    I see where the oil filter is at, now where is the drain plug?

    I did a search and found several great pics showing where the filter is, now where is the drain plug located on the pan? Front or back? Saw a pic of most of the front part of the pan and couldn't make out the plug, so my guess is at the rear. Would make it a lot easier to do my own oil changes...

    Heat extractor hood and washing the car.

    Sorry for this newbie question, but I washed the SRT 10 yesterday and I guess it is just a fact of Viper life that water gets in the engine compartment (not on the engine) thru the gills, especially when you open the hood to dry the areas you cannot get to with it closed? Dave

    More info on paint protection film: some shrink/some don\'t Hi everyone, Here is some more information on paint protection film. I talked to some manufacturers of SRT 10 paint film kits who use 3M type film for the pieces, and was told that this film cannot be exposed to high heat like what...

    '04 SRT 10 initial driving impressions vs. corvette

    \'04 SRT 10 initial driving impressions vs. corvette Hi everyone, The rain relented early in the afternoon so I took the Viper out for a drive this evening. Still in break in so nothing over 4,000 rpm. Not a lot of throttle, just cruising mostly. My previous car was modified and put 393 HP to...

    Trickle charger?

    It has been suggested that I buy a trickle charger with auto shutoff for the SRT 10. I know the diff between a trickle and fast charge, but I saw a product called the "Battery Tender" that uses a computer chip to maintian proper charge when it is charging the car battery. Anyone have any...

    Thank you Woodhouse!

    Hi everyone, I took delivery of my Viper Red 2004 SRT 10 this morning at 8:30. Delivery was great. Thanks to Bill K. and his charming wife for a nice delivery experience. Everything was explained to me and the car came off the truck flawless. Fit and finish are above any Corvette I have owned...

    Info on 3M for rocker panels.

    Hi everyone, The recent threads about the sandblasting of the rocker panels got me worried about the car I'm getting, so I have been looking for the 3M tape. Anyways, I got in touch with a company called Stongard, www.stongard.com, and they sell several different kits for the SRT 10. I called...

    My red 2004 is on the way!

    Hi everyone, Got the word yesterday that my red 2004 SRT 10 left Woodhouse and I'll have it here in Atlanta sometime tomorrow. I've been a poster on this board since 2001, and like Hans said in his post, it will be nice to be a "true" member of the club. I put off buying a Gen II a couple...

    Which MGW shift knob?

    While waiting to place my '04 order, I thought I might get some accessories to look at while I wait. Anyone got a preference between the two MGW shift knobs? Both look great. Is one shorter than the other? The First Strike looks like it might be better for quick shifting. Which one feels more...

    When will Dodge begin accepting 2004 orders?

    I have my place almost at the front of the line at Woodhouse for an '04. Thanks Bill P! Anyone know when I'll be able to place an "official" order? With Corvette, it was always right after the company wide GM 2 week shutdown, either the first 2 weeks of June or July. Dave

    Who is driving the red RT 10 Venom 650 in Dunwoody, Georgia?

    I've seen this vehicle twice in carpool at my son's pre-school off Tilly Mill Road in greater Atlanta. Male driver. I've tried twice to say hey, but you have to stay in line or the security guys get all geeked out. The owner got in and started it up and it sounds awsome. Incredible thunderumble...

    Eagle One Wax As You Dry

    If this is in the wrong forum, please forgive me. I didn't see a detailing related forum here. I have always used Meguire's paste wax. Never cared for Zaino, personally. Has anyone tried this product? Sure would save some elbow grease. You just spritz a couple times on each body panel after...

    Cost of insurance?

    I was wondering if I will see a big jumnp in rates going from a 2002 Corvette to a 2004 Viper? Basically, I have my house and two other cars insured with my insurance carrier. I have a completely clean driving record. No tickets for 9 years. I get a multi-car discount. Has anyone been thru...

    Anyone ever thought they would be carjacked in their Viper?

    Just curious about this. There have been a few cases in my residential development (about 1500 homes) where thugs have followed people driving high-line autos home and then car jacked them when they pull into their driveways. I'm usually cautious, but hope this isn't a problem for Viper owners...

    70,000 mile powertrain pledge?

    Are the SRT 10s covered by the 70K powertrain warranty I've seen advertised on other Dodge products? What are the particulars of this? Isn't there a deductible? Thanks. Dave

    Model Year 2004 doesn't seem that far away anymore.

    Model Year 2004 doesn\'t seem that far away anymore. I got in line for a 2004 at Woodhouse with Mr. P. in June 2003. I'm supposed to get the #2 2004 Woodhouse gets in. I was thinking maybe September. That's only 6 months away! After 10 months already 6 doesn't sound too long. Think I'll get...

    Need suggestions for personalized plate

    Hi guys, I need some help with a vanity plate for my '04 SRT-10. Any suggestions would be great. They can be snake-related, or performance-related. I thought of IXLR8, but it was taken, or HIOFICR or HOWFAST (hehehe!), but thought that might be asking to get stopped. How about 500X3? I'll take...

    Am I crazy to base a house purchase on this?

    Hi guys, Just want your opinion. I have my current house for sale because my wife took a new job closer in to Atlanta and her commute is long. We are going to move closer in, and go up in price a good bit too. I have looked, and one of my criteria in a new house is a 3 car garage, as my wife...

    SRT 10 owners: ease of oil change?

    How does it look under the car for doing your own oil changes. All this presupposes a lift or ramps to get under there! I do my own on my Vette and want to do them on my SRT 10. Dave

    If you are thinking about buying an SRT 10 online:

    Got this in a Porsche e-newsletter. Interesting reading about escrow scams on autotrader and Ebay. Caveat Emptor. http://www.msnbc.com/news/854552.asp?Ocl=cR&cp1=1#BODY Dave

    Black SRT 10 spotted today in Duluth, Georgia (Atlanta)

    I was coming home from looking at new homes in the area and saw a black SRT 10 pulling out of a neighborhood called Winfield on the River located on 141 in the North Atlanta 'burbs. Will the owner chime in if he's on the board? How do you like it? Dave

    Who thinks the SRT 10 will have 1st year problems?

    Not trying to be controversial here, but I was a 2001 ZO6 buyer, and GM ended up repurchasing my car for oil consumption issues, a quart every 400 miles. GM was great about it, so I really have no complaints about how I was treated. I didn't have a certificate, so wasn't in a position to get...
