    Stacking up against a Viper

    Does no one else find this extraordinarily creepy?

    Is The Viper An ANTI-CHICK MAGNET?

    Girls, for the most part, are not attracted to all the same aspects of a car that a guy is. Your Viper, a GTS with racing stripes, has less appeal to a woman than say, a red RT/10 would, while gearheads and 12-year-old boys would prefer the race car appeal of the coupe. Take the examples to...

    Lucky me (wreck).

    My best friend is a Battalion Chief for a large county here in FL. He's a paramedic/firefighter. We were driving along one day, and came to an intersection perhaps 2 minutes after an accident had occurred. It was bad. An old woman had been broadsided for what looked like going through an...

    Yellow RT in the music Video by Darude - Feel the beat

    I'm fairly eclectic when it comes to most things, including music and cars. People rip themselves off when they don't give different experiences a fair chance. Having said that, I'm not so fast to label them closed-minded, as I've seen those with minds so open their brain falls out. And...

    Yellow RT in the music Video by Darude - Feel the beat

    Even though Techno is very popular in Europe, it was created by four black dudes from Detroit: Techno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Thankfully it never really caught on in the States. Personally, I'd rather hear Freddy Kruger try to dig his way out of a tomb made of chalkboards.

    Getting ready for 3000 mile Trip

    I've done a few longish road trips in my Viper. I bring a big bag of jerky, a box of Montecristo No. 5's, a stack of rock CDs, and I stop every hour for a peach or strawberry milkshake, depending upon availability. Great time. You'll get countless honks and thumbs-ups from people on the...

    Gen V Design Concept

    Pic 1 looks like a Gen II Viper mated with Speed Racer's Mach 5. Pic 2 looks like a Maserati redesign of a Gen IV hiney. Pic 3 looks like it doesn't have time for any of your foolishness. Overall, I like it.

    Request: Photos of 08/09 SSG Vert w/ BLACK ACR wheels

    Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. Looks like they lowered it a bit, as well. I definitely prefer the black wheels to the aluminum/chrome on the SSG. The reason I was asking is because I am seriously considering selling my GenII for an SSG vert but I wanted to see what the black wheels...

    Request: Photos of 08/09 SSG Vert w/ BLACK ACR wheels

    Title pretty much says it all. Does anyone have photos of an 08/09 SSG Vert with the black ACR wheels (or something similar) on it? Thanks!

    Looking to be a RT/10 owner

    Get a Gen II and do the sidepipe conversion. You'll be much, much happier.

    I bought a little piece of Viper history today--Lutz Viper

    It absolutely will be a collector car down the road. First series Viper #2? Oh yeah. Keep it undercover for a couple decades and sell it for a mint. It will be great having a 40-year-old stock Viper in 2032 that can run circles around the 1.8L hybrid cars, powered by sunflowers and good will...

    Personalized liscense plates

    I went for all out obscurity on mine. Only the geekiest of computer geeks would ever get it. License tag is 100 001. In 6-bit binary it equates to 33. On the ASCII table, 33 is the ! So I'm driving around with the binary expression for an exclamation point. Most people think it's a...

    RT/10 shaky at 120+

    Hello, I have a 1999 RT/10 that gets uncomfortably shaky when I go over 120 MPH. It seems to be a problem that came with age, as I had it over 150 a few years back :headbang: and it was quite smooth. I'm going to get the tires changed, as they are almost 5 years old now (but with plenty of...

    96 hennessey 600

    Ssssshhh! Don't discourage him. If this thing is the trainwreck it's supposed to be, I can't wait to read Chuck's evaluation. :eater:

    Just wondering why this hasn't sold ??

    Eeeeek, that one sold for $29,000. Then again, something was squirrely about that one, as well. The paint color doesn't look quite right and those aftermarket stripes are vomit.

    Saw the clip on CBS. Total bull. Gimme an address and/or phone number. Fingers are poised and ready.

    Berated for owning a Viper

    I generally don't get much negative attention from driving my Viper, until I hook up my sled team of baby seals to pull me along the interstate, whilst I smoke illegal Cuban cigars with my underage Russian bride riding shotgun.

    1999 RT/10 with mods - approximate market value?

    Hello, I've had my '99 Black/Cognac RT/10 for 5 years now. It's a wonderful car, but, given the deals going around on Gen IV's, I think I might be wanting to trade for an SSG. The car, mechanically, is perfect. Every single bit of work, from oil changes to engine mods, was done by Doug Levin...

    McViper is sold.......and crashed...........

    "$32k in repairs, blow out, 40mph. Yeah I must call on the blow out story too..." This is quite possible. I know this, unfortunately, from personal experience. An F-350 turned left from the outside line, cutting me off. I tried to match his turn, and go around the corner with him, but he...

    Chrysler in Bankruptcy, now what?

    "The autoworker unions will hold approximately 55% of Chrysler. Due to half of the special trust to fund their health and retirement benefits. (VEBA) will be converted to an ownership stake in the new company." An organization with the specific goal of taking as much as they can from a company...

    HPDE at Homestead on Feb.28

    Will we be able to register at the track? I'd like to go, but my job takes me out of the country quite often, and usually unpredictably, so I'm hesitant to register for anything in advance.

    Gasket for rear window on RT/10

    I would, but the search function is awful. No matter how specific I define the search, it returns garbage.

    Gasket for rear window on RT/10

    How hard is it to replace the gasket on the rear window of an RT/10, and where can I buy one? The one I have is dried and cracked from age, so water can seep underneath and into the car during heavy rain or if I'm not careful where I point the hose while washing. Thanks!

    Best auto insurance co. to get???

    Ditto on State Farm. They've never let me down when I had to make a claim, both for complete home destruction (Hurricane Andrew) and 2 vehicle claims - one stolen and totaled (Ford), and one for the Viper (rear ended). Payment was fast and fair.
