    Hey Jon, What day/time is the BEST time to call? I haven't seen that covered yet... ;) Thanks, Peter

    '08 stereo issue.

    Did you get the RB1 Navigator option? AFAIK, the base model SHOULD come with the 6CD changer just like 2006 and previous year models did... My gut react is that either you ordered the RB1 option, or something went wrong in assembly (wrong unit put in!). Peter

    Convertible Top requires big guns to close

    Well, the first few times I opened/closed it, I did not realize that the latch needs to be in the "loaded" position for an easy closure. (Pull the handle all the way back to get the latch in the right position). The latch is a bit like a gun. You need to c0ck it first, and when you secure the...

    Viper went to Denmark

    FWIW, a brand new 2006 Viper costs 179,000 Euros in Finland (=US $285,000 with today's fx rate) due to very high taxation. From what I can recall, it cost 105k Euros in Germany... Peter

    Trunk Release

    Easy fix: There are two hex shaped spring bolts that help open up the trunk. Unscrew them one turn or two, and it should solve the problem... Peter

    Before It Ends Fix The Vert - Coupe Rear

    Nothing to fix! Leave the vert the way it is. I like the distiction between the vert and coupe, and my preference is the vert, not only because the top goes down... Peter

    Here are some pics for those afraid to drive their viper in the rain

    Uh.... In the late 80's I drove an Opel Manta (RWD, no TC of course) in snow for 4+ months of the year (in Finland). Lots of snow... Tires with spikes, yes, but no other nannies... Obviously, what I and most other people did in Finland back then, cannot be done... Wow! :cool: Peter

    Is a viper with navigation really a viper???

    The cool thing is not the navigation, but the iPod integration capability (the big display will display artist/song name, etc). That's the main reason I ordered the nav. Not for the navigator ... Peter

    My Viper is a 5 speed....

    I try to keep it around 1000-1250 all the time. That's why no other car feels asgood as the Viper! If you need to go above 1500 (except when accelerating), you might as well use a car with a high-rpm asian sewing machine type of engine... :rolaugh: Both my Viper and Mustang run great on 800...

    Dodge Viper vs. Ford GT vs. Chevy Corvette

    Well, the coupe just isn't as good looking as the roadster IMHO. (The hard top does not look good, especially so not in red color, and the silver gas cap belongs on a Hummer, not on a pretty sports car). Which just makes us wonder why they used the Coupe and not a roadster... If it needs to be...

    Selling my 2006 Black SRT Vert

    Ah, my quotation would be "yep, it's a Pontiac". Happened every time I took the '97 Trans Am through a puddle of water, and the engine stopped. (Pontiac service never found the problem. Sold the car at 70k miles). So far '06 SRT is running fine with more than 5,000 miles on the odo in less...

    Orders rolling in at UNKNOWN pricing?????

    I see these posts about placing orders, yet the official MSRP is still unknown... Dodge web pages say "pricing available soon" My Viper dealer (who is one of the ones with the nations largest allocaton) has not contacted me with pricing, although I've repeatedly told him I'm intersted in...

    I'm an owner

    Huh.?... Well, I guess I'll get another membership when I purchase the next Viper. So long, until then... (Won't be long ). I'll try to time my purchase for January this time :) Peter

    Ohio Viper driver dies in crash..........

    Yep. This is getting a bit awkward. Please learn to release the clutch slowly. (This way you immediately FEEL if it's in the wrong gear before it's too late!) Clutch discs can easily be replaced... (I'm not easy on the gas pedal, but I AM easy on the clutch... flame me if you want! :D ) Peter

    I Wrecked My 800hp Sc Srt Viper...

    I've always worn a seatbelt, and I always will. In Finland, they educate people and show freaky pictures of what's left of people that did not wear the seat belt. Then they show the statistics... And then they tell IT'S THE LAW and then all the all Finns abide :D On the other hand, the...

    I'm an owner

    Purchased on 5/6/2006 (paperwork completed) and delivered on 5/16/2006, which means I should still have one month left on my VCA membership, right? Car has manufacturing date of 03/06, but that should make no difference, right? Thanks, Peter

    I'm an owner

    Same problem here. I'm an owner (2006 roadster S/N 101210), VCA member, and I used to have an avatar. Please help! Thanks, Peter

    2008 Specifications - Official

    Yep, I noticed that too. It says 16 gal (70L). However, 16 US Gal is NOT 70 metric liters. It appears 70 liters is correct. The "16" figure is obviously wrong... 70L=18.5 US Gallons 70L=15.4 UK Gallons Peter

    2008 Detail information

    The number of vent slots decreases from 10 to 6. I think this may actually decrease the manufacturing cost. The black speakerlike mesh probably doesn't cost much in comparison to the actual hood. Peter

    Oil Change $

    I pick up the oil and filter myself (Mobile 0W40 is $59.80 and a Napa Gold filter is $6.50). The local Vipertech at the Dodge dealer does the work for ~$10. So, with tax I pay ~$80 per oil change... Peter

    New 08 Viper or a Ford GT

    I believe you! The problem is the convertible/coupe camp. Once you go topless, you can't go back... :D :D :D Peter
