    New appreciation

    Since I got my '01 RT-10 three and a half years ago, the car finally has some company now. It's a new SUV. The point is, the Viper was an absolute work horse for 40+ months as my "daily (and only) driver." Drove like a champ. (and not exactly highway miles) Constant driving has it's...

    End Lease to Purchase conversion. Help appreciated.

    The bank notified me that I have 10 payments left before my 48 month lease on my '01 Sapphire Blue RT/10 is up. They're suggesting I convert the lease and buy the car now. The company I work for has generously made all the monthly payments, and will continue to lease end. They're also...

    gauges

    35 months now since my car's "born on" date so I had it in the shop to take care of some interior and trim issues, that I know will not be covered under the extended. The Dodge Dealer (no names) took care of the issues and delivered the car to me fully washed and detailed. Unfortunately, the...

    Florida Viper moving to Vegas. Advice appreciated.

    Looks like I'll be calling Henderson, NV my new home at the end of '04. I'm going to miss it here alot and I'm admittedly a bit nervous about the change. I grew up down here in Ft. Lauderdale, went to UF for 4 years, came back to S. Florida and have lived in Broward or Palm Beach counties ever...

    Speed Sensor, Florida Red #91 Bitten, RT-10 Back Window

    Well, I went into Accardi Dodge on Friday (formerly Pompano Beach Dodge) to get my speedo looked at. (I posted a message here last week that the needle would flick up to 120mph for no reason....at idle) Was not the battery, but infact the speed sensor which according to parts dept is on...

    0 to 120 in snap! Please help

    Ya know, at first I thought it was my imagination. Once in a while I'd be sitting at a light and I'd swear the speedo would flick up to 100+. Today I caught it! I was actually looking right at the speedometer while sitting at a light at idle, and watched the needle flick up to 120 mph right...

    Seat lowering kit observations

    2 years out of the showroom and 10,000 miles later, I finally got around to putting in the Northwind seat lowering kit that I've read so much about on this site. (I should have done this WAY earlier) I'm 6' tall and although the mod may have never been a necessity, I thought it would truely be...

    Robb Report on Viper

    Was skimming through a recent copy of Robb Report this weekend and was surprised to find a Viper review inside. Had only good things to say. Here's one of the more memorable analogies: "It's like a big, friendly dog that you can pat vigorously, every palm-smack eliciting a solid, meaty...

    Airing it out

    Had my daily driver RT/10 a year and a half now and it's almost hard to believe it hasn't been on a road trip ...until now. Start point was Boca Raton and I took it 2 1/2 hours north to a convention in Orlando. Had the soft top on, and driving conditions were sunny and cool. (high 60s)...

    New Florida Plate This Weekend - Pic

    Got a new tag this weekend and I had to take a quick pic and share it. I'm really hooked on this vehicle and I think this plate shows much more Viper spirit than my old tag. Will in all likelihood change this to my new avatar but if you compare it with my old one, you may see some additional...

    Soft top on during road trip

    I'm going to be going a road trip next week and was wondering how durable the RT/10 soft top is over a lengthy drive. Ya know how you see some rag tops on the highway, and when they start moving at a pretty good clip the convertible top starts to "bubble up." I wouldn't imagine this being the...

    Update XM Radio in Viper

    Been a few months now that I've had XM radio in my RT/10 and have had no "side effects" to report. After my first post on the subject, someone replied by saying the internally mounted XM antenna was causing them headaches. I simply don't believe it. Mind you, I HAVE HAD some positive news to...

    First ticket - It had to come sooner or later

    Wish I could tell you it was a major drama and I got nabbed for doing a huge sideways slide right in front of a State Trooper but I have no such story to pass on. Comin' North on Federal Hwy in Pompano (3 lanes wide) at 12:30 am doin 62 in 45 and missed the Florida Highway Patrol unit on the...

    Down shifting question .....and other stuff

    Hi All: It's been a while since I've been on here and I see there are quite a few changes, new faces etc. - Last time I posted was about the 3" Corsa system with HF cats I had just gotten from Jon B, and I'm still happy as ever with this particular set up. I mean I drive the car every day and...

    "Dated"...............face

    \"Dated\"...............face True story: Met a guy at the gas station last night who said he thought the body style of the Viper (Gen 2 car ...and gen 1 car for that matter) was "dated." He used that exact word..."dated." I explained to this moron that although he was entitled to an...

    Corsa Exhaust System - Observations

    It's coming up on a year (next week) that I will have had the pleasure of having my RT-10 for one year. It's like an anniversary for me. Knock on wood, I haven't gotten into trouble with it and I'm out there driving it anywhere between 28 and 31 days a month depending on the month. Yes, it's...

    Corsa 2 1/2

    Just about to pull the trigger here and take the plunge to upgrade the stock exhaust. After several phone calls with John at Parts Rack and an extensive Search on this board, it appears Corsa with the HF cats will be my choice. I've had most of my questions answered by some very friendly...

    Viper With Rice

    Mods on one's Viper seem to be as different and varied as the the different styles, color combos of the various years of cars and as different as the individual drivers who own and drive them. Seems like the right mod "applied" in just the right classy fashion is a statement about the driver...

    XM Satellite Radio - RT/10 Install

    I recently had XM Satellite Radio installed in my RT/10 and I thought I would share some ideas and pictures. I'm sure there are many variations on the theme. I did not do the install. Just knew what I wanted and where I wanted it. You may want to do it very differently. Antenna Biggest...

    Little Local Car Show - XM Radio

    Hi: It's been a while since I've been on the board and I'd like to say that that I like the "new look" of the home page and how well you can now navigate some of the features. Good job guys. Have also missed some recent smack, much of which was apparently locked or deleted, and has lead to at...

    2001 RT/10 - Split in Door Panel - Pictures

    I want to pass on an experience I recently had regarding the integrity of the interior of my 2001 RT/10. Don't get me wrong, the car's been great so far. I did however notice a long "split" inside the drivers door panel. I took three shots of the area and although not serious, you'd have to...

    green stuff rears squeak

    When I got the car the stock front pads squeaked. Switched to green stuff on the fronts and no more squeak, and no more dust. Then the ebc rears became available, had those put on and now I've put away the California Duster for good. Unfortunately, squeak is back, this time on the rears...

    New Car - Turn Key Issue Question

    '01 Sapphire Blue RT/10 6 months old now with just over 3K on it. Daily driver has been generally speaking treatin' me great. Question I have is regarding "turn key operation." I figure too early for me to be having battery probs and ordering an Optima. Sometimes when I turn the key it'll...

    S. FL - Who are those guys?

    Page 58, next to the inside back cover of the new Viper Quarterly magazine. What a cool shot. I almost fell off my chair at work. I live at Palmetto Pk Rd and A1A. That shot in the mag was I-95 and Palmetto heading north. Who are those guys? Where were they going? I drive my Viper EVERY...

    rattle identified - easy fix suggestions

    All in all it's been 6 months of the most enjoyable driving of my life. That's how long I've had my Viper now. There were some quirks at first but they're all but gone now. One of the lingering little annoyances is a sporatic "rattle" inside my RT/10. I'd look over at the passenger door...
