    rearend clunk

    I get soft driveshaft "clunks" coming from the differential area when load is disengaged (push clutch in while idling up an incline). I'm pretty sure its normal.

    Why is my car soaked !!!! HELP.

    Same here, I have driven and parked in HARD rain, nothing. But I have driven with the window inadvertently cracked (auto-closed incorrectly over top) and a little water did come in.

    Why is my car soaked !!!! HELP.

    Maybe the auto-adjusting windows closed on the outside leaving a gap?

    What is the problem with Gen I and II Vipers??

    You got yourself a nice car. Matter-O-fact, I like em all, Z06, SL55/65, SVT Cobra, GT2, Supra, 360CS, RX-7 . . . They are all great. I have ignored the banter and appreciated the constructive comments from both of these threads. No insecurities here. But styling . . . is so subjective and...

    SRT and bad roads??

    Even though the Viper SRT does pull a bit in the ruts, I have never felt such a wonderful connection with the road. IMO, I would rather feel the ruts and be aware of the poor surface condition than to "soften" it. It really does remind me to respect the road surface as being inappropriate for...

    Top Speed with Roof down?

    My observation: Non-modded (3.07 geared) pulls cleanly to top of 4th (~157mph) and crawls in 5th (both top up and down). I usually give up by 165 as it just isn't climbing fast enough for the amount of yardage its chewing up. My impression: Pretty close drag coefficient ratings (.42 for top...

    Clutch Problems/VIN Check

    Curious, has anyone here had to change the stock Gen3 clutch for wear reasons? And if so, how many miles did you get? I got 7k and stock clutch grabs the same 0k.

    How to stop annoying wheel hop ?

    Sounds like the 3.07 was less frustrating. I live in a northern state where lower temperatures reduce Pilot’s traction by 15-30% for half of the driving season. The “gutless” 3.07 mated with the stock 435rwhp and temperature sensitive Pilot’s balances out nicely.

    moisture in head lights

    Happened to me after high pressure washing. It dried out overnight and everything was back to normal. Now I use low pressure on headlights, taillights, and rear glass. no more problems so no DC.

    SRT vs Ford GT

    That GT looks nice! I think that MT article comparing the early release GT and the Viper hit Ford in the gut. Ford took too long to hit market and they had to "adjust" the power output. Sometimes those short notice changes can be compromising . . . Time will tell.

    CABIN HEAT FROM 04/05 SRT10

    Congrats! Im sure your purchase will be enjoyable, the vehicle orientation my dealership gave was very thorough. For me, the cabin heat is controlled comfortably with the top up (up to about 100'f.) and works best when using the "circulate" (2 leftmost) settings. With the top down it's a bit...

    HELP! Found an new SRT10 to buy BUT....

    (First post from a fledgling 6 month Viper owner): Three days after I picked up my Viper I find out that something deep inside that V10 was known to fail in a bad way. None of the dealers were ready to address it immediately, so the first 700 miles were fear? guilt? I was really wondering...
