    viper cut off while driving tonight.

    It could be any of alternator, battery or fuel or even a bad sensor. Check the voltage on your battery with the engine off. It should be 12.5V or better. If you don't know how to use a voltmeter, try this little Equus Voltmeter that plugs into the cigarette lighter. If find it very convenient...

    Keeping Away Car Show Rugrats!

    That explains my subconscious actions of never cleaning the car and entering it into a show. :lmao:

    topless and wet in so. fla.

    Tough luck. What's your VIN! :lmao: Perhaps if you keep it in the sun long enough, it will dry up asap. :2tu: There are 4 plugs on the floor (viewed from below the car) of my GTS that seem to be drain ports. Check the underside of your floor. Next time, instead of slowing down you should...

    Ok what’s the deal with parts?

    If you have been reading the news, Chrysler is having a huge parts problem on it's production line. They have shutdown some factories temporarily and/or reduced shifts until the issue is resolved. Your part is NOT on their priority list. I hope you know they can "fix" your mileage as they...

    Viper Crash on Mulholland Highway near Los Angeles, California

    My condolences to the family. The problem is that our founding fathers didn't think up everything. They put the gun in the constitution but left out transportation. At that time it was the horse and now it's the car. The end result is that we have the right to own a gun but just a privilege to...

    BIG news for Dodge - and great for the Viper!

    Congrats Ralph. Now can we get a better looking Gen V? No edges, just curves! :2tu: Uhh, so if my Dodge Ram is renamed to the Ram Ram, that "protects and develops" my Dodge Viper better.:dunno: If you say so! :lmao:

    Is getting a Viper for me a really good idea?

    Fear not the right hand, fear the right foot. Control it and the rest will follow. Practise figure 8s and donuts in an empty parking lot on a wet day (it's easy on the drivetrain and tires) and learn to steer and countersteer with throttle. Once you get that, your survival rate will skyrocket.

    Mystery Oil leak,,,any suggestions?

    It should be pretty easy to trace the leak back. There are too many places that could leak for anyone to make a useful suggestion.

    Used 09' ACR value?

    I bet that myth came from a used car salesman. I can believe 10% but 20% is stretching it a lot. To the original poster, hang in there and don't lower the value of the brand.

    The Viper is this years theme car for the Pound Ridge Car Show!

    This is in my backyard so I'll try to squeeze it in between my kids' soccer game.

    RE: ESC, My viper crash pics

    It seems most of the damage is cosmetic. It should be an easy fix when you get all the parts. 2-3 months is a long time but just in time for Christmas! Are you getting it fixed at Tators?

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    I noticed that too City. He seems impervious to the punishment being dished out. Me likey! :2tu: RCK, I sent you a PM. It's the flashing envelope next to your login handle.

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    Remember that the original poster did say he got on the accelerator aggressively. All I'm suggesting is that when he lost traction, his torque level was way up there and counter-steering might have got him out of out of trouble better than backing off and braking. And it might not. Braking...

    GTS hatch coming apart! HELP!

    I did speak to him about it many years ago when I first had the problem. His suggestion was the same as some of what's been listed above. Let's see if he anything has changed since. I'd still like some CAAP insiders to help us find out the adhesive used on the bracket.

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    I don't agree 100% with this. Lifting the throttle might unsettle the car and make a bad situation worse. It's on a case-by-case basis. I was driving in heavy rain at 60mph when the back end hydroplaned completely and just wanted to swap ends. Had I lifted the throttle, it would have. Instead I...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    When you get another Viper, take it to an empty parking lot at night and practise donuts and shifting at 30mph. It does wonders for understanding the limits of your car without endangering anyone. And if you know the local cops, do tell them you want to try this so that they don't bust you for...

    Mr. Clean Magic Eraser....Stay Away

    The one rule with any cleaner is to follow the directions of use. You have to be loony to use Magic Eraser on your car. :dunno:

    GTS hatch coming apart! HELP!

    My GTS has the same problem. Unfortunately, that bracket is not sold separately so if you bend/break it while fixing, you have to buy the whole hatch. I took the hatch (not the car) to my local glass guy and he fixed it with some windshield glue for 5 bucks. It didn't last more than a year...

    Interesting article about Chrysler

    Why do we have czars in a democracy? :dunno: :crazy2: This country is slowly marginalizing itself.

    Do you find people don't even know SRT-10 Vipers exist?

    IMHO, the Viper has lost it's charm after the Gen 2 era because of it's mediocre looks. I drove by a black 06 in a used car lot and it barely registered as a Viper. :dunno: And as to a Jeep SRT-8 v/s Cayenne comparo, the SRT-8 felt way too plastic compared to even a low end Cayenne. If there is...
