    Bugs have left marks in paint - anyone else?

    Vip-RT10, Rather than using Saran wrap, you can use a product called clear bra, which has been mentioned here. I don't know exactly where to purchase it but in may be in the archives. Matt

    Stock Stereo System: thumbs up/down?

    I think most people would say it is a bit lacking. However, being a fellow RT/10 owner, I would have to say it doesn't really bother me. I have headers and an aftermarket exhaust and the sound is just too sweet. It took me several weeks to even turn the radio on for the first time. I was going...

    anyone heard of Z06 rag top ?

    I believe Kid97GTS is correct about the ZO6 being a 2001 model. There is a customizer, Carravagio, who does make convertables and targas out of ZO6's, however, it sounds like this guy might be trying to pull one over on you given the year and such. Maybe he also just dropped in the LS6 and the...

    Hot to remove bug guts?

    What is recommended when Zaino wash or touchup just doesn't have the strength to remove bug guts or road tar? I use Meguire's Body Scrub on my other car. It works great but believe it may be too harsh for the Viper and it's purely Zaino finish. Any other options? Thanks, Matt

    FastFreddie, Very nice pictures. The car looks awesome. Did you put on a newer hood or did you have autoform modify you original? -Matt

    3 days old and motor bad - advice?

    Would the Lemon Law allow you to get a new car if yours is not up and running in 30 days? I don't know how they work. If that is the way it works, why try and expedite the rebuild? Let Arrow take their average 7 to 9 weeks. 30 days in call up the dealer and have them tow THEIR car back and give...

    Cost of Arrow rebuild

    Jon B., can you elaborate on your comment alluding to the fact that Arrow will not rebuild a motor out of warranty. What options are these owners left with? I hope it's not a $50K car with a dead motor. Thanks, Matt

    Sapphire blue w/tan vs Red w/black

    I'll be different and say Red with Black interior. Maybe even Red with Connely. I think the lighter/brighter colors help to enhance the curves and ducts of the Viper. They seem to get swallowed on the darker colors. Just like Black, I imagine the Saphire Blue will take a full time job to keep...

    Cost of Arrow rebuild

    What do you mean "which Arrow won't"? Are you saying that for gen 1 owners without warranty coverage, if they get a head gasket problem that ultimately requires a rebuild they are out of luck for getting a factory spec rebuild? Are they just going to have to find a tech capable of doing a...

    2003 compression

    I can't comment on the compression of the chapter 3 Viper, but I can tell you that I know several people running motors with 12:1 and 12.5:1 on 92 California gas and they are fine. Matt

    WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO SET OF WINDOWS?

    From others' experiences I think both sets are very good. The Northwind is good if you want a slider window with good visibility and some security as it has a lock. I have seen it mentioned once that the ease of sliding the window deteriorated, but most seem to be happy with them. Similarly...

    Newbie question on car insurance

    It all depends on you: your age, driving record, other cars insured. It seems a rough figure is about $100 a month. I've seen higher and I've seen lower, but you'll just have to call around and get some qoutes. I found that Nationwide had the best rates for me. Matt

    NEW TAKE ON A TRIED AND TRUE INTAKE........

    Don't you see a larger gain by just going to smooth tubes and K&N's? Does engine heat play a factor in this system since the air filters are no longer isolated from the engine compartment? This seems to be a more appearance-oriented mod? Matt

    Soundsystem Upgraded this Weekend in RT/10

I recieved information on DC Extended care warranties and a '93 with under 10K miles can still be covered even if purchased from a private party.

    Superchargers: Which are being used?

    How many supercharger kits do you think they sell for a Camaro/Mustang/Corvette, now how many for a Viper? The research and development cost has to be absorbed somewhere. It can be spread out alot more on the mass-produced brand x and y cars than it can on a Viper. These prices also include a...

    96 suspension vs. side pipes

    Sorry about any confusion regarding trying to retrofit the newer suspension. I didn't figure that was possible. I was refering to adding side pipes later. Thanks for the info. I'll do some more looking and see if I or the brokers can locate a Red '96 RT. It will probably be on par with trying...
