    New Wizard for the Charlotte area...

    Welcome to town. I just sold my 2003 SRT vert, but the man to see in town is KC Howeth at Underground Racing. I believe that their website is www.undergroundracing.com and they are located just off of 77 and Tyvola (back behind the Jaguar dealership). You will be surprised to find that they...

    Viper coupe or Prowler?

    Hmmmm.....it's like comparing Ginger and Mary Ann? Truth is, I'd do them both. You've got the movie star thing and the girl-next-door thing going. Mrs. Howell may even start to look good, depends on how long you've been on the island. I would, however, probably take my own life if the Skipper...

    Viper coupe or Prowler?

    Socrates, do you like the Prowler? I owned a Viper, I know that it will run circles around the Prowler, and I am not comparing them in that regard. I am just looking for something to cruise in that would be cool to have and collect. I may get a new coupe because the speed is nice, but where I...

    Viper coupe or Prowler?

    The Prowler would just be for cruising and filling up the extra garage space. I know the performance is nothing like the Viper, but is it terrible? The exhaust note is pretty good and the wow factor in terms of looks is a 10. Heard that the Prowler tax is high, as with any limited production...

    Viper coupe or Prowler?

    Just recently sold my 2003 black vert. Looking for another car now, probably a 2006 Coupe with stripes or maybe a Prowler. While I am familiar with the Viper, anyone have an opinion on the Prowler? I know that it doesn't have a trunk, but is there anything else that I won't like about it...

    Thinking about renting a Gen3 in vegas

    YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY DO THIS!!! My friends and I rented a GTS and F355 about 5 years ago from Dream Car Rentals in Vegas. The Viper was about $500/24 hours and the F348 about $800/24 hours. Other than the prostitute that my friend hooked up with, he (and I) said that it was one of the best...

    Thoughts on trading in 01 GTS Bumblebee for 06 BB Coupe

    You can stripe the vert, but it doesn't look good with the top up, ruins the continuity of the stripes. The SRT vert styling is more tame than the SRT coupe or GTS, especially the back end, and I think that most would agree. When people typically think of a viper, I think the picture includes...

    Thoughts on trading in 01 GTS Bumblebee for 06 BB Coupe

    At this point in time, forget about a car becoming a "collector", this is my opinion (just my opinion) of which Viper I would want if money were no object. Keep in mind that I have a 2003 black SRT vert. 1. SRT coupe w/stripes (w/b then b/w, r/w, y/b, b/s...) 2. SRT coupe w/out stripes (red...

    hey, new member, got a question

    Don't mean to bother you with more fan responses. FYI- I used to live in Tampa and almost bought your Father's 96 b/w GTS from the Mercedes dealer in St. Pete, I think it was Lokey Mercedes or something like that. They wanted 60k and it had 6,000 miles on it. I would have bought it but the...

    Servicing Front Brakes

    Thanks for the post. I tried to replace my "squeal at mid pressure" EBC greens myself but couldn't break the calipers apart. Good to know that you don't even have to do this to change the pads. Will give it another try this weekend and post if I have any problems.

    Shoe marks on side sills

    Anyone have a problem with scuff marks on the side sills (mine is a black car)? It seems that my passengers always drag their shoes on the hot side sills while getting out and leave a rubber mark. I can't find anything that takes it off aside from using my fingernail and really scraping. I've...

    BLACK PAINT SUCKS !

    I HAVE THE ANSWER FOR YOU!!!!!!! My last three cars were black, and every time I swear it's the last. I had a 1998 Saleen Mustang convertible that I was the original owner on from 12 miles. It was black and had swirl marks, rock chips and acid rain spots after 6 years. At about 30,000 miles...

    Interior trim quality

    The rest of my interior looks great, aside from the rusty pedals. The only problem is with the door molding like I described above. Yesterday the driver side molding just broke loose, split and popped up. I do wish that the seats were full leather. I think that sometimes the suede insert...

    Interior trim quality

    Has anyone had a problem with any interior trim pieces on their SRT, quality wise? Both of the trim pieces on the top of the doors split and pulled loose on my 2003. The pieces are about 1"x30". I went to a local Dodge dealer and all of the parts guys said that the entire door panel needs to...

    Paddle Shift

    OK, so I guess the general consensus is "NO" on the paddle shift. Sorry that I'm a fan of "technological advancements" without which we would all still be driving 400hp Vipers without windows, door handles and locks. Sometimes, change is good. As for SRT owners favorite colors, mine is black...

    Paddle Shift

    Any possibility of the next gen Viper getting a paddle shift? After seeing the new F430 transmission w/ a selectable fully automatic mode, the old stick shift looks extremely outdated and inefficient. Also, everyone knows that our fat tires like to find grooves in the road. It would be nice...

    Any pics of polished or CF roll hoops on a Silver SRT?

    I have them on my black 03 and love them. They look cool because you can also see them through the back window when the top is up, just adds a little something extra. The autoform roll bar is functional, but doesn't look as good, and.....I am not planning on rolling my car over any time soon...

    Gas Light

    Anyone know how far you can go when the gas light comes on (assume normal driving)? I know the tank is around 18.5 gallons, but when I fill up when the light comes on it only take 13.5. Is there really a 5 gallon reserve or am I wrong on the total capacity of the tank? I tried to pull a...

    For the love of god, why can't I get a test drive??...*MICHIGAN OWNERS*

    Re: For the love of god, why can\'t I get a test drive??...*MICHIGAN OWNERS* Not being able to test drive a car is [******]. And it is not a big deal to put 10 miles on a car as the dealer rides along with you. Even if I was buying a new Ferrari, I wouldn't buy it without a test drive. I got...

    SRT-10 Pedal Discoloration?

    Funny you should ask this question. I have an 03 SRT and I was vacuuming it out the other day and noticed that the brake and clutch pedals turned a rust color. I thought that I had stepped in clay, or even dog [******], but when I took a close look it was discoloration. It's not a big deal...

    Insurance Question...AGAIN!

    I bought a 2003 SRT in May and had to switch from Liberty Mutual (15 year customer) to State Farm because Liberty Mutual wouldn't insure the car. I have another car with them and have been ticket and accident free for 15 years (knock on wood). State Farm is the best paying insurance company (I...

    My new wheels are in and on the car....

    The HREs look amazing, especially with the amount of in-set on the rears! I would lower it an inch or so to make it look even better. Drilled rotors would also look awesome. Congrats!

    I raced a Carrera GT this morning

    You should have raced him to Mons Venus, then stopped in for a quick lap dance! I miss living in Tampa, I hit 167 on my Suzuki TL100R on the Gandy Bridge.

    Hello.....I'm a New Member

    Hello.....I\'m a New Member Hello All....After 10 years of wanting one, I finally got one!!! Right around my 30th birthday I sold my Saleen S281-SC speedster and came over to the dark side. I picked up a 2003 SRT, black w/ 3600 miles, chrome roll hoops, the factory navigation from Mopar and...
