    What car scares the crap out of you?

    "...thanks to a shaky chassis, too much horsepower..." Right there you just got to know the author is full of it and has no clue.

    Worth it to change exhaust without....

    Nader...09Venom was talking about my 08Coupe, I live not to far from him and offered a ride so he could get an idea of how they sound. I have the Roe's and the Corsa Track exhaust. Chuck did the install. I am one of the unfortunate lucky ones that get a CEL. It clears itself eventually but...

    Had my 08 flashed today

    Richie7....There was yet another "refinement" made to the throttle response for the 09 Viper. If I remember correctly it was mentioned during one of the SRT Engineer chats here on the forum. According to the SRT engineers, due to emissions regulations the change in the ECM for 09's is NOT...

    Had my 08 flashed today

    Since I too own an 08 I am aware of what he is talking about. There was an update for the ECM for 08's. It applied to 08's built early to mid year. Later built 08's came from the factory with the new ECM program. The update had nothing to do with the Mopar performance module. My 08 had the...

    newbie.... bought 08 acr Need Ipod help

    Well not to be argumentative, BUT....there have more than a few people with 08-09's who tried using the Chryler Ipod interface and NO GO. There where changes in the computer system for the Gen IV's. For whatever reason some 08-09's get away with it and others don't. Unfortunately if you are...

    Cracked windshield

    Wow, if you take several of the above posts and combine them they all applied to me and the steps I took. such as 1) Never had a cracked windshield in over 20 years, within 1k miles the Viper had one 2) YES, insist on FACTORY glass. Many glass places use other and they do not mention it...

    ACR Chassis

    Posting here because this is something I have considered as well. I am not a "wing" fan, at least not on a Viper driven mainly on the street. Now if it was driven more on the track then I can see it. But I liked the rest of the ACR package, the mechanical bits and pieces. From my research...

    Police Officer Faces Charges for Viper Crash

    Have just a little time to add more and respond to your questions. Glad you brought up a point I forgot to mention. "Experts" here were also ranting about this officer being suspended with pay. Of course to them this was done because he was a cop and receiving special treatment? I on the...

    Police Officer Faces Charges for Viper Crash

    Warfang....where in my post do you find me saying anything along the lines of "... that in 34 years in LE, you have NEVER seen a fellow officer do something questionable and turn a blind eye or seen others who have. Or is it the usual "no harm no foul... as long as no one got hurt... brotherhood...

    Police Officer Faces Charges for Viper Crash

    As someone who spent 34 years in law enforcement as a police officer and a federal agent (besides being a member of the NY Bar)and now live in NJ with some insight to this matter I will make just a couple of comments: The current indictment was an ADDITIONAL charge. So contrary to the...

    Viper crash

    Can you say "Black Box Time"? Depending on how aggressive the District Attorney for the county in which this happened, the black box may get fished out and downloaded to see what his speed was for certain. I know some here will get upset with that prospect but what if it was your...

    08 coupe, scratch and dent sale

    For an insurance company to "total" a car and give it a salvage title, especially a new or near new one, the insurance company's repair estimate usually has to be 70-80% of retail book value. There has got to be some serious front frame damage going on and probably requires a good deal of labor...

    Just bought a 2008 Viper SRT10 Coupe!

    Hey Kris...welcome aboard. I live in Edison, about a 30-40 min. ride from you. As far as a Viper tech in our area I know of only 2 choices. You have a Dodge dealer in southern NJ named "Buhler". He would be the closest. I have not had any experience with them. The other choice is a little...

    Am I delusional?

    You can choose to believe those "facts", never heard of that, nor do I know of any survey of dealers asking them if VR turned out to be the color they thought it would be. You mean to say ALL these dealers did not know what they were ordering?

    Am I delusional?

    You all miss the obvious point....if it was the original owner or the selling Dodge dealer that changed the wheels then fine, a matter of preference on someone's part. But if the change was made by the selling ebay dealer (a Chevy dealership, it is a used car) then I would want to know more...

    Am I delusional?

    Someone swapped out the "H" wheels that came with that car (look at the window sticker). Makes me wonder why and what else???

    Am I delusional?

    It is amazing how some people on here decide to ignore the facts when making comments on Venom Red. Look up the stats. IT WAS THE MOST ORDERED COLOR. Think maybe that might explain why there are more VR Vipers to buy? If I recall correctly, Viper's are ORDERED in the color of choice by the...

    Cat back exhaust... Which one?

    OK, so now I am bummed out. Took my 08 (has Roe H/F cats and Corsa Track which was just done)out for a nice ride on a beautiful day. Second time I drove the Viper since the install. WHile on local streets doing about 30mph the check engine light comes on. I know it has to be the cats and...

    Cat back exhaust... Which one?

    Well the install was completed by the Wizard (flawlessly of course, he wouldn't have it any other way). Now my impressions: 1) One of the most notable differences is ironically at startup when the exhaust is cold, rev's are high and the computer is running the Viper on the rich side while it...

    Cat back exhaust... Which one?

    Hey sorry for the delay in getting back here but something called "work" (and its a four letter word too) got in the way. My Viper is at Chuck's for the week (his shop is about 75 miles from me), I dropped it off last Sunday (4/5) and should pick it up this weekend. So have to wait till then...

    Cat back exhaust... Which one?

    Well I guess I am going to just jump into the deep end of the pool right off the bat. I also wanted to hear the Corsa / high flow cat combo in person before proceeding but didn't get the opportunity.....so my 08 Coupe is being dropped off at the "Wizard's" shop this weekend to have the Corsa...

    Downside to headers on 08 coupe?

    Just when I think I have my mind made up about what to do with the exhaust on my 08, this thread pops up. I know that the levels of "exhaust noise" and "drone" that people hear and tolerate are subjective, I thought that most people here found the full Belanger system to be louder than just the...

    What is latest thinking on IPOD??

    I have an 08 Coupe and the Wizard himself tried several times to install an Ipod to my RB1. He was beside himself. Lucky for me it was Chuck who did the attempt. He said that after installing the Ipod adapter and harness from Dodge he tried to start the car and the dashboard lit up like a Xmas...
