    Towing Viper on this Trailer Question

    From the approach angle in the pictures, I don't think you'd be able to get your car on that single axle trailer anyway. If you did get it on, the fenders are so high, you'd have to climb out the window because you wouldn't be able to get the door open. Once out, how would you get the windows...

    #209 Ready to Hit The Road

    285 built in '92, and, I believe, the only year that the Vipers were built in VIN sequence (maybe with the exception of the '98 GT2's).

    '96 CS Edition

    Having seen other Vipers from Fitzgerald, I bet it was a 3.73.

    How Stupid Is This??

    That guy's action is a direct reflection on the dealership. If they don't do anything about him, they are just as much at fault.

    RT vs GTS, Maybe Open Air Isn't All Its Cracked Up to Be!

    Couldn't disagree more. Of course, the RT/10 is the original Viper (I've owned two), but in no way is the GTS "questioned". It's the GTS that's picked by the kids in all the XBOX and PlayStation games as the Viper of choice. And, one day, those future adults will remember the GTS as an...

    Ok Joe, see you there! I'm really looking forward to this year's crab feast cruise. Between my hip surgery, and the demands of my business, I haven't been able to attend many events in the past year, and it will be great to see familiar faces, and meet new members. I was hoping to go to the...

    We have two starting points, one on the southside of the DC beltway, and one on the north side of the Baltimore Beltway. Those two caravans meet in Annapolis along with many others who go straight to the Annapolis meeting point, and still a few others go straight to the Crab Deck. I've tried a...

    Comments on GEICO

    I've always had the total package with Nationwide, home, cars, umbrella, business, etc. A couple of years ago I called Geico to get a quote on the Vipers. They were half, so I moved the Vipers to Geico, but kept everything else with Nationwide, because Geico couldn't compete with the other...

    Craigslist Viper right in my hometown

    This has got to be a joke!

    Crab Feast Cruise reservation forms have been mailed.

    It's Chevys Fresh Mex Restaurant on Solomons Island Rd in Annapolis. A doctor, and former VCA member is part owner, and was kind enough to arrange for us to use their parking lot for an hour or so while the caravans converge there. It will all be in the itinerary, along with times, that I send...

    No Vipers on TV Racing?

    It looks like Directv, and Comcast have finally come to an agreement, I just checked, and now get Versus on my Directv - Channel 603. So, I'll be able to watch the races, afterall.

    Open Trailer - Steel or Aluminum, which way to go?

    Ok, decision made, and trailer ordered. I went with an R&R all aluminum 18' car hauler. I upgraded the stock ramps (12" x 72") to 16" x 82" so my cars should go up no problem. The ramps also double as a rock guard so the upgraded ramps will also give me a little extra protection. I'm heading...

    431 Mile Gen I

    Lot No. 219: 1995 Dodge Viper SRT Wow, this must be a very unique car since it's model year was about 6 years before the SRT division of Dodge was formed. It's sad when car guys can't even get the title description correct.

    Good place to mount tires in Fredericksburg VA area.

    That's good information for us living in the greater Baltimore area.

    Open Trailer - Steel or Aluminum, which way to go?

    Thanks for the feedback. My trailer will be multi-use, and both trailers, aluminum or steel, I'm looking at have full decks and stone guards, not just runways. The aluminum one with 7' (17" wide) ramps are stowed in front and serve as the stone guard. Right now, I'm leaning towards aluminum.

    Open Trailer - Steel or Aluminum, which way to go?

    :dunno: I just sold my open trailer, an IW Challenger, and am now in the market for another. I am looking at two that are identically priced: a steel 20' rollback made by American Rollback, or an 18' aluminum one, beaver tail with 7' ramps made by J&F Trailers. Both mfg's are in Ohio. I've...

    The only thing better than my 2001 ACR is.....

    Congratulations Kelly, dreams do come true! Did you keep the GTS?
  25. Gus Strakes

    So do GTS's get more attention than SRT's?

    I have both, and it's about the same.
