    I am thinking Stripes again; Reverse Bumblebee?

    Graphite on black, I think that's the color combo Ralph Gilles has on his ACR.

    Too Many Dealers?

    I guess I just don't get it. . Chrysler and GM keep complaining that they have too many dealers. I just don't understand the argument. Maybe some-one can explain. More dealers=more places people can shop for the manufacturers products. How is this a problem for the manufacturers? If these...

    Snake oyl cruise control, who has it?? Group buy???

    Yes, the description on their web site states: Developed in conjunction with Chrysler, our cruise control system uses a remote transmitter and requires no wiring inside the car. Controlled with a pre-programmed, computerized actuator under the hood, the only part that enters the drivers...

    Snake oyl cruise control, who has it?? Group buy???

    I have it and it works well. Not exactly as good as a factory installed system, but for me I am glad I added it. Not the easiest thing to install with poor installation directions. If you are not that handy there is no way you should attempt to install this item. The ad in the magazine makes...

    Roe Blower? Sean?

    Here is a related question regarding supercharing stock normally aspirated engines. I notice that when a company offers a stock s/c, the normally aspirated version of the same engine has a higher compression ratio than the s/c version. THis is true for the Jag XF as well as the ZR1...

    Sub-Woofer Questions

    I have a blown sub woofer in my 06. I am either going to take it back to the dealer under warranty or replace with upgraded subwoofers. My question is, are both speakers in the center consol subwoofers or is one an active subwoofer and the other passive? Also, what JL Audio Subwoofer would...

    Did you buy brand new for your first Viper?

    My first was a 2001 used GTS that I bought in 2004. When they bought Viper GTS Blue back for the 06 coupe I could not resist. My personaly taste, I loved the GTS exterior lines, but really enjoy driving a Gen III much better.

    Valvoline synpower claims 4X better protection than Mobil One

    All I can say is that I have 230,000 miles on my Lexus V8 engine and it does not burn or use any oil between changes. I change the oil every 5000 miles with Mobil 1. It can't be too bad.

    GM Chrysler merger?

    This merger makes absolutely no sense. GM just killed Oldsmobile. The last thing they need are three more brands. Dogde Competes directly with Chevy and Chrysler and Jeep compete with its' other brands. Plus, GM has no money to do this.

    Viper sale update

    Well I just ordered a Jaguar XF Supercharged, now both my cars could be Tata Motors. Who would have thunk it!!!

    This makes me sick.

    I assume if some-one buys the Viper brand they would buy it to invest in the brand and keep it going and improving it. That is a better alternative than Chrysler just killing it off due to it's current financial situation.

    Yes, we are #1

    Right, but the cost for tires is under repairs not maintenance. They have $8000 worth of maintenance. Just doesn't make sense.

    Yes, we are #1

    This article just makes no sense to me, what would you possibly spend $8000 on over a 5 year period on? Say you drive 12,000 miles a year. Over a 5 year period you wind up changing the oil and grease ball joints 20 times, change the rear diff oil say 2 or 3 times, air filter twice, new...

    Where/How to mount the IPOD Integration Control Box

    I used velcro and mounted it in the glove box. I mounted it vertically against the back side in the glovebox and the wire harness goes out the top and into the center dash. This way, it is easily accessible in case I have to replace it. Good luck with you rinstall. The product works...

    royal purple eng oil in 08?

    Considering Mobil 1 is recommended by Dodge for the Viper, that's what I use. I have used Mobil 1 in my 2000 Lexus GS400 and 210,000 miles later it still does not use/burn any oil at all. My normal change interval is every 5000 miles or so.

    No iPod Hook Up for 2008 Viper Non-Nav Stereo

    Why wouldn't 82209616AC - Mopar Integration Kit work? It lists that it works with RAH radio. I use it with my stock RBQ radio which is not the Nav system and it works great. You can browse your artists, playlists, and albums with the stereo buttons as well as turn shuffle mode on/off. It...

    Anyone order Viper Blue 08?

    Now Bill, you had to say it was Nassau blue. I had a C5 Nassau Blue Vette, my favorite color of all times. Now I have to order a 2009!! But what would be the best color stripes?

    Looking for help, Taking Radio Out for iPod Kit

    I'll let you know once I install the kit. It turned out they shipped the wrong kit. There are two kits, one for the Viper type radios and another for the newer models. I'm still waiting for them to re-ship the right kit. Hopefully I'll get it installed next weekend.
