    For those who drive HARD, how many have spun their Vipers??

    First time I took my 93 viper down the 1/8th mile track with my friend in his new charger. A trans-am blew antifreeze out about 3/4 way down. I just hit second had it straight and then was sideways looking at the guard rail about 2 feet in front. Pulled it straight but was about and inch from...

    When I was young I outran a cop in our 68 charger. Was ticketed by cops after that for stop signs, had witnesses 2 times that I would make them stop. In two weeks lost my license for 3 years, risk insurance. Had to drive my father in an emergency and was caught as the cop was driving 35 in...

    Rat under the hood!!

    I put steel wool in the exhaust. When I forget them they just blow out. I have two classic cars and the viper. take the sunvisors and turn them towards the inside of the car and flap down. Mice like to make nests there and they chew up the headliner. As for your dog we got invaded with mice...

    1st & 2nd gen Vipers in movies?

    There was a drifting movie where the oldest son from Home Improvement drove his dad's viper, racing the star in a junker he modified. Typical rich kid bad, poor kid cool. It wasn't a bad rece scene, but a lame movie. He wins and I think both cars gets trashed.

    Viper "Pack" to HOLD the sale price of our beloved Vipers!!

    I have a 73 Cuda that people are always offering me 8 to 6 grand less than what it is worth since I got it. Let's see I got it for $8,500 in the 90's and now it is worth $40,000 after a new paint job. I overpaid for my 93 viper, $35,000 but got new head gaskets, 10,000 miles completely worked...

    17" wheel options?

    I bought a set of used, not so good shape of H wheels off ebay. 18" fronts 19" back. They look great if you don't look to close. Previous owner took photos in the bright sun to cover up the curb rash on everyone.On the bright side I'm not worried about them as much as if they were perfect. It is...

    Racecars...ATTN DAVE

    There was a funny song back in the 80's with Paul Simon, "You can call me Al". He wrote it after a guy who called him Al all night at a party. This is back when he was at the top of his career. So if you want you can call me Dave.

    Power Stearing Cap Popped Off !!!

    I took my car to the track and the tech spec removed the cap and it looked like he tightened it down. A kid at the track late that night wanted to see the engine. I half reluctantly showed him and saw I had no cap. I was glad I showed him. Could not find it. $35.00 for the cap from the dealer...

    Dogs and Vipers - Bring em' for a ride?

    This has got to be the funniest message, yet. I have a Wiemaraner that I take hunting in my jeep. Before the mother died she would contantly run back and forth in the back seat so she wouldn't miss anything. He pup now 9 is kind of freaked out from the mom and goes in the back. She ripped up the...

    How to Repair Curb Rash

    Thanks, I took the car, with the rims, on to a place that fixes rims and they said that they were chrome and they couldn't do it. I'm going to give it a try, they can't look worse than what I have, I hope. It looked like they were peeling back or a layer on it. Was that just the clearcoat. A...

    How to Repair Curb Rash

    I bought the Gen III off ebay and they came with a bunch of curb rash on each rim. I was going to do what you did but they looked like they were chrome. Will this work on them? Can you feather the area to the rim so you can't see the chip?

    Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm

    I new I should have bought the K&N instead of the high flow filters and smooth tubes. Always get the information to late. Just this last weekend someone was explaining to me how I wiped out my viper at the track, then I explained to him how the story is getting just a little overblown when he...

    Had my 93 for 3 days..having fun..and some Q's

    Mine doesn't rattle. I thought it was normal for a Dodge to turn over a few times before it started, think mine is more on the 2-3 second time. Everyone from the 60's on up did this. Everyone a good car still have the 68 charger, 73 cuda. Are you sure you have all the bolts and pegs in place for...

    Looking for a set of wheels and tires!!!

    I bought a set of 18 fronts and 19 backs about a year ago from ebay. After shipping cost me $1,500. The guy took photos in bright sunlight. When I got them they were full of curb rash. I don't how someone could be that bad a driver and be able to operate a viper. No offense ladies but I think...

    Gen 1 Question...

    I took the lazy mans way and the cheap way. I have a zune and just plug in the cassette adapter into the radio. You could do this with an Ipod or other Mp3 player. I like it because I can make my playlist depending on the mood I'm in. I think it sounds great except the left front drivers side...

    At the risk of attack, I ask this question...

    I have a Gen I and put Gen III rims on. 18" fronts and 19" rears. They look great and I have a lot better traction. I would recommed going with 18" all around as the back are real close to plastic inner wheel well. Only about a 1/4" from the front of the tire to the body. Got them off ebay and...

    Another Viper in Iowa!

    Hi! I live in Des Moines. It would be nice to get some viper guys together sometime. I'm going to the Iowa speedway on Friday 23rd. I also belong to the mopar club here. They are having a car show on June 7th. All the money goes to a charity home. Really good cause.
