    Just drove 500 miles and

    use the adjustable peddles on long trips. i like to push mine back as far as possible to stretch my legs out more. leg gets a little stiff, pull it up some, change it up. and yep, 1700 rpms at 90 mph is just about perfect cruising speed. most of the traffic is doing 80 to 85 anyway. if you...

    Which viper is the better deal?

    13.99? i can do 12s in my bone stock convertible. not having a top might pose some top end speed limitations due to aerodynamics but 1/4 mile? not a chance. BTW, drop the gears in the rear end and buy some slicks. that alone will turn a bone stock 12 sec viper into a low 11s strip machine. THEN...

    Zero Dodge Vipers sold in February 2012

    dodge needs to take this puppy to the next level. adding more HP is not going to improve its performance much at all because of weight vs traction. only super cars doing better are the 4wd cars like the porsche or lighter mid engine cars that have a higher percentage of weight closer to the rear...

    Which viper is the better deal?

    i paid 45k for a 2006 convertable 2 years ago. high 40s for a pretty much stock coupe is about 5k too much imo. if it had stripes, was a special edition car like a copperhead MAYBE 50k. base plain jane coupe 45k for one in outstanding condition. 40k for a supercharged 2003 is the way to go...

    the new one came with igo8.3 it has 3d features which i shut off, cant see street numbers with the buildings in the way. raised highways are kind of cool but not a deal breaker. sundaybuy.com still has them if your link is broken, they ship theirs with a rear view camera. but they dont do...

    forget about service. you are on your own. the viper has an older version of CAN. the radio is part of that system in so far as the factory radio recieves a 5v signal from the computer to identify the factory unit and decide if it should let it work or not. in short it is just a system that...

    gps was no big deal once you find the settings menu. took a while for me to figure out the little arrow in the bottom if the settings screen led to more settings..... disable the gps, set everything to auto and press the button. no biggie. gps works just fine. found a widget for my andriod...

    i bought a newer model with the rca inputs. like venom said i had to trim a little of the support bracket and yes both the upper and lower speaker wires were out of phase. the dodge is +--+ on the top and bottom, the unit came with -+-+ on the harness they supplied. very happy with it. i...

    TPM question

    easy to check if they are installed or not. look at the valve stem. if it is a generic rubber thing they are missing, if it is a metal stem with a rubber o ring between the wheel and metal stem it HAS them. you will get a warning light if they are missing. computer will handle it just like a...

    Another subwoofer question...

    if cutting up the car is not an issue, dont get shy now. scrap the box behind the rear panal. fabricate a box directly onto the back of the banal itself, it will give you 5 inches. build a raised fiberglass front for the front of the panal and mount 2- 8 inch woofers in there that have some kick...

    Another subwoofer question...

    i gutted the ports out of my factory box, stuffed it with fiber fill, glued all the holes shut with plexiglass and liquid nails and stuffed a 6.5 kicker in it. the two rules above apply. you are not going to get much bass from a 6.5 i dont care where you put it and firing it at the front...

PCM is fused like an above poster said on the "cig ltr" fuse. and guess what? the cig lighter is not on that fuse. only thing on that fuse is the PCM and hydrolic cooling system. which might explain the heat. will road test it tomarrow night when its quiet and...

    computer fried?

    reader works fine on my truck, checked it. temp rise does sound like cats but odds of loosing one at 26k miles is low. and have you seen them? its a hollow tube with a screen. its a cat in name only. would take some serious build up to block one. odd smell to exhaust too. like water vapor or...
