    So I got rear-ended today... in my SRT-10

    I can speak from personal experience that you want to absolutely check into the above. I had a brand new Vette that got hit when I was stopped at a light. I had 6K miles on it, and it didn't have a scratch on it. After the insurance claim and all was fixed and repaired as good as new I tried to...

    So I got rear-ended today... in my SRT-10

    I can sympathize with your situation since I had an accident immediately upon leaving the dealership. I destroyed the front bumper, two wheels, bent the lower control arm and also needed to have front right quarter panel replaced due to a broken bracket. I was so worried that the car would never...

    Run flats off, non run flat on, ahhh

    Did you put them on fronts also? You have some kick a$$ power so I would expect you to spin almost any rubber. I cant even imagine that much punch. I am currently satisfied with my more docile, factory 500 HP. Of course, I have only had the car for 2 weeks. Still can't enough behind the wheel...

    Run flats off, non run flat on, ahhh

    No MOds but I can say that I usd to be able to spin my tires in 1st and 2nd gears easily and 3rd with a litle effort. Now with dry ground it is much, much more difficult to make them spin

    Run flats off, non run flat on, ahhh

    I had my run flats replaced with same brand, size etc. non run flats and it makes a big difference. Much more traction with better, non bouncy ride. Havnt done fronts yet but they are next. I will save the RFs for next owner.Chrysler is putting RFs on 300C for which they will supply air...

    Viper 2 WRX 0

    I was driving the SRT10 the other day( I actually drive it everyday unless there is snow) Pulled up behind a youngster in a Mustang GT who had been bopping and weaving through traffic. He looked in the review mirror and saw the Viper, he immediately pulled over into the right lane to let me by...

    Future Viper Colors - We Need Your Help!

    How about some options on interior colors also? Saddle leather, red, grey etc. Also with two tones along the lines of the Mamba. How about a pistol grip 6 spd. along with some of those old muscle colors. I had a Plum Crazy Challenger R/T, what a great color!

    Should the Viper ever have Traction control and/ or any other Gadgets?

    I have finally gotten to drive my new Viper after my little mishap. It really gave me a negative feeling about the car and even made me want to get rid of it. All this has changed. I really love it. If I hit it hard the rear slides out a little but can be brought back. I dont know what caused it...

    Age of 20 buy a Viper?

    I leased mine for 2 years. $1079.00/ month no $ down except 1st month lease and inception fees. I have 10000 miles per year so I dont have to worry, I usually only put about 6000/ year. I plan on using the Viper as my everyday car unless it snows. I can put my 20000 miles over the 2 years and...

    Non run flat tires on SRT, any improvement?

    I was thinking of changing my stock rockflat tires to non RF. Has anyone made this switch? If so how do they feel. Thanks

    Should the Viper ever have Traction control and/ or any other Gadgets?

    I understand the no TC guys. It's an easy position to take if you live in California where the weather is always warm and the Viper is a second car. Quite honeslty the Viper could have a lot less horsepower and would probably be a better car. The Lotus Elise example. This car does not have tons...

    Loss Of Control, Accidents

    I think it would be helpful if the selling dealer just told the new owner a little about the nature of these cars. Even a pre printed form for the new owner to read BEFORE driving the car. Could it hurt to tell the new owner to be careful accelerating, especially in cold weather or on roads with...

    Should the Viper ever have Traction control and/ or any other Gadgets?

    Obviously there is a controversy on the desirability of traction control. I would like to pose a question. Should Dodge remove ABS? It is also an electronic helping device which dilutes the purity of the driving machine. I havnt seen any comments on this. I think its horrible that this car would...

    How Many Spin Outs or other loss of Control ?

    Boy these cars are expensive to fix, wheels $2800, Tires $390.00, bumper cover $1000, carbon fiber panel $2400.00 etc. I should be getting the car back within the week, cant wait. From now on, I only take my wife for a ride in the Viper. My little CG only goes in the Porsche where I dont have to...

    How Many Spin Outs or other loss of Control ?

    Okay, before you guys tear me a new one I am goin to come clean. I was at the stop sign staring down the 19 year olds shirt. I got so excited I stomped on the gas, forgot about the massive 500 HP, smoked the tires(NOT the Vipers fault), just then a lamp post jumped in front of me. All through...

    How Many Spin Outs or other loss of Control ?

    I am not trying to impress anyone, I have no reputation to maintain in this forum, nor do i have reason to give anything but a true accounting of what happened. A topic was raised (tire spin) and I felt that I should relate an experience that touched on it. This is a situation where not only do...

    TO MODERATOR

    My experience with this forum compared to others I have been on is mixed. When I asked for some advice regarding my first experience with my SRT I got some good responses. Then later I got bashed and bad mouthed by an obnoxious a$$hole. I had never had this happen before. I simply said that when...

    How Many Spin Outs or other loss of Control ?

    " You clearly learned nothing from your experience. An "inherent problem with the cars?" Give me a break. If the wheel fell off, or the brakes failed, I could see your argument. That's not the case, however. You simply were not familiar with how the car handles and accelerates, and you...

    How Many Spin Outs or other loss of Control ?

    The problem is not with the cars. The problem is with the drivers. The car has over 500 lb feet of torque, no stability control, and extremely responsive steering. You can't drive this car the same way you do other cars. If you do, you will get yourself into trouble. I read your story about...
