    New Car Mileage Question?

    I think it is a moot point on which way is best to brake-in a motor, THAT should be left to the decision of the buyer/owner of the Viper, not someone at the dealership who decides to "see what she'll do". I also agree that behavior such as this is showing disrespect for the customer. I am...

    ACR Front Shocks - Question

    Bob.....it is VERY possible. I have "KW Variant-2" coilover set I just put on another vehicle (not my Viper)and the bottom ring which allows you to adjust the ride height is indeed plastic.

    Integrated Cable for RB-1 and IPOD Connection??

    Dan...anything new to report on the ipod issue for my 08? Do you think that TSB will help? To just to let others know, I am one of the few 08's that have had no luck installing the ipod interface. As Dan mentioned you will know immediately. The dash board lites up like a Xmas tree...

    sold my C6Z06 and got a 08 coupe

    My 08 Coupe is my first Viper, seven Vette's before, the last being a C5ZO6. Like many have said, it is the gearing of the Viper. You will notice the difference when doing normal driving and you drive off from a stop. Also when you are driving at a steady speed in the 50-65mph range. Before in...

    Difference between 2008 and 2009 models?

    The change to the frame, gas tank and filler neck were made to meet 2009 Federal Highway crash standards.

    If u could make one cosmetic change to the 09 what would u do

    Would like to see as options some of the various goodies that the ACR has. Example: a package (or separately)-the KW coilovers, the Stop Tech rotors and the ACR front swaybar. This way someone who does not want or need the wings and splitters can get the other parts. I would also agree on a Nav...

    iPod Adapter in '08 Successfully!!

    Dan...I didn't leave a message, figured you took some time off with the holiday and did not want to bother you then. Thought I wait a couple of days till you got back. I will call you Tuesday if that is alright. The best bet would be to have the two Wizards talk on the phone about the install...

    iPod Adapter in '08 Successfully!!

    Dan....I tried calling you a couple of times during the week after speaking with Ted. When is a good time to get you this coming week? Hopefully you can fill me (and Chuck)in on how to get my ipod adapter to work. Just so you know, Chuck is saying that just connecting the adapter up to the RB1...

    2008 ACR Raffle car on Ebay

    With the value of an ACR approxiamtely $100K+, if you win it in a raffle you have to claim and include the value of the ACR as income (probably under gambling winnings)in your FEDERAL income taxes. Most on here would be in a 25-20% income tax bracket. That means you owe about $30k in Fed...

    No iPod Hook Up for 2008 Viper Non-Nav Stereo

    Dan...any news on my similiar problem with the ipod kit? CT has tried two brand new ipod adapters on the RB1 in my 08 and neither have worked. He said he had spoken to you about it while you where up north. I picked my new Viper up with the ipod adapter still in the car but disconnected.

    What is the invoice cost of a base '08 coupe?

    If a dealer sells at invoice he still has a profit margin. How much that will be depends on how long the Viper was on his floor plan. Dealers do not outright "buy" their inventory. A dealer is charged for a car by Dodge when it gets invoiced which is usually right around the time a car is...

    What is the invoice cost of a base '08 coupe?

    Coupe MSRP=$85210 Invoice=$78082 To the invoice you would of course have to add the dealer cost for any options. I did a quick check and most of the options run at 88% (eg. H Wheels 700Msrp/616 Invoice). Gas guzzler and shipping are NOT deducted. On the dealer invoice there also...

    new flash for 08 viper

    Ok, I will ask to a qustion here that I (and probably others who have an 08) would like to know the answer to. Does anyone know how many 08's are affected? Vin#'s? I read on here that someone with an 08 built in March and delivered in April needed a re-flash. My car is exactly the same time...

    08 Viper Owners..............???

    Chuck Tator has already attempted to do what you say is possible on my 08. Neither the earlier RB1 or the Ipod adapter he attempted to put in my 08 would work. When the earlier RB1 and the Ipod adapter was put in all electricals would not work-the windows, ABS light on,etc...I am only going by...

    08 Viper Owners..............???

    Has any 08 Viper owner attempted to install an IPOD with their stock radio? Especially the RB-1? AND before others respond about "search", the 08 Viper is a whole new ballgame. You cannot use the dodge ipod kit #82209616AC on an 08, nor does an RB-1 radio from earlier years work in an 08...

    08 viper red delivered AND BACK IN SHOP

    It would be nice if Dodge could figure out exactly which group (what VIN's) of 08's need this reflash instead of leaving it to the owners to drive 100-200 miles to "test" it out. My 08 Viper is at Tator's right now after 9 weeks in "I" status. I have to wait a week(or more) to pick it up since...

    More on '08 Viper

    Well as I have mentioned several times, my 08 Coupe is now entering its NINTH week in "I" status. I bet if you could determine the build dates of the Vipers sitting in "I" and the dates of build for the couple of Vipers that had problems (as posted in another thread) I think you would come up...

    08 Viper issue?

    Wasn't there two separate threads recently from 08 owners who posted similair experiences that their 08 Vipers had only about 200 miles and the check engine light came on and had reduced power? Wallbanger....you had the exact same thought as me on the "I" status wait. I am now at 8 weeks in...

    2008 ACR

    Black Mamba is EXACTLY right. The "regular" 08 Viper beat all the other models INCLUDING the track models of the other brands. Which means the ACR really beat their a**.

    Viper Serial Numbers

    Musicncars....not only start a thread for (future)owners in "D" status but also in the more notorious "I" status. I ordered my 08 (in VR) the end of May 07. Lucky me in that I ordered a coupe, two tone interior, and the Arc Light bezel. Each of these three choices caused a delay due to vendor...

    I Status Codes

    Luna C...I am in the exact same situation as you. A VR Coupe, no stripes, in "I" status for 5 weeks and counting. I checked with my dealer just yesterday on the status.
