    Stk Gen 1 runs 12.8 & 110 mph @ 3700 asl

    Ed, I was crossing the finish in 4th. I'm sure that I will hit the rev limiter if I stayed in 3rd but I will certainly try keeping it there next time. What was the track elevation of where you were running at as it looks like your density altitude would have been up there? Tim

    Wow, that is nice. If I sell my Red 94 RT10 I'm looking for a Gen 2 RT10 in yellow like this would be perfect.

    Stk Gen 1 runs 12.8 & 110 mph @ 3700 asl

    Well thanks for your comments both positive and negative. Even though I’m running an old Gen 1 that is as I relayed in the original message I feel my run was not that bad. I would imagine that the Gen 2 Vipers that are pulling 11.9 at the tracks that are at or near sea level would now be in...

    Help..............Grinding 2nd gear with new tranny

    I have a 94RT10 with a new tranny (on warranty), clutch, pressure plate and slave cylinder also replaced at the same time. When shifting from 1st to 2nd there is still a bit of grinding when speed shifting into 2nd gear. All other gears there is no grinding what so ever. The dealer seems...

    High Altitude Drag Racing

    3% loss of power per 1000 foot increase in altitude from sea level. This is based on sea level being 15 degrees Celsius and at 29.92 inches of mercury. An average temp drop of 3 degrees per 1000 feet is about normal. Anything warmer than 0 deg Celsius or 32 deg f will also raise your density...

    Stock Gen 1 beats Z06

    I wasn't aware that I'm able to adjust the suspension on my 94. Is there a link to this some where explaining the process? I will need all the help that I can get next time out to beat this guy with his new 405 HP model. Thanks

    We need a couple of new categories

    How about a section that will show where we can buy or interchange pieces for the Viper from other cars and not be stuck paying the outrages Viper prices. E.g. lumbar support air bulb from a medical supply store for less then $3.00 and not the Viper price of $99.00. The remote for the alarm...

    Wanted Headers for the 4.7 V8 in the Jeep?

    I have a 2001 Dakota 4*4 Quad Cab. This thing is pathetic as far as power goes and fuel mileage is also terrible on the high way. (When the wife complains about the lack of power that is bad) At 65 MPH 18.5 MPG and that is in the big imperial gallon. Should have stayed with the Jeep and the 4.0...

    Turbo or Supercharging vs Altitude

    A normally aspirated engine (Viper) will lose 3% of its power per 1000’ increase in altitude. If your day is warmer than normal (allow a 2 deg Celsius drop in temperature per 1000’) even more power is loss. All measurements are based from sea level at 15 deg C and a barometric pressure of 29.92...

    Warranty trans is a howling, hissing success/not

    I also had mine replaced on my 94 under warranty due to the original one popping out of gear, grinding on my shift into 2nd and finally when the shifter broke off in my hand I had no choice but to get a new one. I wanted to make it last for the summer but no luck, this was July. I now have the...

    The price dropped again... 2003?

    We are coming into fall and in some parts of North America cars such of the Viper will depreciate slightly until spring when prices will go back up. As well all of North America is into a recession so us Viper owners will also be effected negatively at this time. Every year the prices will...

    Wheel Alignment and Tires

    I have just had my wheels aligned on my 94 RT 10 at Leduc Chrysler here in Nisku Alberta (Edmonton). Mike at Jack Powel Dodge in California helped us over the phone with his recommended alignment specs. All I can say is "Wow" what a difference in the way this car handles. It is no longer the 2...

    Lumbar Support

    I have replaced my bulb that is used to inflate the lumbar support in my 94 RT 10. Total cost was $4.00 (Canadian Peso’s). That works out to $2.75 U.S. A far cry from the $150.00 Canadian that the dealers are asking for the bulb. Works and looks just like the Mopar unit. I bought it from the...

    Question on loss of power when car gets hot

    Just a note that all normally aspirated engines will loose 3% of their rated horsepower per 1000-ft increase in density altitude. Those calculations are based on a standard barometric pressure of 29.92 inches of mercury and 15 deg Celsius at sea level. I will try and get the hand calculations to...

    Canadian Crown Asset Seizure 97 RT10

    This week I was awarded the closed bid that was on this 97 RT 10 that has been held as a crown asset here in Canada. My guess is that it was seized from one of the local M/C clubs out in eastern Canada. The car was advertised as having 9654 kilometers, mint shape with the hard top but no...

    Mud Flaps/Gravel Rash

Is anyone aware of a mud flap that is designed or will fit on the Viper behind each tire to protect the car from...
