    Gen 4 Stock Headers Worth

    Your factory headers only fit the Gen IV's. Gen III guys buy the cat back exhaust (Gen IV) as it is a direct fit and eliminates the crossover pipes. I'd keep them, never know if you want to go back to sell and/or sell your viper. Good luck, Mike

    Removing rear bumper Dodge emblem...

    Indy, like others have said, the logos are stick on and the bumper is already painted. Before you take them off, take a look at the pricing for new ones if you change your mind, depending on color they can be pricey. The letters are individual and if you buy a new set then are placed on...

    What's you definition on "no wheres near"? I'll be there with a number of SoCal members 6/28-30 at a rare day at LS. They'll lift the sound limit for an HPDE event from 92 db to 105 db, like they allow the manufactures and magazines. Come out and see what those old Gen IV's can do in the...

    Motor Trend discusses controversy

    Viper Tony, real good post, Ralph got caught off guard by the results which is suprising as the spec's on the cars are a dead heat and like it or not you have to give the tire and brake advantage to the vette. I'm not a fan of the arrogant Randy Probst but he's a good driver and I don't beleive...

    New Viper owner

    red06, congrats on your new viper! "Special vehicles" could be an auto show car, or a SRT Experience-Skip Barber car. Since you have a dealer friend that can run the vin in the Chrysler system, check to see where it was shipped to and who did the dealer prep. If it was prepped in MI probably...
