    Any tips for closing the hood by yourself? ---

    Thats a good tip too , the a-hole mechanic at the dealership pulled up on my air intake scoop and the moldings almost broke off. He was checking to see if it latched. I like your method a LOT better!!! Atleast we dont have to worry about the hood flying up while we are driving and taking...

    Any tips for closing the hood by yourself? ---

    Thanks everyone ... I actually DID learn something. I was pushing BELOW the air intake duct ... about a foot width on either side. Now I know to push above it. Also, I think I hurry and dont go to BOTH sides up by the window to check for clearance. I will try the hand latch trick too ... I...

    Any tips for closing the hood by yourself? ---

    Seems like if I close the hood by myself I have to spend 10 minutes adjusting it after it latches to get the gaps where I like them (by doors, by headlights, and by front tires). When someone helps me it seems to go a lot smoother. Was wondering if you guys had any tips on where to push...

    Proud New Owner!

    WOW thats a lot of extra coin!!! Considering there is only 144 (108 without stripes) Red 2001 GTS's .... 360 red/white with a plaque doesnt seem that rare. Neat though, I love it when the cars are numbered like that!!! ---

    Some embroidery added to my seats

    What does something like that cost? Can they do it to your stock seat covers ... or do they have to fully custom out your seats? ---

    Viper didn't make it back today......

    Definately wasnt caused by the tune ;) ... I was thinking you would be pushing a ton of horsepower to do that to your transmission , wouldnt the rearend usually go first? Do you have super sticky tires? Maybe its the clutch, are you on the stock clutch? ------

    2001 Viper GTS Dyno Pull with minor bolt-ons :) (vid+pic of results) ---

    I was told that the gears take up a little more power to run when they are a higher ratio? I was also told that if you run 18" wheels ... then run 20" wheels ... if the total diameter with the tire is more , you lose horsepower and torque because they are harder to spin? Maybe I am just...

    Still tinkering with the interior!

    You have Lloyd mats ... I have a set of them in my car. I prefer them over the "big head" mats above, but those are nice too!!! Did you use the "touch up paint" brush-on, or just spray paint? ---

    Still tinkering with the interior!

    What did you use to paint the sills? I have a custom set in one of my other vehicles and was worried about just using "touch up paint" ... and thought it seemed like a pain in the butt to tape everything off good enough. ---

    2001 Viper GTS Dyno Pull with minor bolt-ons :) (vid+pic of results) ---

    Thanks guys. I would rather run a tad rich and be safe ... I'm not going for all out HP ... but between the richness, the 3.73, and the 20" wheels I would be putting down a few more horses :) ---

    Hood Heat Shield Missing?

    Mine doesnt have one either (2001), and I was going to ask that question too ... my guess is there isnt supposed to be one. Why, I am not too sure ---

    Noob Question about the hood "speaker grilles" hahah ---

    The water entering the engine bay would be the only reason I wouldnt mess with cutting a hole in the hood. I will check out that writeup above to see if they had a solution to this :) Where does the stock drain hole let the water go? I bet it freaks a lot of people out cutting into...
