    Gen II motor mounts, trashed..

    So, exactly how are the design of the polybushings mounts superior to the Woodhouse mounts? The woodhouse mounts reportedly also have a failsafe retention system and they did work with SRT to develop them. Were the polybushings mounts tested on Vipers and tuned for the V10 idiosynchracies...

    leaking struts in TA models

    When discussing the '01-'02 ACR Dynamics Suspensions shocks, an engineer involved with the manufacturing company explained why their race shock was more susceptible to leaking due to design compromises for performance rather than seal longevity. Those shocks were never designed for consumer use...

    need new battery for 02 When, where why?

    My research revealed the Autozone Duralast Gold as one of the most recommended around the net with few negative reviews. (All batteries have some negative reviews.) Most will say, do not get Optima based on past history. If you want an AGM (non-liquid) than Sears Die Hard Platinum is highly...

    Im new - stupid question about different models

    You should open a window, LOL !!! It sure would be nice to have a thread that explains the different versions/options of the Gen V as a sticky at the top of that forum. I can't say that I know what makes a track pack or on what cars it was optional, or that you can get this hood as an...

    Another rod bearing failure. This one was bought back by Chrysler!

    It does apparently have the whizz bang electronic dash display and other electronic doodads like the Euro cars have , plus leather all over the place. Who the heck are they trying to market this car to? _________________________________________________ Jim – ‘02 GTS ACR gray/silver -- sold –...

    MotoIQ.com - Project Viper GTS: Pt 1 - History & Intro

    A nice online accessible history of the car. I will look in again to see what they do to the car. Wondering whether it will be the "standard" mods, or something radical.

    transmission option?

    Woodhouse did a conversion for a Viper crazy guy who was missing some necessary appendages needed to operate a manual. It was VERY expensive. Some others apparently have also. http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/530452-automatic

    no more viper (no more sports car for me)

    Careful there. You are messing with your karma !! You may be technically correct; but, it can get to the point where it is not worth enduring the pain. (I am starting to get hints of those kind of issues at a much younger age than I expected.)

    Another rod bearing failure. This one was bought back by Chrysler!

    No, there is no electronic level indicator or warning. There have been posts that warn that when you check the oil level, make sure that you note the level on BOTH sides of the dipstick, not just the side with the level indicator markings. Use the lower level as the actual level. Keep the...

    New Owner ACR-X

    Yes there is definitely a possible issue with clutches; but, what you have is most probably the upgraded replacement. I would verify that with Toddy Gomez to be certain. I do not know the specific history. My input is only as a result of reading a thread on the subject...

    And another Gen5 is off the market, a happy New Year to me.

    i.e., essentially a used car with low miles and a myriad of owners but a full factory warranty. :smirk:

    Another rod bearing failure. This one was bought back by Chrysler!

    I think that it is admirable to compile and post how many vehicles have had similar failures so that the word can be spread. However, I have seen nothing that would remotely suggest that getting lawyers involved in a class action lawsuit is warranted. I understand that you must feel that you...

    Gen 4 front tow bar warning

    A great opportunity for you to design and market a new product for the Viper community ! The existing tow hook is probably just some Viper owner's concept of what was adequate. There is always a better, or differently focused design to anything, given the time, knowledge, and money to...

    Missing / Stolen Radiators

    So, your point is that it was a good idea for the vendor to post here, no matter what the motive. In the end, the post serves to protect the Viper owners who paid for them. Although some think that a thread for that was a terrible idea, it doesn't seem so bad to me.

    Tire DOT missed??

    Mainly just bad road holding and the speed rating would no longer be valid. Tire failure would happen at lower speeds and/or shorter duration than the rated speed. If I could see cracking in the tire rubber, then I would be concerned about immediate replacement. Because of the Viper's high...

    2015 Dodge Viper GT for 85k

    Good idea. Arizona has no sales tax on a private party used car sale. That is the way to go. I don't know how this law got passed. There is no incentive for state legislators to eliminate tax income without enormous pressure from the voters, which would be hard to muster in this situation.

    Tire DOT missed??

    The number is only on one side of the tire. On directional tires, one side of the car will have that side out and the other will not.

    Show us your garage!

    Awesome; but scary! I've never seen anyone hang a boat and trailer from the ceiling before! I've done that to store the aluminum hardtop to a Land Rover; but, he has taken it to a whole different extreme. Shows what a guy will do to optimize available garage space.

    Heritage vs Fast, Faster, and Fastest

    I like the OP's post. The big difference between the stock Gen V and the Z06 is more about if you want to be known for being fastest for a few seconds or for 20 minutes at a time. The Viper engineers seem to have chosen wisely, IMHO.

    Got my batmobile!!

    There are several threads on the forums about some Gen V Vipers using a lot of oil in their early life. If I were a new owner, I would check the oil level at every fill up for a few thousand miles, and keep it at the full line. I don't know what your situation is with warranty support; but, I...

    Tyre bible...

    Thanks for the link ! On a side note; your post and the linked article made me wonder why the Brits spell the word as tyre instead of tire like us Americans do. My experience has been that it is the Americans that are the linguistic deviants, However, according to a wikipedia article, in...
