    Nice review of the Viper TA

    Yeah! Nice to see a reviewer who "gets" what the car is supposed to be, and isn't constantly complaining about visibility or noise. Thanks for the post!

    All Chrysler Nationala at Carlisle Pa

    Hmmm. Full beard, eh... I was wearing my white SRT polo, and doing my best to hobknob without being a pest... If not, I was chained to a tree to prevent myself from driving the autocross course and using my lack of talent to wrap my car in a fence.

    Carlisle Chrysler Nationals, July 11-13, 2014

    What a sweltering couple days at the show. I just got back, and was there all day yesterday and some of the day today. Dodge was there doing some owner profiles for the internet, and I got chosen for an interview. Not sure how long they take to post, but on Dodge's Twitter feed, I found they...

    Viper production continues...2015 model?

    For those of you clamouring for CCBs, I stumbled across some from Brembo for the Gen V car. $17,000 for the front kit, and $16,000 for the rear kit. And while I'm sure that "mass" production would bring the price down a bit, it wouldn't be much. And lest y'all forget, here is a...

    I'm coming from just as far away, but from the North, so I shall not be joining your convoy. But I'll see you cats there!

    All Chrysler Nationala at Carlisle Pa

    John! I'll be there tomorrow morning around nineish. I'm meeting a couple other guys early to drive down from Williamsport, PA. As long as I get aimed at a Viper Corral, then I'll see y'all there.

    Viper production continues...2015 model?

    Well, as y'all know, the 2015 Stryker Purple has been unveiled... http://www.allpar.com/forums/topic/155542-2015-viper-colors/page-2 Got one from Mark Trostle's Twitter account, and there are a couple others floating around on the forums above. This 2015 Viper was on display at the 100th...

    P0456 Evap System Small Leak

    Possibly a bit of both. It sounded like they were busy. I'm sure that they wouldn't get too many inquiries like that from Viper people. I certainly wouldn't expect them to drop everything and ask everyone. It's kind of an oddball question, I think. For them to be able to tell what flash update...

    P0456 Evap System Small Leak

    Thanks, Bob. Back in the day, the car would test itself at each start-up. I drove it again the other day and there's no change to the code. I hit up the Vehicle Assistance mode from in the car, but they really can only help with UConnect stuff. They couldn't tell me what my PCM part number was...

    American Racing Headers + 373 gears + MCS suspension = Awesome Ride

    Defect in rear hatch 2013 with strip package

    Like GTSR 91's article says, and like we all know, these cars are all hand painted and assembled. I'd have a hard time believing something like that made it past quality control. A blemish on a high-gloss black finish is usually visible from like, other planets. Maybe there was a layer of the...

    P0456 Evap System Small Leak

    Thanks Steve! Yeah, I don't see an option to clear the code from the instrument panel. It may require disconnecting the battery, and I don't want to do that. I have a Diablosport Predator for my old 300 that I might be able to use to clear the code, but I'm too lazy. I'll just drive the car...

    P0456 Evap System Small Leak

    Wouldn't you know it, my Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) turned itself on while I was at Watkins Glen last weekend. Awesomely, the Gen V cars will tell you their own codes, thusly: Back from my mechanic days at the Chrysler/Jeep dealership, this Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) was one of the...

    Challenger Hellcat gets 707HP!

    This picture of SRT's future pretty much answers the "halo" questions. The Viper will remain the halo car until at least 2019. First, I think it's incredibly awesome that Dodge/SRT would produce such an insanely-powered car. We really are living in another golden age of the automobile. I...

    #93 Viper Pitstop - Watkins Glen

    Re: #93 Viper Pitstop - Watkins Glen (removed privacy from video) Hey!! Cool video, man! That was Ralph Gilles right there at the end! I went on a Pit Tour on Sunday during the race. Here's my perspective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swUsBE49D-k

    Doors open at seven o'clock a.m. What time is the convoy, and where will it take off from? I like convoys. I will get my Coors mesh-back hat and ruler-print suspenders!!!

    Came Across This Today; 2010 Dodge Viper / Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale

    I had no idea this car existed! I think it's extremely cool. But $700,000??? Only if I made $2MM a year. And I don't.

    My new GT3-R inspired GTS

    I don't mean to be horribly rude, but... what does a wrap cost these days? That is extremely awesome.

    A Note to Dodge

    Although I would commend any manufacturer to keep their finger on the pulse of the community, there are thousands of opinions on the internet. Paying a team of social networkers just to keep up and surf forums would be a waste of corporate money. I don't think Dodge would put too much time into...

    What kind of Viper would you prefer?

    I voted for "Fastest thing on the road", but I kind of feel that's not quite it. I think with as fast as the market is moving, any car will only enjoy two or three years "on top" before it's eclipsed by something else. It's like trying to have the best mobile phone. As soon as a product is...
