    K & N FILTER KIT DYNO RESULTS (pic)

    Thanks for the detailed testing Chris! I have an IMPORTANT question: Is there any protection from RAIN provided by the K&N set-up? Did you remove the "rain flap" that hangs down in the hood air scoop? Is there any "run-off chanelling" provided in the new K&N design? If not, should...

    SRT/"Carbon" questions...does it have rollbar,etc?

    SRT/\"Carbon\" questions...does it have rollbar,etc? Hello; I am stoked about this "Carbon" SRT-10! The Graphite/Silver color combo is funky.. maybe PVO just wanted to "show" the Carbon fiber? I doubt PVO would expect to sell the "Carbon" with that actual look. As several here have said...

    C6 looks like SRT 10 latest spy pics!

    cratica; Opinions will vary. I have owned 2 RT-10's and now an SRT-10. I love the looks of the SRT! I find the SRT superior in every aspect of the driving experience. Sure, I loved the GEN II. The Gen II just had to have a re-design to go to the next performance level. According to the...

    My annual "Viper Vermin Alert"

    My annual \"Viper Vermin Alert\" A chilly hello from Iowa; Yep, it's time for the Mice, Rats, etc to start seeking out the comforts of our garages and the CRITTERS LOVE WARM VIPER ENGINES TO NEST ON! From my experience, the top of the engine is "the place" for them to make a nest. Then...

    DCX "Super Viper SRT-10" at Sema in Nov.

    Re: DCX Hello! WOW, this is what I always hoped D/C would offer us! I have said for a long time that Viper/PVO was missing a lot of profit by not offerring OPTIONS we could order. It takes (for me anyway) 6 months or more to get a Viper when I order one (I'm on my 3rd now). Built...

    Straight from PVO! Headlight Flickering Details.

    OK; Got to be one of three things I think. 1. I had 3,ooo miles on the ODO when lights flickered. I think alot of owners reported this symptom almost simultaneously. How many owners experienced this light phenomena at/or around 3K of driving the SRT? Potential cause theory (mine): In 3K...

    Flickering lights

    Hello; Yes! I happened for the first time last night, freaked me out. I have 3,500 miles on my SRT and have never had a problem until this. I ried blipping repeatedly from low to high beams and the lights would be "dim" in-between clicks. It appeared that the "shutter" in the lens was...

    Got a nail in my run flat

    Hello; I ordered a set of HRE wheels with sensors and Michelins already mounted (by HRE) before my SRT was delivered. This had 3 major benefits to me: 1. By installing the new wheels/sensors/tires, I have my original wheels/tires ready to go as spares/track set-up! 2. I like the looks of...

    Mopar Accessory Question

    Yes and Yes. The steering wheel radio controls keep your hands on the wheel instead of trying to read the diplay in the sun (almost impossible with polarized sunglasses). This ain't sissy, it's safety. Same for the cruise if you want it as an option. It's mighty easy to have the speedo read...

    DUMP CLUTCH AT 5,000 RPMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Torquemonster and Allanlambo; Torqe: I AGREE 100% about Dodge missing an important and factual advertising opportunity. MotorTrends "Speeding" issue showed the Viper kicking ass on every test but the short slalom against anything under what... 150K? The Mosler being in the test, non...

    Has anbody done a lightweight flywheel on their SRT? What do you think?

    Hello; This mod intrigues me because of the quicker rev benefits; however, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.. correct? So, lighter flywheel= quicker revs and response Lighter flywheel MAY (I don't know for sure)= less inertia which = more throttle in order to get...

    What are the pros/cons of changing to lightweight flywheel in SRT?

    Hello; Obviously the lighter flywheel would make for quicker revs/throttle response. Sounds good so far, right? Well, a lighter flywheel would also equal less inertia when you let out the clutch in first gear for example. Even though we enjoy incredible torque in our SRT's (or any Viper)...

    The competition is moving very fast.

    Lets not forget; The SRT and the Zo6 Vette are incredible bargains, American made and easily maintainable! When motor trend did the "speeding" issue comparo, the SRT whooped a#$ on anything under $200K! Imagine what an accomplishment this is for Viper. God, just imagine what PVO could offer...

    Why can't the valve affected VIN #'s be listed on the web page?

    Re: Why can\'t the valve affected VIN #\'s be listed on the web page? Hello; In my opinion, I would like to see a list of the VIN's affected. My Silver #332 was built in December, and delivered in January; I love this Viper! People are way too worried about the "value depreciation...

    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    Viper SRT; I actually was being serious about the "Bucking" thing! I have felt this so many times when I accelerate with moderate aggression, shift to second, and then try to maintain a steady speed. It seems that maybe my gas foot is touching the pedal (gas) when the engine is in a "sweet...

    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    Viper SRT; Well, here goes revised opinion #2. Yesterday is was 87 degrees in Iowa, and I think I experience this bog thing for the first time. It eas subtle in my car. I did not have any backfire, but it still felt unusual. Could it be temperature related? Maybe the fuel/air ratio being...

    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    Helo; Folks, I think we have here a case of the "buckin' Bronco" sydrome! The SRT is my third new Viper. The throttle is sensitive to 500hp and massive torque. We accelerate, and by shifting imperfectly we start bucking; weight of our bodies (in particular, the right foot) presses and we are...

    HELP! Sidesills getting sandblasted from front tires! 3M film available?

    Hello; Yep, I was afraid of this from the moment I got my SRT. My SRT was up on my lift yesterday for polishing and clay cleaning when I noticed how bad it was getting by the front tires. I thought it was salt deposit or water scale at first and tried claying the area; I could not remove...

    MGW Shift Knob Choice

    Ron; I purchased the very first MGW "round knob" for the SRT from MGW. It was a nice improvement. I recently ordered and installed the "pistol Grip" Race knob from MGW, and I find it FAR SUPERIOR to me in making accurate, easy shifts. I vote for the "Pistol Grip", because I own both for my...

    Changes for 2004?

    Hello; An integrated "track approved" rollbar. 5 point harness belts. The folding top would still work as it now does. I suppose the rollbar and 5-points could be offered as an option, so as not to raise the MSRP too much. I think we should be offered "option packages" by PVO. Why not have...

    Motor Trend High speed shootout 2003-SRT10 represents

    Hello; Thank God that a magazine (using a REAL PRO) is finally giving the SRT it's due credit! I have been excited about the SRT from the beginning, and now that I have put 2,000 miles on the SRT I can't believe how much better it is in every way to me! Those of us who wanted the SRT had to...

    Lo Tire lite?

    Hello; The run-flat tire sensors are "re-set" with a magnet that looks like a donut. It takes only seconds per tire. I purchased the very first set of aftermarket wheels (HRE) from Parts Rack, and it took time to get the sensors to HRE to have them built in to the wheels and the identical...
