Ok, I wont quote Robbie, because its going to honest to god look like I am trolling that guy. I really have no problem with him as a person, but some of this CRAP he says is INSANE.. So believe Robbie if you like, but I have bought 3 vipers, have had them ALL worked on under warranty, and have never had a problem. Here is what I have busted, and replaced FREE under warranty, after MANY agressive driving activities:
1. engine (complete rebuild by Arrow racing)
2. Transmission (new replacement)
2.5 Motor Mount (both sides)
3. all four corner shocks (ACR shocks, replaced sometimes more then once)
4. Seat (drivers seat showed cracks)
5. Water pump
5.5 Tie Rods
6. Power steering hoses
7. Alternator
8. half shafts (4 different times)
9. Wheel hubs (2)
10. Radio
11. Center console bezel
12. Foot Rest (srt-10 convert)
13. Speaker (srt-10 convert)
13.5 Tire Pressure Monitoring system computer (srt-10 convert)
14. Gas cap (srt-1o coupe)
15. Wheel (srt-10 convert)
16. Screws (srt-10 coupe)
17-1,000,000 all the other little sheet I cant remember that they covered under warranty. And as an added bonus, they let me have a NEON every time as a ******, until my car was ready
(BTW, I have never heard of rotors being covered per the original posters question, so you wear them down, along with the clutch, and its just part of normal maintenance that you own)
Dodge Rocks, when it comes to supporting these cars. ITs NOTHING like the crap the borvette or rustang guys have to deal with, which I have seen 1st hand while dropping friends off with those cars at their respective dealerships, just to be told certain items that Dodge covered for me, they would not be covering for them on their cars.
I dont believe robbies crap about people getting warranties voided on the vipers for putting them on the track. Dodge builds them for us to run them !!
End of story.
PROUDLY have bought 3 vipers new from dodge, and dont see my love afair ending any time soon !!
