Recall or not to recall...that is the question
You should definitely have the recall done. If you are thinking of not doing it because you are worried about how they will treat your car YOU ARE TAKING IT TO THE WRONG DEALERSHIP!!!! You should find a Viper tech who you can trust with your car and build a relationship with him. This way you...- Henry Cone

Viper Recall #998 and #999 - READ BEFORE YOU GO TO THE DEALER
We took time this afternoon to look closely at one of our 2 1996 GTS's. We did this to see if it was possible to inspect the areas of concern without too much trouble and without removing the differential. The steering rack welds are easy to see and inspect carefully even without a lift. We...- Henry Cone

Paging all track guys...brake question
Chuck, StopTech modifies the bias between the front and the rear by changing the piston diameters from stock. More specifically, they use a smaller than stock front piston size to reduce the stock too heavy front bias. So as long as your front caliper piston diameters are the same as the ones...- Henry Cone

Guys! I need your help with my 5 points

5 point belts. Team Tech Schroth Simpson RJS or?>>>>
We use the lap belt anchor points for the anti-sub straps. This works very with our TeamTechs. And yes, the idea is to restrain the upper leg bones (and thus the pelvis) as best as possible. Amazingly enough one of the biggest reasons for using 6 points is that they reduce the amount of head...- Henry Cone

more info on recall 998 & 999
Just to make sure that it is 100% clear - 998 IS ONLY A BIG DEAL IF YOU HAVE WELD CRACKS!!! Don't panic if your car build date indicates that 998 applies to it - if you read through all of the information on the other thread 998 involoves inspection for cracks before any work is done. Only if...- Henry Cone

Viper Recall #998 and #999 - READ BEFORE YOU GO TO THE DEALER
In response to the question raised as to whether or not it is possible to inspect the differential mounts for cracks without removing the differential - I believe that it IS possible to do so. Though this is tougher to do than the steering rack mount in the front I believe that a thorough...- Henry Cone

5 point belts. Team Tech Schroth Simpson RJS or?>>>>
Marv, No contest in my mind. The TeamTech's are the safest by far - the sternum strap prevents hyperextension of the chest and ribs between the shoulder straps in a hard collision. But it shouldn't come as a surprise that we are big fans of the TeamTechs. More important is the question of 6...- Henry Cone

Need Opinion on 97 GTS I am Thinking About - was a rental
Bob, Dodge did offer a kit to install a passenger side cut off switch for the air bag. It was available for 96+ coupes and 97+ RT/10's that did not come from the factory with the switch. If it is still available I do not believe that it was very expensive..- Henry Cone

Why We Use Forgeline 5 Spoke Wheels - Long
Some of you may have seen our 2 '96 GTS's at Viper Days events. If you have you may have noticed that we use Forgeline 5 spoke wheels on both of our cars. And if any of your really know me there are very specific reasons for our choice. First of all, our wheels are race wheels with looks...- Henry Cone

Question on dimensions for exhaust
Keith, unfortunately the exhaust manifold collector mates to the primary pipe (that has the flex joint in it) with a rather unique flange and clamp set up. Basically each piece has a round flange on it. The 2 flanges are clamped together with a special clamp that has an inverted V cross...- Henry Cone

Dyno Strap Down Question?
Ron, we tie our Vipers down on the dyno with the same R hooks that we use for tying the cars down in our trailer. The R hooks fit into reinforced slots in the frame that are designed to tie the car down for transporting. We have seen no damage in many miles of towing and no damage from...- Henry Cone

Which is a better road race tire MXXX or sport Pilots???
Ron, Janni and I run MXX3's. We have been hoarding them (and storing them carefully) as we believe that they are a better dry track tire than the Pilot Sport. Again it is important to get ones that were stored correctly as otherwise they might not be as good as new Pilot's. And remember that...- Henry Cone

Anti-lock brakes
The big advantage of the ABS brakes is the optimized front to rear proportioning. A non-ABS Viper is very heavily front brake biased - so much so that braking distances suffer substantially. Dodge did this to insure that the front brakes always locked up first, no matter what the conditions...- Henry Cone

Weights of Various 13" Front Brake Rotors
Weights of Various 13\" Front Brake Rotors As you may we aware we run our 2 '96 GTS's in Super Stock class in Viper Days. In staying in Super Stock we are very limited in the mods that we can make.

Creampuff? I don't think so!
Re: Creampuff? I don\'t think so! I agree that we had very few totally stock cars at our Carolinas Region Dyno Day.
