Re: Pulling Viper Out Of Winter Storage
Hi Robert,
I just bought my first Viper in May last year just like you. I'm in montreal and we both know, this was a long winter for us both.
I just took my car out of storage last weekend.
I follow the same list as Mad listed above. He's a great guy by the way and helped me a lot when I first bought my car.
It all depends on how you stored it. Since this was my first year of ownership, I was overly paranoid storing it so I even put covers over my exhausts so nothing could crawl inside. I almost forgot to remove them before I started the car.
Just some little things I would do differently next year. When I started the car I found I was a little "rusty" in finding my sweet spot in the gears and clutch. The other thing I didn't do, which I should have done, was depress the brake several times to get used to viper braking again after driving my daily driver all winter. It was going down the Hwy before I had to use them seriously for the first time this year and I got a little surprise.
Next year I'll drive some back roads to refamiliarize myself to the car again before just jumping back into main traffic.
Where are you located in ON? I come to TO every second month....would be great to meet someone else with the same car! Send me a PM or email anytime.
John
