    What am I not getting here on the Viper/Vette comfort issue?

    We drove down to Cincinnati to pick up our '94 two years ago last November. I remember the drive home well, as I "borrowed" a plate from one of our other cars, just to have one on the car to drive it home with. It was 325 miles of fun, even at night, but I watched the speed limit very...

    Viper DVD

    Roy, I don't think it is copy protected at all. It has a great sound track, and when I play it here at home, the walls shske and the windows rattle.

    Viper DVD

    Just got our VCA membership copy last night. As I pulled it out of the envelope and showed it to my wife, she made a face like "Oh boy, just what we need, another one to turn up the volume on and shake the living room walls with!" We got the DVD before we even get our '01 membership badges...

    The Pace Car Comes With Barf Bags

    Hey Jon, You gonna pilot that pace car? Pontiac just won't let that sucker die will they? While they are at it, they should give everybody in the crowd a barf bag with AZTEC printed on it. A local Pontiac dealer here abouts even advertizes it as the "ugliest" SRV you will ever love! Now that's...

    94 RT/10 information

    Robert, Should be 9 1/2 Qts for engine, 1/2 qt for filter. The only factory approved synthetic oil is Mobil 1. The cooling fan seems to kick in at about 210+ by my gauge. Turning the A/C on (if you have A/C) will make the fan come on sooner. Where is Laupahoehoe, HI? Big Island? You've got...

    EARLY PREDICTION CORVETTE WINS ITS CLASS AT ROLEX 24 HOUR RACE

    With what is going on at Daimler Krysler right now, we may never see the Viper run in any factory backed racing format again. They are cutting back advertising by $600 mill, what do you think that will do? There will be 10 Dodges runing in NASCAR this month, there is where the bulk of the...

    DC lay off info/reply to Byron M

    I tried to post a reply here yesterday, but my computer said No! Let's look at the Big Picture here (forget about the union, although I have some mixed feelings about them too). Just look at what has happend to Chrysler since they had their "merger of equals" with Daimler. They went from...

    rolex 24

    What a difference factory sponsorship makes! I too hope the Viper was laying back, but I really doubt it. I realize there will be some help from the factory in one way or another, but I really think this will be the Vette's year. Were there any Saleen Mustangs out there practicing?

    Dissapointed Viper owner

    I think you guys and gals need to hold your comments on The 2003 Viper until you see it in person! I know you have heard this before, but the pictures really do not do it justice. I have seen it in the flesh at the Detroit Auto Show, and about the only thing missing on it that I think would be...

    Idle

    Brendan, Make sure that you are not reading the tach wrong, as idle speed is very easy to mis-read. If it is low, there is a way to speed it up a bit. I watched our Viper Tech take each throttle body off the engine, one at at time, and there is a small adjustment screw at the back end of the...

    Extended Warranty

    Doug, We bought our Chrysler extended warrantee from our local C/P dealer, and from the prices I have seen on the board over the last year, we got a great deal. I have used it for misc. stuff for repairs on our '94, and we went for the 100% coverage one, no deductible, and if I remember right...

    Battery Question

    Albert, You might want to try an old drag racing trick with your battery cables, and add a battery kill switch in the trunk. You can shut down the battery when you park the car in your garage. It will not let you use the alarm system though, as all battery power will be gone, but your battery...

    Low Mileage 94 - A few questions....

    Hi Ron, I saw your post earlier and did not think of this till now. We have a '94 and you have to remember one thing, the '94's did not use Mobil 1 or a synthetic oil, it was not required by Dodge at that time. Synthetic oil (Mobil 1) only came along in 95 or 96. I would check to see if the...

    why not much bump in Torque?

    I believe that there are essentially two ways to make torque from an engine: 1) High rpms (small block engines develop their max torque at higher rpms) 2) Longer stroke engines (Big block engines develop more torque at lower rpms because they have a longer stroke) You can add horsepower to an...

    VOI6 Photo/Movie CD's MAILED! / Our Viper is SOLD-Goodbye Viper owners

    Re: VOI6 Photo/Movie CD\'s MAILED! / Our Viper is SOLD-Goodbye Viper owners Layne and Liem, and Forrest too, Hate to see you leaving the Viper Nation, hope it's only temporary for ya! Just wish we would have been able to meet you both in St. Louis for VOI-6! Keep on posting here, nobody is...

    What I had heard about sidepipes, V-10...

    My '94 may sound like a UPS truck at idle, but stomp on it and the note changes quite a bit. Granted that I would like a gutsier (rumble) sound, but I had a 340 Six Pak Challenger, and that was loud as heck, but it did make a nice rapping sound. If I could get some of that back into the Viper...

    Pictures of the Connor Ave Assembly Plant Tour

    This one was really special too, as you get to see the "birthing room" where your Viper started life, how it developed, got its motive power, and took its first steps. Again, you own a hand built car, and until you see all the hand work that goes into it, you cannot really appreciate it fully...

    Pictures of the ASC Tour

    Here are some pictures of the ASC plant where the body panels for the Viper are made, painted, and finished. All this work is essentially done by hand, and you would not believe the finish work they do here. You really need to see this place in person in order to appreciate the finish work...

    Pictures of the Mound Road Engine Plant

    Here are some pictures of the Mound Road Engine Assembly plant. Remember, the Viper engine assembly area will be moving to CAAP very shortly, so they will have the engine work as well. I have to say that the workers at all the Viper assembly areas are extremely proud of their work. They take...

    Some pictures of the 2003 from yesterday

    Rich, This was a great weekend, the visits to ASC, CAAP and Mound Road Engine Plant, and the Walter P. Chrysler Museum were great, but you know what the best part was, meeting old friends and making new ones! It's the Viper that makes all that possible....Thanks again. I will be posting more...

    Some pictures of the 2003 from yesterday

    Here are a few pictures of the 2003 Viper. It is much better to see it in person than to go from the photos, everybody was saying the same thing about the GTS-R prototype last year, and then when they saw it a VOI-6, the views changed! Heres's another view! Check this one out too! Here...

    Smooth Tubes and Filters

    The clamps I got with my tubes were just the right length so as not to Hang over too much once tightened down, and they are the worm gear type and stainless steel. You can't use the original ones over, they are riveted to the factory tube assembly (wouldn't want to pop them off anyway). I'm...

    Tattoos

    Did you notice which foot Nadine has her tattoo on, the "Go" pedal foot, unless the "Go" pedal is reversed in the UK, or is it just the steering wheel? Go Nadine!

    Smooth Tubes and Filters

    OK, So I just installed new smooth tubes and filters on my '94. Am I going to get any "Check Engine" lights or whatever from this, or is this as easy as it seemed and no problems will be encountered. The whole thing took less than an hour, and it was very easy to do. the stock air filters...
