    need help with clutch question

    I have been noticing a clicking that I can hear and feel sometimes when I step on the clutch. Seems to be getting more frequent. Thought at first it might be the switch that won't allow you to start the car unless the clutch is in. However, I only seem to notice it when the car is moving. A...

    Hardtop Help, Dodge Or Northwind?

    I went for the V-mania top and would highly recommend it. Goes on fast and easy and looks great. Got the scoop and it really sets the car off. I posted a pic on the site a month or so ago. Do and search and you can see it. Biff painted the stripes to match and it come out perfect. Ken

    NewGuy questions - Value of 94 RT? Eliminate mufflers?

    I think the older cars will hold their value well. I have had mine for 2 years and could get very close to what I paid, however, I can't ever see selling it. I replaced the mufflers with staight pipes soon after I got the car. At first I couldn't believe how loud it was and the drone with the...

    I've been VIOLATED!!

    Re: I\'ve been VIOLATED!! Laura, Sorry to hear about your car. It is a fear we all live with. Being a Texas boy I can only think of one solution to your problem. Get the car fixed, return and park it at the same spot and wait on a near-by building with a high powered rifle. Ken

    DMV holding my new plates....

    Finally got the notice that my new Calif. plates were in (IMSOSLO). Went to get them and since my registration is less than 30 days away they won't let me have them until I get the new registration in the mail. Really want to get the plates on before I race again but I guess if this is the...

    Drags at Carlsbad again

    Steve, I will have the new exhaust system and flywheel in before then. I am sure I could be talked into going to see what happens to my times. Ken

    Help - - Adding Stripes after the fact - - -Paint or Sticker?

    I have vinyl stripes on my car and ordered a V-mania top that has painted stripes. The color match is perfect and you really can't tell the difference unless you run a fingernail on the vinyl and feel the edge. For the money I would do the stick on again. Just my two cents, Ken

    Should have bought a Corvette....

    Finnviper, Welcome to the club. My wife loves having a viper in the garage because she never has to run our for milk etc. I always offer to go so I can drive the car. I moved to San Diego from Flower Mound a year ago. I really miss the viperclub there but I don't miss the heat. Make sure you...

    road course this weekend...

    Mike, I guess I put Brad in there as you had mentioned Brad Chang. I have got to quit doing this after long days at work. Looks like my time for the 5th will need to be 139.8 to beat SoCal. Ken

    road course this weekend...

    Brad, SoCal was correct. With a borrowed Rolex (you have to love car people to give their Rolex to a stranger to time with) Sandy clocked me around 1:45-1:48. I would love to see SoCal get down to 1:30 that would be flying. Steve, I ran 6 times as much as I could go. Usually the sessions were...

    road course this weekend...

    50 extra RWHP...a monkey could have driven your car and won at the drags. Willow Springs requires some skill and I will have the headers and flywheel on by then. Remember Monterey in evenly matched cars? Should be a good time. Bragging rights at stake. Bring your A game. Ken

    Carlsbad tomarrow

    Ran at Willow Springs with the new EBC greens on the back and yellow on the front (thanks Jon B. for the quick ship). They worked great. Headers and exhaust system on its way and should be installed before the next event on 9/5. Will likely get a light weight flywheel in as well. 130 MPH on the...

    road course this weekend...

    I spend the best day of my Viper life at Willow Springs this weekend. 2.5 mile road course and it is supposed to be one of the fastest around. 130+ on the front straight and 100+ on the last big sweeper. Lots of high end cars and 4 vipers running. Last heat of the day a race prepared Ferrari 360...

    Carlsbad tomarrow

    Steve, I won't make it. Just got back from Willow Springs event today. What a blast 130+ on the front straight and 100+ on corner 8 the big sweeper. Still like the drags but road racing is the way to go. Ken

    Willow Springs Sat. 8/4

    definately BYOC. Sandy signed me up and they told her lots of high end cars and didn't seem to think much of an old 94 Dodge showing up. Can't wait to show them what a little American technology can do. Ken PS. Of course this will give me a little head start on getting ready for the Rebel on 9/5

    Willow Springs Sat. 8/4

    Anyone else going to Willow Springs this Sat? My wife got me signed up to run with the Motorsports Club of Beverly Hills. They are supposed to have Lemans G2 & G3 drivers there to instruct. Sounds like a good time with lots of high end cars participating. Just wondering if I will be the lone...

    hate green lights?

    She saw the message and just shook her head. Told her I was going to drop big money tomorrow just to kick Socal at the drags and she gave me that "you are crazy look" and walked away. At least she didn't say no! Ken

    Went to Carlsbad Drags today.....

    Can't stand it guys. I will be on the phone tomorrow for the headers and maybe flywheel/gears. Really want to take Socal with an old slow GenI. Only 0.4 sec away Ken

    Yahhhoooo!! My first Viper finally arrived off the truck today!!

    Steve, Congradulations and welcome. Don't worry that stupid smile you get every time you drive will wear off......actually after some thought I remembered that it never wears off. After having mine for two years my face still hurts from smiling every time I drive the car. Have fun and be safe...

    hate green lights?

    It is funny how my attitude changes when I drive the viper. In my truck I always seem to be in a hurry and get annoyed when I hit a red light. In the viper I look forward to red lights so I can down shift and launch again. I am almost disappointed when I hit a green light. I also have been known...

    Drags at Carlsbad, Ca. this Sunday...

    Ulysses, All you have to do is rev. to to around 5000 and drop the clutch. :-)By the way did I mention I want to run against you your first run. I figure once you get over the butterflys and get the hang of it I won't stand a chance. Ken

    Tire choices?

    I tried a set of Bridestones and went back to the pilots. I think they are a lot better tire for autocrossing or drag racing. Better traction. Ken

    Drags at Carlsbad, Ca. this Sunday...

    Ulysses is going to run???? I wouldn't miss it for the world. Glad to see you are finally going to get that car dirty. I will show up with my old slow Gen I. Ken

    Carlsbad Drags on August 5th anyone?

    Steve, Count me in as I have my new top. Charlie threw me off last time because I was running with my soft top. I am sure the Rebel will be looking for some pay back for Monterey. Ken
