    e-bay GEN III

    I don't mind that. No hidden reserves. The buyer can walk away without having to look back. Respectful! I really hate auctions that look interesting until it turns out the undisclosed reserve is truely ridiculous (sometimes way more than street price). What a waste of time to have to follow...

    Skip shift eliminator

    This works great if you don't mind cutting off the connector and using good splices (also just a few cents) or solder the wires to the $0.007 resistor (Mouser Electronics - Electronic Component Distributor). However, for those that aren't gurus with electronics, the CAGS eliminator is very...

    ATTENTION: ALL Viper Owners...PLEASE...

    Why on earth would anybody put their keys in the trunk? I can't imagine a situation where it would end up there (unless I get robbed and the robber locks me into the trunk...)

    DANG, this car makes my Comp COupe hood look good!

    I agree. That front bumper reminds me of Jay Leno... :D

    Am I a Viper clean FREAK??

    Reasons to wash (for me) -Obvious layer of dust (like after 2-3 weeks of driving) -Rain / rain drops => immediate washing to avoid water spots

    Skip shift eliminator

    Unless it's a "two-in-one" like the one I suggested. It works more like an "extension cord" where one end plugs into the transmission and the other end into the wire (=no dangling wires)

    Skip shift eliminator

    Works fine. Make sure you get a 250 ohm version. Should last forever. (Some of these seem to be made with 25 ohms and then it's likely they will not last long - 25 ohms will put 6 watts through the unit compared to 0.6 watts with 250 ohm). I got a 25 ohm version off eBay. Never installed it...

    Imploding Windows?!?!

    Seems like all incidents so far are on Coupes only, or has this happened to Roadsters too?

    Door speaker adapter rings

    I'm interested too. (Powder coating them black would be a nice inexpensive touch).

    Why did youbuy a Viper ??

    Three main reasons: -Engine volume & low end torque -Styling / want something different than everybody else has -Z06 does not come as convertible/roadster

    Stickers in door sill

    Absolutely! I removed *all* those pesky side sill stickers on the day of delivery. Waited for a hot day to remove the visor stickers (they will easily peal off when the car has been sitting out in the sun for a couple of hours).

    Brake noise

    Good advice Jon! I really need to check this. Normally I don't hear any squeals, but sometimes I hear a faint squeal when slowly pulling into the garage. I guess the acoustics of a garage would amplify a noise that normally cannot be heard... Hmmm.. When thinking more about it: I *never* hear...

    Sirius Question?

    Never had any static. The only problem is that Sirius goes dead for a few seconds when there are trees in the way blocking satellite reception...

    FS RB1 with current 08 disc

    Whoa! My disc is still in shrinkwrap and car is 13 months old... I guess I lost out on a free upgrade?!? :(

    Police Officer Faces Charges for Viper Crash

    If I recall correctly, it was the birthday of one of the two officers. That's why they rented it on that very day although they were both on duty...

    What to do with gas cap while fueling?

    Just detach it at both ends. That way you can use the tether later if you wish... Or get one of those small black self adhesive hooks. I recall someone mentioning that their 08 came from the factory with a self adhesive hook attached... FWIW, my 06 had both hook (welded on the inside of the...

    Viper crash

    Autobahn safety requires that slower traffic keeps right and that it's illegal to pass a car on its right hand side. Unfortunately passing on the right is legal here in the US, and retraining all drivers is probably impossible... Autobahn impossible :(

    Subwoofer grille removal advice

    Now I'm confused... What do you mean with "rear plastic surround" ?

    Most Expensive Sports Cars To Insure

    That list looks like pure nonsense to me... It lists the Viper Converible as most expensive @ $2580. The Ford Mustang is way down on the list @ $1221... I pay about the same insurance premium for my 2002 Mustang GT as I pay for my 2008 Viper... (I guess the Viper is 20% more but that's...

    Subwoofer grille removal advice

    I understand the grille is just pushed on... However, I'm unsure if it's only the metal mesh part that pulls off, or does both the plastic ring and mesh pull off at the same time... I tried to pull gently but it would not budge. I figure that I better ask somebody before trying again...

    Battery

    Like everyone else say, the battery will drain within 3-6 weeks. I'm afraid your battery is probably in need of replacement again - unless you have maintained it with a trickle charger. (The battery in my 2006 lasted 18 months before it died. Again, like everyone says, the battery life will...

    skip shift eliminator for 08

    Sounds like you got totally wrong eliminator! I used the exact same type of eliminator for my 2008 and 2006. (Incidentally it's also the exact same eliminator used on my former 2004 Corvette Z06).

    Help! no wheel sensors.

    Seatbelt ding can be disabled... (Just had my DRL enabled and seatbelt ding disabled). I don't recommend disabling it if there's any chance that you might forget to wear your seatbelt though. I like it disabled, because it's frustrating to have to listen to the annoying ding when you forgot...
