    "Dead '08 Snake in the Middle of the Road..."

    Ah...it WOULD mean I had a spot about a yard by a yard outside the passenger exhaust port consisting of a gas puddle and gas on my passenger side tire. You can call it an electric problem if you like (and who knows, you may be right),but the car smelled like gas, had the aforesaid gas puddle...

    Whas the best NAVI FOR GEN 3/4 NOT RB1 !!

    I believe that the RB1 is 1.5 Din, NOT 2.0 Din. This is one reason why I am swapping out the non-nav OEM head unit in my '08 for RB1 vs. aftermarket. I am also adding an iPod adapter and different door speakers (the Polks everyone added). I did not want cut the carbon fiber console I...

    "Dead '08 Snake in the Middle of the Road..."

    I was thinking it would make the most sense to write the comparison once I have at least 100 mi. after break in on the Viper (it has 265 mi. now). That way I can open it up and compare the cars better. There are truly MANY differences. So, let me get my Molotov cocktail Viper back and put a...

    Garage Door Remote Solutions?

    Our Vipers are old-school, bad a@@ machines with few cockpit gizmos and we all appreciate this. So one gizmo we do not have is a programmable garage door remote in the Visor or elsewhere. Has anyone found a small aftermarket remote that can "learn" the clunky garage door remote signal? I...

    08 Viper vs Vette comparison

    Interesting Video. Not even close to a "smackdown" as some have suggested. More like the "'08 barely preserving its honor using a Dodge ringer driver who knew nothing about the Z06." Put a Chevy hot shoe driver in the Z06 and we have a dead heat or an even closer finish. I just sold a C6...

    "Dead '08 Snake in the Middle of the Road..."

    I HATE those drivers! I have called the cops on them before and of course had discussionswith such drivers. Just terrible. But yes, that would/could have been a disaster. I came from a lightly-modded C6 Z06 and so far I love the new Snake, even if it did die on me! Just hope this is a...

    Heel Toe Shifting a 2008 Viper

    Try a Google search for heel/toe shifting. There was a great video of a rally car driver--I think Sebastian Loeb--heel-toeing like crazy. There are different styles and of course different configurations of pedals between cars, and between race cars and street cars.

    Heel Toe Shifting a 2008 Viper

    +1 The way I was taught and the way I have always seen it on videos. As your driving improves you WILL need to heel/toe. The pedals in the '08 Viper are great for this. The key (besides practicing the correct technique) is to get your seating position appropriate so you are in a good...

    Track Question ?

    Are you very, very, very height challenged?? Independent of what the track rules are, you should be concerned about your safety. Specifically, whether or not your head will be snapped off from your neck in a rollover! For this, go with the "broomstick rule." While you are seated in your...

    "Dead '08 Snake in the Middle of the Road..."

    That's right: my 265 mi. '08 died (or passed out) in the middle lane of an intersection yesterday, spewing gas out of the passenger side exhaust! Fortunately I was able to get a flat bed ride back to the delivering dealer ASAP. So much for finishing break in this weekend! :( The Viper...

    No iPod Hook Up for 2008 Viper Non-Nav Stereo

    Thanks for the link! I sent them an email. However, the designation on the front of the 2008 non-nav OEM Viper radio is "RAH" which differs from the descriptions on the websit you mentioned. Hopefully they will come up with a solution. Otherwise it is all coming out!

    No iPod Hook Up for 2008 Viper Non-Nav Stereo

    Just checked with my iPod specialists on the ability to attach an iPod adapter box to the factory 2008 Viper, non-Nav radio and he said: 1. He checked with the makers of the iPod adaptors for an adaptor for the 2008 Viper OEM radio (Rah). 2. This radio uses an old, outmoded protocol. 3...

    Sill Protectors for 2008 Coupe?

    Any great ideas for protecting the door sills on a 2008 GTS Blue? I have Venture Shield on it already but was thinking maybe brushed aluminum, etc. Thanks for your ideas! [I did search first on this forum but didn't find anything recent]

    Six Point Harness verse Five Point

    The instructions with the harnesses say that our Vipers come with threaded mounting points below the carpet where needed and of course there are mounting points behind the seats. Whether or not this can be used for 5 OR 6-points I do not know. I had 6-points in my C6 Z06 and liked them and Jon...

    Six Point Harness verse Five Point

    Well, I received my viper yesterday and also received 2 sets of Team Tech 6-points from Jon B. at Parts Rack that will be installed this week. I believe the 5th or 5th and 6th points are to prevent "submarining" in heavy frontal impact or heavy braking situation where you would slide under...

    What is the invoice cost of a base '08 coupe?

    I would make sure your dealer makes at least a few $$$ on the deal. Any yes, I do understand that Dealers benefit from sales other ways (flooring allowances, special incentives, allocations, etc.), but on a limited edition car like this with only $7k profit, I would make sure the Dealer was...

    Floormats on New 2008 Viper

    Thanks guys! I found the Speedonline site as well but their site is not functioning properly so I will order on Monday. Today the window tint went on and on Monday the Venture Shield will be added in all key spots. Interestingly, the tint installer was not successful in installing the...

    radar detector mirror mount

    I just added the invisicord and the Country Joy mount for my Valentine 1 in my new 2008 Viper. Great mount and thanks so much for the tips! One question: My V1 unit does not seem to be very tight in the V1 slide mount (some play). It is a brand new unit and not defective. This is the...

    Floormats on New 2008 Viper

    Just picked up my '08 SRT-10 Coupe last night--looks amazing and the GTS blue/Silver Strips paint is awesome--and noticed that there are no floormats. 1. Is this normal? 2. What to you recommend for mats? I saw the "plus mats" at partsrack but I am not sure that is what I want. Thanks...
