    What's a good price to pay for a GTS service manual ??

    Re: What\'s a good price to pay for a GTS service manual ?? Absolutely, positively no more than $25.00 (the fact that I'm currently high bidder for one at that price has nothing to do with it, LOL!).

    Just passed NJ Inspection (4 Firsts to report)

    Just took the GTS yesterday to emissions. Two years ago they took one look at the RT/10, and waived it from inspection with no problem. Yesterday they did the same thing for the GTS -- No Treadmill, No Test, No Fee, No waiting in the hour long line (12-15 cars waiting, one test lane open). I...

    Is your Viper a KEEPER?

    When I first bought my 96 White RT/10 five years ago, I was sure it would be with me for a lifetime, and then handed down to my son, and so on. That changed for me when I saw the Silver/Blue GTS on a Viper video. I realized I would give up the RT/10 for that one. This past spring I found one...

    Fueling Fire: CAUTION

    Here is the car that JonB is referencing. Owner (at his request) will remain confidential until insurance settles. I know I'll never leave the fuel nozzle unattended again. Scary!

    yellowing side sills.. covered under warranty?

    I had yellowing on driver's side side sill of my 96 White RT/10. As soon as my dealer saw it, he ordered replacements for both sides. By replacing instead of repainting, I got rid of the rivets Dodge used as they had a tendancy to rust. This was done under original factory warranty. I don't...

    Ok Guys GTS VS RT

    I'm 6'3", have one of each (RT/10 & GTS), and have no problem with head room in either one. If you go with the GTS, you may want to remove the visor if you find it obstructs your view.

    Keeping white wheels clean!? Brake dust :(

    I switched to Bendix Pads, the squealing stopped, and the brake dust dramatically reduced. Brake dust is now less than 1/4 of what the stock pads generated. I got them from a friend who owns a Meinecke muffler shop for about $100 front and rear (pads only, not installation). Hope this helps.

    Hey Autoform, me thinks you have a virus!

    I've gotten at least four Emails from Autoform today with a virus attachment - the one that says "I send you this file to get your advice". I'm sure they are not aware that this is happening as this virus propogates through the address book without the user even knowing it. I assume my Email...

    Vipers Exempt From State Emissions at Bel Air, MD

    Mark - What happened to you at the MD Emissions is what most of us have experienced. For MD Viper owners do not let them put your car on the "treadmill". I know both the Owings Mills and the Bel Air Locations will give you waivers, and there should be no charge.

    5pt Harness Installation Question

    With Andy Levitt's Cookbook for 5pt Harness in hand, I'm ready to install my new Simpson belts this weekend. Does anyone know if and where I can purchase grommets or trim rings that would "dress up" the holes that the shoulder belts go through in the rear bulkhead. I'm not sure but there may...

    Who had the BF Goodrich Slicks for sale?

    A while back someone posted a message about buying out discontinued inventory on road slicks, I think R1's by BF Goodrich. Does anyone know who it was? I'd like to contact him to see if he has any inventory left. I tried a "search", and turned up nothing. Thanks in advance.

    WOW! We saw Biff's new hardtop yesterday., Details within.

    WOW! We saw Biff\'s new hardtop yesterday., Details within. Saturday, the VA/MD region conducted a tech yesterday at Heffner's Performance Shop, and Biff showed up with his new hardtop, and "stole the show!". His top is absolutely gorgeous, and installs on all Gen1 RT/10's in minutes. That's...
