    Min trailer length for towing an 06 coupe

    I'm using a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 as my tow vehicle. So far I have not had any issue with power, but I have not had any crazy hills to climb while towing either. I'd love to go with an aluminum trailer to save on weight and stress to the Jeep's engine (lots of miles now). Also regarding...

    Min trailer length for towing an 06 coupe

    Thanks for all the replies. I failed to consider the tie-down issues as I have only used those "U-Haul car hauler" trailers that come with straps that wrap around the front tires. It was also difficult to get the car on the U-Haul trailer due to the ramps being too short (the chassis bottomed...

    Min trailer length for towing an 06 coupe

    Does anyone know what length car trailer is needed for towing a 2006 Viper Coupe? I'd like to get the shortest possible trailer but I'm not sure if I can get away with a 14 ft or even 11 ft long trailer. Does anyone know the shortest length trailer that can be used for this car?

    This could be old news to members of this forum, but I just saw this pop up on Autoblog. If nothing else, there are some really cool Viper pics! Viper Club of America acquires spare parts from Chrysler — Autoblog

    Autocross Tire Selection Question

    I'm autocrossing a 2006 FE coupe and just picked up a set of Hoosier A6 tires on 6-spoke wheels (from JonB). This is my first set of competition tires. I've got a pretty aggressive autocross alignment and will be running in the Super Stock (SS) class. The autocross weather forecast calls...

    Do we know much about the short-throw shifter that the 2010 ACR has?

    Couldn't agree more. I'm thrilled with the MGW short shifter, but it just seems incomplete without the knob.

    Chucks video is shipped!

    I just received my video - thanks for sending it out. Forgive me for asking what might be a stupid question, but what do you mean that nobody supported him on this video? Do you mean making it, producing it, buying it, all of the above? I'm just curious and thought I'd ask.

    Calling Out Michael at XVIPERS!!! WTF!!

    Sorry to hear about your experience. Not sure how you paid, but I filed a dispute with my credit card company over a small dollar amount of parts "ordered and never received" from this company and received a reimbursement. Maybe try that route. On a side note, I've had very positive...

    So for those that received it, no comments on the content? I'm not suggesting giving anything away, but maybe just a thumbs up or something?

    How do you keep the rear end at the rear?

    Practice, practice, practice. And preferably in a controlled environment vs. the back roads…get a Viper, you won’t regret it.

    Wrecked friday night

    This thread has just had a very big impact on me, probably more then any other post I've read. I've owned my Viper for a few months now and although none of my friends have driven it yet, I was starting to feel bad about not letting any of them take the wheel. That will not be happening...

    Clunking from the rear when going over bumps?

    Took the car home today and drove it for about 20 minutes - no more knocking!!! It seems in my case the culprit was a bad ball joint. Time will tell, but so far so good!

    What is Tape used for Protection at Track

    I use the blue painters tape all the time for track and autocross events - it comes in a variety of tack and widths, just look for the most sensitive one. I've never had any issues at all with residue, even after a full track day. I just ran across this stuff too, but have not yet tried...

    Anyone know this car? 2006 SRT Coupe - Orange

    That does seem low for that car, but I have seen a number of verts going for the mid to high $40's. Last year, after a long patient search, I picked up a 2006 First Edition coupe for ~$48k with 16k miles, but the front bumper had been touched up and one quarter panel was clearly repainted...

    2006 First Edition, Who Has One?

    Just found #113 in Northern California (Tiburon) and it's for sale on Craigslist. Looks amazing with really low miles. We have great "car weather" here so this one is likely as good as the pictures suggest. I live about 90 minutes from this person, but don't know them and haven't seen this...

    Teamtech 6-point harness

    I was using 6-point harnesses on the street in both my 240z and Viper until I read the post about your body locked in with a harness, but not your head. I'm certainly no expert on this matter, but it does make sense. In an impact (front, side, etc) where your car is suddenly stopped (or...

    Clunking from the rear when going over bumps?

    UPDATE - Car is still at the dealership, but they think they have isolated it to a bad rear driver side ball joint. They've lubed it up and taken it for a short drive with no indication of the knocking. It's raining pretty bad here and they want to drive it for a longer period of time in dry...

    Do owners like their 6 spoke rims?

    I just picked up a set of 6 spokes and Hoosier A6's from JonB and they look great, not to mention quite a bit lighter then the 5 spoke stock ones that came on the 06 First Edition Coupe. I think the 5 spokes look much "tougher" (more aggressive), but the 6's are nice.

    Clunking from the rear when going over bumps?

    UPDATE - I am still getting a very loud knocking (cracking?) sound from the driver side rear of my 06 Coupe. Its getting worse and really starting to concern me, not to mention annoy me. To recap, this only happens when the car is warmed up, typically after driving a few miles and seems to be...
