    Gen V wheels fitting Gen IV viper?

    I have Gen 5 wheels on my Gen 4. The tire sizes are stock Gen 4 sizes and the wheel and tire are pretty much flush with the fenders. With that said, if you need tires I think you’ll have to buy stock sizes otherwise the tire will either rub the fender when the suspension is doing its thing or...

    Doug Shelby Engineering - Battery Cover

    Thanks for the write-up Steve. If that's not reason enough for everyone to buy one of these battery covers I don't know what is. Per my email with Doug at DSE, this was the first product they produced for the Gen III & IV as they saw it was clearly a weak point. They're definitely a bit on...

    Doug Shelby Engineering - Battery Cover

    I recently installed a battery tender hookup and recall it being a total nightmare unscrewing the battery cover in the trunk. If you haven't had the pleasure of unscrewing this thing, let me tell you, you're in for a treat. Not entirely sure why a metal plate requires 5 bolts that could secure...

    2006 Dodge Viper Coupe 38k miles

    It’s just you. Me saying you were a little high was me being sarcastic, you’re very high. The price you’re demanding equates to a non-wrecked car with 20k fewer miles. Even then I’d say that’s generous for a Gen 3. A 2008 coupe is a Gen 4 whereas a 2006 is a Gen 3. Gen 4’s are more desirable...

    2010 Viper SRT10 Coupe f/s - Rare tan Nappa leather

    Very odd about the paint, never seen anything like that. It looks like air bubbles underneath the PPF or defects on the PPF.

    2006 Dodge Viper Coupe 38k miles

    The most recent sale on BAT for a 2006 coupe with 14k fewer miles and no accident history was 69k. I think you’re a little high. Spend $99 on BAT and let the market decide its value if you’re trying to get rid of it. You can always set a reserve.

    2010 Viper SRT10 Coupe f/s - Rare tan Nappa leather

    Have you considered Bring-a-Trailer? 2010’s don’t come on the market too often and they generally do very well.

    Gen 5 rims/tires on a Gen 3

    I honestly do not know as I didn’t do the install. Next time the wheels are off I’ll update this. But bottom line, Gen V sidewinders fit just fine with Gen IV OEM tires sizes.

    Gen 5 rims/tires on a Gen 3

    I have Gen V sidewinder wheels on my 2008 in stock 2008 OEM sizes. Fits just fine, doesn’t look stretched at all.

    New Gen IV owner - Looking for shop

    I haven't reached out to JonB yet but have heard he's a good source through other threads here, and I think he's actually local to me. But from the posts I've read he opts for a larger 285 width tire for the front and I don't think that's going to work for me. I have Gen V Sidewinder wheels and...

    Steering?

    I'm pretty sure all cars have a little bit play in the steering wheel when the car is shut off, I just tried in my Mercedes and there is about an inch of play (and this play has no effect on wheel movement). I remember as a child I was playing in my fathers car in the garage and I tried my...

    AMSOIL vs MOPAR (Transmission Fluid)

    I have a 2008 and I strictly followed the guidance of products to use in my owners manual for all fluids. I was unsure when all the fluids in the car (other than motor oil) was changed last so I had all the fluids flushed for peace of mind a few weeks ago. Why not stick to what the owners...

    Door Hinge Maintenance (Gen 3 & 4)

    Thanks for the write-up. I’m not having these issues but it’s good to know it’s an easy fix if these ever happens. I wonder how many door operation cycles it takes for that coating to peel off…..
