    2006 Viper with a lifter tick

    Normal. Stealership opinion on point. This concerned me as well. Like you I reached out to people and got the same answers from friends. The stealership wanted to replace the engine LOL. I've dropped over 5k miles in 8 months. Car got smoother and quieter likely due to actually getting driven.

    Daily driving

    I had a similar experience with my 06 I got that had 23k miles. The original gas mightve been old, but after a couple tanks the car got a lot better. Also an fresh oil change made the engine a lot smoother too. I got it Septemer 30th last year...I'm sitting at 27.5k miles now and counting...

    04 Srt wont start

    When I first got my 06 Viper it had 23k original miles back in September. At the beginning it kinda behaved like this with rough starting...and even the valve train was a little loud though within normal parameters. The more I drove it the better it started and the smoother the engine got. The...

    Front Licence Plate Holder?

    That cops personal opinion isn't reality. Cops of course will vary because they are people just like us. Most Definitely you will get pulled over for no front plate if a cop wants to pull you over for it. Some cops love to do that, some don't care because it's a Viper, so there is some truth...

    Front Licence Plate Holder?

    Mine was the same. Status never updated...it just showed up right when I emailed about it. Worth the wait IMO.

    On the road flat tire!

    I had this exact thing play out on my first sunday drive in my Viper. I had to run and get a sticky plug kit from autozone, and air it up because it would not hold air. The plug didn't leak and eventually I replaced to two front tires, sux cuz all 4 of the tires were new and I didn't want to...

    New front tires 275/40/18?

    So I can see where my rear tires have kissed the inner fender liner as well. I also discovered my car has coilovers. Still learning more about this particular car, its all part of the fun.

    tranny issues

    Now I've only had my Viper two weeks...I have yet to experience this..but this was a common issue on a lot of my manual cars. Sometimes I'd just shift it to first clutch out and let the car bump forward a tiny bit and then it would go into reverse no problem.

    2004 white mamba car cover

    So the cover I got with my car looks exactly like that, of course minus the cool Mamba bag. I've been trying to figure out if it's an indoor or outdoor or both cover.

    What is normal Valve train noise?

    Good deal. I assume the car is stock from all I could tell. I'm still digging into the car as I bought it from a dealer and not an owner. It's nice when you can get info from a previous owner.
