    Skip Shift Elim. Nonfunct. with K&N Air Intake

    Tom: I have installed K&Ns twice. The first time the air temp sensor resulted in the problem. The second time I treated it like a heart valve. In my case, it came down to care when removing the sensor. While you can twist it out, for me it was better to simply pry it slowly and make...

    Yea or nay vote for the new viper coupe

    Art: I have heard the same thing as Robert, there will be other colors available. My family likes the blue car; I would prefer black/silver. We'll settle on red. Seriously, must wait a few days to find out. Regarding pricing..."see your Dodge dealer for details." I did. :) Seriously, Bill...

    Skip Shift Elim. Nonfunct. with K&N Air Intake

    Ralph: Make certain that you did not damage the O2 sensor when you installed the K&N. You removed it from the stock air intake and then installed it in the K&N. Since it does not come out without effort, it is easy to damage. If it is damaged, the PCM will receive error codes and...

    The Reason May Be ME Four-Twelve

    "According to Deutsche Press, around 300 Chrysler ME 4-12 will be built each year, largely with carbon, aluminum, and other light-weight metals. Road testing is scheduled for late January, with production rumored to start within two years. The car itself is being built in the United States by...

    The Reason May Be ME Four-Twelve

    "Wolfgang Bernhard, chief operating officer of the Chrysler Group, drove the ME Four-Twelve onstage and emphasized that the super sports car is not really concept car, but a working prototype." Alice

    The Reason May Be ME Four-Twelve

    http://autos.msn.com/as/article.aspx?xml=chrysler1&shw=autoshow2004 By far the most dramatic of the four vehicles was the beautiful, purposeful ME Four-Twelve. This supercar was made all the more impressive by the revelation from Trevor Creed, senior vice president of the Chrysler Group...

    What Daimler-Chryster Owes Me

    Re: What Daimler-Chryster Owes Itself The relationship between a car companies and racers is an historic tradition. Bill Jenkins, Sox and Martin, the Ramchargers, etc. etc. Manufacturers owe much to the drivers and builders. In the 60s, the entire muscle car experience was driven by that...

    What Daimler-Chryster Owes Me

    Re: What Daimler-Chryster Owes Itself Craig: Have you considered that the factory shut down to prepare to assemble the coupe, sped up release of the `05 Convertibles to have the space for what was to come next... I do not expect Chrysler to give me anything in return for ownership. If I were...

    Can Gen III secede from the VCA?

    Snakebitten: I understand what you are saying. However, I do not think that this Forum would die a lonely death if populated by SRT-10 owners and VCA members. I do not think all such owners/members are charmed by the SRT-10s and its definable limitations. Indeed, true SRT-10 owners are the...

    What Daimler-Chryster Owes Me

    Re: What Daimler-Chryster Owes Itself Bob: I was unable to tell where you feel we disagree. My basic tenet is that I am entitled only to the car I purchase. We Americans have a profound (mis)conception regarding entitlement. To wit, everyone is entitled to everything. By contrast, I believe...

    What Daimler-Chryster Owes Me

    Re: What Daimler-Chryster Owes Itself Chris: I do not expect that the SRT-10 Coupe will have a change for 2007. I strongly feel that the 2006 SRT-10 will be the final year of that model, coupe and convertible. I believe that for 2007, we shall see either no Viper at all...or, my...

    What Daimler-Chryster Owes Me

    Re: What Daimler-Chryster Owes Itself Chris: There were never indications that a horsepower increase was forthcoming at this time. I did not expect it. I do anticipate it for 18 months from now. I likely shall proceed with the coupe purchase. Even though it is not what I had hoped it would...

    What Daimler-Chryster Owes Me

    Hirohawa: Right now, Mercedes does not have an $85k sportscar. Daimler-Chrysler has the capacity to change that. A new body with a new engine is more probable than a reworking of this current design. Regarding Competition Coupe in Street Dress. That would have been great, but you need DOT...

    What Daimler-Chryster Owes Me

    Hirohawa: Excellent points. However, I do not believe that the Viper Coupe shown at VOI was ever intended as the forthcoming production model. I also do not believe that the Viper was developed as an excercise in giving a voice to the people. I believe (this was pre-D.C.) that it was the...

    Can Gen III secede from the VCA?

    Bob: I concur...without reservation. Elitism as I recall is a noun: "someone who believes in rule by an elite group." I view VCA as an elite group. I view the Viper as an elite car. Gen I & II people are rightfully elitists, enviably so. Diversity is over-rated. It implies...

    What Daimler-Chryster Owes Me

    Nothing. I bought one of their vehicles. I like it. I would buy it again. My dealer made money on the transaction. It is a great car. The company, the dealer, and the American Economy benefitted. So did I. Do I want: a. There to be a totally redesigned coupe? b. It to have a new chassis and...

    Can Gen III secede from the VCA?

    Jody: The ignore feature will become available since it is a commonly desired feature on all bulletin board systems (software). What I wanted was interaction with VCA members exclusively (since they owned a Viper by definition) and interaction in SRT-10 Discussions (since these were owners...

    Can Gen III secede from the VCA?

    I think what Jody is saying is that threads are derailed by numerous groups; it is not just the Gen II advocates. There are non-VCA members, non-Viper owners, and often it seems that there are even those without a valid driver's license. I joined VCA the day following the purchase of my...

    Corsa Track (just purchased) for sale

    The drone obscures any music listening, and if you use the car as a primary driver, it is not a particularly good idea. Unless, like some of us, you would rather listen to the exhaust than to music. The upside advantages outweigh the negatives. The side sills are now without heat. The cabin...

    Just Changed to Polk Speakers. What to do with the back speakers?

    Re: Just Changed to Polk Speakers. What to do with the back speakers? Actually, while the frequency of human hearing is usually specified as being from 20Hz-20kHz, the very young can hear well beyond 22kHz, and some organ pedal notes are palpable below 18Hz. Since the 6.5" woofer in the...
