    Best comment you overheard someone say about your car...

    hahahahahahahahahahah thats awesome! Was the phone # on the passenger side? This happened a couple weeks ago. Not so much of a cool comment, but a funny story: I decided to take the Viper beach side just to drive it a little. As I'm passing the boardwalk, a group of people come out and...

    Car surges at WOT & TPS only registers 75.7% at WOT. Why/help/thanks

    I left the cable hooked up, but manually open the butterflies as far as they would go. That's the 75% reading. If I take the TPS off the car but leave it hooked up and turn it with a flathead screwdriver, the scanner reads 99.x%. If the 75% reading is correct, I'm back at square one on why...

    Car surges at WOT & TPS only registers 75.7% at WOT. Why/help/thanks

    My scanner only shows %, no voltage. Sorry I wasn't clear, my DD isn't a Viper. I just wanted to see if the scanner would read my DD TPS at a much higher %+, to be sure it wasn't just my scanner showing bad info. I'll work on getting a voltage reading. I have the 96' RT/10 manual, so I'll...

    Car surges at WOT & TPS only registers 75.7% at WOT. Why/help/thanks

    Definitely the right TPS. It's reading the same %, my old one did and looks the same. So, its not a TPS issue, it's a car issue somewhere. Not sure what you mean if I matched it up to my DD.

    Car surges at WOT & TPS only registers 75.7% at WOT. Why/help/thanks

    They looked completely horizontal, maybe a small angle, but not much. The part attached to the cable is all the way against the t-body bracket preventing it from opening any further when the butterfly's are all the way open. Idle % was around 15%, IIRC. When I had it off the car, but still...

    Car surges at WOT & TPS only registers 75.7% at WOT. Why/help/thanks

    I thought about those possibilities, but if I leave the TPS installed on the car and reach inside the t-body and manually open the butterfly all the way, it still only shows 75%. Its like it should be a lot more adjustment, but the highest I can get it was around 80% and in that position, the...

    Car surges at WOT & TPS only registers 75.7% at WOT. Why/help/thanks

    For a while, my 96' RT/10 has had an issue at WOT. It drives fine at non-WOT, but as soon as you put the pedal in the floor, it starts surging. I've recently got serious about solving it (not many places in FL to go WOT, so this wasn't a top priority). One thing I've found is my TPS only...

    Do you get asked "How much did you pay?"

    Guy at the beach 1 day: this thing had to cost over $250k Me: LOL, no not even close. Him: Was it over $20k? I'm still wondering what made him drop the value of my car $230k in 10 secs lol I usually quote sticker, tell them "I've had it 8 yrs, I don't remember", or tell them "I paid enough...

    Battery recommendation - Optima Interstate vs. Diehard Platinum

    From what I read on here in the past, they sold out years ago. That's when the quality went from "A" to "F"

    Battery recommendation - Optima Interstate vs. Diehard Platinum

    If a Viper tech recommended an Optima battery to me, I'd find a new Viper tech. All 3 or 4 I had were garbage. All replaced under warranty. I'd trust a 9V battery out of smoke detector more than an Optima.

    Some times it's the little things that count lol.

    If I'm off, I'd prob make the drive over. Someone keep me in the loop, thanks.

    Just installed radio need unlock code HELP

    On the Mitsubishi radios, all you have to do is call a dealership with the serial # and we can look it up on the Mitsu dealer site. Not sure if Dodge is the same, but I'd assume it was. Also, it's ok to say "ebay". It's just a no-no to post Ebay links to items not listed in the VCA classifieds.

    Gen 2 Cup Holder

    Wal-Mart/Amazon cup holder. Under $5 and no drilling required. I've had one for years. Only used it a few times, but no problems with spills or anything tipping out of it. It wedges between the console and passenger seat

    Easy way to replace clutch pedal bushing.

    That is a permanent fix, but since it's more involved, I'll just use up my spare clips 1st and then tackle the drilling idea.

    Best comment you overheard someone say about your car...

    I had my car parked at the boardwalk a couple weeks ago and while I was walking towards it, a guy and 2 girls are walking past it headed my direction. He does a double take at the car and turns to the girls and says "Will 1 of you have sex with me in that car?" Not wanting to sound like a...

    Easy way to replace clutch pedal bushing.

    My mistake. What has broken twice on my car is the plastic basket clip. Those can be replaced in under 5 mins. The bushing you're talking about is a PITA. Mine did wear down and split in 2, but I had a friend/Viper owner replace it vs. doing it myself. On a unrelated note/tip, those...

    Easy way to replace clutch pedal bushing.

    I've had mine break a couple times. Changed it from under the dash in under 5 mins each time with no drilling.Maybe Gen 1's are easier, but noway is a drill needed.

    battery

    I did. It was replaced 3 or 4 times under warranty. Absolutely the worst battery ever made. Optima's aren't even good paperweights anymore. Do a search and you'll see plenty of negative Optima threads.

    Viper pace car

    The only way he's ever won a race. They put him in the front and told everyone they'd be penalized if they passed him :D Nice to see a Viper as the pace car! A little marketing never hurt anyone!

    I might start a war here but I'm gonna ask anyways...

    I've had a RT since 05' and lived in GA and FL (both top off weather almost year round). I also have plenty of driver seat time in a GTS. I prefer the RT/10. I'd like to add a GTS, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet because I'm not sure I'd enjoy it as much as my RT. The GTS seems a little...
