    New engine for 100 bucks!!!

    Ok, so not as cool as it sounds... Just took in my 2004 because it sounded like the belt was squeaking, and it turned into a whole mess of an issue. Something with the dampener (sp). The dealer didn't really now because when I questioned him he didn't have a good answer. They're keeping it...

    crank bolt loose.... again??

    I have a 2004, and last summer it started squealing like crazy!! I brought it in, and the crank bolt loosened, and the crank shaft damp and pulley assembly were too far forward and that bolt had loosened up too. I'm looking at the service records right now, and they say they used locktite and...

    Downshifting on highway

    I think somewhere on here I have read where someone said to be careful about downshifting at highway speeds into lower gears. Something about how it has caused a lot of accidents. I don't think it is a problem, just blip the throttle to match the RPM's for a smooth shift, right?:dunno: Sorry...

Like the airplane black box but records how fast a person is going and when brakes are applied ect. so in case of an accident blah blah...the example in the article I was reading...

    wheels under $5,000?

    I want to get some new wheels but HRE's are close to two grand each and forgeline's are a grand each. What's the best bargain? Are there other wheels out there that aren't so pricey?

    No cover...

    This is the Viper's first winter with me, and I don't have a cover on it. It's just sitting in the third stall. Is there going to be any permanent damage, something I can't take care of come spring time? It's just making me nervous...

    Is it the runcraps?

    It was 40ish and sunny today and here in Michigan I'm taking advantage of every semi nice day I have left. So, I washed the car and drove it through the neighborhood to the stop sign on the main drag. That's when I eased into the gas and sent the car sliding sideways! And when I say eased, I...

    I can fill the car up...

    I spend so much time reading about Vipers, watching videos of Vipers, driving my Viper, talking about Vipers.....You get my point. I think we probably all share this obsession. But I don't know jack about anything mechanical! I want to be able to work on the car and do some of my own...

    Help needed fast

    My dad is ordering a snakeskin green with black stripes tomorrow morning and we can't decide what interior to get. We were thinking tan but now we are leaning towards red. No black, we have all black now in our 04', and we are sick of it. Not a big fan of silver either....Also what bezel...

    Quick fix...

    Not sure if this is old news, but I just removed the sun visors on my vert and it made a world of difference. Inside, head room feels doubled (might be b/c I am 6'3"...but my dad who is 5'10" liked it too) and from the outside it looks way more streamlined. If you have a vert I would recommend...

    Rookie driver question

    If I am attempting a launch for a quarter mile or a 0-60 time, what is the best RPM and clutch technique? I have read where people like to launch from about 2400 RPMs, so does that mean I just drop the clutch? Help me out please...I want to take the beast to the track but don't really want to...

    Quick, simple question

    Planning on waxing my black snake for the first time ever this weekend and was just wondering what all you use and any other suggestions to do a good job that I might not be aware of. Thanks in advance. Jimmy

    Wheel cleaner safe?

    Seems like after every drive the wheels need to be cleaned. Is the spray on spray off safe for the brakes and the red calipers on my 04'? Or what do you guys do to keep them clean?

    Corsa or Borla or what else?

    Just got an 04' SRT-10, and the only thing I am not 100% satisfied with is the sound. I have read all the great things about Corsa Track but does eliminating the crossover hurt torque at lower RPMs? I think I might have heard that before...Anyways what about performance between Corsa and other...
