I have a viper vx 791 with remote start but its for my 6-speed. I cant find anyone in colorado to put it in for me and it looks way to complicated to do it myself. Does anyone know where i can get it installed?

Try going to the Mountain-Prairie section of "Events & Regional" under "Forums" above (top left). Maybe someone from your local can recommend a place.

How do you plan on defeating the clutch switch and, if you do, do you really want to leave the vette at the mercy of the emergency brake alone?

The C5 emergency brake is weak at best. Do you really want to trust it alone to keep your car in place? To do it you will need to override the clutch switch and I suspect that you will have a tough time finding a reputable shop that will do it. As an aside, how does one get around the VATS chip on the key for starting without the key?
