    Keeping the juice flowing

    Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions guys - given the recent 10 inches of snow, the RT looks like she'll be underground for a while. Perhaps disconnecting the battery and plugging that to a tender in my place is the move. As I understand it, the battery is located behind the driver's side...

    Keeping the juice flowing

    Thanks for the responses - much appreciated. I can definitely find time to start it up every two weeks without a doubt but I didn't think that merely turning the car on and letting it idle would charge the battery. I thought the movement of the wheels was involved in keeping the battery charged...

    Keeping the juice flowing

    Hi all, I have a gen 2 RT/10 that's getting ready for winter storage and I wanted to appeal to the experts on the forum over a common issue with the Gen II. I love the car but I know if I don't keep it plugged in, the battery is going to die (given it won't be driven much over the winter)...

    What an unbelievable collection...

    Hey All, Given my rather overt love for these cars, I had a buddy of mine stumble upon this and immediately bring it to my attention...enjoy! www.hypebeast.com/2013/9/a-couple-with-65-dodge-and-srt-vipers

    Console...

    Thanks for the advice, the wisdom is always appreciated. I will definitely be buying one of Jon B's console support wedges and hopefully I have the same experience as Mach4444. If anyone has an extra cognac console lying around (I know that sounds bizarre), I am still interested in acquiring an...

    Console...

    Thank you for the responses guys – I think it is in a position where it could be repaired so I will peruse the forum postings (thanks mitchdob). If anyone has anyone for sale I wouldn't mind having an extra in case something like this happens again and the damage is far more significant.

    Console...

    Hey all, Just picked up an '00 RT/10 (Steel Grey with cognac) and I had my 70-year old father out for a spin at his request. Well upon getting out of the car, he leaned on the console, and you can imagine what happened. I am always super careful about not leaning on the center console...

    Does this exhaust look stock?

    Thank you for all of the suggestions guys, it is very much appreciated. You are absolutely right that without seeing the car in person, it is very difficult to determine whether the car is overpriced or not. Obviously the dealer is telling me that the car is pristine and there isn't a single...

    Does this exhaust look stock?

    Damned autocorrect...corset...Corsa! LuisV - I really appreciate your input and help - I just wanted to be sure about the exhaust before going further with the negotiation process. Lifeisgood - you vocalized my exact concern. This dealer doesn't seem to know his ass from a hole in the ground...

    Does this exhaust look stock?

    Thanks so much for your insights, I really appreciate the help here. The exhaust didn't look stock to me either but I wanted just to make sure with you guys. If it really is a Corsa, that is a modification that I am very happy about. Luisv, thanks so much for confirming the spots on the tips to...

    Does this exhaust look stock?

    Hey guys, I'm in talks regarding a 2002 GTS and I wanted to confirm some of the supposed claims by the dealer. The dealer has claimed that the car is stock and the previous owner merely replaced the exhaust tips; however, I am not 100% sure whether they are correct. I was sent these photos...

    Spotted Exhaust Tips + radar

    Beauty - thanks for the responses - it's very much appreciated. Denniskgb and LuisV - I think you guys probably right and it's nothing but I just wanted to be sure. We have emissions testing here in Ontario and my old GTS without cats had those same black spots (and it barely passed...

    Spotted Exhaust Tips + radar

    Hey guys, I'm looking at a 2002 GTS for sale by a Dodge Dealer (16,000 miles) and I'm in the process of inquiring about the car. I asked the salesman to send me some pictures of the car (under the hood, exhaust, sills, interior, etc.) and I noticed that it has what appears to be a Corsa...

    Stock Air Intake Box

    Hey all, I recently sold my '97 GTS and the new owner is looking for a stock air intake box. It currently has a aftermarket air intake box but the installation job was not to his standard, so he is looking to get his hands on a stock box. I know a lot of guys put in aftermarket air intake...

    Help with Potential Viper Purchase

    Hey guys, thanks again for offering your insights guys. These clowns still aren't budging and as your said, don't seem to know much about Vipers. Beyond tires and the exhaust (not that I don't like it but I feel I can use it as an issue of negotiation), is there anything else you guys can think...

    Help with Potential Viper Purchase

    You guys are great - always a wealth of useful information. To answer your question LifeIsGood, the car is an 2002 Viper and exactly as you showed, it doesn't look anything like a Corsa setup. I remember looking at 2001 RT with a Corsa before buying my GTS and the whole set up looked...

    Help with Potential Viper Purchase

    Hey all, A few weeks ago I put up a post about making the switch from a GTS to an RT/10 and I think I'm going to do it. Though they are rare, I have found my dream car, a graphite RT with the Cognac interior. According to the registry, it's 1 of 23 made, so I'm keen on making the trade if it's...

    I might start a war here but I'm gonna ask anyways...

    One again, thanks so much for sharing your wisdom, it's very much appreciated. In terms of the music, I get where you guys are coming from, but as someone who plays guitar, it's kind of hard to disregard a genre of music characterized by its guitar-centric sound, more specifically the...

    I might start a war here but I'm gonna ask anyways...

    Thanks so much for chiming in guys, I really appreciate it. A lot of good points being thrown around - to provide some more info, I live in southeast Canada (Southern Ontario), I never drive the Viper in inclement weather, and it is not my daily driver. Also, though the gen III/IV is a beauty...

    I might start a war here but I'm gonna ask anyways...

    Hey guys, I'm currently in a Viper-based dilemma and I need some expert advice (hence the post on this forum). I currently own a '97 BW GTS. The car has about 21,000 miles on it, Belanger headers, Borla exhaust, and smooth tubes. I am currently debating trading for/selling then buying an RT...

    crackle sound from the speakers only at idle

    Hey all, First I just want to say that I'm completely aware that I'm resurrecting an old, old thread - hell, George W, was still in office when this bad boy was posted. I am rescusitating this thread for a reason however and that is I am experiencing a very similar problem as the OP. It seems...

    $4,000 in work? Really?

    Hey guys, I wanted to thank everyone for chiming in and sharing their insights - it's reassuring to have a group of experienced owners and vendors like yourselves offering your assistance and sharing your experiences. I wanted to let you know that my friend and I elected to walk away from the...

    $4,000 in work? Really?

    First, I want to thank everyone for their input and assistance - I'm always amazed at the good will evident on this board. As per your instructions, I called the man, Chuck Tator, and he indicated to me that the diagnosis seemed a tad confusing given the lack of oil accumulation (apparently...

    $4,000 in work? Really?

    Thanks for all of the helpful responses. To answer some of the questions above, Fatboy_18, my friend will very likely be paying someone todo the work for him and in terms of his preference between brand new or good second hand parts, and lastly, he is located in Ontario Canada (while the car is...
