    You really don't want cruise ...

    Not that big of a deal. Toyota's do this even without the cruse control on!

    Spark Plug Change - Any Secrets?

    If you get the Mopar low resistance wires you may get more spark but will get a crackle on the radio/CD player at low RPM. Sounds good with the NGR.

    Check the fit if you go Optima. Did not fit in my 97 GTS. Happy with Sears Diehard Gold.

    Dodge Viper Most Expensive Car To Maintain??

    What kind of maintanence on a 2008 could cost over 8000 in 5 years?? Are yearly head gasket changes part of routine maintanence?? Things must have changed since 1997... Isn't 8000 about the cost of brake pads and an oil change in an Enzo?

    Date the Last 1997 Viper was built! July??

    My build was 11/97. You are not the last but old enough to need to check your intake manfold gaskets. Mine had the newer ones but I think a 7/97 will have the older style prone to leaking.

    97 GTS difficult to engage 6 gear?

    Try shifting from 4th to 6th and see if it is any easier. Mine had the same problem with a 5-6 shift but was fine 4-6. I think if was a worn syncro. Transmission was replaced under warranty.

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    I think the problem was going from a car with 276ft-lbs of torque (F360) to one with 675ft-lbs. With less than 1/2 (probably 1/3 at lower rpms) the torque it seems it would be hard to get into trouble with the Ferrari accelerating in a straight line even without T/C, ESC, etc.

    Driving in the rain

    I love to watch the wipers in the rain though with the rake of the windshield makes them almost unneccessary on the freeway. Reminds me of watching the LeMans race cars running in the rain.

    Nads sub 10

    When I saw the title of your thread I thought you had put a 10" sub in your car. I almost choked on my meal and wondered what is the world coming to!! When I read the thread I realized what you meant. Congratulations and glad to hear you haven't gone soft. :)

    Installed ROE fan control

    If I remember right, I just drilled a hole a little larger than the probe in the fan shroud to get it through. Just be sure you don't drill into the radiator!!

    Fuel Filter access?

    It helps if you like the taste of gas. It is a royal pain. I don't think I am ever going to do mine again.... It is not hard but can be very frustrating and time consuming.
