    Skip shift confusion

    Cop Magnet: I bought my conversion kit from JonB at Parts Rack. It was cheap, I forget how much, but there are no error codes and it works great. Sure, one can get along without it, but it sure makes driving simpler. I like it. It installed in 5 minutes, and is easier if you have the car on...

    Is The Maxcare Warranty Worth It?

    F355- I just purchased a 7 yr, 50,000 mile Max Care warranty ($100 deductible) from Dodge for $1,490. Call Mike Robbins at Ringold Chrysler/Dodge 706-935-2328. There are some variations on the deductible and mileage so you can customize it to your needs. This price is $100 over cost per Mike...

    Broken bolt removal?

    Achillies99- They make a bolt remover (probably available at Lowe's, Home Depot or Autozone). First one drills a hole in the bolt shank and then one inserts a bit into the hole. A wrench is then applied to the bit and the bolt shank unscrews. Hope this helps.

    How can you leave your Viper parked without worrying all the time?

    I do try to be careful where I park my car, and look for spots where it would be hard for someone to get too close. Of bigger concern is the door locking fob. Most of the places where I leave the car I have a very hard time locking the doors. Sometimes I can move the car one space and the...

    Availability of quick connect for battery tender

    I just purchased a battery tender since I normally drive the Viper on the weekends, and I don't like having to raise the hood to connect the alligator clips to the battery terminals. (Sounds lazy, huh :D ) Also I don't like keeping the hood up while it's charging, or raising the hood to...

    Most Annoying Things About Owning a Viper

    The difficulty in locking and unlocking the doors using the key fob in certain areas where there is apparent radiowave interference. When one wants to get out of the car and lock it, sometimes (more often than not) the key fob won't work. If one puts the fob as close to the drivers A pillar as...

    Viper Bikini RT/10

    I got caught in a real downpour and all I had was the bikini top. It is not completely waterproof-there was a puddle in the seats. It is much,much better than nothing, however. If one installs it tightly over the cockpit so that the water sheds off rather than puddles on the bikini top and...

    Considering Viper GTS or Modified Z06 Vette

    Toque: I have had 3 corvettes and 2 vipers (a GTS and current RT 10). Reliability and overall cost of the vehicles are very close. Given that it will not be your daily driver, you will be more satisfied with the Viper. There is no comparison when it comes to the gawk factor. A good example...

    Advice on car sale.....

    Janni- The winter (Sept to March) is the worst time to sell a sports car and the best time to buy one. Unless you are pushed to sell now, I would plan on not selling until spring. As I have a wholesaler's license, I see this scenario quite often. I also suggest not to repaint-someone will...

    Re: What is the strangest or BEST reaction you\'ve had to driving your viper I was stopped at a traffic light and a Mercedes 500sl pulled up next to me with the top down. A guy was driving and he had a good looking honey in the passenger seat. Both of them were looking at the Viper. I looked...
