    08 cabin heat question

    Can you please expand on this. I am familiar with the "drive by wire" concept, and the negatives that can be programmed in with electric nannies ( like delay power delivery to avoid wheelspin) but how is it a negative on the Viper? I am very interested in hearing what you think about it. Is it...

    08 cabin heat question

    Hi all, have been away for a while and am looking for a new snake. I had 2 06 coupes( an FE and a VOI 9), and I see I can buy a nice 06 for mid to high 50s. More money will get me an 08.I would prefer to save a few bucks than buy brand new. I was mostly happy with the 06, but cabin heat was...

    What is latest thinking on IPOD??

    I have used the I-Trip and did not like it at all. It drained the battery rapidly, and the sound quality was not so good. I have tried other makes of fm adapters as well with similar results. My advice is hardwire either using an adapter that allows full control utilization, or the 1/8 phone...

    where to start time to buy!!

    Well thank you all for the responses. I will say based on replies that I am close, only one person said I was off. I started looking and saw a new 08 for 76900. That is insane!!! When I bought my second 06, I paid 80k, and thought I did well ( brand new VOI9). This is newer and some considerable...

    where to start time to buy!!

    Hi all, after viewing a post in regards to the current low prices, I have decided to buy yet another viper. I have owned 3. I am told I can buy an 06 coupe in the mid 40s and an 08 for 60! This is incredible. What a great car for a low price. If this is correct, is the 08 worth the extra 15k or...

    Question for you guys, Buying an SRT10

    Hello, I have been away for a bit, say five or six months. Are you saying an 06 coupe can be had for 45k or so? I sold mine in September for 62k and felt like I got clubbed over the head!! Is that where things are now, or am I understanding this wrong. By the way, good luck with whatever you...

    New VOI9 coupe value?

    I paid 80 even for mine. If you can live without the latest version, it leaves a fair amount of change. You can build your own 600 HP!

    loud banging in rear (sounds funny eh)

    Hi all, the other day, I was out in my 06 coupe, it was about 40 degrees, so ground was pretty cool, car was run easy for about 15 minutes, and I did a moderate roll on in first up to about 4grand, maybe a little higher, but not too much more. As the tires broke loose, I heard a sound like a...

    DLM SC INSTALL

    Hey Hiss, thanks for the in depth reply. I bet those new gears are lots of fun. I would imagine 6th is just too low to be a top speed gear, regardless of the rear. I believe it is .5? If so, then it will be a cruise gear. Those tires look great!!!! I too hope they dont blister from street use...

    DLM SC INSTALL

    Hi Hiss, great install, will the 3.55's lower top speed, or will it make 6th a usable gear? With 3.07's, top speed is accomplished in 5th gear. On the Hoosier's, are they lighter than the run flats? Do they have any tread at all, or are they slicks? I understand not driving in the rain, as I...

    06 Coupe could I sell it

    I sold my 06fe with 600 miles for 71k. It was not easy to sell. It sold Sept of 06. My car had no mods whatsoever, but I don't think that hurts or helps. Just depends on the buyer. Really sad, as these are great cars.

    anyone have a line on 06 coupe for sale near NJ??

    Hi all, I have been seeing some real good prices on 06 models these days. I would prefer to buy now and mod, instead of waiting for 08. I am in NJ. Does anyone have a line on a coupe for 72k or less? I just missed a copper coupe 500 miles at 67k. I have found many places that will sell at 72k...

    CLUTCH NOISE - NEED ADVISE

    Mine does the same, so did my 97 gts. I was told it is neutral gear rattle, something in the design of the trans. That makes sense to me, depressing the clutch will slow or stop the trans mainshaft and quiet it down. It is a little annoying, but doesn't seem to affect anything as far as...

    viper as a driver/ residual value?

    thanks guys, no I didn't buy it as an investment, and really didnt care that I was paying full list to have it. I wanted #68, as that number is significant to me. I have other cars and trucks to drive in winter. My insurance is only 1050 per year on this car which I think is ok. Its just my...

    viper as a driver/ residual value?

    Hi all, after being unsucsessful in selling my ride, I am at a point where I must make a decision. If I were to use my 06 coupe as my driver, and put approx 15k per year on it, what do you think it would be worth in say, 2 years assuming I take very good care of it. (no snow and so on). I paid...

    inspection sticker

    Hi all, I have an 06 coupe, which I have been driving with the inspection sticker in the console compartment. In nj, stickers are required, but if I put it in the traditional spot,(left lower corner) it blocks my vision a little. This was ok on my 97 gts as the windshield wrapped around but not...
