    RT/10 in Jay Leno's garage online now!

    Why does his car have an antenna? I thought all antenna cars were red leftovers from '92.

    RaceDeck Garage flooring?

    I put these in a couple of years ago and I'm not really happy with them. There are several problems, the most noticeable is they sound cheap and nasty like you're walking on plastic. Probably because that's exactly what they are. I tried roofing felt but it didn't quiet them down much. I...

    Autoform Top Group Buy

    I am very interested! It sure would be nice to drive it more than 4 months out of the year. I'd like to see some detailed pictures first - front, side, and rear angles. And some close ups of the windows. I'd also like details on exactly what has to be done to the car to install the top. I...

    Very please with Gas Mileage

    I bought mine in California and drove home to Washington the next day. My best was from Weed CA all the way through Oregon to Vancouver WA in one tank. It came out to just over 26 mpg. Compared to my other vehicles (Lightning & Wrangler), this makes the Viper my economy car.

    Short pull against my buddy in his gto

    That is by far the best video of a non-deploying passenger air bag I've ever seen.

    Gen 1 headlamp switch melted...again

    Don't leave your dash lights dimmed just slightly. Either drive with them full on or 50% or more dimmed. It's when they are just slightly dim that the most current passes through the switch and it overheats. This is a problem with all switches that have resistor dimmers, just some are better...

    Tire Question

    8 years, is that all? I think I can beat that. My tire codes are 351 and 321 on the rears and 371 both fronts. Yep, 1991. And it shows, they've got little hairline cracks all over the sidewalls. I'm lucky I made it the 600 miles back home when I bought it in August. The car only had 21k...

    heater not working...

    You're not alone. It's been on my list since I got it to rip the dash out and figure out why I can't get any hot air out the vents. I never would have guessed it was made that way.

    New owner w/ strange Q: what happened to my dash?

    Yep, I also have the "viper" calipers and gas door notch in the body. So I guess it's considered an early '93, which sounds much better than saying it's a leftover '92. #142 according to the VIN.

    New owner w/ strange Q: what happened to my dash?

    Thanks all, I didn't realize the original paint was so soft. I really want to keep the car as original as possible, but if the factory paint isn't available, I'll have to try something else. One of the pics I found while searching was from somebody who redid theirs in black and it looked hot...

    New owner w/ strange Q: what happened to my dash?

    I picked up my first Viper about a month ago ('93 w/ only 21k miles). Everything is in excellent condition, except the dash has been repainted. And not very well. It looks like it was scratched up pretty badly and somebody repainted it but without filling in the scratches. What I can't...
