    1967 Viper

    Looks too posh for a Viper to me, especially in the 60's. I always thought this car was the closest to a 60's Viper: Cheetah

    Just drove down Hwy 10 from Ontario to Palm Springs Tuesday night and am gong back today..(unfortunately in a rental car, a complete piece of junk Toyota Yaris).

    no heat from front vents but from the vents on the windshield?

    That's it. Couldn't get my cheap point and shoot to focus on the compressor from under the car and get the flash to illuninate it. Also, didn't take as many as I would have it I had known it would work... :smirk:

    no heat from front vents but from the vents on the windshield?

    no heat from front vents but from the vents on the windshield?

    I can tell you why mine didn't for about a year. Because I didn't realize that 3$ worth of o-rings and 25 minutes of my time would fix it. Works great now...

    For those who drive HARD, how many have spun their Vipers??

Never left the track. I looked over at my instructor, expecting a thrashing. He turned to me and calmly said "pass...

    Neutral Gear rattle/Oil pan gasket=HELP!!!

    When I had my transmission replaced it came with the newer gear oil and the NGR disappeared. I actually miss it as it went well with the lumpy cam.

    Weight: Gen 1 vs. Gen 2???

    Swapping brakes, tools, tips, and tricks?

    Tom, Did you ever come up with a rear upgrade that worked well with the StopTech front setup? I remember you working on it a while ago.
