    SRT10 in person vs. in pictures

    C'mon Lee, Those Wall Street analysts supposedly were TOUTING the same stocks to clients that they privately were trashing. Almost the opposite of some of these SRT posts!

    viper owner for second time

    I wonder why Dodge doesn't modify the owner's manual to show the above as the new break in procedure??? While I think the new owner video still references the 1998 model year, you'd think that updating the actual owner's manuals wouldn't be too difficult...

    Delivery options for my 1st Viper

    Try www.exoticcartransport.com I've never used them but Greg, the buyer of the Viper listed on ebay with the outrageous paint job just used them from Naples, Florida to Ohio and, I believe, had a pretty good experience. Cost was just over $1000 and you could track the progress via GPS on...

    whats up with these warrantees?

    Dainiel, 1.) The 3yr/36,000 mile factory warranty is transferable to the new buyer of your car since it "stays with the car" 2.) The Dodge 7 yr/100,000 mile powertrain warranty promo has been extended through July 8th. You have this on your car. This is NOT transferable to a 2nd owner...

    Late model GTS air conditioning

    Hot and humid here in Miami (but never 100 degrees!) and have no problems keeping fairly cool. It's well known, pointed out by others above, that the air conditioning is rather rustic but reasonably effective---it's either on or off (temp control is largely cosmetic); your only variable...

    Need to know the price of the SRT-10

    Kenny asked "Why IS there a gas guzzler tax on Vipers? I get 12-13 MPG in my 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 (with enough engine mods to get 360 HP out of the 245 HP 360). My mileage is pretty close to what it was when it was pure stock. A LOT more Rams are sold every 3 weeks than Vipers are sold ALL...

    good price for NEW 01 GTS and 02 GTS??

    $68.6k for the 2002 GTS is a very good price. The $72.3k for the 2001 sounds high.

    good price for NEW 01 GTS and 02 GTS??

    Someone in Chicago posted recently about buying a new '01 GTS at $64k (or $64.5) and I saw one advertised by a dealer in the VCA classifieds asking $66.5k about 3 weeks ago. Believe both were without stripes. Under $67k with stripes sounds decent to me.

    Problems with Stereo in RT/10

    Depending on the model, one reason for higher noise at higher RPMs could be that this Alpine might have that compensation feature switched "on" which automatically increases the volume at higher speeds/RPMs

    driving and parking tips

    Luis, 1.) As pointed out above, drive gently at first, especially going around curves. 2.) Don't worry too much; as far as manual transmission cars go, the Viper is easier than many more "common" cars to drive. 3.) Do not pull too far into any parking spot or your front fascia will be scraping...

    luxury tax?

    Waiting until 1/1/03 might save a buyer of a NEW Viper close to $1,000. Also, watch those auto tag agency folks; mine was ready to charge me state sales tax on the luxury tax until I corrrected them and they verified that indeed they were wrong!

    Roadster V. Coupe (friendly family discussion)

    Last week I switched from an RT/10 to a GTS. Initial thoughts of the coupe are: greater headroom, quieter, stereo sounds better, somehow it even seems like there are a couple of extra inches of width in the footwell. From most angles, I prefer the look of the GTS but still love both cars. As...

    Way too funny Viper ad in New Car and Driver

    That is one moronic ad...except for the Grab Life by the Horns part...OK, and the chick with the horns....think it says, "marry me, SRT for free." (Further apologies to Dire Straits, but hey, they always sounded like Bob Dylan impersonators to me) Ad placement among Corvette C&D anniversary...
