    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    I am a mere mortal myself. I got bit myself within 1000 miles of my Viper ownership also. The skip shift activated when I was driving slow around a corner. I slammed it into what I thought was 4th but was actually 2nd and took out a mailbox and got some curb rash. I planned on deactivating the...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    First I am glad Ferrari to Viper is OK. His accident is a perfect example how dependent we are becoming on tech nannies. Hitting the gas pedal in his Ferrari in 2nd will activate the TC and lighten up the gas. Fair warning to him that the TC will fail sooner or later from a fuse or other tech...

    Why no electronic stability control, etc?

    What do you pro nannie-tech people have to say about this situation as I have noticed no response. :dunno: A blown fuse caused the tech to fail. Granted the driver was hitting the gas but the failure of the TC caused the spinout. Fuses go without warning and during a drive so a pre-trip...

    Gen I Owners...Come on in Please!

    My first time driving a Viper was a yellow 95 in Vegas as a rental. I had an absolute blast.:drive: There are significant improvements to the Gen II which are worth paying up for. I recommend getting the Viper Buyer's Guide by Maurice Liang which is very specific on information. Also have...

    Why no electronic stability control, etc?

    Nobody ever said the 06 and newer Z06 was slow. It is a beast of a ride. It would be my second choice to a Gen IV as my next ride. I am just old enough to appreciate and prefer tech-free cars both for driving and working on. I am glad both exist along with the rest because back in the 80's this...

    What features/options should next Gen Viper have?

    AC and radio should have been seperate options. I only turn on the AC occasionally to keep it working once in a while. I drive topless whenever possible. AC adds weight and is a parasitic drain on the engine and I can go without it up here but it should be an option for those in the sun belt.

    1st Car Shows Enjoyable and Disappointing

    I went to see a car show and was convinced to enter it by a show worker who waived me in persistently. I got parked next to an overly pimped out C5.:crazy2: I spent my time looking at the rest of cars and left before judging. That is the first and last car show I will enter. It is nice to have a...

    Why no electronic stability control, etc?

    Nanny tech is overrated, expensive, and complex to fix when it fails and it all eventually does fail. The more nanny tech on a car, the more the need to buy an extended warranty that may or may not cover repairs and to ditch the car before it expires.

    Considering purchase -- thoughts on this car?

    Ask if all the original wheels and parts come with the car. If al checks out it seems like a fair deal.

    i must call false (rt soft top in 2 mins?)

    I just leave the top assembled and leave it in the garage. If I leave for more than a few hours, I put it on unless the weather is exceptional.

    If cash wasn't the problem, would you give up your GTS/RT for a SRT-10?

    With the exception of the classic/collector versions, Corvettes, Porsches, Ferraris, etc ,all are made obsolete and dated looking by the introduction of the next generation. Most people never hesitate to want to trade in for the new gen even after a few years of owning the previous gen. What...

    You might as well pour salt in the open wounds

    I leared a new word. "abrogate" meaning to annul or revoke. I have never heard a more eloquent way to describe how the parent companies screwed and betrayed the dealerships that took all the risk to sell cars for the parent company all along. I respectfully have a question for you Chuck. In...

    What he said +1. How much fun you have with your Viper in many ways depends on where you live. Congrats and welcome.

    Does any car look good next to a GTS?

    That is not fair parking a Viper next to a Ford GT in that color combo. :nono: I have seen that color in person and wonder what Ford was thinking. There is also a dark blue/ white stripe and a red/ white stripe Ford GT in my area and they look amazing.

    n00b at large, with Viper dreams

    If you are located near a few of the site sponsors that do mods I would call them and ask what they could do on which year Viper for how much before you buy a Viper. Ask the experts before committing money will get you the best overall deal and as a bonus, most are awesome to deal with and...

    Selling my 1998 GTS

    After looking at the ad, the Viper looks like a steal at that price. People spend more than that on cars today and don't get close to the performance or potential to mod. If I was looking for my 1st Viper again, I would buy it.

    Abolish the NHTSA

    I can see it now. I am driving a car and the auto brake system fails because of a glitch or corrosion in the wiring and I stop in the middle of a 3 lane highway. The car won't move and I wait to be rear ended at 70mph from behind. What we need are smart drivers, not smart cars. I would...

    Any fire sale priced Vipers out there at closing dealers?

    For those dealers that are well capitalized, they will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy at auction all the cars that were liquidated buy the dealers being closed at pennies on the dollar. They may pass some of the discount to the buyers but only for a very short window of...
