    Is It Just Me Or What?

    I like the S2000 better. Just being honest. I'm afraid Dodge is setting us up to "settle" for the coupe because it looks _a little_ wilder than the SRT. Wow. After 10 years with Viper, I was thinking the 2003 evolution of the viper was going to be <FONT size="6">WILD-A$$ CRAZY...

    GTS As A Daily Driver?

    ...but you'll always wonder what it would have been like to drive the Viper... If you buy the Viper, you'll NEVER wonder what it would have been like to drive the Vette! 99 Silver ACR bone stock

    OBDII code readers

    I have a question about your cat code... It seems like there are no oxygen sensors on the output of the cats. How then can it signal cat inefficiency? Does anyone know how that works? Is it somehow the UPSTREAM O2 sensor that does it?

    NO SPARK.,.. NEED A VIPER TECH!!!!!!

    It SOUNDS strange, but you know what? I had the exact same thing happen to my MSD6BT in my blown camaro. JUST like that. Bypassed the box, cranked right up. Reconnected the box a few days later, runs fine. I think they need a reset button. :-D

    GT-3 (the game) reveals 200 mph GTS capab.

    Okay, call me crazy, call me stupid, but hear me out. Last year, after buying my ACR, 5th and 6th were driving me NUTS! They are so tall as to be almost useless in the case of 6th. So I started toying with my stock GTS "simulation" in Gran Turismo 3. I found, as a control test, that the...

    New member!

    In flames-- Welcome... I guess I made the right choice when I picked the Viper. =) The Z06 and the 2001 M3 were the only other choices for me. I thought, "Todd, if you pick the Z06, you'll always wonder what the Viper would have been like, but if you pick the Viper, you'll probably never...

    Some 03' suggestions for the folks at Viper...

    Re: Some 03\' suggestions for the folks at Viper... An automatic at 500 ft/lbs? Be careful what you ask for. Automatics in Suburbans have a shorter lifespan than 2nd Lieutenants in Da Nang. Seriously, I'm a bit fan of automatic trannys, but I'm not convinced that ANY of them (even the E55...

    1st time to redline...

    We were in the 100-120 range. Keep in mind that it was NOT the 6.0. The SV is a lesser Diablo, but still costs 240,000 dollars! They are going for 220,000 used.

    How about the BF Goodrich's...Anyone tried em?

    Re: How about the BF Goodrich\'s...Anyone tried em? WHAT?! It never occured to me that using a different BRAND of street tire on my car would keep it from being considered "bone stock"...That seems rather silly! What if Michelin stops MAKING Pilot Sports? Does this mean I can never compete...

    Does the Viper come with a REV Limiter?

    A rev limiter that did not work in neutral would be illogical. (and not likely)

    1st time to redline...

    Craig-- This "time of discovery" of your heavy-hitter vehicle is truly something you'll always remember. Believe it or not, I had mine when I went from a Ford Taurus to a 96 Z-28. I would commute in it, getting to my destination actually shaking and spun out of my head. It was a spectacular...

    How about the BF Goodrich's...Anyone tried em?

    How about the BF Goodrich\'s...Anyone tried em? BF Goodrich Comp T/A's are more than 100 bucks a piece cheaper than pilots.... Would it be a major sin for me to try them? Seeing as I NEVER want to baby my "baby", I need pretty good rubber that I don't mind leaving on the ground. Who's tried...

    A/C cutting out under vacuum:ACR, normal?

    Thanks guys-- It's good to know that my tech was right! If it's an idiosyncracy of the ACR I will NOT fix it, in the name of keeping it bone stock. I want to present and drive the car with all its warts and glory...a monument to the summit of the 20th century sports cars! 1999 Dodge Viper...

    A/C cutting out under vacuum:ACR, normal?

    Here's something I've been wanting to ask about: Is it normal, under medium acceleration (or mild acceleration up a hill--i.e., high vacuum situations) for the air conditioner to start blowing hot air? For a long time, I thought there was simply a vacuum switch to cut the compressor out when...

    Viper Trial results

    This trial of the Viper is quite interesting to me. It's something that I think about a lot while I'm driving around town. As I'm powering into traffic, or when I slip the rear end a bit around a corner, I find myself wondering about Viper's and powerful cars in general lacking traction...

    WAAAHHHH! Why are viper tires so expensive?!

    I just think 375 dollars for one tire is beyond the pale, ya know? Do any Korean brands make tires that fit? I can't keep the pilots from spinning anyhow.

    New replacement GTS Side Sills painted at factory or dealer?

    I tell you, When I hear stonewalling like the above at the Viper-fest, it really boils my blood. For anyone involved in the viper platform to claim ignorance of the yellowing paint problem, or to dismiss it as racetrack abuse is simply dishonest. How depressing. I do believe, however, that...

    New replacement GTS Side Sills painted at factory or dealer?

    Just a data point to add-- Six months ago I had Petaluma Dodge (viper specialists) paint the inside of my sills with hi-temp reflective paint, and repaint my yellow sills under warranty. Result: 6000 miles later, and they are yellowing again. No racetrack use or anything. I commute 11 miles...
