    Motor Trend reviews pre-owned Vipers

    Yeh, but check out their used car prices for a Viper??? They are not doing any owners a service there making potential owners believe they should pick one up in the 20k range.

    2003 Power Steering Pump Noise.

    So how do we verify that it was done correctly? I had mine done back in May.

    Rev Limitations

    EXEC, if I recall correctly most of the criticism was aimed at your demand that DC produce a unique, higher powered version of the Viper. But what you failed to see then, and apparently now, is that for the potential production volume the additional costs to produce the unique hardware and...

    Dyno HP #'s, 3.55's vs 3.07's

    Re: Dyno HP #\'s, 3.55\'s vs 3.07\'s It is mostly about the inertia. Most chassis dynos used are inertial dynos. That is they measure the rate of drum speed increase to calculate the horsepower, then use the measured engine speed to calculate the torque and apply both to engine speed. Because...

    LeMans needs the Viper back... Dodge are you listening?!

    Dennis you may be correct but Wolfgang has been heard to tell the story of why he would never advocate a Chrysler return to Lemans and that story repeatedly was safety. The Chrysler LMP project received almost no press here in the US.

    Head gaskets and piston/valve clearance

    It is not the max lift that causes valve to piston interference. It is how quickly the valve opens. Most valve interference occurs somewhere near TDC. You can make a plot of piston height versus valve position and determine the theoretical clearance (it is all just geometry) or you can check the...

    Rev Limitations

    You have shown a crappy attitude and received about what you should have expected. On a more informative note the V-10 is based on the 360 / 5.9L Chrysler V8. Outside of tuning effects and dynamics, which would be different, I would think that you could base changes on the 5.9L which has a lot...

    Head gaskets and piston/valve clearance

    what or who is cometic? If you check the archives you will find info on shaved heads and compression ratio increases. Regarding rocker ratio related piston-valve clearance I do not believe valve clearance is the limiting factor. If you couple it with a longer duration, higher lift cam profile...

    Rev Limitations

    The 1999 red lines at 6200 and hits fuel shutoff at 6250, I believe. Not 5500 to 6000. As indicated above the GTS-R was capable of higher engine speeds. Through Mopar you could at one time buy many of the unique components that would help attain that goal. That is an expensive solution...

    LeMans needs the Viper back... Dodge are you listening?!

    The primary reason we are not in LeMans is Mercedes history and scared Germans. Their lack of success and frills (read flying across the mulsane) have scared the Germans such that Wolfgang said he would NEVER support going back. I do not see that changing until WW III or ...

    Shipping charges have been subsidized.

    The answer is pretty easy to find out. Call a couple of transport companies and find out.

    EBC Greenstuff or Hawk HPS Brake pads?

    Not sure you need to paint the pads in the SRT. The rear caliper is similar to the front caliper, and unlike the Gen I/II, does not show off the pad backing.

    GUYS I NEED HEL LIKE RIGHT NOW!!

    Question - do you have an aftermarket locking gas cap? Also, the leak detection pump, hoses etc. could be a player. Not sure how an evap issue would impact idle quality. Certainly a stuck open purge valve could do that, but then you should have other codes present.

    GUYS I NEED HEL LIKE RIGHT NOW!!

    All of the codes you mention are related to evaporative emissions (not a/c). The dealer should have a detection system to smoke out any leak site (literally it creates smoke). They should follow the diagnostic procedures which are written in a straight forward manner. If your mechanic is stating...

    GUYS I NEED HEL LIKE RIGHT NOW!!

    Dumb question but did you check your gas cap first? I think that is the most probable large leak.

    Gen3 cost $10K less to make than Gen2 ?

    Yeh, but some of those covers have eggs cooking on the sills!

    The roll bar required - no exceptions statement prevents many of us, me included. This is not required when Vipers go as a group.

    Cruise Control?

    Something like cruise control cannot be that difficult to have as an option. And for those who want amenity free cars don't order the option. Same for a temp gauge and compass in the mirror. They are not considered high tech anymore. Just about every car has them as an option. The same...

    Not sure Zaino will work here. You need a surface to apply it :)

    ANNOYING SEAT BELT INDICATOR CHIME!

    That means I must have done the procedure before. Very possible as buying in February ('03) gives lots of garage time to try everything. I am still thinking of the jump to eliminate the lamp. On the track one does not need any additional distractions!

    Gen3 cost $10K less to make than Gen2 ?

    Clamshell hood = mucho Dinero AND Signature Appearance. The current hood could be mistaken for a Stratus'. NOw $10k less to make and $7k higher price gives owners $17k less value. Assuming cost and value are associated. Hmmm.

    Look what I found under my sidesill..

    No. Viper engines were originally made at Mound Road (Detroit) and now at Connor (also Detroit).
