Re: Orange Coast Dodge won\'t repair $1400 scratch
Thanks for the great recommendations. Will never leave any car at a shop without a careful walk-around. Of course I have no proof that the scratch occurred at Orange Coast Dodge. If I did, I would have produced it to the dealer and, without...
Orange Coast Dodge won\'t repair $1400 scratch
I dropped my pristine 2004 Viper at Orange Coast Dodge for a routine oil change. Returned later to find a massive scrape on the passenger's fender and bumper. The service manager implied that since nobody saw the accident, they wouldn't repair...
I have been driving my supercharged 2004 every day for the past 3 months. I do enjoy it, rain or shine. Before that, it was a weekend toy...but sold the daily workhorse. Now I am not sure I would want to change back. As a daily driver, it works just fine. Tend to drive it slower, of course...
The comments about downshifting are well-taken. I suppose I have become complacent having 700 hp...it is usually no problem to pass any car. But that AMG was damn fast. Had I known how fast, I would have been in 4th to get up to the power band. Nevertheless, the car was closing and I think I...
Driving down 241 Toll Road in OC when a black CL55 AMG passes me in the Fast Trak lane. I am cruising at 80 in 6th gear and decide to do the usual...blast by this dude to intimidate him. After a downshift to 5th gear and WOT, I notice him pulling away from me. As the rpm's climb I am closing...
After the DC Performance computer reflash, the lean condition below 3500 rpm will be corrected. The A/F ration will be 11-12:1 throughout the RPM band. It results in a very smooth idle and lower rpm driving.
Does it strike anybody else as odd that original Viper SRT-10 road tests all documented 0-60 times of 3.9 seconds, and now all the tests against the Z06 report a 4.2 second time. I smell a rat. :mad:
Second gear with a 3.55 rear-end would be like first gear with a 2.40 ratio.
It would require more clutch slippage, but would be interesting to test against a first gear start.

Sorry to hear about your problem. I would suspect that one of the auxilliary fuel pumps has malfunctioned (despite the presence of current at the pump). That would account fot the car running fine at at light load when fuel demand is low. I would expect that if the ECM was...
I am a cardiologist, and I just can't see doing the am/pm commute to allow my car to sit at the hospital and have inconsiderate doctors ding my doors, or worse, park it at my office and have little old ladies with Lincoln Continentals back into the fender, as happened to my Audi S4 a few weeks...
I actually live in Crystal Cove, the development behind the shopping center. I have been down there a few times. Quite a collection, but you see tend to see the same Ferraris and Lambos every week. Let me know if you are going and I'll try to get up early. A couple of Black Supercharged Vipers...
