    too fat to fit

    I know what you are saying and my wife's sister-in-law has looked sickly ever since she did that a few years ago. On the other hand a woman who has worked for me for 15 years had the surgery a few months ago. She has now lost 100 pounds and her goal is to lose another 50 pounds which I don't...

    Gas Milleage

    It does including the Abarth. I average 22mpg on my ACR and my Fiat 500, that is if you factor in I get 12mpg on the ACR and 29mpg on the Fiat. By the way Jetstar: love your Viper. If I ever get one it will be black.

    Air conditioning

    I'm no expert by any means; but I wouldn't think it could damage anything just possibly being low on refrigerant.

    Air conditioning

    I see you also have an 08. I had to have mine charged each year when I had it serviced. It bugged the tech because he said there had to be a leak; but could never find it. This past service they found it and they replaced the condenser under warranty. One problem with our cars is they...

    Ralph Gilles, President and CEO of the SRT Brand and Senior Vice President of Design

    Many thanks to Ralph for everything he has done for the Viper since he took over SRT in 2011. I know there were a lot of senior managers prior to Ralph that supported Viper; however, he has pushed like no others in making sure the Viper didn't disappear permanently and is responsible for the...

    Have the discussions on the VCA site gone to hell?

    Hey, that's cool how you can "ignore" a user like kratedisease. Not that new users can't have something useful to say; but, he just joined two months ago and now, well... Back to the original topic: I love the forum, pay each year because you don't run these sites for nothing. I have...

    Zaino users?

    I used to use Zaino; but, switched to Adams products and now I wouldn't use anything else. I only detail my cars once a year. I detailed the Viper last week and even though the car stays garaged it was amazing when I put the Revive Polish on it. Cover that with one or two coats of buttery...

    Rear bumper decal placement

    Yeah, unfortunately only Viper owners would know what it really means.

    Gen V Test Drive - Just Curious

    Mods - please close this thread. Here we go again with personal attacks and this just started out with a question about whether dealers allow test drives and if not, why don't they.

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    Not sure. The part # on the paperwork is 4865610AF, so I would assume it is the older version.

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    Just returned from the dealer. I had my ACR in for some warranty work including replacing the window regulator. Works like new now.

    Have the discussions on the VCA site gone to hell?

    I have been on the forum for five years and enjoy it to find answers about my Viper. In that short time I notice what you are talking about. Someone posts a question because they couldn't find it using the search function or it is something new. Some of the posts then turn into attacks on...

    Gen 5 Color Combinations

    Yes, my next one will also probably be black. Thanks for posting.

    My experience is about 15 miles. Have only had the light come on a couple of times in 4 1/2 years, did the other day when I was within site of my favorite station.

    2010 Viper ACR damage

    I could believe closer to $10,000 than I would $2,500.

    strange electrical and starting issues in my 06 Viper

    My 08 did some of the same things. Put in a new battery and that fixed everything.

    Washing a viper?

    I have always opened the hood and placed a towel over each valve cover just to keep a massive amount of water from being sprayed on the engine. As someone else said I don't spray water directly into the air scoop.

    The Air Force Master Blaster vs. the Electric Leaf Blower

    I received my Master Blaster on July 2nd. I used it the first time yesterday on my Abarth and it works great. If the end comes off the hose you have to screw it back on counter clockwise.

    250 miles in on my Viper - a few things I don't like...

    Rereading the original post I'm still wondering what the ethnic slur was? Seems as though everyone forgot about and that probably would tell us more than all the five pages of posts do.

    Gen V Test Drive - Just Curious

    If I owned a dealership there is no way I would let anyone test drive a Viper. All you have to do is read this forum and see the # of times drivers, even experienced Viper drivers have lost a Viper especially in the lower gears. I owned five Corvettes before buying my ACR. I had never ridden...
