    More on '08 Viper

    :dunno: The earlier posts of the trouble some are having with the new '08 Vipers has been on my mind. I have a black with red stripe convert that was built February 14th. The car still hasn't been released for shipping. When I was at the dealer, he had a venom red coupe for almost a month. When...

    06 Z06 vs. SRT

    :drive: Since I own both of these cars, I would like to add my personal info about this matchup. The best I have run with either car is exactly 11.9 .... both at DeSoto Speedway. Both cars are stock, and I am a very average driver. I can't imagine that the 100 more horsepower in the SRT '08 that...

    Black and Red Viper ---on the Way

    :drive:I got a build date of Feb 14th for my black with red stripe Viper. I ordered a red interior and razor wheels. My dealer said it would be in about Feb 28th....sounds a bit quick to complete the build but...... This is my third Viper from this dealer and he has been right on so far...

    Black with red stipes SRT10

    :drive: Though I have been following all the posts, I have not logged in to the point where I forgot my password....took awhile....but I am back. I just ordered a black SRT vert with red stripes, red/black interior and razor wheels. As you know, this is a fall color, so I have a bit of a...

    About the Pontiac 2+2 How much are you asking? What is the color? Can you post some pictures? Is it the original engine? Does it have A/C, PS, or PB?

    Viper and Z06 ---- side by side

    I am not a "traitor" but I took delivery of my Z06 2 days ago to add to my collection....however I still love my SRT 10. It is too early to make alot of comparisons, but the Viper is still more of a rush with its torque, sound and toplessness.....and still turns more heads. The clutch uptake...

    drag racing times / magazine vs. real times

    I would like to try to clear up some of these magazine times on the SRT-10. At the DeSoto Viper event over a year ago, I ran 11.9 with 1200 miles on the car and no mods. Two other 03 Vipers were at the same track. A red one ran 11.9 which was also stock, and a third one ran 11.7 with no air...

    SRT-10 v.s. E55 AMG

    The answer! I own both an 03 black E55 and an 03 black SRT..both cars have less than 3,000 miles and no mods. I have raced both cars on the same day at the Desoto Drags in Florida. The E55 ran 12.3 and the Viper ran 11.9. However, from 0 to about 30, the E55 can be slightly ahead. :cool: riw

    V-10 Nationals

    The V-10 Nationals in Bradenton were great. Saturday there were about 30 Vipers running. They were nice enough to let me run my Mercedes E55 with them. We ran 12.39 at 112mph. Sunday I brought my 03 SRT. There were two other SRT's in the stock class as well as other Vipers. All stock SRTs...

    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    Hi all I started this thread many months ago, and finally got my "bog" flashed thanx to roadrunner's instructions. Wow what an improvement. Now with partial throttle 1st to 2nd, the car really leaps forward ---as it should. 2nd gear also feels stronger. The viper tech drove it before and after...

    Bradenton Fl dragstrip

    FikseGTS The AMG E55, like the other AMG's is best raced from a standstill or roll, with the traction control on. You get minimal wheel spin. MB has the system down perfect for launches. With the traction control off, all you do is go sideways. And, by the way, anyone who thought my 1.8...

    Bradenton Fl dragstrip

    I was at the Bradenton dragstrip this weekend with my AMG E55. I couldn't take my SRT 03 because the stupid flickering lights are still a problem. Also I was worried about "THE BOG" ----not fixed yet either. There were about 6 Vipers, including Larry M from Orlando. They ran 10's and 11's all...

    Straight from PVO! Headlight Flickering Details.

    :( I have driven my SRT for 900 miles and for the first time my lights have flickered at night. This seems to be a dangerous problem, as noted before. What is the most recent definitive fix? I plan to take it to my Dodge dealer next week. RIW

    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    When I first posted this "bog" I was really unhappy that my 03 SRT did not snap me back at partial and medium throttle between 1st and 2nd gear as I had expected. I re-drove all my corvettes and clearly remember what my 2000 GTS felt like during shifting. The full power really shows...

    Red Shift Light ?

    Red shift light on page ............ :ooo: Red shift light is in the manual on page 74. Glad to see that there are a few of us that actually drive this car hard enough to see this light go on. riw 2003 SRT black 2000 GTS black - sold 2002 ZO6 yellow 1993 ZR1 anniv. 1967 427...

    Red Shift Light ?

    I have shifted my SRT and have seen the red shift light come on. I have now used this as a gauge for serious shifting for speed. It comes on at 5600 rpms. I have used this as a guide and have not hit the rev limiter. The shifts are very positive and powerful. This light was not on my 2000...

    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    :ooo: I had my SRT out tonight, and again at a partial throttle, 4000-4500 rpm, it felt for an instant like it was fuel starved. This seems to go along with Ron's assessment and other explainations that there may be a sensor cutting off fuel for an instant. The power comes right back upon...

    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    Your description seems pretty accurate to what I have experienced. I have 600 miles on the SRT and have not gone to 5900 when shifting yet. However, I feel the real torque and power are in a very high rev range. I am not sure of the reason why I do not get instant power between 1st and 2nd...

    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    I appreciate this topic being continued. I had the SRT out today.... the torque and power seemed to be very high up in the rpm range compared to my 2000 GTS. My GTS and my Z06 really chirp and accellerate, even in modest rpm range---4000 to 5000 --- In the same range, with a lift off...
