Thought I'd share my story on getting pulled over today by the police for no apparent reason - other than the fact that I was driving a Dodge Viper. :(

They're also selling a DVD of the show..

look at the first bulleted item on the site:
"Get an up-close look at a Dodge Viper with a supersonic powerplant"
What the heck??? I didn't see this on the show I watched. :(
My "Tivo-like" PC (Windows Media Center) recorded a History channel show called AutoManiac titled "Ridiculously Large Engines" and hosted by Bill Goldberg (of WCW wrestling fame). It was a pretty cool show. They showed the Tomahawk motorcycle and flashed to a Gen III Red Viper for "context" of...
Been meaning to thank Chuck Tator for a few weeks on the boards here.
I have an aftermarket gas cap from Autozone with a lock/key mechanism ever since I saw some 10 year olds playing with my gas cap lid. That was over 2 years ago and I've never had a problem with it.
Well, a few weeks ago I...
Damn, just looked at the link you provided. 8 points on my license! yikes!
Anyone recommend a good reputable traffic lawyer for the Brewster, NY area? That's where the court case is. or a website to look that info up?
Got hit with instant-on doing 98mph at 1:30am on I-684 in New York state (3 miles from my Danbury exit) coming back from the Yankees vs. Red Sox game. I was a little emotional after the game hence the fast driving.
Cop says to me "You've got a radar detector, don't you?"
I said "Yes sir"...
Every once in awhile while driving I smell something that smells electrical. At first I chalked it up to the truck in front of me. The next day I drove and didn't smell anything, but the following day my wife and I smelled it again.
It's not constant though which is very strange.
Looks like...
hmmmm. I just noticed UBB code for URLs don't work in my signature.
I see VCA member, WANTED, has a gallery pic URL in his signature.
for example, check out his post here...
They have an article listed the best & worst car names.
They list Corvette first, but I believe it was just because they are first alphabetically. Besides, for the news story, they used a Dodge Viper for the thumbnail image! :headbang:
Click herem then view the slide show...
Anyone catch this?
>>brought his bright yellow 2001 GTS to the show. The $80,000 car is powered by a 500 horsepower...
Wow! My comparable stock 2001 RT/10 just increased its HP from 450 to 500 and it's 2001 stock price new went from $70k to $80k... <sarcasm>
Either this Viper...
I've owned a Valentine1 for about 7 years and it has saved me countless times. It had certainly paid for itself many-fold. However, I have noticed over the past few years that cops have been doing a lot more "instant on" and I think they are reducing the power output on the radar gun.

>>Ah almost forgot Greg with the Red SRT 10........really sorry you got nailed with that NO FRONT PLATE ticket.
What, only Greg got a ticket for that? Was he on his way to the "meet location" when this happened? cuz it doesn't make sense if 9 Vipers in a convoy (most without front...
My 2001's window seals are cracked on both the driver side and passenger side, though the driver side is worse.
check out the photos to see what I mean:

Look right next to the flash for the crack
p.s. Chuck/Wizard - I too am going away for awhile - Miami on business. But I need...
>>Heh, my fiance has worries about getting her dress into the Viper. This proves that it can be done!
LOL!! Well, I'm glad I could help a fellow Viper brother...
>>I love the perplexed look on your wife's face as she tried to figure out how to get in...priceless!
Yeah, I should...
Yeah I know the pics are big. Sorry bout that.
the cameraman used a 6 megapixel camera, so the files are huge. I don't have Photoshop on my work PC or I'd try and scale it down or crop the edges.
Just saw a recent thread about Vipers and weddings. As well as using the Viper as a getaway vehicle... Well fellas, see it can be done!
What a gorgeous day it was - August 23rd in the Old Saybrook, CT area.
There are comments above each picture...
This is us walking around back of the...
>>One of the worse things is you feel dumb but dont let anybody else make you feel that way,good luck.
Thanks, that advice is well appreciated. I know the cardinal rule is never co-sign for a sibling - parents cosigning for their kid's first car is a different story.
>>I don't...
I have an interesting tale to tell that encompasses drug dealers checking out my Viper, armed robbery, drugs, and more.
I really need some help from my fellow Viper bretheren.
I unfortunately "inheirited" a 1997 Chrysler Sebring due to my brother's incompetence. I have been making payments...
Ahhh, fun with the neighbors... gotta love it. Wish I had some fun cars to play with myself...
The guy sounds like a [******] if he beats you once and then brags about it to everyone in your neighborhood.
Granted, I'd probably brag too if I was a non-Viper owner and beat a Viper.
But he...
Hmmm, seems to be working now.
I was looking for this thread: (Re: Opinions on exhaust note....Borla, Corsa, B&B??)

I was looking for a thread that I didn't start, but posted a reply to.
It looks like the search by "user name" feature ONLY displays posts that you started. If you reply to someone else's post, you have to find it manually. (considering how many new posts there are each day, I've had to look...
Quick question.
If I install a 185 degree thermostat will that require better cooling system (i.e. better aftermarket radiator) to reach the 185 degree temperature?
Or does the new thermostat just cause the fan to go on more often, thus keeping the engine cooler. Of course, while cruising...
They (2 guys) were passing Chatham light beach, license plate "VIP 1".
Was that anyone here?
They turned the corner and had to pass by my red snake about 1/4 mile down the road. Wish I ran and stopped them to check out the SRT-10 and ask how they liked it.
I can picture it now...
"Hey wait...
Checked out B&B's site for latest exhaust prices.
He ONLY lists products for 1996-1999 Vipers and nothing later. So no 2000-2002? :(

In fact he doesn't even list RT/10s only GTS. But that can't be right, I thought the undercarriage of the...
