    Went back to the dyno - MOPAR PCM vs OEM

    NOT TRUE! Please read several other reviews, where throttle-lag is virtually gone, throttle responsiveness both on and off throttle are much improved. The "crisp, snappier feel" is exactly that. A more 'precise' throttle feel and tachometer response.

    Went back to the dyno - MOPAR PCM vs OEM

    Exactly, Red... The PCM has several clear 'throttle' and other advantages for modified Vipers and for track-rats, and the 10-15HP / TQ is just a bonus. You GOTTA like a company and the guys that make that item available for "Off Road Use." I was sorry to see the Gen 2 Mopar PCM go...

    Next gen Viper discussed in AutoWeek...scary!!

    CAAP is one answer............. Dodge EV concept from a while back is the other answer.... I think a Tarp-money seeking Cerberus guy drove it to DC a while back?

    Battery death

    Since the poster is from the UK, where the electricl current probably differes from my US-Centered knowledge, there may be a similiar device in UK................... "Battery Tender" is often used as a synonym for ANY low-voltage trickle-charger device that charges a battery.... Not All...

    Sticking ebrake caliper on an '03??!!!

    COMMON PROBLEM. One hint: you can just swap the E-pads, inner-to-outer, outer-to-inner, but do it BEFORE they are too far gone. And track rats can extend a full set of E-pads into TWO inner pad changes. = 50% of cost. But waiting til the (hidden) inside e-pad is metal-to-metal can be...

    LUKE... any word on PSS -335-30-18 being made?

    Ernie, ...... mis-matched tires on a Viper CAN be hazardous if you have to 'go evasive' in an emergent situation. The fronts now grip, brake, and turn MUCH differently than your Rears do....And some mis-matches can be much worse than others.........Please Be Careful !

    Gen 2 RT/10 unstable at high speed. why?

    I have NOT read the whole thread, but I assure you the SUBJECT LINE of your thread is misleading. 1) There is something WRONG with the car: Mechanical, tires, or alignment issues. Or all 3. Salvage Title? 2) There is something wrong with the observer.....not likely with your...

    Pics of '02 "Hardcore" ACR

    Bill, not to pick-nits, but I am pretty sure that the STANDARD 99-02 ACR was without the "Comfort Group". The Gen 2 ACRs were "down and dirty." If you wanted AC and Radio, the dealer had to ADD that option. More than a few unskilled dealers FORGOT to order the "ACR Comfort Group" and...

    Blast from the Past ! Membership Cost & GTS Order Form

    THANKS MUCH for sharing that! I even printed the GTS Coupon, and suggest any nit-picky 96 GTS owners do the same. "Got Docs?" was a great VM article by Maurice a while back, and that doc is part of 96 GTS Hisstory. That "coupon program" was both loved by we Gen 1 NEW car owners, but hated by...

    MOPAR PCM installed on 2009 Coupe - Review and Question

    PAY ATTENTION to the rear-hatch on G-4-Coupe 'unlatching' itself, rattling or popping noises. There is a brand-new TSB on this very issue on Gen 4 COUPES. Posted elsewhere just last week. SEARCH? [I cannot edit my posts, so cannot add a link.]

    My new 2010 ACR Viper..right off the showroom floor.

    WHAT THE HELLo is WRONG WITH ME? Yesterday, a new guy posts a Red GTS photo.... today, a G4 ACR photo. I had to look at both, even with sloooow internet. There have been many others, almost every week. I have owned 15+ Vipers since 1993, and I STILL GOTTA LOOK! IF I had all the...

    MOPAR PCM installed on 2009 Coupe - Review and Question

    Single-Chime alerts are USUALLY accompanied by an amber cluster display for low tire, seatbelt, airbag sensor (stuff in Right seat?) etc. Just for the heck of it, check all your tire pressures?

    A Dream come true finally - 2001 GTS

    Congrats on attaining a boyhood dream, a rare thing these days. You definitely sound like a "WORTHY" Owner.1) Yellow Vipers attract Waaaaaay more bugs than other colors. FACT. Bugs think you are a sunflower-dandeline smorgasbord.2) Your "Two-handed-Driver" comment is telling in that you...

    "Calling Gen 4 ACR Owners" for a prevention precaution tip. SRT Engineers?

    Ken: If your winged deck is falling/sinking, adding the HD struts will stop that; but they also might overpower the OE adhesive! Not Broke, Dont Fix.... Again, the TSB investigation revealed rare incidente of 2008-2010 Coupes, regardless of ACR, Aero, or not. We are taking dozens of...

    from TT Stealth to 99 Viper

    Rapid: I agree with you! But a rut-following, twitchy Viper is a result of ALIGBNMENT and TIRE CHOICE. Every Viper I have owned quickly becomes a 3-finger-driver after a performance alignment; And I ditch old, hard tires before they ditch me. {Glad I could keep my S-TT for winters}...
