    Owners of Stryker Red

    Considering there really aren't any Stryker Red units f/s; I'd say most are happy with their choice :)

    Gen V Seat Wear?

    1500mi. Laguna (Sepia). I wear jeans and they look as-new. As to the seat base/center area being "stretched out"; every one I've seen is a little loose in the bottom area. (no loose bottom jokes. Seriously). Mine have at least stayed the same since new.

    Vent whistle?

    Car has done this since new. This video clip is taken in the garage, engine off. KOEO; fan speed 4/5/6 going up/down to accentuate the noise. Only does it on outside air/vent. Recirculate causes the noise to cease (or close to it). Cracking the window also allows the whistling to...

    6'3" and wondering about comfort

    If you get a '13; pull the spacers off the seat rails. Helps a lot. I believe '14's had a running change and don't have them. The Viper is not a Vette, as you know. It seems a lot of G2/3/4 guys don't think the 5 is as "comfortable". Having sat in each of the previous gen cars, for me, the...

    Anybody Have The Scoop On.The 2015/2016 Viper??????

    Believe it. I walked in with a checkbook and a letter of credit/account balance letter stating I had funds. I went to 3 dealers. One of which was a USED 299mi base SRT trim. I thought SURELY they'd let me drive the used one. NOPE. said they wanted to keep it under 300mi. Whatever. I...

    Survey - '02 RT/10 or '13 SRT?

    I still don't get why everyone wants to cut the roof off. Race cars are fixed roof structures for stiffness. Period. (and safer).

    Should I wait for the 2015 refresh

    There aren't very many Billet Silvers on the market. PLENTY of Red and Black. I swear 90% of them are Red or Black. I just bought mine a few weeks ago (Shadow blue) and if I had to do it again, I think a White TA would have been my second choice. Or a White GTS with the Red interior/Aero...

    To those who predict skies falling on Viper on account of upcoming Z06

    Indeed. I like how nobody seemed to bat an eye at paying ~ $130k for a mass produced, plastic fantastic, outgoing chassis for the ZR1; yet publicly take issue with paying $100+/- for an SRT or TA spec Viper that is a very limited production (in relative terms), hand built, proper supercar...

    To those who predict skies falling on Viper on account of upcoming Z06

    Forums are weird. A LOT of the negative feedback for the GV seems to be coming from NON-owners. Like ANY car, of course it has a few things that could be improved/different. But overall it is amazing that it was produced and provides a wonderful driving experience. Unlike the Vette, the...

    Who has put headers on their car?

    Most properly tuned cars shouldn't smell. Maybe a whiff here n there but not all the time. Can't wait for the new PCM for gV.

    Who has put headers on their car?

    I know coming from high hp 4v ford applications, running rich under boost, converters generally don't live long when getting abused.

    Who has put headers on their car?

    I just meant that maggie p/n to be used for sound tuning. Mounted in the normal location where a converter would go.

    Opti coat just applied

    I've had opticoat 2.0 on my truck for 3 years. It's the consumer 2.0 spec. It still performs and looks great. Easily the best coating I've ever seen. The paint MUST be perfectly polished prior to application as mentioned.

    Drivers side air vent/high pitched whistle?

    Thanks. The actual wind noise is minor The steady high pitch whistle from the vent is annoying.

    Dealers with 2014 GTS

    Tons of places. Start searching on cargurus.com and start doing zip code searches in overlapping pattern. Just keep working your way out further. It'll show dealers with inventory and then it'll link directly to the dealers page. Takes a little while but works well.

    Drivers side air vent/high pitched whistle?

    Very first thing I noticed in my car was a mix of wind noise and this high pitched whistle from the leftmost discharge. It seems to be in the vent/ductwork on the one to the left of the steering wheel. It doesn't really whistle much when stationary, but once roadspeed is 30+mph it really is...

    Who has put headers on their car?

    Why not drop the cats and use these as resonators mounted in same location as the cats to keep the sound in check. Still using primary mufflers of choice. Magnaflow 14159

    3m or XPEL Clear Bra ?

    Oh well. Xpel Ultimate *is* a nice film though. It's not something that is a total dealbreaker for me. In a few years I'm sure there will be something "better". I went with Xpel because I knew the installer was excellent and it would look correct once on the car. And it does :) To be...

    Excellent Dealership experience in MA

    Weird. Maybe voltage spike from being charged. Or maybe low voltage at some point causes an issue. Certainly something to it if multiple units have failed after sitting for extended periods. Sounds like further reasoning to drive it on a regular basis :)

    Good luck w/ the dealer up here; I heard Montgomery wasn't SRT certified and didn't get an allocation; etc. Which is a shame, because they used to be an excellent place.

    Excellent Dealership experience in MA

    IDK but the AMP died. When we disconnected the unit from the harness, it had the "Burnt electronic" smell inside one of the connectors. First thing we found was the fuse underhood for said circuit was blown and when the tech went to insert a new fuse, it popped immediately. Thus, we went to...

    I'm only an hour north of you. Do you know anything about the Talladega GranPrix circuit events? Or lmk if you'd want to meet up for one. I have a friend big into autoX and that stuff if interested.

    I'll be the first to admit I'm fat; lol. But I can still see it! After driving the car about 16 hours total; 11hours straight, my only real complaint is the pedal assembly being moved so far outboard to the left. I understand "why"; I just don't like it long term. I may even remove the dead...
