    To sell or not to sell

    Drive that sweet Viper and enjoy it. I've got 24K miles and counting on my '03. Never part with it!

    Oil pressure - is 70-80psi normal?

    '03 here. Similar comment to first response. Owned the vehicle for about 6 years now, always running 'high' on the gauge, almost pinging it. Does seem to lower in the 50-60 range when hot and at idle. I really don't think you have a problem. That is just the way the Viper runs. High...

    I destroyed a Hellcat

    Yes Sir. Thanks Free. Like the Viper, hardly turn on the radio --just when my little girls are in the back seat:)

    I destroyed a Hellcat

    Thanks Bob! Yes, the 8 speed (in paddle shift + track mode) is absolutely amazing. I did get nailed (in the Viper though) by one of those 2 door spec-v caddy's. It was OBVIOUSLY heavily modified b/c A) he literally did a U-turn and chased me down and B) he walked me like I was standing...

    I destroyed a Hellcat

    Good post Free. Think the Hellcat owner just couldn't put the power down. I own both. A Gen III and a Hellcat (Charger). Off the line the Hellcat (stock 275s) is damn near impossible to get to hook up. Launch control helps though. Just too much power. Let my brother take the Gen III...

    Congrats! Amazing how many trips here and there you will come up with (excuses to drive it). After 5 years of owning mine IT NEVER gets old to drive this car.

    Advice: Looking for a Gen III/IV, question about higher mileage

    Good advice above. At 22K miles on my '03 Gen III, a good 'list' to note/check PRIOR to purchasing: Prepare yourself on both Door Regulators on a Gen III. (A matter of time and $350/each). Also, as mentioned, oil cooler lines seeping and power steering lines (check for leakage). Lastly, I...

    IT'S OFFICIAL!!... bye bye VIPER :(

    "If your dad only knew":) I love my Gen III w/22K miles. I take VERY good care of it and drive it every weekend I can. (Had 4K in '11 when I bought it.) Some Vipers are just so rare/nice, I'm sure the owners hardly ever drive them OR have several vipers and drive/track them---when they...

    New member with maintenance question

    Great advice above. I have an '03 purchased in '11 w/3900 miles on it. Now 22K, love driving it. It had no service documentation, so 'no taking chances.' Replaced all fluids and new spark plugs as well. Who knows how little my car was driven/or sat in a garage. Also, yes, check those...
