    LOCKED OUT

    I personally don't think that's the real reason. It's hidden mainly for aesthetics as there has neven been a truly "visible" key hole on a Viper for any generation. Some of us who owned Gen. I's still remember the days of opening a door - especially with V-Mania's or the factory side curtains...

    Need help with 2008 ACR rotors

    You can save more $$$ by performing the labor yourself. Very easy to do as all you have to do is remove two (2) allen bolts on each caliper, then remove the rotors. Same thing for the rears with the exception of loosening the lower E-brake bolt to swing the E-brake caliper out of the way...

    Viper car insurance prices

    Grundy here as well. $700 per year. I was told "limited use" includes occasional dinner outtings etc. (assuming the car is parked in a safe and secure area such a valet space and not on the street where it can't be vandalized or stolen). Not to be driven to a shopping mall, supermarket, etc...

    Obscene offers???

    That's because KBB, NADA, Edmunds, etc. are only GUIDES that are based on standard depreciation and not true market value. That comes from what others are paying based on supply and demand.

    Changing Clutch Fluid

    I was wondering the same thing being that there is only one line from the fluid reservoir meaning no return line. Also, the shop procedure requires bleeding at the slave cylinder (which is the reason my local dealership charges $200). Just wondering as I will need to do this within the next...

    Is it true? Gen I more reliable than Gen III?

    I don't think so. The common issue with the Gen III is oil stavation due to tracking which was already discussed. I personally haven't heard of many connecting rod failures on Gen III engines. Your data point, considering your car had over 50k miles when you acquired it, may be lacking some...

    Is it true? Gen I more reliable than Gen III?

    Potential oiling issues on the Gen III as was previously mentoned only if you track the car. Gen III has a more reliable engine. This is from a guy who has owned both (and one who had to go through the paper head gasket saga on his Gen I).

    Your best guess, what is the dealer going to give me on my Viper Trade???

    Simply ask for retail and negotiate from there. Get the retail value of your car from sites such as the classifieds on this forum, Autotrader, Ebay, etc. For a car (McLaren or Ferrari) with a relatively high margin (sales price over invoice), there usually a little more wiggle room unless...

    Vipers Prices Gen 3

    I don't think that's what he meant. He was only referencing to a single personal experience. And in ecomonic terms, it can work that way if the demand is high and the supply is low (or the price elasticity of demand).

    mounting dimensions GEN4 exhaust tips ona GEN3

    The installation instructions found on the Corsa site will provide the rough dimensions for tip positioning. Then as was previously mentioned, you'll need to do a few "takes" with the sills to get it just right. You also may want to run though at least one heat cycle (with the sills off)...

    You should. Any Dodge dealership (finance dept.) will be able to give you a definite answer.

    Calling All '05 Commemorative Editions

    The '96 RT/10 was not a Commemorative Edition. It didn't have any special badging, interior, shift console plate/sticker, etc. I had one and sold it back in 2004 right before purchasing my first Gen. III. If I recall correctly, there were about 224 built (maybe 324).

    What kind of exhaust do I have??

    The aftermarket high flow cats is giving you the extra "loudness". The Corsa system with factory cats is not very loud.

    Yeah right..... just like I used to know the owner of #133 of a Commemerative Edition.

    The smell sensor in my nose tripped a CEL in my brain: "Potential '05 srt issues"

    I don't believe any Gen. 3-5's but a couple of Gen. 2's.

    The smell sensor in my nose tripped a CEL in my brain: "Potential '05 srt issues"

    If your PS fluid level is low and the smell is burnt PS fluid, the next thing to do is find the source of the leak. A few of us who owned Gen I/II's still remember reading posts where a couple of cars that actually caught on fire due to loose PS reservoir caps.
