    Nadar Moton mounts in a GenIV?

    That install took longer than I'd like to admit...definitely worth it though.

    Nadar Moton mounts in a GenIV?

    It's tight on that side, but definitely doable.

    Dash paint ?

    It's some sort of textured soft-touch coating, and it isn't very durable. It can be pulled and re-coated, but it isn't the most fun piece to wrestle out of the car. Doable, but not fun.

    Nadar Moton mounts in a GenIV?

    No relocation...just some minor drilling:

    Update...where to find Mobil 1 at the best price?

    Wal-Mart has 5 qt jugs of Mobil 1 0w40...I have yet to see a better price (it was ~$25 per jug the last time I looked).

    Gen V Composite Intake Manifold on a Gen IV

    Same question, and one more: do you need to modify the heads for whatever torque limiting fasteners are used, or can you get away with unmodified Gen 4 heads and careful tightening?

    Who has removed sun visors?

    My wife has found them useful before, but she's 5'4". At 6'4", it blocks my entire field of view.

    Opinion needed - tint windshield yes or no?

    The only cars that I've seen with tinted windshields were show cars (or at least used primarily for that purpose). I'd think it would generate a lot of interest from the cops, not that a Viper doesn't already do that. That would make it not worth it to me.

    Cylinder heads spark plug holes tapered or not?

    Bad info...just changed the plugs in my '08, and they were definitely tapered seat.

    FIRE..!!!!!

    Ouch...did the ethanol eat the lines, or was it just a freak failure?

    Transmission is difficult to shift! Please help

    It should move some, unless solid motor and transmission mounts are used. It should shift a fair amount with rubber mounts, and a bit less with poly (probably about half in my experience).

    Transmission is difficult to shift! Please help

    Transmission fluid is probably okay, clutch fluid is probably not. The clutch fluid needs changed often, especially if driving it hard.

    Transmission is difficult to shift! Please help

    Start with the easy stuff...bleed the clutch fluid first, change the transmission fluid next if that hasn't been done in a while. One of the biggest culprits of hard WOT shifting is the clutch not fully disengaging...aftermarket clutches seem to have this problem more than OEM ones do...

    Car and Driver Piles on the C7 vs Viper Bandwagon

    Why? Because it has functional air conditioning, cruise control, and government mandated traction/stability control? The magazine guys are still all afraid to drive it...sounds like they kept the Viper's soul to me.

    Changing Clutch Fluid

    I don't think it would matter to be honest...I think as soon as you crack the bleeder screw, fluid comes out the end as well as around the threads, hence why you get so much fluid dripping out the bottom of the bell housing. At least that's been my experience.

    Changing Clutch Fluid

    I've used Ate Typ 200 DOT 4 fluid in the past, but if Motul 600 is available at motorcycle shops locally, I might try that instead since I always have to order the Ate fluid.

    Gen-4 Guys... possible reasonably priced tuning solution...?

    If the difference is $1k to gain control of all of that stuff, then in my mind that would be $1k well spent.

    Changing Clutch Fluid

    For clutch fluid?

    Currently own an ISF, convince me to get a SRT-10...

    As has already been stated, the issue is the tire size...manufacturers just don't make all season or winter tires in sizes that you see on a Viper (the 345 rears especially). Summer rubber compounds get hard and slick at anything below about 40-50 degrees, so that will be your limiting factor...

    Beyond The 2014 Viper?

    Awesome...a Dodge Corvette. Just what the world needs.

    Amplifier wiring harness

    I installed what's in my signature block, and ran new speaker wires since it wasn't too difficult. The Kenwood amp I used fits under the passenger seat in place of the factory amp.

    Gen-4 Guys... possible reasonably priced tuning solution...?

    I understand what you are talking about here, and that's exactly what I'm trying to say (again, my opinion only): people aren't really looking for a standalone option (at least not me). It just sucks compared to being able to harness the computing power (and sensors) already on board. The...

    Gen-4 Guys... possible reasonably priced tuning solution...?

    Priced similarly? Of course not, but at the same time, I'd at least hope it is in the same ball park. To me, $4k-$5k isn't in the same ball park. That's more along the lines of an order of magnitude different.

    Gen-4 Guys... possible reasonably priced tuning solution...?

    Keep in mind that I don't have any intent to put a blower/turbo/nitrous on my Gen 4, so I'm likely not your intended market. That said, to me, my ceiling is the price of the Mopar PCM + install, which is already too high. I think people really want to be able to use the power that already...

    Currently own an ISF, convince me to get a SRT-10...

    I'll take a stab at some of these: - I prefer the 2006+ coupe to the convertible soft-top, are there any other major differences between the years? 2006 was the first year for the coupe in the SRT-10, and generally they command a higher price (lower supply). There were no 2007 cars, so...
