Default New to the Viper World

Hello fellow Viper Owner's. I've been in Love with Viper's ever since I read about them in Car -n- Driver in the early 90's.

I just picked up a 1994 RT/10 with 23,500 miles. Unfortunately I live in Cleveland and I can't drive it do to the SNOW. I'm totally looking forward to this summer.

Does anyone have any advice on what I can do with the Hard Top that the Viper came with? Do any of you guys use a Garage pulley system? Once the sun is out, I'm going convertible.

Let me be the first to say welcome! I dont have any of the problems you are talking about... I live in Florida so I drive year round and have a GTS, so no top lifting for me.

Welcome and congrats from a fellow OH Viper owner. Hope you join the VCA and get out to some events with the OH VCA. For your information, the annual Ohio Club party was planned for tonight in Akron/Canton area but was postponed by the snow. Send me a PM and I can fill you in on new date and Ohio contacts or visit Ohio web site. Welcome, let the fun begin!

Welcome. If you want a cheap and simple rack to hang your top in the garage, I bought 4 large rubber coated J-hooks at Home Depot, the kind used to hang bicycles and ladders, and put them on the wall. I set the top on the bottom two and then turn the top two down over the top to hold it secure. Cost me less than ten bucks and it works great. If you can't picture it and are interested let me know and I'll post a pic.

Thank-you all for the HELP!!! I can't tell you enough how nice it is to read these forums and digest some much useful information

I hope to become a VCA member soon!

As for being a Cleveland Viper owner, I was looking forward to some weather that would let me drive it. But we just received another two inches of snow today I know summer is just around the corner, but I have the fever!!!

Fellow Viper Owners. I feel like an idiot!

The Car was built in Oct. of 94. It's actually a 95.

I think we have 4"-5" down here. No worries, you will get a chance to put some miles on it soon. I would say two weeks max. There are some pretty good cop free roads down this way I can show you. I'll shoot you an email. Did you buy your car from Jeff's?

Cop free Roads?

Yes I purchased my car form Jeffs. Did you see it posted? They gave me an excellent deal for my truck, so I jumped on it!!!

What year is yours? Does it have the Tan interior? How many miles?
