    Loss Of Control, Accidents

    fluffy, I would think a better solution than the flatbed would be for the Vipers to come with (gasp)a jack, lug wrench, and a spare tire that would fit both the front and rear (for limited driving of course). For short trips around town, or when you want to drive really hard, you (duh) take...

    Another One Bites the Dust

    Wow, what a shame about your car. It's really scary how easy it is to lose traction with the Viper. My completely stock (expect for RPS clutch and flywheel) '03, broke loose twice the other day. Once when I was going from 2d to 3rd at about 70 MPH (that was exciting) and then a little bit...

    My SRT is TOTALED, But SAVED my life!!!

    It's a real shame about your car, but still it's only a car (I know, I know a Viper is really not ONLY a car!). The important thing is that you or any other innocent person was not injured seriously or permanently. I hope your lawyer really sticks it to that dope. In the interim, enjoy the...

    What did your viper cost you?

    Hirohava, No I am not joking about the ivory. Before you get excited you may want to consider these facts: 1) There are more elephants in Africa than there are elk in North America. 2) Zimbabwe has ~80,000 resident elephants with another 15,000 transitory jumbos that travel between Botswana...

    What did your viper cost you?

    I just mentioned to my wife I was thinking about buying a two-seat sports car. Two months later she came home from work and asked me why I parked my '99 Toyota 2-wheel drive truck in the garage. I told her, "I didn't, I traded it in on a sports car.". She said "No, your kidding right?". I...

    Does my '05 VCA Viper come with the 7/70 warranty?

    Re: Does my \'05 VCA Viper come with the 7/70 warranty? Well if it is true (and I don't know for sure), why would Dodge do that? Possible reasons: a) They don't have any confidence in the build/reliability quality of the Viper. b) Just a way to get more people to buy the "extended warranty"...

    RPS CLUTCH/FLYWHEEL INSTALL PROBLEM

    Bill M, I took the original flywheel, clutch, and disk back to the dealer yesterday afternoon. The Tech and I did a side-by-side comparison of the RPS setup and the stock components. Everything seemed to match exactly, except the RPS clutch disk was thicker (to be expected). The Tech said it...

    Clutch Problems/VIN Check

    Skip, Thanks again for the good advice! I'm going to have to buy you a beer one of these days. Ever try Newcastle Brown Ale? It turns out the Service Manager at Northglenn seems to be a good guy (it's just his job to "sell" as much service as the customer will buy). The techs at the...

    DODGE ***** WHEN IT COMES TO PROBLEMS

    Based upon my experiences with DC (see Clutch Problem/Vin Check), expecting any type of customer support after you buy a Viper is a pipe dream. American-made cars and trucks are basically a piece of [******] (can I say that here without offending anyone?) and the manufactures know it. That's...

    Clutch Problems/VIN Check

    Service guy called and said the flywheels on national back order. I think I want to go to a better clutch. Can anyone recommend a good RPS clutch kit for my Viper, where to buy it and price, and where in the Denver metro area would be a good place to get it installed? I am going to try and...

    Clutch Problems/VIN Check

    Skip, Like I said earlier my timing really ***** the last couple of months. I talked to the dealer and he said the parts were already in and I would have to pay a restocking fee, plus the labor would be the same whether they put in the new clutch and flywheel or put back the old ones. So I...
