    Preset check engine light?

    Normally I would think the check engine light will come on only when something is wrong. I my laziness, my light came on and I did nothing about it. I don't remember the mileage when it came on, but I was watching as I crossed 26,000 miles and the light went out at EXACTLY the same time. Hasn't...

    How would a Chrysler group sell off affect the Viper?

    It's just speculation at this point, but I'd like to hear other opinions about what might happen to the Viper program in different hands. From Automotive News: Is the Chrysler group for sale? During a presentation to analysts and journalists today, DaimlerChrysler CFO Bodo Uebber refused to...

    Two sightings this weekend

    The first was a red GTS with silver stripes. It was in the BMW Mfg. parking lot Saturday afternoon at the Eurofest car show. The second was a white mamba at the Blind Horse Saloon during the Tracy Lawrence concert. Anybody here?

    Cold tire season starting, be careful!

    This morning it was in the upper 50's here in SC. I temporarily forgot that hot tires on hot roads = good traction. SO, I went to pass a retard going 35 in a 45 on a two lane on my way to work..... Second gear, full throttle, tires spin as the RPMs rise. No surprise there, but then the car...

    How difficult to 'un-bolt' the roof?

    How difficult to \'un-bolt\' the roof? With the new coupe being basically an SRT vert with a roof added, how difficult would it be to remove said roof section? If it's a matter of unbolting the header and 1/4 panel sections, could you then add a modified verts trunk lid and have an old Mercedes...

    Two new issues in one day.

    My 03 SRT-10 has been generally trouble free the past two years. Even the passenger side window fixed itself (used to snag the top) Coming home from the Blind Horse Saloon last Saturday night, the temp had dropped into the 50's and I turned the heat on for the first time since.... No heat...

    SRT-10 HP gain - others loose

    I just read it quickly, so forgive me if some of the numbers are off. The SRT-10 gained 10hp from its original number with the new SAE certified testing. The Z06 gained 5hp. The Cadillac XLR-V goes from 440 to 469! The Camry V6 loses 35? Did I read that right? It was 225 and it's now 190...

    Motor Trend ...blah

    I was so excited to see the Newest MT at Barnes and Noble this weekend. The SRT-10 coupe was on the cover! Red with silver stripes. I couldn't wait to turn to the page that listed the SRT vs Z06 performance numbers....here comes the blah. 3.5 vs 4.2 11.5 vs 12.2 HORRIBLE! The whole article...

    Now that the Viper&Vette certified horsepower...

    First is was Chevrolet, certifying the horsepower of the C6 Z06 at 505. Then it was DC certifying the SRT-10 motor at 510. Will Ford do the same with the GT engine? I'd bet that it makes a lot more than 550, given the weight of the car.

    Changed spark plugs: Much smoother

    I just changed the plugs in the snake and was wondering if anyone else had the same results. Much smoother idle, and no 'skip' feeling at light throttle. I always thought the V-10 was prone to this feeling due to the cam, but this is the first Viper I've kept long enough to change the plugs. It...

    Road&Track 1 mile test

    I am certainly not a JH fan (I don't forgive and forget easily like others can) but I was happy to see the Henness*y Viper as the top car in the article. 210+ mph is really smokin' in one mile. The thing that bothers me is the results of the 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Not just of the Vipers, but in...

    ForbesAutos: another screwup

    It seems like the Viper is now the invisible car. How can the car mags and internet comparisons keep forgetting the new Z06's main competitor? Here's what Forbes listed as it's opinions and the competition: Buy This Vehicle If You want to slay virtually every other sports car on the road...

    Analogies: Viper Coupe vs. Z06

    The best I can think of is the Boeing 747 Vs. the Airbus A-380. Another would be the U.S. space shuttle vs. the Chinese or Russian space programs. Maybe they aren't so good, but I'm trying to inject some interesting conversations into a very boring (lately) forum. Think about it.

    Car rags fail again...

    Road and Crap has a cover story called FUN factor! Viper SRT-10 included! No ratings, just a brief opinion. Blah Next comes Crap & Driver. Cover blurb = POWER CRAZY! No Viper included. Why? The Fastest car in the group was the Ford GT. It did the 1/4 mile in 12.0 @ 123 in this test. Do I...

    BumbleBee Viper in "Herbie" movie. Whos?

    BumbleBee Viper in \"Herbie\" movie. Whos? Herbie pulls into a car show and there's a Yellow/Black GTS in the background several times. Anyone want the fame? By the way, it was absolutely the worst movie I've seen in a long time. If Herbie 'frowned' one more time, I was gonna scream.

    What ever happened to the ROE S/C for the SRT-10?

    I usually don't miss new posts, but I may have missed this one. I thought the SRT-10 supercharger from Roe Racing would be finished by now. Any updates?

    The ultimate identity theft?

    Seems lately that we have a few 'newbies' in the forums that do not act like Viper owners. I don't want to point fingers, but there have many, many posts by people who can't spell, can't punctuate, ask questions only morons would ask, then insult people who tell them the truth. Can you imagine...

    Have you checked the price $$$ of new wiper blades?

    Saturday, I decided to stop by Spartanburg Dodge to schedule a service appt. for my SRT-10. I told them they would be changing the fluids, replacing the power mirror switch, making an attempt to adjust the passenger side glass, and changing the wiper blades. The service guy told me to sit down...
