    Forgive me for wandering from the original thread topic here, and again if this has already been addressed a dozen times elsewhere... but, has there been any indication of possible colors for the 2003, or will it be red, red or red? Thanks

    Swirl Marks :(

    I use only Fieldcrest or Cannon towels as well, however you can get their top of the line towels through a discounted factory outlet via the internet. These are "seconds" with minor stiching issues etc., but your going to cut them up anyway right? Here's the link...

    Tire Manufacture Date

    Just picked up a set of new Pilot Sports today while waiting for the HRE's to arrive. Just curious, someone posted a thread here sometime ago stating that the tire manufacture date is stamped into the tire. I looked all over these "meats" and couldn't find it. Is it a code of some sort or am I...

    Show me your side splitters

    John Johns, I think I emailed you pics of my body color side splitters from PartsRack a while back. I also have pics of them before they were painted...brushed aluminum finish and on the car. I think they look nice either way, but I also think they tend to widen the appearence of the car at the...

    What is the official name for the blue Viper color?

    Ron is correct, the additional upcharge was for the GTS with stripes... of course in '96 and '97 I believe a "Viper Blue" GTS was only available with stripes.

    What is the official name for the blue Viper color?

    Actually Matt, the "pearl" is the metallic/iridescent content of the base paint which gives it that purpleish blue appearence in sun light (and after Zaino). The color coat itself will look completely dull unless you apply the polyurethane clearcoat.

    Who here put on Sean Roe's clutch linkage?--need advice

    Re: Who here put on Sean Roe\'s clutch linkage?--need advice I must say that after installing mine, I was somewhat dissappointed that the clutch pedal was still a good bit higher than my brake pedal. I had expected that it would bring them to an even position, but the clutch is still a good...

    Brakes upgrade question

    It's great to be able to read some of these responses on this subject from the people who really know of what they speak. I guess after reading this however I was a bit confused and have a question... Not considering the financial aspects, is there a benefit to utilizing an upgraded or big brake...

    What triggered you to buy your first Viper? What was it?

    Saw my first one when I was working in Dhahran Saudi Arabia. It was a red '94 RT/10. We were going to lunch and it was parked at the curb outside one of the local markets... It was an amazing car, because you got used to seeing Mercedes and other higher end vehicles but this was the first Viper...

    VEC1 - Sean Roe

    This brings up a question that I was planning on calling Sean about next week. I have the VEC1 (nice product)and also occaisionally run the BTR Nitrous set-up. Since the more optimum settings on the VEC1 tend to lean out the air/fuel ratio I believe you would need to set the VEC1 back to at...

    Front splitters and rear wings?

    Matt P., the purpose of the side splitters is... uhmm, well they look really cool! Actually, they act as a large radiator fin that cools the side sills 100 - 200 degrees... okay, that's not true either, but after the stories about the headlight thingies I could sell that story! I believe the...

    Front splitters and rear wings?

    I have the GTS chin splitter from Autoform on my '97... very nice piece, looks better if you paint the lexan attachment plates to match your car's color. I also just finished rubbing out and re-mounting the PartsRack side splitters tonight. After running them for awhile in the brushed aluminum...

    Something for you brake bleedin' crazies out there

    Re: Something for you brake bleedin\' crazies out there I've been using the Speedbleeder one-way screw in bleeder fittings for sometime now... they seem to work great with a few pumps of the brake pedal all air is expelled. And at about $7-$8 a piece they're cheap and hassle free. I am curious...

    B&M Ripper Shifter Shattered!

    YES... Mine did the same thing. You probably have an older version that was brazed at the shifter arm joint. Call B&M, they will replace it free of charge with a newer type. One benefit is the newer design doesn't have the shift adjustment screws. Therefore you (or your installer) will find it...

    Storage questions

    Don't forget to change your oil prior to putting her away for the Winter. The contaminants in the oil are corrosive and can damage your engine over long periods of time.

    Why do you like stripes vs no stripes on your Viper?

    In the animal kingdom it's the added colors or stripes that signify the male of the species... Stripes of course!
