    Viper as a road car

    You are right about the road dirt. Even on clear days with no rain the car was completely coated by the end of the day. Must be something on the road or the exhaust from other cars. I spent the end of each day cleaning up the car. I thought I was driving fast enough to miss the dirt or at...

    Viper as a road car

    I've never had any problem with heat in either my 96 GTS or the 2001. Air works great, seats are comfortable even on the long haul and I am about 6'. I use the center console as an arm rest. Sometimes rubs my elbow a little but nothing serious. Didn't use the radio much though. Stock one is...

    Viper as a road car

    You are right about Bill and the dealership. It has been more convenient to buy my cars through Bill than locally. No hassle and everything is done right. One strange thing I forgot to mention is that I only saw one viper in those two weeks and that was a yellow 2001 roadster in Des Moines...

    Viper as a road car

    Not to bore anyone to death but I just returned from a cross country trip in my yellow 2001 GTS. Total miles 5704 starting in California heading to upstate New York, down through Missouri and back across Highway 40. Had a great time. Car was very comfortable and I managed about 25 miles to the...

    Transmission Mount?

    I found a polyeurethane one for my 96GTS. Are the later ones different? Unfortunately I am not sure of the maker as it came from David Wilks but it worked great. Leonard

    Engine knock on the track

    Andy: Are you talking about pinging type knock or a rod type knock. I am not sure on the 98 but my 96GTS had to have the heads removed to clean up the deposits that had built up in only about 5000 miles when I first got the car. Since then I have not had the problem. If it is a rod type...

    2001 ABS Warning Light

    I had the same problem with my 2001. Turned out that the control unit had to be replaced. No problem driving the car. Just be aware the ABS is not working.

    Corsa cat-backs

    I installed the Corsa system on my 2001 viper since I wanted to use it for trips and cruising. I like the sound a lot especially at idle and WOT. As you know the 2001 idles like a cadillac. Too smooth for my taste but I have a modified 96GTS when I want to have real fun. Anyway the Corsa...

    Braided Steel Brake Lines for ABS cars

    Thanks to Jon B's post a while back I just got my new steel braided brake lines from Stop Tech. They used my car as a tester since the bracketry and routing of the lines is different for ABS cars (2001 and later). I must say the feel of the brake pedal is much better. Since the car is new the...

    ABS

    I have a 2001 GTS and the new ABS brakes are a great improvement. However, now the warning light is on and won't go off. I tried disconnecting the battery to reset but that did not work. It did this once before when it was on the dyno and they applied the brakes when only the rear wheels were...

    Has anyone installed the Northwind seat lowerig kit?

    I installed the 1" kit as well with no problem. It really helped especially when wearing a helmet. Only took about an hour if I remember correctly. Good luck.

    New Viper Engine noise

    Not only are you hearing lifter noise which does not go away but also the injectors are quite noisy. I forgot how noisy as my 96GTS is pretty loud now with all the modifications and when I got the 2001 recently you can really here the mechanical noises. Best idea is a cat back exhaust and you...

    Is new "race Yellow" same as previous yellow? More questions...

    Re: Is new \"race Yellow\" same as previous yellow? More questions... Jim: Can't answer all your questions but here are a few. The new race yellow is very different from the earlier yellow viper. It is much like the new yellow on the prowlers if you have seen those. May be the same. AS for...

    Why is my 2001 ACR so slow?

    Hey Paul. Sorry to hear about the new car. I just got back to town and am trying to get some miles on my 01 so I can dyno it. I know it feels slower than my 96 but I have a lot of mods on that one. As soon as I can get to at least 1000 miles I will dyno it as well and let you know. Hope all...

    Re: Pemberton and Woodhouse are THE BEST! PERIOD! Thanks for my \'01 Yellow ACR! I too have to chime in. I just received my 2001 yellow w/o stripes today. Last month I ordered and received a silver 2001 prowler. Bill makes it soooooo easy I don't know if I can afford to talk to him anymore...
