    Dead Battery...how do I get in?

    My SRT has a dead battery. I had surgery on my shoulder and have been unable to drive it. The top is up and the windows are shut. Fortunately, I have a battery charger and can recharge the battery. Had this happened in another place, such as a mall parking lot, how could I get into the car...

    My girlfriend was wondering if your wives have any advice on how to keep her hair from getting messed up while driving with the top down. She has shoulder length hair and it goes all over the place. Any ideas would be appreciated... Tim

    FINALLY got my SRT!! (pics)

    I finally picked up my SRT-10 on Friday. This car is awesome! Very similar to drive as compared to my 98 GTS. This car attracts attention everywhere I take it, and I haven't found one person that didn't know it was a Viper (yet). It is the second one I've seen in person, and am very pleased...

    D-1 Status Question

    My SRT has been in D-1 status since March 3. I was wondering if anyone has any idea of how much longer I will have to wait until it is shipped. I'm in Pittsburgh, PA and my SRT is the only one that my dealership is getting. The weather's staring to break and I'm getting pretty anxious...

    ACR faster than SRT?

    In this months Motor Trend on p. 140 are the Road Test Results. The SRT's results are: 0-60 in 4.1 seconds and 1/4 mile in 12.4 seconds @ 117.2 mph. The ACR's results are: 0-60 in 4.1 seconds and 1/4 mile in 12.2 seconds @ 119.2 mph. Are these results accurate? They are very surprising...

    Does the reservation certificate date affect delivery of the SRT?

    I had my dealer fax my reservation certificate to Dodge on January 30, 2002. I noticed that others that have sent thier certificate in around the 22nd of January have been receiving thier SRT's. Does the date that the certificate was sent affect the delivery date of the SRT? Also, has anyone...

    98 GTS Missing and Sputtering/High Idle-HELP!!

    My 98 GTS has had a high idle problem for some time now. I usually just tap on the gas pedal when stopped and the idle returns to normal. Today, when driving to dinner, the service engine soon light came on and the car began to miss really bad-I had to pull off of the road because I was afraid...

    High Idle / Stalling Problem on 98 GTS

    When I come to a stop in my 98 GTS, it either idles high or nearly stalls. This is very embarrasing in crowded areas as I have to tap the gas pedal to keep it from stalling , which makes it seem as though I'm trying to show off. This occurs in all weather-I've had it happen in 40 degree and 80...

    Oyster Point Dodge...Opinions?

    I recieved a letter in the mail from Oyster Point Dodge in Virginia stating they will get me a 2003 SRT-10 for $100 over invoice. I would appreciate any feedback you may have about this dealership. I am probably going to end up ordering the car from them. Thanks, Tim

    Annoying Idle Problem....Solution?

    My 98 GTS, upon coming to a stop at a stop sign or red light, will sometimes almost stall. The RPMs will fall so low-that at night the headlights almost go out. At other times, upon coming to a stop, the idle will stick around 1500 RPMs. I then have to tap the gas pedal and the idle will fall...

    Awesome Dodge Viper Book

    At my regional Viper Club meeting last week, I won a book entitled: Dodge Viper, by Daniel F. Carney. This book traces the Viper from its introduction up to the all new SRT-10. It has over 200 color photos of all types of Vipers. I learned a lot about the Viper by reading it and I highly...

    My Auto Meter Shift Light is not working.......help?

    When my tachometer reaches the rpm that the shift light should come on, the tach just bounces up and down-and the light doesn't light up. When I remove the pill that tells it when to shift, the tach works fine. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks, Tim

    Will Viper gears fit in any other car?

    I currently own a set of ring and pinion gears for my 1998 Dodge Viper rear end. I am trying to sell them ($250 obo), but there aren't many Viper owners out there that need new gears-so I was wondering if there are any other cars that the Viper gears will fit. I had a Corvette C5 owner...

    The new grocery getter arrived today! (PIC)

    It is finally here! We ordered her in September of 1999. I got to drive it today, and all I can say is WOW!! It is unbelievably fast. It doesn't seem to have the torque of the Viper, but when it hits about 3,000 RPM, it really gets going. I used to think that I'd easily beat one of these on...

    BTR Nitrous Results II and Mopar Perf Comp. Results

    I had my 98 GTS dynoed again today in order to tune the nitrous system. Two weeks ago I had it dynoed and the a/f ratio was at 13, which was too lean. Today, we experimented with the propane jets...I had a 26 in it, and we tested with a 30 and a 32. Also, I dynoed my car with and without the...

    Mid Ohio 2 day advanced school before Viper days

    I plan on going to the Mid Ohio event...I will also probably sign up for the advanced school. Where are you staying in Ohio, and have you ever been to a Viper Days event before? I haven't, and I still have to sign up. I'll probably do it this week. Tim

    Question

    I raced at an 1/8th mile strip last summer. It is very hard to do well there as the Viper is just hooking up by the end of the strip! People would get the jump on me and I would be passing them (very quickly) by the end of the strip. Sorry, but the track I was at did not time our...

    Question for those with Hurst "Roll Control"

    Question for those with Hurst \"Roll Control\" I had my roll control installed today. The button to activate it is located on my shifter. When I'm driving down the road, it vibrates and drives me crazy...it is made of plastic- it doesn't seem very high quality. I have to hold my finger on it...

    BTR Viper Customer Service=A+++

    I took my 98 GTS to the Dodge dealership yesterday to have my BTR Nirous kit installed. Yesterday afternoon, they called me saying that a braded hose was missing from the NOS kit and the TPS selionoid was banged up due to shipping. I called Tom Welch and told him of the problem. He...
