    Official Press Release - Conner Avenue LIVES!

    I know the workers at that plant really took a lot of pride in their work. I'm glad to hear that it's re-opening. ~Jay

    Bad Bettery?

    The kids at Sears didn't seem to be the sharpest knives in the drawer. Also, if the battery proved to be bad it might have been under Sears warranty which I suppose might have caused them to give the battery the benefit of the doubt. The car is a 2004 and the battery is a Die Hard, so I don't...

    Bad Bettery?

    Are you suggesting that the starter might be bad? What kind of ground issue? I'll look a the battery to see how old it is. Is it possible that the battery would pass a test, but still perform as I described because it's a old? thanks, ~Jay

    Next gen Viper discussed in AutoWeek...scary!!

    Here is some data on how effective traction control is. http://www.howsafeisyourcar.com.au/Electronic-Stability-Control/ There are so many senseless Viper accidents that traction control would have either prevented, or minimized that it's silly not to include it. I have a 180mph car that...

    Bad Bettery?

    In the morning when I start the Viper it turns over as I would expect. Then I drive 5 minutes to Chick-Fil-A, eat my egg biscuit, then when I start the car again after sitting for 15 minutes it is really sluggish turning over. I took the battery to Sears (because it's a Die-Hard battery) to...

    Driver door locks itself every time I get out

    I thought that only worked on computers.

    Driver door locks itself every time I get out

    This problem is still driving me crazy. When my car was at Bill Luke a few weeks ago Eddie spent some time trying to figure it out and couldn't. If the car is off, the door works like it should. It's only after it's been running that it locks itself. I dread that embarrassing day when it...

    Nav/Multimedia Stock Sized Replacement - Review

    That looks awesome, I wish I had known about that before I installed the double DIN unit in my car. ~Jay

    Viper engine details released.

    Or like the C4 ZR-1. It had a Valet key in case someone couldn't handle the 375HP. The key could lock it down to 250HP. It's amazing how far we have come over the years. ~Jay

    Anyone install the new Mygig head unit in a gen 3?

    That's all encouraging stuff. I wasn't aware of that particular model when I bought the double DIN JVC unit. It seems like it would be a great product for a Viper parts reseller to tweak and resell as a plug and play solution. ~Jay

    Anyone install the new Mygig head unit in a gen 3?

    I just stumbled across this... http://shop.xvipers.com/product.sc;jsessionid=18B65C66F093116BA68182C514152725.qscstrfrnt02?productId=166&categoryId=9 I don't know anything about the company or product, but it looks like what you were looking for. ~Jay

    Ideas for a new exhaust system?

    Thanks, for the offer. Eddie will be back in town this week to look at the car. I did notice that the driver side might have had the same grey dust. I assumed it was just a a clean pipe. The right side was black inside. A friend who works for Chrysler told me that emissions related...

    Ideas for a new exhaust system?

    Sorry, that's an important detail I left out. It's 2004 SRT/10 convertible. 14,000 miles. The last 4000 miles were since march of this year when I bought the car. Apparently I like to drive it more than the previous owners. ~Jay

    Ideas for a new exhaust system?

    So I'm on the freeway with the Socal and Az club on our way to Sedona when I lost power. Some of the guys pulled over with me to try to fix it, but we couldn't figure it out. I had it towed to Bill Luke Dodge to have them look at it. Their Viper guru is at Daytona, but will return this week so...

    Anyone install the new Mygig head unit in a gen 3?

    I agree that most aftermarket head units are a disorganized mess and very sluggish compared to good OEM units. I really like the look of this brand http://www.incaraudiovideo.com/oem-in-dash-navigation-multimedia because it look like an elegant OEM unit, but I don't know if it would work...

    SRT Coupe, GT-R, 997TT or Aston Vantage

    Ok, maybe I exaggerated a bit, I paid $42.5k for the viper plus about 10k for the Interior. I didn't realize that Z06s were down that low now. It's a great time to be alive isn't it! ~Jay

    Anyone install the new Mygig head unit in a gen 3?

    I have a JVC double DIN nav unit that I am very happy with. I have a 16gig SD loaded up and also an iPod cable. If I don't feel like plugging in, I can listen to iPhone music via bluetooth. The bluetooth hands free mic works very well, even with the top down. The backup camera is also...

    SRT Coupe, GT-R, 997TT or Aston Vantage

    Was there any Turbo lag? I drove a friend's '07 911 TT automatic and it felt a bit sluggish compared to my '04 Viper. Once to turbo spooled up, its was almost scary! I love both technology and raw muscle. I would love to also have a GT-R. The Porsche was an incredible car to drive-...

    Should the next Vert be a convertable hardtop?

    Galpin auto Sports makes a Mustang with a retractable hard top, and it does look nice! But being in SoCal, I personally don't see the need for a retractable hard top viper, unless it would make it track legal. But I do like going on road trips, so I wouldn't want to sacrifice any of what...

    The 'Ring doubters are already starting to come out of the woodwork :)

    Did they consider the $450,000 Nurburg edition LFA with a roll cage to be more or less stock than the ACR? I know where to buy an ACR that is identical to the one that got the record... at a Dodge dealer with tires and wings factory installed. Where do I go to get an LFA Nurburg edition? ...

    The Car Show

    I think if you watch Top Gear USA's more current episodes you might find something to like. It was pretty lame the the only car that beat the Viper on their test track was a half million dollar race car. Top Gear UK wouldn't count that. Other than that, The guys on Top Gear USA are growing on...

    The Car Show

    I kind of hated that show at first, but I'm slowly warming up to it. For me the bottom line is that it's a car show and that's good, and it's still better than most car shows. If Adam could be speak about 80% less than he currently does, the show would be much better. We all know that a...

    Barret Jackson not such a good deal anymore..

    Before I got the Viper I had Chubb with Agreed value. With every company I called the agent told me that agreed value was available, but when pressed them to verify it, it turned out that all they had to offer was declared value. I had $40,000 agreed value on my '68 Corvette for just under...
