    cold wet tires + 2 degree weather not so good

    I once had the Viper spin around on me while in a parking lot after it got real cold. I also had runflats on which turn as hard as hockey pucks at cold temps and have little to no grip. If you had run flats and it was 2 degrees I could see the back end acting like it was on ice the whole time.

    About to pull the trigger on an 08-09, I have a few questions though.

    Using the Viper as a DD isn't too bad. Just get used to walking far to places as you will want to park Far far away from everyone else. I put 25K on my Viper over 3 years and enjoyed every moment. It was fun being known at work as the guy with the Viper. Even bad traffic isn't all that bad...

    What's an 08 Viper with 48,000 miles worth?

    Well I went through the sale of a Viper with High mileage. I started in Aug with a reasonable 59K for the Viper with 24K miles. I got no response. I dropped it to 56K and got no response. I posted it on FleBay a few times at 56 and 54 and the highest bids were in the 47-48 range. I reposted...

    Looking for a Gen IV, quick questions...

    Nope, no stories, no history, no issues. I just can't really afford to keep up on the upkeep. $200 oil changes and such start to add up over time. I did have some warranty work done last summer, but the bugs are worked out now and someone else doesn't have to bother with them. I haven't...

    Looking for a Gen IV, quick questions...

    Darn, I didn't see the thread until this week. I am selling my Viper which has some miles, 25K, but has not been wrecked and has a clean CarFax. If the OP was looking for a car that he can just drive this is the one. And it still has the factory warranty. Super secret You read the post price...

    Are people "dumping" their Vipers. What will happen to resale

    I just went and edited my current ad. It does feel like you are dumping the car when you are selling it at or below blue book. It seems a number of people can't get loans on cars valued over Blue Book. So, if you want to see a "Dumped" 2008 Coupe, check my ad

    Fail on ad for the only Graphite ACR I could afford :(

    I thought the ACR didn't look to bad for a toy. http://s.shld.net/is/image/Sears/004W022960450001 Whoever wrote the ad has a big fail though. Unless this is a Challenger I haven't seen before. Failed ad

    12 year old GTS-R still on the pace, photos!

    " but I don't see Dodge name on this Chrysler viper...What's up with that? " I thought the name in Europe was different. Dodge wasn't a brand there and Viper was reserved for something else, so it was called the Chrysler SRT-10 or something like that. that is if I remember what I had read...

    Motor Trend says 2013 will have the 6.4 V8

    To the poster that said high horse power cars will be a thing of the past hasn't looked at recent trends. A lot of cars are actually going up in Horse Power. It seems like if the auto has tons of HP and low gearing that it can get better MPG. Think of a 700HP Viper going 65 on the highway...

    Another What's its worth thread?

    With a sad and heavy heart :( I have decided now would be the best time to sell my 08, if I have any hope of saving up for a 2013. I say that because it's still under warranty which I think would be a good thing due to the higher miles. Anyway, after serious research and taking my head out of...

    New owner would have wrecked?

    I learned at an autocross that "I have more weight in my foot than my tires have stickiness." Meaning, a little too much gas will send you out of control, and usually quicker than you might think. It's the new drivers that are testing the limits as stated that find this information out the...

    Car FAX?

    Considering selling My Viper and wanted to have a carfax handy. Is there still a deal for club members? The instructions weren't too clear, a PayPal payment, then who do you send the VIN too? Thought I would post and get some clarity for the request. Thanks

    Viper stuck in the snow

    Wasn't there a poster on here last Xmas that was driving from Chicago to LA and wanted to go through the Rockies in Colorado? Everyone told him to head south and not take I-70. He didn't and ended up almost getting stuck going through the mountains and added 7 some hours to his trip?? I...

    New owner would have wrecked?

    I had one of those "Oh s....!" moments this morning and feel that if I had not had prior track time and some autocrosses the results could have been much worse. It was early in the morning and I found myself on a 3/4 - 1 mile stretch of road that went down then up so you could really see far...

    brakes squeaking more than normal.

    I will work on checking out the ebrake pads. I just did a search and can't seem to find a place to get them or the cost. Didn't see them at PartsRack. Only found an Ebay ad for Xvipers (PASS). Any ideas where to find the Ebrake Replacement Pads for Gen IV and cost?

    OMG What's that noise?

    Thank for all of the suggestions. I was able to jack up the front end to turn the wheel to see I could figure this out. After I got the car in the air, is when I found a big ball of wire hiding behind the tire. I don't ever remember seeing or running over the wire, but it was a pretty thick...

    brakes squeaking more than normal.

    I am having "extra" squeaking from the rear brakes lately. I just had the pads checked (60% left) and fluid flushed. I also did a track event in Hastings a couple of week ago. I have always had a little noise with the brakes as many have had, but it was light and at slow speeds like 15 or...

    OMG What's that noise?

    I'm driving home last night and all of a sudden it sounds like the fender just fell into the front passenger wheel. Really loud, rubbing scraping sort of sound that changes with speed. Luckily I was only going 30 and pulled over as soon as I could about 3 blocks. I get out and go and look...

    You might be a Redneck if .....

    "Love the wheelie bar on the hillbilly EZ chair!" That gave me the visual image of the 1st test run with an pudgy rotund dude in a red plaid shirt that has the arms cut off giving the EZ-Chair some gas and ending on his a$$. "That thing's dangerous! What you need is a wheelie bar right thar"

    What are the 2 switches to the left of the cigarette lighter on Gen I console?

    The cassette collection is coming right along. If I knew what ever happened to mine I would have sent them up. For 1992 you would need the Singles Soundtrack to add a little mix and variety.

    Any caravans planned from the Denver area? I am leaving work a little early and will head out at around 4pm. Wishing I could leave earlier, but just couldn't. Oh, and I am bringing the Wife for her Birthday to her 1st ever Track event. Hoping I can give her a ride of her life. (in the car...
