    Delivery Checklist

    My car (03) came with two keys/remotes, a front license plate bracket w/installation kit. I understand the newer ones have floor mats and a trunk mat. I would real close at the lower front and behind the wheels for rock chip and/or curb damage. Also look real closely at the rims for signs of...

    Wierd Problem..... Let's see who gets it right.

    Re: Wierd Problem..... Let\'s see who gets it right. No doubt in my mind POSD! I had a very similar problem with my '03 with only 4k miles on it. Welcome to the world of dodge (the warranty).

    Mustang GT

    Not to offend the self-rightous or the posers, but yesterday coming home from work, had a guy (mid-30s) in a brand new Mustang GT, get lined up with me at a red light on a 55MPH road. Guy revved his 'stang and on the green made an impressive display of peeling rubber, I took off a littler...

    So I got pulled over again yesterday....

    It seems like Canada is following the USA in becoming more and more oppressive. For countries that glory in their freedom it is amazing how more and more individual rights are being trod upon. If you had mouthed off to a US cop about court and tickets, you would almost certainly have gotten...

    Do's and Don't's

    Re: Do\'s and Don\'t\'s Be aware of "gawk" factor. When driving a Viper, many other drivers will slow down or speed up to get a look at your car. This causes a disruption in the "traffic flow" that can be irritating (if you are trying to pull out on a busy street, you see a break in the...

    2003 SRT10 Clutch problems with only 4K miles

    The clutch went out in my '03 SRT-10 at 4k miles within 4 months after I bought the car new. The ***s at dodge(the warranty) refused to cover that as well. That's why I WILL NEVER BUY another DODGE, a CHRYSLER, or even a MERCEDES from that company. Even their top-of-the-line high performance...

    Did anyone take off their sun visors?

    I must have gotten lucky with my Viper. At 140mph the visors will stay in whatever position I put them in.

    05 Vette vs. 03 Viper

    No offense to all the vette lovers. I was just relating my experience with the three '05 vettes I test drove compared to my '03 Viper. (and I won't even get into the slug of a turbo-charged Saab (sob?) I drove). Other model vettes and modded out vettes are probably a totally different story...

    ***Wheel hop is GONE!!!***

    Wow. That is a great looking car Steve. (Looks just like mine!) Speaking of "killers" that must be a very dangerous shrub to have it fenced in like that. Can it say "Feed me Semore"?

    05 Vette vs. 03 Viper

    SnakeEye, I don't think I have ever complained about the looks and performance of the Viper (they are totally awesome), but I still think they have way too many build/reliabilty issues for a car in that price range, and my personal experience trying to deal with dodge (the warranty) on a...

    05 Vette vs. 03 Viper

    A couple of weeks ago, I participated in "Autos In Motion" in Denver. For those not familiar with it, it is sponsered by GM and you are allowed to drive GM vehicles and some of their competition (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc.). Showing up with one hell of a hangover and my face cut up and...

    Is this much oil leaking "normal"....

    Re: Is this much oil leaking Most SRT-10s seem to have their warts. Mine was (and is)clutch and diff. Yours seems to be oil leaks. I had a mechanic try to tell me the "oil" leak on my brand new 1976 Vega was "normal" -- BULLSHIT! I would tell dodge (the warranty) to either fix the goddamn...

    I lost my (or someone stole my) wheel locks

    Not mine, I superglued them on. ___________________________________ Great idea. Maybe you could superglue the wheels on as well!

    Cops keeping taking my damn money :(

    I never drive my Viper without the V1 doing its' job. If you ever get a speeding ticket (and you don't think you were really going that fast) ask (politely) if you can see the reading on his radar gun. If he refuses, that might help you out a bit in traffic court.

    How bad is it to rev your car?

    Personally, I wouldn't redline any of my cars at a standstill just to let people listen to my exhaust! 3 or 4k should be plenty enough revs to give them an idea of the sound. Back in the old days, some makers of high performance cams recommended revving the heck out of your cars when you first...

    A/C comes on, H20 leaks on passenger's feet?

    Re: A/C comes on, H20 leaks on passenger\'s feet? I think dodge has an accessory kit consisting of some rubber boots with the Viper logo on them. They are only $95.00 a pair and come in small, medium, and large (black only with a red logo).

    hardwire V1

    I guess it will work if you keep your reading lamp on all of the time (provided the circuit can handle the current). Let us know how it works out.

    Defrost Quits Blowing (due to freezing AC coils)

    Russell, Didn't you have to have your car flatbedded a couple of times when it was brand new? (or am I thinking of somebody else). I want to take my viper for a 2100 mile road trip this summer but all of the loud clanking tells me my diff/tranny/something would probably not make it. Why...

    Dealers are sometimes idiots!!!! Red mamba with 535HP!!!!

    Was it the Dealer or a salesman/woman? I learned a long time ago that if a car salesman tells you the truth during a sale, it is merely a coincident. Take everything they say as a lie (much like you have to do with the clintons) and rely on your on information sources when it comes to buying a...

    Differentials on national back order, no time frame.

    Let's hear it once again for how "bulletproof" the dodge Vipers are.

    could anyone post a pic of their master cylinder please

    Just curious, but why would anyone want a picture of a master cylinder? They're hardly awe inspiring from a design or beauty standpoint.

    Just bought a 05 SRT-10

    All the things you mentioned as negatives are IMO, just minor annoyances that you put up with for the raw excitement and fun of driving a Viper. The real problem (IMO), is the shoddy workmanship and unreliability of the cars, and most important of all dodge's (dodge the warranty) customer...

    I TOO GOT MY NEW 05 SRT YESTERDAY !!

    You have it hooked up Nitrous? Have fun, but seriously those big fat tires hook up real good on a hot day, but with all that torque, you can get wheel hop or break loose in a heartbeat and when the tires "grab a hold" you will launch in whatever direction you are currently pointing. The...
