    Got stopped doing 80 in a 55 zone

    I passed a pickup truck, but was being so intent on driving I failed to notice the strobe lights on top and the words ".....Sheriff's Department." After I eased by in 4th, shifting down to 5th, the strobe lights became somewhat noticeable. I pulled over and the deputy Said, "How are you doing."...

    Anyone using the VEC3 with or without a supercharger?

    Pythonpete, if you don't mind, what is the going price for installation? I have mine in hand and know of two guys who could do the job, but I don't know what to offer them, or what is a fair price for installation. THANKS

    Anyone using the VEC3 with or without a supercharger?

    I've got one, and am going to have it installed in the next couple of weeks. Anyone who is using one-S/C'd or normally aspirated-I would love to hear from you on tips of installation/use, and how it has helped your car. Faster? Better mileage? More torque of less accelerator? Whatever. Thanks!

    Extended Warranty

    You guys gave an excellent answer to HALF of his question. The first half was whether it is WORTH the expense to get an extended warranty on an '04 Viper. Hmm. Anyone have an educated opinion on this half of his question? :)

    Help! Car won't crank after battery change!

    Re: Help! Car won\'t crank after battery change! The tow truck took it away today. The starter would spin when jumped without the relay, but I don't have a clue as to what is wrong-except that it's electrical. Possibly something wrong with the starter connection from the clutch.

    Help! Car won't crank after battery change!

    Re: Help! Car won\'t crank after battery change! Oh, yeah. I suspect the new battery is low on voltage. If so, I'm charging it, but I wonder if I need a new replacement if it has been discharged before I bought it?

    Help! Car won't crank after battery change!

    Help! Car won\'t crank after battery change! The lights work, the door locks work, the clock works, the battery is properly installed, but the ignition key won't do anything at all. Not even a buzz. I disconnected the negative terminal again and reconnected it (no, the cables aren't on...

    Headers and exhaust modifications

    Try the complete Bellanger system: headers, exhausts, hiflo cats, mufflers and chrome tipped tailpipes, without crossovers. It sounds great, not much louder than stock exhaust in normal operation, but when you punch it, it is probably 25% louder than stock. It does sound much lower and...

    How much horsepower do you think I have now ( at flywheel)?

    I have had the computer tweaked by Roe, greens filters with removal of plastic baffle at hoodscoop, added Bellanger headers with highflo cats and mufflers without crossover pipes (all new Bellanger kit) added to my otherwise stock 2005 SRT/10. Can anyone make an educated guess as to the flywheel...

    Weird phenomenon; car stalls out at mid rpm's

    Re: Weird phenomenon; car stalls out at mid RPM\'s Problem solved by Vipertech. The Throttle Position Sensor/Mapp Sensor was bad. Easy fix once the part arrives. The car drove, albeit it slowly (65-75 mph) to the dealership sixty miles away. Steady "engine check" light, not flashing. The fuel...

    vids of drive bys

    Those beasts sounded great, and I'm glad you have a good, healthy respect for speed limit signs. I agree with your approach: if you're going to fast to read the signs it isn't really your fault. The darn car....

    Age categories for owners

    57 with first Viper, 58 with second, now 62 with 3rd. And I still love competing at roadcourses and autocrosses. At the Viperzone in Dallas a couple years or so ago, I had the 2nd best time in the SRT/10 on my 3rd time to drive the gen III. So age doesn't dimish quite Everything. Ask Paul...

    Sirius radio installed; signal intermittent

    My Viper tech tried to locate it there, but the vents on top of the dash conflicted and would not allow that site. We'll try again in a week or two to find a better site. If necessary I'll mount the darn thing on top of the dash, but I DON'T WANT to put it there. Thanks for the input.

    Sirius radio installed; signal intermittent

    The unit is working, but unlike the radio reception in my Durango,the "no signal" screen appeared, and sound stopped more than a dozen times in a 35 mile trip home from the shop. No bad weather or trees over the road. The Durango never loses a signal except in bad weather or under a carport...

    1DumpedViper's SRT (PICS)...

    Re: 1DumpedViper\'s SRT (PICS)... I agree that the blacks don't go well with that color. Bright aluminum would be best in MHO. In real life no one pays much attention to visors, and they are absolutely necessary when driving East early in the morning, and West late in the evening.

    Re: Sirius radio from Dodge for \'05 Viper I have tried to find that, but the only thing I can find is the factory sirius radio with RB1 and IPOD. My sirius is an add-on, without ipod. The car has the std radio with disc changer, so I still don't have a clue of what kit or harness Dodge can...

    Sirius radio from Dodge for '05 Viper

    Re: Sirius radio from Dodge for \'05 Viper Thanks, Cajun Viper, I was beginning to wonder if anyone knew about this thing. Can you tell me where and how I can order the ipod adapter? Is this available from Dodge? Do you know the part number? My dealer in Slidell says his parts counter can't...

    After driving 1,860 miles in 6 days, I'm needing a cruise control for my '05 SRT/10. Anyone have one of these Vipermania cruise controls installed your car? Is the steering wheel mount reliable and sturdy? It's a little pricey, but it works on a Viper. Vipermania explains that they worked in...
