    I think this deserves more thought, but, here are a couple initial thoughts; -totally agree you should get it in writing if possible -think about getting it repaired at another dealership, hopefully one with good references from Viper owners - VCA members -speak to the service manager and see...

    Noisy Viper & Laguna Seca, can I run???

    At the risk of asking the dumb question, why is the track sooooooooooo tight on this? If a stock Viper is on the hairy edge of getting black flagged, are they not too strict? Stock Vipers are not that loud after all... I don't know the area, but I assume there is not any retirement homes right...

    Re: Video: Viper reinforces \'image\' - saves car In hind sight, looks like that manuever had very little chance of success... What do you think the impact noice was, his front fascia hitting the inner curb? Tomer

    God hates me (long, but on topic)

    Andy, very sorry to hear about your snake!!! There may be some misc brackets bent behind the bumper, but that should be minor...I agree with you on the hood, having not seen it, but it would be best for your long term to get a new hood. Course, the cost is through the roof, so you may have a...

    Differences between 96 RT10 and newer Rt10s

    96 RTs (black and white ones) were the first RTs with stripes from the factory! Also strongest frame of any viper. No air bags, no crumple zones in the frame. The White cars have blue leather accents on the steering wheel, shifter, and emerg brake. Wilddude, what do the black cars have?? I...

    Good news!

    MM, are you getting a NEW side sill? Not sure what you mean by sill cover...Does your car have the newer stype side sills, without rivets? If you have the original style, maybe now is a good time to replace both...Course they are aweful expensive...Even if you only pay for one and Ins pays for...

I will let you know if I find a...

    RT/10s at Thunderhill - legal or not?

    Does anyone know if I can run? Even with the hardtop? I do not have an aftermarket roll bar. I have read that Thunderhill requires some form of roll protection for convertibles... I was told good things about www.tracquest.com. Anyone here attend one of these events? I am particularly...

    RT/10s at Thunderhill - legal or not?

    Good thing they didn't lift the hardtop themselves, thereby getting a sense for how much (or little) roll protection the top provides Tomer
