    2 Viper Fatalities in MA

    Here is a perfect example. The stock shift gate leaves A LOT to be desired. It's possible to often miss a shift and end up down a gear instead of up a gear. And guess what happens when you let the clutch out? The rear end locks up and around you go.

    Won't pass calif. smog, now what???

    Search online about Montana LLC's and the people that set them up. Sell the car to the LLC, have the attorney register the car in Montana (for which you'll pay no sales tax) and get the plates. To get Montana plates the car never even has to be there or get inspected. Plates get mailed to...

    Red coupe around pole

    IMO time and again the problem can be missed shifts or not rev matching on a downshift and the rear end locks up for a second or two and then its all over. That's the only 'oh sh*t' moment I've had so far. In every case like this, the clutch is your best friend. As soon as anything locks up...

    2 Viper Fatalities in MA

    I've driven just about every high end car short of an Enzo, and I can honestly say that the Viper is one of the most dangerous vehicles being sold to the public. Massive speed and acceleration coupled with occasional unpredictable traction issues are a recipe for disaster. It is therefore...

    just a goofy thought about granny aids on Vipers...

    That one's simple - you won't need the wiring harness, since the car will be sitting in a museum just being looked at, when all the gas in the world has run out.

    Repost? Another 08 (SSG) bites the dust before leaving dealer.

    That is my gang, and unless you convert your car to bio-diesel we're coming back next week, and we'll write the word SANTA as well.

    My new 08 Black/Red Viper has arrived!!!!

    Color combo looks awesome. Due to the high contract between the colors though red/black you can really see the difference especially on a convertible of the difference in width of the front vs. back stripes. On the coupe there is a transition over the roofline but on the drop top it's...

    It's Here! 08 SSG with Black Stripes! Pics

    Up until I found my copperhead orange with black stripes, I wasn't all that enthused about getting a Viper is regular old red, etc. But had I not found my car, SSG with black stripes would have had the same effect and i'd be driving one of those. It's just one of a kind. There simply is no...

    How your snake got in your garage....

    Saw it online, never seen orange with black stripes ever anywhere, thought it looked cool. Called the company that leases me equipment for my business, said 'I need a vehicle for my company, it costs $80K' they said 'Give us the VIN and the vendor contact, we'll FedEx you the paperwork...

    PICS and VIDEO: SRT Viper Drift Racing at Long Beach Grand Prix

    It could be, there's like 6 different race events using the track beginning next week, so who knows exactly how they'll conduct each one. Strange that not all the details of all the races are at the website Welcome To 2008 Toyota Grand Prix Long Beach The core race is of course the 'indy...

    PICS and VIDEO: SRT Viper Drift Racing at Long Beach Grand Prix

    The wing I assume would be for higher speed on the back straights. Here is a link to the full map: http://gplb.com/downloads/08lbcircuit.pdf Also remember that this video is just the test day. On race days, on the back straight heading into turn 1, I would think speeds of 150-200mph...

    PICS and VIDEO: SRT Viper Drift Racing at Long Beach Grand Prix

    Here is an enhanced photo from a still camera, very interesting roof line and even rear deck on it eh? Where do I get that roof kit for my Viper? My plan is to sneak out late at night one of these nights, and give the track a go-round. I figure i might be able to get a couple laps in...

    Orange viper pictures?

    I have copperhead, and it's metallic, and in low light it looks almost a shade of candy apply red. Halloween edition is definitely an accurate description of this one though. Let's face it, Chrysler can put any color it wants on the Viper, and SSG is evidence of that. So why not candy...

    Orange viper pictures?

    I'm sorry, but this looks like the pace car for a roadside construction convoy.

    Dodge Viper is dead?

    I have a C6 Convertible in addition to the Viper. The Vette is my airport car, I leave it sitting there all the time, sometimes for more than a month. It's going bye-bye soon, it feels like a Honda Accord in comparison.

    what do you think a 06 can do in 2/14 mile

    Maybe if you had the Viper boggin in 6th, outside of that I couldn't see a Diablo pulling away from the Viper. The Viper, if in the right gear, should not get smoked by a Diablo at 130mph, based on my having driven both.

    New DC Camshaft

    When asked what it was made of exactly, Dan mumbled something about 'flubber'. Sounds like some kind of new invention for sure...

    Someone ready to write a check for this?

    The most important items that comes with the car, as is shown in the photos, is the Dodge Warranty and booklet. This certainly justifies the price, as when one of the rods shoots through the pan at 1,300HP, simply bring the car into your local Dodge dealer and say 'Yo! Fix this biatch!'...

    Our First Week with our First Viper

    It's going to smell like something's burning for about 3,000 miles. Also yes the exhaust comes in the car, quite often. If you or anyone ever figures out way(s) to minizmize the exhaust coming in the car, please post. Maybe it can't be completely eliminated, but any reduction would be nice.

    '06 w/ very poor performance ... HELP

    You should start documenting all of this with not only service record copies in a binder, but also photos and VIDEO of the problems, showing on such and such a date you receive the car back and then not only weren't some problems fixed but others were created. If you bought the car new...

    updates Chuck???????????????

    That's taking that analogy to another plane and a stretch. Historical landmarks are usually buildings or business preserved by cities. If Tator's was being threatened with demolition for a big mini-mall, that arguement would work, as would a ground swell of people support and letter writing...

    Best (or funniest) reaction when driving your snake?

    :slomo: BUMPITY BUMP. No one else has stories? This is one of the best parts of owning the beasty snake!

    updates Chuck???????????????

    That is one way to look at it, and a true statement from a purely technical standpoint. However even though that is one way to look at it, that is not the way Chrysler looks at it. I've never been a car dealer so I can't speak to the specifics of the contractual language in a dealer...
