What is the problem with Gen I and II Vipers??
Styling is always a subjective matter but you never heard anyone complain about the SRT-10 brakes or performances, the ONLY thing that ALWAYS come back is the styling. Why? if it's one of the SRT-10 strong point? Doesn't meam that some peoples don't find it beautiful. It's like comparing a...- luc

What is the problem with Gen I and II Vipers??
Dirk: Your logic is flawed, There is no doubt that the SRT-10 weak point is the styling, the weak point for the GenI and II is the braking system. I love my GTS but I'm realistic enough to accept the fact that braking is a weak point and that quality of the assembly left a lot to be desired (...- luc

2005 SRT-10 Differences; Get a master list going...
Daniel: Don't misunderstand me, i think that it's great that you're willing to spend time money and energy to bring new products to viper owners. My comment/point was more directed toward the non-mechanical savy Viper owners that will believe that if the 05 has a knock sensor, It must be a...- luc

2005 SRT-10 Differences; Get a master list going...
Daniel, Using a knock sensor as a tuning tool on a modified engine can certainly be beneficial but I believe that on a stock engine, the work and money involved to retrofit one, far outweight the (possible) benefit and could even have some performance drawback due to the hysteresis of the...- luc

Heater motor quit working
Usually no heat after changing coolant is the result of a big air buble in the system. I will not be surprised if you're a couple of 1/4 low. You can also check that the cable that control the heater valve ( passenger side, below the windshield wiper motor) has not been dislodged from the...- luc

so if the SRT-10 is a better car...
Badvenm: you're right on the money,I could have bought a SRT-10 through the certificate program (as a matter of fact i ordered one hoping that the style will grow on me, when "my" car came in, i just couldn't force myself to like it) so money was not the issue. I believe that DC has some of...- luc

Interesting thread. The SRT-10 is a great car but is missing what made the RT10 and GTS instant classics : STYLE. I you look through the past, iconic or classic cars ALWAYS have a rare combination of power and style. having only one of those 2 is not enough. Luc 00GTS- luc

Flushing coolant out of the block....
I replaced mine with some "regular" Allen sized plugs with Teflon tape for a leak free instalation. I was going to use some aluminum plugs (to save some weight!!), but i was told that it was a bad idea since the engine is also aluminum. Luc.00GTS- luc
