    96 suspension vs. side pipes

    I have two brokers/dealers trying to locate a '95 Red/Tan RT/10 for me and this is not proving to be an easy task. I really want a side pipe car but prefer the Tan or Black interior. My question: Is the '96 suspension upgrade worth giving up the sidepipes and how much would it cost to add...

    Do '95 Vipers have the head gasket problem?

    Re: Do \'95 Vipers have the head gasket problem? I wouldn't mind hearing the answer to Keith's question either. It may be that statistically, the ones who have had problems are louder. I agree that a head gasket replacement after seven years of hard driving is probably not unreasonable...

    Do '95 Vipers have the head gasket problem?

    Re: Do \'95 Vipers have the head gasket problem? That was the impression I was under. In a post a few weeks back there was mention of gasket improvements for the '95 model year. Any idea where those might be? Matt

    It's here! It's here!

    Re: It\'s here! It\'s here! Do you mind if I ask you what you are planning to do regarding smog checks with the Belanger exhaust? I'm in CA also, and figured I may be limited to an Edelbrock/Borla combo. Congrats on the beautiful RT/10. Matt

    Do '95 Vipers have the head gasket problem?

    Do \'95 Vipers have the head gasket problem? I was wondering if the '95 RT/10's had the same problem as the earlier models where the cylinder liners shift, breaking the head gasket? In a post last week Jon B mentioned that the '95's had some gasket improvements and I wanted to know if this was...

    Buying first Viper??

    Jon, Would those annoying gasket problems which were solved for the '95's include the head gaskets? It'd be nice not to have to worry about those going every 20K miles. Matt

    Im looking for a hard top made by TGF

    I'm pretty sure Jeff's is an NWE hardtop, but that may be very similar to the TGF top since I've never seen one before. Willaim, if you do get a pic I would be interested in having a look at it. If all else fails, I'll find a friend who owns the Nutty Professor on video. Thanks, Matt

    Im looking for a hard top made by TGF

    Do you have a picture of what one of these "flat" tops looks like when installed on an RT/10? Matt

    Pre 97 RT/10 Vipers (No External Door Handels!) A Solution! to the problem

    I have a couple of questions about this. What brand of alarm/door-pop are people using for this? Isn't there an option of a manual-type pop in case the remote dies? Matt

    This is for everyone looking for that perfect garage floor

    It looks like a nice idea but if you work on your car and it spews fluid it seems like it would be a real PITA to try and clean up. It looks like you have to pull up the entire floor to mop up your mess as it will fill all those tiny holes. Matt

    S.F Bay Area Viper Service

    Is he currently authorized to perform (DC) warranty repairs on a Viper or is he still trying to work that out through subcontract? I am in San Jose and would like to develop a relationship with a quality Viper tech who will be doing any of my warranty repairs. Matt

    extended warranties

    I haven't heard much regarding warranties for Vipers whoose extended service contract has recently expired. Anyone have any experience in this area. I just recieved a quote from Stevens Creek Dodge (I live in San Jose, so they would likely do the work) for $2310 for a 48mo/48K mile contranct on...

    HRE Wheels

    Does anyone have pictures of a red Viper with HRE 545's or 547's? I just saw a set of 547's on a red C5 and they were incredible. Matt

    Superchargers: Which are being used?

    Tom, I believe all the kits available for the Viper use a centrifigul supercharger. As to the brand, I'm pretty sure Doug Levin utilizes a Paxton Novi unit. I haven't seen any of the other kits. It would be nice to see a kit using a Vortech, maybe a T-Trim, but Doug's kits have earned high...

    Spiderweb, Do you have any pics of your car? I'd like to see some of the viper with the chomaillusion. -Matt

    NOT VIPER Q but humor me >> Honda Insight >>

    I had similar thoughts to yours BamBam, however, I kind of have to agree with Jason on the looks department. You may want to consider waiting until Chrysler releases their Deisel-Electric hybrid that reportedly gets about 80MPG and is a more full-size or mid-size car as opposed to the Honda's...

    Anybody have the BTR full exhaust system???

    If you decide to go with this system, please post your results. I too live in CA and would like to know if Tom's system will pass. I'm guessing you'd at least leave the cats on if you went with this system because as Marv said, without them I don't think you'd have much of a chance. -Matt

    Nationwide Insurance any good?

    I got a quote from my current insurance provider, Mercury and then I checked Nationwide. Nationwide was $1000 less each six months. I've seen them mentioned on the board. Any opinions? -Matt

    GTS vs RT/10 again...

    Ya, Mark, I put in a post regarding the GTS vs. RT/10. My reasoning is that I prefer the RT/10, however, my finances would limit me to a gen1 RT/10 or a '96 GTS. So it's a littlew more than just RT/10 vs GTS. What I'd like to find out is if the benefits of the GTS (revised aluminum suspention...

    RT/10 Body appearance

    Two quick clarification questions: 1) When did the RT/10 recieve the "updated", less flat-looking front facia that is on the GTS? 2) When did the RT/10 recieve the updated black dash and interior like the GTS? Thanks, Matt

    '96 RT/10 pics

    \'96 RT/10 pics Does anyone with a '96 RT/10 have a webpage up with several pics, both interior and exterior? I'm trying to find something that will show me, visually (I have a pretty good grasp of what changed suspention and engine wise), the differences in model years. I have info on '92 -...

    NSX owners suggest not buying a Viper

    Jon, Is the "night and day" difference between a gen1 RT/10 and a gen2 GTS so much that a gen2's benefits would outweigh the pleasure of an open roadster. This is, of coarse, based on a constraint that in my case I can't feasably swing a '97+ RT right now, but a '96 GTS or early RT is possible...

    Gen1 to Gen2 Supension ?

    Unfortunately I don't have access to the Viper mag as I do not currently own one, hence the research question. Regards, Matt

    Gen1 to Gen2 Supension ?

    Can someone point me to information regarding the suspension changes made between gen1 and gen2 cars? I checked the FAQ but it was not covered. Thanks, Matt
