    New from Hagerty: Viper Prices Are Falling

    Its a built-in defense system. The car crashes - A) it was the Drivers fault, prove otherwise, 2) It was the Softwares fault, prove otherwise, C) It was the Hardwares fault prove otherwise, D) It was the Vehicle Manufacturers, E) It was the Satellite/GPS's fault, F) It was DOTs fault...

    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    That recommendation is for the Magnum V10, not the Viper V10. Two different creatures.

    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    According to their site, a Purolator filters have two pressure relief ratings basic 12-18 and "Boss" 20 - 30psi. I find that hard to believe, (most filters, even Frams run at least 85psi) but if it is so, then with the Viper hot engine temp of 50-70psi putting a "Boss" Purolator filter is...

    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    Yeah, I saw that video too. The new AC models are REALLY disappointing, but i think what bothers me way more is Wix's current customer service. They were significantly more forthcoming about their products in the past, but now its all a complete brush-off. They are taking the stance that they...

    Insurance Question

    PHLY automatically raised my Collectors Agreed Value on the Viper $10,000 and lowered my 2025 bill by $14 - $378/y to $364 for 2026. On the other 10 cars my Nationwide bill went from $6124 to $8803/yr...

    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    Thats interesting because up until recently Mobil did not recommend their filters for the Viper because of the Valve Pressure being too low. It only changed about five years ago. I am waiting for them to get back with me on confirmation but they will not put into writing the M1-204 is a...

    New from Hagerty: Viper Prices Are Falling

    Careful, Ive been saying that here for years now and there are many people here who are very mad at me for even implying it. This Tulip Bubble was created when the Home Equity market exploded and retiring Gear Heads could suddenly get $500,000 loans for 2% interest. Of course, why not. The...

    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    Yeah, both Chrysler and Wix are playing the "talk to the other guy" game and will not respond directly to my questions on this issue. Wix is claiming they are building the new filters to Chrysler "recommendations" and Chrysler is saying there has been no changes to the filter at all. Still...

    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    It absolutely does. Guys like Tator, JonB, Sawyer, Savakinas, and Havik will all... at the VERY least will physically look at the filters before they ship them out. There is a good chance that the retailers will have them shipped directly to you through a network of people they dont even talk...

    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    Gotta back Steve on this one - since the SRT8 crowd has jumped on the Viper Filter bandwagon there has been ALOT of counterfeits circulating on the mass-retail sites. Wix did just make a run on the real filters about a month ago - several of my sources have gotten shipments in recently, but i...

    Looking for advice on selling a branded title 2003 Viper

    Really? It looks like youd have plenty of space for a 4-post behind that post. Might have to come in on a bit of an angle, but small price to pay for the glory that is an indoor lift!

    Looking for advice on selling a branded title 2003 Viper

    The Branded Title is pretty much insignificant considering its a Red 2003 with mods. Like others have said, losing the stripes and wing might help, but even if it did we're talking pennies not decimal points. Might not even be worth the risk of damage. Be honest with what you know, youre not...

    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    Dont be. M1 and Wix XP filters are perfectly acceptable in a pinch. Was the OEM a 05037836AB or 05037836AC model? Ive been trying to contact Wix but they have not replied - seems like the new AC version is a significant downgrade over the AA and AB parts. Whats interesting is that the Hemi SRT...

    How much of a financial “burden” has your GTS been?

    Also keep in mind two things A) my purchase price was very, very low, 2) my repair costs were way way high - both for the same reason... But even in this condition i drove her home AND i would drive her cross country today if it were reasonable. These cars are very tough and easy to work on if...
