    How can you RT/10 guys stand "top-less" speeds over 120 mph?

    Re: How can you RT/10 guys stand Buried needle in my 95 Venom 600 in AZ once...passenger wasn't very thrilled. Top off, V Mania windows installed. One fog light cover lost, went over my car and also just barely over Russ Iverson's car behind me (his RT/10 top was off also, and his windows...

    I need a viper... but I have a couple questions

    Re: I need a viper... but I have a couple questions A bit of a slide from this thread, but the most attention-getting car I ever owned was a '71 Challenger convertible, cloned into an R/T (no R/T convertibles in '71, just in '70). VERY healthy 440 w/915 heads, 509 cam, etc., 727, rallye hood...

    Is this a fair price?

    That same color combo around here (Tidewater, VA), same year, only 3K miles, recently sold for $48K. Wholesale dealer-to-dealer. Unusually low price even wholesale, but that was back in the early spring when the seasonal low was a factor, plus the glut of Vipers on the market due to SRT-10...

    Supercharged Venom 650R

    Ask Lee Dove about at least one of the Venom cars, which I sold him: 95 RT/10, Venom 600 #019. 514 stroker, dyno'd last year at 549 RWHP and over 580 RW TQ. On Kumhos with 3.54 gear, he's run 11.24 (at 128 or 129). With n2o he's run 10.68 on that tire/gear combo (at 132 or 134...can't...

    Dropping from third gear into second - What can you get away with?

    Paolo - Why am I hitting only 314 MPH at 6200 in 6th? Too many burnouts? ;)

    Viper Days - a MUST DO Experience!

    I took my silver 99 GTS coupe to the event. I think I had the only silver GTS there. Were you and your dad by any chance near the bridge sitting on the bleachers? I drove to the bridge with a friend in his Grand Cherokee to shoot some video at that site, and I talked to a man about Viper...

    Viper Days - a MUST DO Experience!

    I attended my first Viper Days event this past weekend. There isn't enough bandwidth on this site for me to rave about the fantastic time I had there! Many thanks to Skip Thomas and crew, Michelin, the two Archer operations, VIR, and all the sponsors I'm omitting because I spent too much time...

    What cars came with the full Conoly interior?

    My '99 GTS is silver with Connolly. Weird color combo. 1 of 22 I think. I wanted to trade it for an RT/10, but after the past three days at ViperDays, I think it's a keeper. Car ran 110% w/48K miles on the clock (first time ever on road course), and broke NOTHING. I love that car. Will...

    DUMP CLUTCH AT 5,000 RPMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Nobody typed a word about the $hitty build quality of Brit cars, maybe since we Americans love the Brits and are disappointed with our other allies the Germans and the French. Just something to think about. How well will a Lotus hold up to day after day of punishing "everyday" driving? Not to...

    How will SRT's hold their value?

    Re: How will SRT\'s hold their value? I just sold a friend's SRT-10 for high 80s. It will be interesting indeed to see what the '03 prices are by the end of the year.

    Hate to see a Viper go for less than 30k

    HeII, I got more than that for a rebuilt wreck... But mine had character. Yellow, you see.

    Low trap speeds, but boy am I CONSISTENT!

    You're just a few test 'n tune runs from the 11s, amigo. Yeah the trap speed seems low based on the HP the car makes, but we saw the same thing with the SRT's at Englishtown last month. We need some documented 60MPH rolls between Gen II and Gen II cars!

    Title Wash Warning

    Bonkers - Nowhere does it say in that ad that the title will be washed. It simply states the car can be "registered the same way as a clear one." For example, in Virginia, the title would be branded "salvage rebuilt," and is a negotiable title. The "salvage rebuilt" brand is simply a...

    Talk about price gouging!!

    I won't buy a new one (depreciation), but I STRONGLY support those who do! Otherwise, we wouldn't have Vipers. So, here's to those who buy new Vipers - hip hip hooray! You folks are why we have these cars. Thanks.

    How many Vipers are in your state?

    I once had a black 95 (was modd'd to Venom 600 #019, and silver stripes were added). I bought it from SW in TX. It was sold new at Graceland Dodge in Memphis. Thus, I called it "Black Elvis." Lee Dove painted it yellow, as it was far too fast to be any other color.

    Currently: grass clippings, weeds, mud. Too much rain around here...

    When will the SRT-10 coupe be out?

    Lost to a Mustang........I'm so ashamed

    Re: Lost to a Mustang........I\'m so ashamed I saw a dyno sheet on a S/C Cobra that had only some aftermarket air filter, a chip, and a pulley. 448 rwhp. Dyno'd at Abacus Racing in Norfolk, VA. Hey...that's stock SRT-10 territory. Makes me happy. It's good to know there's still an American...

    What if C6 Z06 has over 500HP...would sell the Viper?

    Oh, no...another "Chevy" sort of thread... Autocrossed today with Bugeater and a couple of other buds. Vipermad was along for logistical/video/moral support. Serious autocrossers there, and then we, the novices. I invited two excellent, highly experienced drivers to drive my GTS. Neither...
