For days now, post after post, talking about problems with the Viper, water leaks, trunk, tail light, clutch....So you want to send a message to DC ? Easy, just don't buy their cars !!! Trust me, they'll hear you loud and clear.
I feel bad for everyone having problems with their cars, but lets give the other side of the Viper, you know the good one,the one that made you buy it in the first place, an equal chance. I bought my Viper for the speed, power and looks and it delivers every day, nothing less and nothing more. Most of us buy vipers as a second car, a weekend car, a toy to have fun with, expensive toy, but you would need an expensive toy for all the hard and fast driving it goes through. Biggest complement for the Viper, is the fact most of us here bought it again. If you want a great mileage car, buy a Saturn, want reliability buy German, want a sleep aid, buy a corvette, want to feel alive buy a VIPER... :usa: :2tu:

Just got my second Viper from Bill yesterday, I went through the usual Dodge quality pains with the first one, but it sure didn't stop me from getting another one. Everytime I sit in the seat, I forget about any complaints I may have had. :2tu: :headbang:

I wonder how many of us are second time Viper owners, and how many first time owners would do it again ?
I would and I did !! ;)

How long til they bring it back NO MERCY? Are you able to sleep? I cant sleep right now...debating to modify a fairly rare care or modify it and enjoy it regardless. As others have mentioned, we should feel lucky to have the cars we have!!

My first GTS had pages and pages of problems. Luckily my dealer experience was fantastic, and we worked our way through all the issues.

My 03 has been as trouble free as anyone could have hoped. Just get in it and drive. This generation is heads and shoulders ahead of the previous cars in quality.

While it seems that each year has its own issues, beginning in 92. It is obvious that someone at Viper cares about making a better product every year. I have had the pleasure to speak with some of the SRT guys, and they have a dedication that is rare in automobile manufacturing.

go golfing. It is the fastest golf cart on the planet. :2tu:

Awesome experience for me as well!

MY MAMBA ROCKS!

....and so have ALL of these:

'95 RT/10 - Great way to learn what REAL Torque is all about
'96 GTS - Need I say more?
'00 Black/Silver GTS - Cover of GM High Performance Mag - Viper Z06 shootout (and the VIPER won... of course! 11.98 in 98 degree, 92% humidity weather)
'01 Red/Silver GTS - SWEET!
'03 Silver SRT-10 - Trouble free!
'04 MAMBA SRT-10 - Trouble free once again!

Jason Heffner has told me plan for 3 months and hope for two. I CAN sleep though. This whole modification thing is becoming old hat. I'll get excited a few weeks from delivery ... I learned that lesson a few cars back. :D :D

No Mercy....Did you take note of the fact that Jason is currently installing a twin Turbo on a Gallardo? You can just ship the Gallardo back when the SRT is delivered!

I actually helped put Wayne and Jason together ... yes my Lambo will get a Turbo conversion as well. Next winter. :2tu:
