    New Stryker Red Viper?

    Bill, was the color you did a multi-layer process like stryker red or was it just a similar shade of red? I get that Dodge doesn't want to repeat the color as a production option and as a stryker red owner myself I am glad they keep their word about its exclusivity, but still... would a...

    New Stryker Red Viper?

    Yeah, that's what I figured.

    New Stryker Red Viper?

    That's the one I saw on ebay, I think it's sold. So I'd be limited to the color options on the drivesrt website? I can't even get close to stryker red with what they offer there.

    New Stryker Red Viper?

    No, but will they do stryker red as part of that program?

    New Stryker Red Viper?

    I know it's a stretch but is there any way to get a 2015 viper with stryker red paint? Yes, I still have my 2013 SR GTS but I want another one. I saw a used 2014 one up on ebay the other week, looks like it sold within a couple days of it being listed...suggests to me that those who know how...

    Carbon valve covers are almost done

    Is the x-brace tested to match or exceed the specs of the stock metal part as far as functionality goes?

    Add my 14 GTS to the Heart attack list.

    Factory standard bumper to bumper is 3 years / 36K miles. Not 100% sure but I think the powertrain is 5 years / 60K miles. My warranty lasts for as long as I own the car and was about $3K. It's directly thru chrysler and not some third party warranty company. Not sure if they offer this option...

    Add my 14 GTS to the Heart attack list.

    Yes I know, which is my point. I don't think that there's a widespread epidemic of Gen 5 motors blowing up or otherwise dying. They're machines and they're hand-built, so it's only natural that a few are going to fail. I think we're more likely to find ISIS members working for the...

    Recalls on 2013 Viper

    I guess just unlocking and it hasn't happened to me so far.

    SRT Concept Hypyecar

    It's pretty cool and I like the way it uses panels to assist in steering at high speeds. Looks like it would be north of $500K if it ever went to production, and it better include a custom-fitted g-suit with purchase. Thankfully it's not a hybrid, and it's nice to see SRT using a video game with...

    Add my 14 GTS to the Heart attack list.

    Sounds like you threw a rod. On the plus side it's going to be covered under warranty. Really? You make it sound like it's every other viper that's having catastrophic failure. First time I'm hearing something like this, and my gen 5 has been running flawlessly since I took delivery. You only...

    Great video review by Justin Bell

    It only took 2 years for the Viper to catch some reviews that include objectivity as a criteria. Also, still love my gen 5 as much as I did when I first bought it.

    Recalls on 2013 Viper

    There wasn't a lot of detail about the actual door handle problem, but the basic issue is that if enough water gets into the door handles it can short out the electronics that control the latch, causing the door to open (or at least unlock) at speeds "up to 18 MPH". I guess there is some kind of...

    Recalls on 2013 Viper

    Last year and this year I got some letters from chrysler about recalls. Here's what I got so far: - Window position sensor does not correctly roll up window when door is closed. - Seat position sensor does not relay correct seat position to airbag deployment controller - Door handle can short...

    Gen V as a DD?

    The only things that might hinder the viper from being a DD: - Lots of public attention. It will draw a crowd if you park it in a visible area and while you're driving, you're going to get a lot of people slowing down/speeding up trying to snap a cellphone pic of the car. - Weather. If it gets...
