5th belt through seat cushion installation pic
Jon, we've heard about differences in the install on RT's vs GTS's. We haven't done an RT yet but we hope to soon - we're looking for a car to do to check for any differences. If so, we'll update the instructions as needed...- Henry Cone

5th belt through seat cushion installation pic
Kevin, we have not seen any problems with the eye bolts interfering with the travel of the seat. We have used the eye bolts on 4 different GTS coupe TeamTech installations now and not had any problems. And since the eye bolt threads into a special thread insert built into the frame I don't...- Henry Cone

brake and clutch fluid
Steve, you might want to rethink that. I wouldn't recommend 5 years for any fluids in any car, much less a Viper!! Fluid changes, particularly brake fluid, is cheap insurance...- Henry Cone

How do you tell the difference between the forged and cast 17" 5 spoke wheels?
Re: How do you tell the difference between the forged and cast 17\" 5 spoke wheels? Be careful about assuming that if you have a '97 or later that you have forged wheels instead of cast ones. I have personally inspected 97's that had cast wheels on them. And they weren't painted ones, either...- Henry Cone

Attaching 5 point belts???
Greg, as others have mentioned there is an anchor point built into the floor. You can probe with a sharp object like a pin to find it. The better solution is 6 points instead of 5 points. They hold you in place much better in a stock seat. The 5 points are fine wiht a race seat but 6 points...- Henry Cone

Carolina Motor Sports Kershaw, SC
Sam, I ran a Viper Days event at Kershaw last year. The track is a lot of fun and actually pretty safe. It is tough on brakes though so be prepared for that. It was my first real Viper Days event so it's tough to compare it to other tracks now...- Henry Cone

assistance with CARFAX info please ?
Hmmm, I'm guessing a car rented out of an exotic car rental operation.... We've come across some really scary cars available in Florida or which were once in Florida. Don't be afraid to look beyond local cars to get the right car. VCA members can arrange to do a first pass inspection of a car...- Henry Cone

Watkins Glen Intern'l Speedway for the Unfamiliar
Re: Watkins Glen Intern\'l Speedway for the Unfamiliar Bruce, Janni and I can hardly wait to put in some hot laps at this very historic track. Just think - we'll be running our Vipers on the same track that was used by F-1 cars in the past. I've dreamed about running "The Glen" but never...- Henry Cone

WAY TO GO JOHN FERNANDEZ
John, congrats on the 2nd place finish. It was a great result, particularly given the conditions. And a fastest lap of 1:51.260 isn't shabby either, particularly in a Neon!! As Gary said, that's faster that some of the Vipers at the Mid-Ohio Viper Days event. Congrats again!!!- Henry Cone

What kind of 5 points do you have?
I will second JonB's recommendation of Team Tech's. They are simply the best harnesses out there. In particular the sternum strap that they include makes the harnesses much better able to prevent more serious chest injury in a significant impact. Unforunately I have seen several instances...- Henry Cone

Track Suspension Setup Considerations......
Okay, I thought I would bring this thread back to the top with a question. In prepping our cars for Putnam Park we were checking the tires for their wear pattern. The cars were last run at VIR so the wear pattern reflects running there. Anyway to my question - it appears from the wear pattern...- Henry Cone

We use bottled nitrogen to fill all of our tires. I went to my local welding supply company and bought a cylinder, cylinder cart, regulator, and hose. We wheel it into the trailer and strap it to the walls for traveling. The obvious advantage of nitrogen is less pressure change with...- Henry Cone
