First Viper I ever owned.. questions...

[wbexxon]

I have never owned a Viper before and dont know anyone who has so cant ask anyone else. Are all Vipers kinda noisey inside? I mean a little tranny noise, rearend whine,and when pulling out slow a clunking noise in the rear when the car jerks a little it doesnt clunk when I take off with a little more throttle. The car works great and only has 180 miles, just trying to be sure nothing is wrong. I trust your opinions more than the dealers , half of them never drove or worked on a Viper you guys do all the time. Thanks .........Brian

Yes, Vipers are noisey.

Even the clunking rearend? I hope so , maybe I am being too gentle on take offs sometimes.

Yes...these are the normal signs of the ultimate Viper!! Have Fun.

Yes, my rear end has clunked since day one. At first I worried that something would break, but it hasn't.

Are you talking about when shifting and it "clunks" in the rear end? If so, mine does the same thing no matter how perfect you shift.

 

[Jeff Torrey]

Try to make it less clunky (you are driving it to gently). It will come to life when you take control.

Yes, Vipers are noisey.

...and don't shift all that smooth either.

Congratulations on your new ride! Just blast the music and your problems and concerns will go away

Get an aftermarket exhaust, you won't hear the random noises as much.

Noisey is relative.

My '04 is silent compared to my '69 Corvette with factory side pipes.

Sounds normal. Your are sitting fairly close to everything, engine, trans, driveshaft and diff.

Noise is really relative. My SRT is very quiet compared to my 650 GTS / ACR. They both scream with the hammer down.

Enjoy!

my trany made some noise but the rear end never clunked. I changed all the fluids over to royal purple lubricants and nothing makes noise anymore. There was an earlier post last week on this subject.
