    What would you like to see as the NEW Engine for the Gen V Viper?

    I'm betting on #1 Seems the most likely to happen, and it is what I'd like to see anyway.

    Unwanted Attention

    3K you can have. I just need a lien on your Viper and some interest... . :D I have no relationship with this guy. I last talked to him two years ago. This latest work my wife set up. I was a bit surprised he even had my cell number. So, yeah, I'm taking it as a joke and letting it...

    Unwanted Attention

    No, it doesn't. :rolaugh: Yeah, he won't be invited back. It's not like one strike and he's out, maybe more like 2. But I'm done with him. If a joke, it was a very poor one. If serious, It was a poor way of asking. I didn't return the call. He actually rang again this morning, but I...

    Unwanted Attention

    I've had my '08 for a few months now and have gotten the "Hey, nice car" frequently, but what happened yesterday is a new one and not a good one... So a get a message on my cell phone from I guy I've hired a few times over the last decade. He mostly does landscaping. I've had him trim...

    Re: Viper owners did you put your front license plates on your car..if still required Quickly scrolled through 15 pages of Google Image results for "Dodge Viper" and saw only one photo with front license plates.

    Best car insurance company?

    I'll never understand underwriting. I added my 08 to my USAA policy and my monthly costs went up $55. I can't explain why they are charging you triple.

    New Owner question about low mile cars

    The '08 I just bought had 1,300 miles on it. You would think that is a rarity, but there were at least 3 others out there for sale at the time with <300 and plenty <3000. Anything for sale over 10k miles was high and rarer than <1000 market. The previous owner of my '08 had multiple Vipers...

    Looking for stock Gen IV exhaust

    I'm far from an expert, but I would think the solution to your problems won't require a whole new exhaust system. Perhaps you can get hooked up with local club members or a Viper Tech to take a peak at what you are starting with and go from there?

    UNimpressed with Passport Transport so far

    I used them in early May to pick up my '08 from a dealer in FL and had several small issues with them that made the whole experience, which was good, a bit less than ideal. First was the pickup date was suppose to be 3-5 days out. The driver would call the contact at the dealership 24 hours...

    Gen V to debut at 2012 Detroit auto show

    No way. There has not been enough time for a new from the ground up car. This is yet another author blowing smoke. It also does not make a whole lot of sense for Chrysler to pour that much cash into a ground up Viper project. Also, we saw the pics recently of a Gen IV skiing, as it was being...

    Maryland viper owners help needed

    You can also file a complaint with the Montgomery County Consumer Affairs Office http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/ocptmpl.asp?url=/content/ocp/index.asp You would be the second complaint against them. The other is unresolved. I can't say this will help at all. I do know they are...

    G'Day from Australia

    I have a Dihatsu HiJet that is "right-driver" It is a simple transition and you really will get used to it quickly. Besides, the extra effort to shift with will keep you focus on your driving and hopefully not getting over confident. I have to admin I flip on the wipers every time I want to...

    "CNN Money" mention of Gen V Viper

    This guy has an agenda and pulled that crap out of... well, you know. Zero chance he knows anything we don't. "the climate is getting scarily warm" I defy him or anyone else, to map a series of temperature readings to any year on record. It can't be done. May was +.13 C, Same UAH global...

    Who can help me find an srt10? :)

    I get an Edmunds dealer retail of 35,500. Though Kelly was much higher for me... I personally have found the Edmunds prices difficult to get, so a bit below the actual Viper market. This 2005 with 33k miles went on ebay recently for 35,000. But as you will see... there is a bit of history on...

    Newsweek article has blurb on new Viper

    Who knows what technology they are talking about (assuming there is any truth to it in the first place). I do know, having my '08 for a few weeks now that to me, if the big 8.4 V10 stays, you can spritz it with all the Ferrari DNA you want and it will still ooze of country bumpkin. :usa:

    can anyone help me with heat problem. 2008

    I drove my 08 coupe (new to me!) for an hour last week and did not notice any heat issues. Door sills were warm, but far from burning hot. I was actually annoyed at how cool the AC was ;) So how quickly did it heat up for you? Is the passenger side only warm? If you had large amounts...

    Fair offer?

    I recently bought an 08 coupe with similar mileage, stripes for 64k. There is one out there that is purple with 1000 miles. I haggled the dealer down to 70k, but it ended there. That seems to be the retail dealer market for low mileage 08s. Mid 60s for medium mileage (5000-12000). Low...

    Help help help...crisis

    A lot of good advice so far, so time for some questionable advice. :cool: Even if what the dealer says is true, which I doubt, I'd be willing to try a lot of things first such as a little welding, or heck, just living with a leak if is was small enough. 9k + labor buys a lot of oil and...
