Actually, O2 sensors will get clogged with soot and still not throw a CEL. They cause more fuel to be used, thus causing a rich condition. And your gas mileage suffers. Yes, they are good for 60k-100k miles until they fail. But that is failure, not causing degraded performance. Think of it like...
So true. What I don't understand is why people can't live with the fact that you can have the manual as well as the auto/DCT. Just because one is allowed doesn't mean the other will be cancelled. If an automatic isn't your cup of tea, then don't get an automatic. Why do people try to push their...
Exactly! Tap into that C7 Corvette market. Make the car and give buyers a choice at a cheaper SRT sports car model. And then use some of the R&D to spread the costs around. I am just surprised that they have never tapped into that market.
Well shouldn't the registration history /inspection history show the mileage history of this vehicle? Shoot, any service records would do the same thing.
They lag too much? The fastest times for the new C7 are all using the A6 as an example. I don't want an automatic in my Viper but I am not going to say that it shouldn't have it either. Why would I be so self absorbed as to think I speak for everyone and tell them what they should and shouldn't...
Well the only thing that I can comment on when it comes to all of the SRT stuff is "Why no word from SRT? Not even a whisper or reply. Shoot, even a snide comment would at least give hope. The ignoring or just totally blowing us off is what hurts the most.
And as for the rag mags, screw those...
Great pics. And thanks Tony for always going that extra bit to do stuff like this. These pics really show how they are similar and how they are different. It would be nice if you could have also did a comparo on the interior and consoles.
Both cars look great. I think the Viper looks...
So is there any reason why Chrysler/Fiat couldn't rebid to a new company for new engine management software? Or are they bound by contracts to stay with the particular vendor that they are using now? The reason I ask is because if not contractually obligated, Chrsyler could opt to go with a new...
I hate to ask this question but feel that I must and the question is "Why are you even here?". You are proving the point that there should be a member's only section. Those who are legitimate Viper owners or Viper fans wouldn't have to read your drivel or BS.
Now in response to Mark's question...
I agree 100% with you Tony. The aftermarket and in the case of the Viper, lack of, is what holds some people back. AS you mentioned, the C7 already has tons of mods and it is just being released. Shoot, TSP has the C7 at close if not over 600hp without FI. GM and FORD have embraced the...
So true. GM didn't hesitate to go the forced induction route. If they put FI on the Viper, then game over but that would entail all kinds of testing and certifications which in turn equal big money.
The sad part about the aero stuff and CF parts is that they should have been available from the get go. If they had, we wouldn't have had to hear all of the crap from the MT article. Personally I think this lack of getting the parts to market for those ready to buy for their snakes is just...
Well as others have stated, the car is incredible so why give one that is not 100% to magazine journalists? And I hate to say it, but the color contest does not breathe excitement into a product that needs a shot in the arm. I think the majority of people have felt let down from the beginning...
Well as others have said, SRT/Dodge should give out an SRT product for it's loaner car when needed. Some people will/would buy based upon experiencing the new product. So the Viper owner that goes in and is in need of a 4 door vehicle for daily use, might just see how nice the vehicle is and buy...
Well, Ian, if they want to sell more Vipers, they need to advertise them more and also supply the people who are going to be evaluating them, with a car that has been through a thorough QC check. Marketing needs to be fired and new individuals hired who want to show the Viper for what it is. The...
No need to apologize Kris. You handled it way better than alot of people. It is in no way your fault for switching to another car. It is in fact SRTs fault for losing a valuable customer. When you bought your car, you not only bought the car but also the customer service as well. You received...
