    Steering wheel fix

    Thanks for the tip. I also have the Connolly interior and that is EXACTLY what has happened to my steering wheel. I also tried to clean it, making it worse. When you ordered the leather color restorer, what color did you get?

    Very OLD 01' East Coast Rendezvous pics!

    I was there and it was a great time at the track. Funny story about the trip though... it was the first time I had driven in Jersey and innocent ole me stopped to get gas, (after trying to figure out how the heck to make a left turn). When I got out to pump it, you would have thought I just...

    Radar Detector Question...

    I have the V1 also and picking up laser is a matter of luck and/or skill. I have been lucky enough to catch a bouncing signal from cars ahead and detected it. The only way to lessen the chances of getting lit up (besides driving within the limit!), is to realize that for him to shoot his laser...

    Aftermarket tunes...

    I just bought an SCT from Unleashed tuning. I searched around and I couldn't find a better deal than this. $349, INCLUDING 3 tunes. The tuner is a Viper owner named Torrie. After doing a lot of searching on this guy and finding nothing but positive comments from Mustang, Ford and Dodge forums, I...

    cold wet tires + 2 degree weather not so good

    SInce you just joined our group a couple months ago, is it a safe assumption that you just got this car? As the others have said, you have stated the problem in your title. However... to do a complete 540 degree spin you must have had some pretty good speed going into that turn in first gear...

    Thanks Ralph and Chrysler!

    As I was cruising around Virginia Beach in my Viper this afternoon, It occured to me that there are a LOT of nice Chrysler products out on the street now. I saw a gorgeous black SRT8 Charger, A head turning red R/T Charger, An awesome black SRT8 300, several SRT8 Challengers, as well as many R/T...

    Funny story.... could have been lame.

    John, did he just give you a warning? Do you remember the Colonial Parkway cruise a couple springs ago when all the national park police were around every turn? Someone was probably being a "good citizen" and tattled on us. My V1 nabbed them all though, so they never got us doing more than 35...

    very fortunate today

    +1, my V1 earned its money just this past weekend. It warned me of a state trooper 3 miles before I got to him. It was a very straight and flat area and he was using instant on, but the V1 got him.

    Viper mileage whining

    Not taken as whining at all!:) As I said in my original post, I understand both sides also. My point was now it seems a lot of our own Viper bretheren have begun splintering off into a vocal group of folks that ONLY look at miles. Again, my point was don't lose sight of it being an incredible...

    Viper mileage whining

    Almost every thread now about a Viper being for sale has a comment from someone talking about how high the mileage is. At what point in the history of our cars do we let go of whining about a car someone is looking at being "high mileage" because it has... OH MY GOD!!!!... 20K miles on it. I...

    Does ever V8 have something to prove?

    You are right about that... Probably, by far, the strangest attention getting revving dealt to me was by a Virginia Beach fire truck! He was beside me in stop and go traffic so I didnt pay much attention at first to his engine revving. Then I noticed he was revving up that big diesel but not...

    Does ever V8 have something to prove?

    Two comments on your post... Remember, the Viper is the benchmark to which most other muscle cars set their sights on. When they see a Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, etc, those cars may or may not be quick. But when they see us, they know we all have power and it is more than most of them so to...

    Remember the first time you drove a Viper?

    It's been so long ago, it's hard to remember. A friend of mine and fellow Viper owner got his first one back in the mid 90's or so. He and I used to own and show Challengers and Chargers back in the 80's so we have always driven each others cars. His was a Hemi and mine was a 6-Pak so he knew I...

    Viper kills pedestrian in VA BCH

    John, you are correct, that Viper is not part of our local group. I have seen it around though, it's not easy to forget. As far as your titles "controversy'.... The way you worded it is how the media words it, the driver was stupid and caused this terrible action, but the fact that it's a Viper...

    1000 HP Garage

    I purchased a '06 300 SRT8 to keep the Viper company in the garage when they aren't being driven. The mods on the SRT are 180* thermostat, Bassani cat back exhaust, K&N Typhoon CAI, and a DiabloSport Tuner. The Viper has roller rockers, Random Tech Cats and exhaust, K&N, smooth tubes, 3.55 rear...

    4 Dealer Oil Changes for the price of one.

    I get my local Chrysler/Dodge dealer to change it. I provide the oil and filter, they provide the Viper Tech to change it and give the car a visual inspection. Their charge? Only $20. I think that's a hell of a deal. And yes, their Viper tech is the only one who touches Vipers, even for menial...

    My Valentine 1 has smacked me into reality from more than one stupid stunt. When it starts beeping, the stupid foot lifts quickly.

    2012 - 2013 - 2014 ....?????

    One of the better "insiders" over at allpar.com states the new viper has been issued body code 'ZD" and there are 2 different varients of the 8.4 engine listed with that car code. Very interesting.
