    Viper Frame a mess

    Hi JDR; The thought had occured and was checked that it could be the electric lock somehow jamming. It was more of a; the door did move just tight in the frame. I don't think without being a contorshionist you could pull the mechanical release and ram the door with your shoulder. To be honest...

    Viper Frame a mess

    Geez Ron I kind if though that myself A Viper probably doesn't meet my expectations and I have been pondering what I would buy to replace it. You are obviously pleased with yours. I have to wonder if your doors on your 2003 had similar problems and the only help you got was to have the top of...

    Viper Frame a mess

    Some of the recent posts leave me to believe I should be a little more clear regarding my problem with the car. I am not talking about a sticky door you add a little grease or WD40 and everything is Tikety Boo. I'm talking about grabbing hold of the steering wheel and raming your shoulder into...

    Viper Frame a mess

    Wellll... Viper srt I guess your post really did change my perception. As you pointed out I should have read the brochures more closely. I was shopping for a quality built and got talked into a back to the basics car. I have no right to expect a waranty on a back to the basic car. Damn I knew...

    Hi Steve; I thought what I had said was pretty clear did I see broken welds? "No". Are there broken welds I don't know I returned the car to DC Leasing after the Xrays. I will probably never know the true cause of the flexing. it is no longer an issue short of the fact I can prove it was...

    Hello Janni; In response to your post. First without any intended insult to you as I believe you whole heardedly believe everything you have stated. However at first reading you come across as a salesman trying to sell me something. Life is as you percieve it and as a business owner I have to...

    Viper Frame a mess

    I wish it were that cut and dried. If I bought this car in CA the problem would have been resolved 3 years ago. In Ontario we used to have safety lanes were if you suspected a safety issue you could get it checked. Unfortunately recent Government cutbacks have illiminated the safety lanes as an...

    You can win your case easily if the welder/fabricators contract requires AISC/AWS standards or steel inspection report.Otherwise your SOL,or similar odds to my chi-town bears winning superbowl. The only problem there would be getting DC to provive the manifacturers spec. Not easy to obtain...

    Viper Frame a mess

    I didn't say all Viper frames are defective. The service manager at the dealership said "they are all like this". You can agree with his statement or not, I personally took it as another lie. Is their a general expectation of implied quality when sold as a "Flagship vehicle"? I personally...

    Viper Frame a mess

    Let me understand what your saying here you whacked a curb and your frame didn't break; ergo, all viper frames are good? What I said was if my frame was poorly built I assume more were built like it.

    The 2000 did have the recall for the steering assay Gussets were installed to correct a problem described as steering boxes coming loose on race track driven cars?

    Viper Frame a mess

    For example, what did the leasing company have to do with the manufacture of the car? Sure, you don't want to keep making payments to them when you're not happy with the car, but a lawyer with any skill would have NEVER named them in a lawsuit, and would have INSISTED you keep your payments...

    Viper Frame a mess

    Perosity is the main indicator of weld quality. Preasure can be exerted by load in form of load bearing strength as well as preasure as you said within a pipe. Consequences of failure in either case can still be just as catastophic. As an engineer by trade, I am sure you can appreciate what I am...

I was shocked when I actually saw the...

    Need Help with State Farm Insurance

    I would start a new thread asking VCA members how much less they would pay for a car with a repaired hood versus a new hood. Any damaged and repaired viper is scrutinized to the limit here.... Simply print the thread and send it to the adjuster and ask him who said they can repair it and not...

    Re: Ron, My post wasn't meant as a contradiction. Sorry if you took it that way. It was more of a clarifying statement, So that no misconceptions could be formed from what you were saying. I also wanted to make the point that anyone reading the post should check all makes of vehicles. As you...

    [******] NY Cops

    Bye the way a front plate is not necessary in Ontario. I heard it was beaten in court because the only safe way a cop can read a front plate is through his mirror and the plates are not reversed for this view. The dealer delivered the Snake with a plate hanger in the trunk. I have never been...

    [******] NY Cops

    Don't feel bad In Canada the cops careers depend on number of convictions. Their budgets come from revenues they generate. In Toronto the police budget is set and if the Ticket packers don't write enough tickets They get blasted in the press by council members. I have always had good experiences...

    Viper Seat Belt Warning...

    Re: I don't believe the problem with the belts originates from how long they are. Rather from the protruding release button as the pics show it is too easy to accidentally release the belt. I don't think this problem is a DC only defect. I noticed today; my wife drives a 98 Ford (no flames I...
