    1999 RT-10 Winter Refurbishment and upgrade

    Fangs 10 Thanks for the post. I like the shot in your avatar. The stock car without stripes is awesome, but something about adding a little special touch to them sets them apart. I am expecting that the stripes will give me another 5 mph top end too (just kidding).

    1999 RT-10 Winter Refurbishment and upgrade

    5 years ago I finally got the car I had lusted for since 1989. I bought a black 1999 RT-10 from Ray Agen in Anchorage. I anxiously awaited its arrival and as soon as I got it I started to think about things to change. I use the car as a dry day daily driver here so I tend to put miles on it...

    VOI 12 will be held in Charlotte NC

    I saw in the Viper National Forum that the VOI 12 is going to be held in Charlotte NC on September 27-30. They have Lowe's Moptor Speedway near there and as usual there are a lot of events planned. I am planning to drive there in conjunction with some other travel, including a drive up Pikes...

    Voi 12 announced!!

    That sounds like a great venue. It happens to be about 3,000 each way from here, but I guess I will get a nice scenic drive and get to visit some other nice areas on the way. I have a "bucket list" item to drive the Viper up Pikes Peak, so this should be my big chance. As far as putting miles on...

    Throw up pics of your Personalized Viper License Plates

    Re: Viper Plate Nothing too clever, but I enjoy it.

    NEED HELP!!! Viper is accelerating on its own...

    Did you check to see if the floormat may have slid forward and jammed the throttle?

    Get ready you track rats

    Here is a link showing a 2011 Corvette Z06 running some hot laps on the Ridge Motorsports Track on November 6th. It looks like it is going to be a nice fast track. The corkscrew looks like a lot of fun. They said he hit 150 on the straight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u5xmS6nL8I I hope this...

    Got My Rear Wing Put on At Chuck's! Yay! (Pics)

    Jon B suggested that I try it in natural carbon fiber with the black car. It is dark enough that it seems to blend in nicely. I also like the pattern when the sun shines on it ( a rare occurence in the northwest). I appreciate your thoughts on it.

    Got My Rear Wing Put on At Chuck's! Yay! (Pics)

    I like the look and how it changes the rear end appearance. I recently bought a carbon fiber rear spoiler from Jon B and so far I have left it in the carbon fiber color on my black 99 RT-10. I think I will leave it natural for now. I can always paint it later.

    Get ready you track rats

    I have been following the progress. It looks great with the paving. They mentionedd they will be having some events this fall/winter. I am only an hour away and I am ready to go. We are very lucky to have a nice new road course so close. I am hoping it won't be too expensive to run there.

    ACR fog light cover HELP!!

    I have a 1999 which has no plastic covers and a bad reputation for breaking. I bought a set of 40 mil clear Laminex film covers which I stuck on the glass and I have yet to crack one. They are at www.lamin-x-com .

    First track day at Portland International Raceway!

    I have about 10 track days so far, but I now have the bug and I will be running more often next year. They will be opening a new 2 mile road course in Shelton, WA, about an hour from where I live and I am hoping to get to run there a lot next year. I am not going fast enough yet to need more...

    First track day at Portland International Raceway!

    You are right, the mods are very similar. I like the look of your CCW wheels. I am running a set of stock wheels and Kuhmo V-700 tires with 305-18 on the fronts and 335-18 on the rear. I also use the SRF brake fluid, but I still have have stock rotors and calipers. I also want to eventually do...

    First track day at Portland International Raceway!

    I went to the Cascade HPDE in 2008 with encouragement from Jon B and loved it. That is a great track to learn on. I also got a ride with Jon and it showed just how fast a person could go around that track. Since then I have become a beginning track rat and I am equipping my RT-10 with 6 point...

    Mach 7 Motorsports Trunk Top

    I was lucky to get mine used for $1.000 from a local Viper owner. It may be that he didn't like the fits either. I have fiddled witih adjustments and made it a little better, but they just don't seem to adjust enough to get the fit exactly right. I was also unable to get a lot of information...

    Mach 7 Motorsports Trunk Top

    If the Mach 7 is like the 3 piece removable top I have on my 1999 RT-10 then perhaps I can help out. I bought mine used off Craig's List a couple of years ago and I have come up with an easy method of installing it. I gave up using the studs as they were a big bother. To install the 3 piece top...

    It was a great party and a very nice turnout of cars. Thanks again for a great day. Here are some pictures I got of the cars.

    Griot's Garage

    That picture is of my car. From my testimonial you woulodthink I am 88 years old because I have detailed cars for 51 years. I really did start in high school and somehow just enjoy shining up cars. I seem to be an unofficial salesman for Griot's now. Perrhaps I should ask for a special pricing...

    WA State VCA - XXX ROOTBEER?

    Amigo, I am planning to come on the 15th also. I need to get my yearly Krispy Kreme fix.

    OK... So I need to know how bad are viper really.

    I live in the Seattle area and my car is pretty much a daily driver with 80,000 miles on it. I prefer to drive it on dry days only, but I have been caught in big rainstorms and as long as I was careful on the throttle it did fine. I will take it out on some wet days and the only reason I don't...

    Get Together after Dyno Day

    I was pleased to hear that Dyno Days will be taking place in Bremerton, almost in my backyard. Max RPM is a nice place and it should be a great chance to check out our cars again, especially if you have made any modifications over the winter. I am also curious to see a certain Dodge SRT-10...

    April 3rd. Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Car Show @ Pacific Raceways, WA

    A great April Fools Joke

    This morning I got an email from Griot's Garage who make detailing products. They currently make all sorts of waxes etc as well as a 3 inch and a 6 inch random orbital buffer. Their ad today introduces a new 1 inch buffer for small areas, polishing eyeglasses and coins. It is priced at $41.11...

    What A Day For A Drive!

    We had a nice early half to the day today so I took my 1999 RT-10 out for a nice run to get the cowbwebs out prior to a track day on Sunday. I was also able to roll over to 80,000 miles on the odometer.
