Don't think I've ever owned a car that hasn't been subject to a recall, TSB, or other issue requiring attention (kinda sounds sad considering I've only bought American).
No sell.

Nope not selling. thatd be considered quitting and thats not an option. the repairs will make theses vipers better than originally, i firmly believe that.

No way would I sell. My car only needs the front braces. This is not a big deal. They are only adding some extra gussets.
Even if I needed the rear differential braces done, I would not sell. D/C is liable if they do work on a Viper and later on the driver losses control due to poor workmanship of the repair. With that being said, I am confident that D/C has thought this through and has engineered the braces to overkill the strength requirements. In addition, I would bet they provide detailed instructions on how these braces are to be mounted to the car.

99 Sidewinder, youre exactly right. ive looked at the repair manual with the sevice manager together and it is very specific, detailed and states no substitution or changes other than what is specifically said in the manual. and yes the reinforcements will be overkill in essence making our vehicles better than they were before with regard to this aspect

No.
Hope this is not a dumb question, but
<<the driver losses control due to poor workmanship of the repair. >> .... is this why the recall is recommended...to keep the welds from cracking and then possibly "lose control" while driving due to severe cracking?
Another question:
Plenty of us have cars (such as '96 pace cars, rare '97 blue and white RTs, GT-2s, etc.) that have from 10 - 1500 miles on them, and will probably have the same number of miles 20 years from now. Any recommendations on what to do recall-wise for these collector cars? ie "leave it alone if no cracks are found" vs. "this is a major safety issue, have it done at all costs"?

With a educated guess of 98% of cars needing only the added reinforced pieces.........I think I'll roll the dice, let ya know if I am the 2%!
