    My '08 is broken-in and wow!

    Agreed. And I wonder if my Kumho Ecsta 700's would be good for daily DRY driving? The Michelins drive great, other than being hard to gain traction in cold weather. Would the Kumho's be better, or even be Safe?

    My '08 is broken-in and wow!

    This is good to know about the effects of cold weather on these tires. I have a set of Kumho's and 18" wheels which have never been used, but Kumho doesn't make a 19" tire. I wonder if the 18" rears will cause a problem with the suspension, and whether the Kumhos will rut-steer. I've heard...

    My '08 is broken-in and wow!

    The factory recommends 30 lbs, cold, so I upped them to 32 after I had warmed them up. But it is still too cold to get any traction, regardless of tire pressure.

    Help! I can't quit collecting Mopars!

    Re: New pics with top up The conversion was done by Coachbuilders, Ltd, LLC in High Springs, FL, a suburb N.E. of Gainesville, FL. Larry Moran and his son, Jeff, were very easy to work with, sending me photos in-progress and doing very professional work. A couple of VCA members have wanted to...

    My '08 is broken-in and wow!

    I can't get any traction in low gear, even with the R compound PS2s. It was mid to upper 50's today, with sun shining brightly. Any time I gently pust the loud pedal to the floor in 1st gear she started fishtailing. The tires were warmed up, but I suspect the colder air (even in Louisiana)...

    First of all I'm OK

    Pete, I had a similar incident on an overpass with guardrails. Different cause, but same result. My insurer, USAA, had never adjusted A Viper, so we had to go to voluntay mediation to settle. Thank God I'm a trial lawyer and was able to come out okay on that. Talk to Jon Brobst at partsrack for...

    Help! I can't quit collecting Mopars!

    why don't I like butterflies or 4 leaf clovers? Here is my meager collection, not featuring my '62 Valiant Signet with streetable race slant 6 (built by Paul Vanderly, former head of G.M. Racing, and holder of Bonneville Flats record for 4 cly. roadster at well above 200 mph). The Viper is the...

    New Pics of '08 SRT convert

    My Vipers always engaged in OFF roading, but not on purpose :D. Once at little Taladega I went 4 wheels off the ground at turn 1, but no harm done. I only went off course twice at TWS and once at Road Atlanta. If you don't spinout at least once, you just ain't trying hard enough. The trick is...

    New Pics of '08 SRT convert

    Tito, 1. The transmission was notchy in my '05, and was at its worst when cold. NOW the '08 transmission is not notchy, hot or cold, so far. That being said, I have another 75 miles to put on it to have it fully broken-in, so I have never put the pedal to the metal. If it's notchy then, I'll...

    aftermarket part needed for DRIVER Viper

    JD, I have the Snakeoyl cruise I took off the red '05, but it won't work because of the drive by wire, cableless accelerator pedal. I've written Snakeoyl, but no reply yet--holidays and all. R

    Wishing you all a Merry christmas, I wanted to share my new baby through photos taken on a sunny (for a change) day. The top is up because it's cold outside, and the car is so new it takes 90 ft lbs of elbow grease just to get it latched. Any questions, any one? If they aren't attached, I'll try...

    aftermarket part needed for DRIVER Viper

    This post might draw some heat, but I drive my car lots of miles on long trips and I need a cruise control because of right leg fatigue. So cut me some slack for a 63 year old recovering from a bad wreck, which was not my fault. Can anyone tell me of a supplier for the fly-by-wire acclerator...

    2008 Gen 3? 3.5? 4?

    Have either of you actually driven an '08? If not, perhaps you should hold your judgment so you don't later feel a need to recant a poorly considered conclusion. I own and drive one, after having had one of each of the first 3 generations, and I am telling you from the experience of driving...
