    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...

    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...

    How Fast???

    Without admitting to the legality or non-legality of your drive, how fast have you driven your Viper and what was it like? What gear were you in and do you want to take it faster?

    Pulling hard at 100MPH+

    I drove the Viper to work this morning. Had a bit of a hangover. Its amazing what the car does at 100+ MPH. Hitting 130 is so much fun! Can't wait to get it up to 150+.

    Viper Owners as Ambassadors for Dodge

    One of the interesting side effects of owning an SRT-10, is the fact that you're constantly approached by people interested in the car. This gives you an opportunity to be a one-person representative for Dodge. Unfortunately, some Viper owners (including myself) have had very unpleasant...

    Viper 2 WRX 0

    I trashed another WRX this morning about 5:30am. The guy was waiting for the to make a left turn on the (mostly) deserted highway. When I pulled up behind him (single lane turn), he revved up and as soon as the light changed he took off fast. Since it was about 28degrees, and my car had...

    Why did you buy your Viper?

    I'm kind of curious about the purchasing motives of other Viper buyers. I bought my Viper because I wanted a "hot looking, high performance" convertible. I drive it a lot and don't worry too much about little rock dings and such. In that regards I'm quite happy with the car (although the high...

    Parking Topless

    Anyone got any thoughts on this? Shame on you! Dirty minds! I meant do you leave the top down on your SRT when you park it outside in a lot? I do it all the time and so far I've never had any trouble (Other than a bird crapped on the center console one time. Sure glad it missed the speaker).

    RPS CLUTCH/FLYWHEEL INSTALL PROBLEM

    The service department just called and said that after installing an RPS Pro Max Clutch and Cyn-R-G Flywheel, that the transmission causes the throwout bearing to press in on the fingers of the pressure plate, partially disengaging the clutch. Has anyone seen this problem before or have an...

    Clutch Problems/VIN Check

    Hello all. I bought an '03 Viper new in April of this year. Yesterday I had to take it in because of the clutch slipping (the car had 4200 miles on it). I was wondering if my car was one of the ones built during the "pressure plate bolt torque" era. My VIN is 1B3JR65Z93V501790. Thanks for...
