    What is the vouvher registration total after day #2? WOW!

    Hello; Based on Jon B's report of six hundred some by internet registration, and another two hundred or so by fax or phone, does it look like the 03' is about sold out after today? If production is rumoured to be around 1500-2000 Vipers (by what I have been reading here) we must be getting...

    WHO WANTS A BLACK 2003, LOOK HERE!

    Hello; I am all for the SILVER, myself, but Black would be awesome. I live in the country, so washing it would be a full time job with a Black Viper. I do think Black should be offered for you folks who want it, and there seem to be quite a few. I hope that the new Silver will be an...

    What was the 03' registration total for the opening day?

    What was the 03\' registration total for the opening day? Hello; I found registering was much easier than I expected. I am very excited to see some real factory pics at this point, and the real MSRP. It would seem to me that by the wonderful reporting that Joe Houss has done today that there...

    Could someone please post factory authorized pic's of the 03' colors?

    Could someone please post factory authorized pic\'s of the 03\' colors? Hello; I know Joe Houss has done his best with the photoshop, and he posted 3 pics. Unfortunately, I was not able to open them. Maybe it's time to give up my beloved Apple G4 and go PC. It can be frustrating! Anyway, I...

    Car lifts...which brand is best quality and easy to use?

    Hello; I looked into this lift thing two years ago, and didn't get around to actually buying one. I believe the brand was something like "Doublepark". The unit literature seemed like it was fairly easy to use. I want to buy one that is the easiest, quickest, and most secure to use...

    Stopping distance improvement of ABS Vipers over non-ABS?

    Hello; Thanks for the ABS responses. I wish the mags had written something about the improvements mentioned in your posts. It seems like I am not the only one who never saw any write-ups on it. I sure like the ABS on my 01' compared to my 98'. Seems like you all appreciate it as well. I bet...

    Aluminum Flywheel Questions

    Deadman; I enjoyed your flywheel comments. I too have really considered this flywheel mod. Your comments on the parking lot "bucking" made alot of sense considering that the throttle response should be more instantaneous. It must respond to the slightest touch at those low rpm's. Was there...

    Stopping distance improvement of ABS Vipers over non-ABS?

    Hello; I checked the mags, but never did see a review of an 01' Viper with ABS showing the real world improvement. I own a 2001'RT, and have owned a 98' RT. The ABS feels hugely safer, and feels like it stops much shorter. Any stats on the comparison? Thanks! Jim

    Modded SRT/10

    Craig 201mph; The Targa top I was referring to was the soft folding kind with snap in place braces like the 911 Targa came with. REALLY easy to install, and secure. Like I said before, this concept would give us a great rain-top, give us back the roll-bar, and still accept a molded...

    Modded SRT/10

    Hello; As a fellow Viper owner I would like to say that I too miss the rollbar on the new VGX. Before you flame me for what I am about to suggest, please think about it first! BEFORE I owned Vipers, I owned and loved Porsche 911's. yes, all that has changed! However, it doesn't take a...

    Some 03' suggestions for the folks at Viper...

    Re: Some 03\' suggestions for the folks at Viper... Fellow Viper enthusiasts; I apologise for MY sarcastic response to some responses to my post on "03' Suggestions". I should have realised as I pressed the "Post" button, that my desire for a programmable garage door opener would sound...

    Some 03' suggestions for the folks at Viper...

    Re: Some 03\' suggestions for the folks at Viper... To those of you with the negative attitude; What gives? I don't want a dang Vette! Yes I want more horsepower, no, I don't want an auto tranny. I would greatly appreciate a simple, programmable remote opener though. So why the attitude...

    Some 03\' suggestions for the folks at Viper... Hello to anyone at Viper; I am a current 01' RT-10 owner. I have also owned a 98' Silver RT-10. I have been to the factory, and love my Viper! My name is on a wait list with my local dealer for the 03' Roadster. I have a couple of requests...

    Hello out there; Unseasonably warm weather here in Iowa today, (almost 80 degrees in November) and I am wondering when to winterize and put the Viper in it's bubble with battery tender, etc. If I do the mobile I and filter change now, can I continue to drive it if the weather holds? Will I...

    Any guesses as to mods for the future 03?

    Hello; I am curious as to whether or not the 03' will come with K&N's, good headers, etc. I know that there is a lightweight flywheel in the 03', but I am really wondering what goodies we will be able to upgrade! Oh, I almost forgot... I hope D/C will put a programmable remote garage door...

    Winter Storage Questions

    Ray; I really advise the "Car Capsule" by PDK. This is the inflateable bubble that protects the entire Viper. It costs about $350. I used it first time for storage last year to keep out the MICE! The little @#@# got into my wifes Audi and made a mess. I don't think you need to go too...

    Where can I get the American flag decals for my Viper?

    If anyone has a phone number to buy these decals I would appreciate it. I get the impression that maybe the proceeds go to victims or charity? Regardless, I would like to get some. Do they cause any paint concerns/ removability problems down the road? Thanks! Jim Wallace

    Big feet= tight pedal distance between throttle/brake..Solutions?

    Greetings; Yes, I have size twelve flat feet. The problem is unintentional touching of the brake pedal and/or simultaneous unintentional braking when I stomp on the gas! Is there an easy adjustment or aftermarket pedal/pedals that would give me more space? My Viper is an 01' RT-10, it runs...

    Warranty Service Denied - Options?

    Slaughterj; You did say your Viper was a 98' but you didn't mention if you had the extended warranty. If not, were you denied because of the service problem you described, or because the warranty had expired? It doesn't take long to be out of warranty considering how few miles are usually on...

    Re: Need advice on parading \"large\" Labor Day queen on RT/Rollbar! Hello again; Thanks for the current suggestions! Glad to know that your bars or "sportcaps" (as I believe it is really called) haven't collapsed. I KNOW others of you out there will be driving in similar parades tomorrow...

    Need advice on parading \"large\" Labor Day queen on RT/Rollbar! Hello; My wife will bw driving the 01' RT/10 in a small town Labor Day parade tommorow. The "Queen" is a larger size gal, and she wants to sit on the rollbar. OK, here are my questions: 1. Should the removable window be in...

    Anybody put carbs on a Viper? Just curious...

    I am a Viper owner and have no intention of doing carbs. I am just curious, because in my days of owning Porsche's in the 80's it was a popular improvement. The throttle response was just instant, and was great if well adjusted. What is the opinion? Never read anything about carbs here, so I...

    Are 3.73 rear gears too much for a '96 RT/10?

    Re: Are 3.73 rear gears too much for a \'96 RT/10? Viperprowler1; Don't do the .373 rears. I put .355's on my 98' and really enjoyed them around town. There is more wheelspin, you will need a speedometer recalibration computer, and be prepared to burn tires up faster. The choice is yours of...

    Wife blew my woofer! Replacement suggestions? (not wife)

    Hello out there; Yep, I let the wife go for a drive to the movies with her girlfriend. They must have been blasting the stereo pretty good, and the woofer is now making that flappy, slappy, flatulant sound they make when they have been fried! What is a better direct size upgrade woofer for my...

    2000 Vipers are no creampuffs

    Smackie Chan; I forgot to mention in my post that the performance on my 01' felt so good that I did not bother to change the rear-end gears like on my 98'; I only did tubes, K&N's and the Mopar exhaust. Matter of fact; the 01' pleased me so much that I questioned my tech as to whether he...
