The "lifter" noise is normal. There are many posts on it here and you can do a search and find them.
Also, My brother has a Carrera 4 S. Nice car, but he becomes flush with embarassment everytime he tries to challenge the mighty Viper.
I agree. Goldie's looked sweet, and I'm usually not a BLING fan.I have thought that if the clear finish ever wears off, I will send them out for chroming as a winter project.
Its parked on RAP (recycled asphault product) at a small air strip near my home. Very firm material; less damaging than the pothole and ice salt and sand infested roads of New England. Basically it packs like asphault, but softer. Airplanes like it. No damage done.
I do love the H wheels. 1 of...
First they have to produce the darn thing and get it to the automotive press.
I don't think there is any question, however, that performance wise the VIPER WILL SMOKE the Zo6, but I bet the spoiled old baby boomer writers with their traction controlled, hybrid lovin, politically correct...
I have had two black Vipers and find it is the best looking and classiest color but it must be kept clean. The best part is you will almost be forced to keep it clean since the dirt will show, but you will have the peice of mind your vehicle is well cared for. Remeber, no matter what color you...
Mine leaks in the exact spots you mention but only when direct water pressure is applied at those points. No leaking when I lightly spray these areas or when I (unfortunatley) got caught in moderate rain.
The fact that the news of that offer alone caused Diamler Chrysler's stock to rise to it highest level in 7 years speaks volumes to the very real possibility the Chrysler Group will be sold. Even if management was to want to hold the Chrysler Group, that kind of effect on the stock value will...
I concur with Fred, my second BLACK Viper was delivered in January and cold tires and/or weather will spell trouble at ANY speed. The torque is enough to break the rear end loose at almost any speed especially at air temps under 50 and since the rubber compound is especially hard on the...
I think much like Andrew said, they have already committed to the 08's and are moving along (god knows in what capacity) regardless of what happens with a buyout in the event a buyout does not occur. I know in my business and almost all others, a deal isn't a deal until you show me the money and...
As has been said on other posts, it is possible they are withholding production reports in an effort to protect the dealers as they sell off the last 06's. At the same time, if Tator thinks a May/June delivery and they have NOT produced any yet then they would be hard pressed to build and ship...
As a subscriber to Automotive News, I have been checking weekly to see if any Viper production numbers have been reported and so far the North American production reports look like this:
----------- 1/1/07- ------ 2/1/07- ----- 3/1/07-
----------- 1/31/07 ------ 2/28/07...
Having lived in CA and now back in my shameful home state shared by Kerry and Kennedy I can tell you one thing I have solice in as I go through life with nitwit super left-wing moonbats....
I make my living renting office space to businesses that make thier living taking money primarily from...
Well said Kmg99,
More to the point, you can't take the paint with you if you move, but you can take the Racedek (and other brand) unadhered tiles. Since they cost around $3 psf for the materials, the only only other expense is your sweat equity, which can be reinvested in another home minus the...
When I bought my first Viper I had a typical old time Mass-hole ask me in a cynical way at a gas station...
"What kind of rich boy car is THAT? A Ferrari?"
To which I replied,
"No,actually its a Dodge"
and he responded..
(laughing) "You must think I was born yesterday!"
I retorted...
I struggled with this question for a long time. This was my rationale...
Coupe is better looking
Coupe is more stable
Coupe is better in poor weather
Coupe is quieter at high speeds (than top up on vert)
Coupe is Track/Strip friendly
Coupe can never be a Vert
BUT...
Vert is sexier
Vert is...
I am assuming the valve noise you are all talking about is that "tick-ticking" noise just like you would hear when an old muscle car had a bad lifter (but not as bad)?
am I describing this accurately? Since I have noticed it at warmer engine temps.
