    Smart Glass Problem

    I have an '06 roadster that is having a problem with the driver's side window. It will go up and down but on the up cycle, the window rolls up all the way until you hear a ratcheting sound, then stops. At this poiint, the window is too high for me to close the door. Another problem I...

    Why we viper owners get the cold shoulder alot of times from other "sport" car owners

    Re: Why we viper owners get the cold shoulder alot of times from other "sport" car ow Had a similar experience earlier this month. I took my Viper to a car show that was hosted by a large automotive aftermarket ignition manufacturer. There were a lot of "older" muscle cars there and was...

    Failed Texas State Inspection

    Thought so too but from my experience with my Z06, it did not work. My Z06 was throwing a CEL for a faulty air check valve. I cleared the codes, drove it hard for 20 minutes and then took it for an emission inspection. It failed. The dealer told me they were surprised that it failed their...

    brakes squeaking more than normal.

    I experienced this problem on my '06. Ended up paying $144 for the e-brake pads at the dealership. I could not find them cheaper on Ebay. I also ended up replacing my rear rotors since the inner sides were scored. Wasn't cheap...they were Eurotek two-piece rotors that cost $600 for the pair.

    clear bra coverage area?

    Mine goes up to the bottom of the center hood intake. Anyone have feedback on how to do the backside of the sideview mirrors? When I purchased my kit, it came with two ovals that were for the mirrors but the installer had a helluva time with it due to the curvature of the sideview mirrors.

    Rear Noise on Sharp Turn

    You might want to check your emergency brake pads, especially the inner ones since they tend to wear out faster than the outer ones and cause similar noise you are describing. That is what happened to me but unfortunately, I did not catch it in time and had to replace the rear rotors as well.

    Went to a car meet..porshe guys not happy

    I went to a car show last month and took my Viper to it. No Porsches but a lot of Corvettes and a few Cobras. The Corvette guys/gals were pretty cool and we exhanged information but the Cobra guys were full of themselves. In the end, a lot of people flocked over to my Viper once I opened the...

    Need an Alignment?

    I found my rear shock absorber leaking and decided that for now, to replace it with a stock unit. I found one on Ebay that came off of a 2008 Viper for under $300. The dealership told me that a 4-wheel alignment was needed afterwards. I searched this forum and found most owners replaced...

    Stock Pad Replacement

    I live in El Paso, TX. Not many Viper owners, much less Viper performance shops. So the dealer is about the only place I can take it to. Fortunately, the dealer I took mine to has a certified Viper tech working there. His recommendation was to replace both rear rotors and pads. He did not...

    Stock Pad Replacement

    Thanks for the information. Since I am getting new rotors, I will get everything new so I can establish a good baseline. Then I will keep my eyes on the inner ebrake pad.

    OK... So I need to know how bad are viper really.

    Picked up an '06 Viper roadster six months ago and it is my DD replacement for the '01 Z06. The Viper makes the Z06 feel like a luxury car. The Viper is more of a raw sports car than the Z06. These are not a complaints, just observations. However, that is what makes a Viper a Viper and I...
