    SRT: Please Pay Attention

    I believe Chrysler farmed out all the new ECU programming to a 3rd party, so you can expect the trend to continue as that 3rd party protects it's intellectual property. Then again why is it a benefit to open up your complete control system to the user on a warrantied, as-performed sold product...

    Venom Black GTS'S Inbound

    ViperJon, while you are right, I do not have a dog in this hunt, I will state that I have always got things done in life, all the while not complained when others did not do their job. Life is life, things happen and sometimes you have to take responsibility for situations when others don't...

    Venom Black GTS'S Inbound

    I hear what you guys are saying and I know, the dealer has a responsibility and the buyer is paying for service. Believe me I get in and agree BUT I am simply stating that any business transaction if you want to get it done, you sometimes have to think outside the box and just take care of...

    Venom Black GTS'S Inbound

    If car is confirmed built and you are waiting and waiting for shipping, just fly in and take delivery at factory. Guys you have to be proactive and take charge at a certain point. I am sure your dealer would work with you on delivery fees that would have been charged if SRT delivered it. I had...

    Belanger questions

    Headers will give it a deep throaty muscle car sound as I had a full Bellanger set up on my 06' I had. Kicker is not header hi flow cat set up will not pass emissions hence if you must comply, you will not pass with Headers and Hi Flow Cats. If all you car about is sound, the right cat back can...

    Greatly appreciated! Sorry I spaced out on the center stack speakers not being there on the GTS? Long day, I guess!

    Custom interior and audio build thread! 1998 GTS

    Can you post some up close pictures of the center rear panel stack, where the speakers were between the seats and the door area where the mid and tweeter were. The last one would be behind the plastic. I am putting a stereo solution together for my Viper but needed to see the area in the door...

    What makes the Gen5 worth $100K?

    Ah.......the Corvette is cute, even "Barbie" has one. That's why they cost less.

    Friends & Family Price: $285,440

    Chrysler may not but the people in the community can. Best to out them on Internet and social media so it hurts them for sales of their other Cars on their lot. There needs to be ramifications for selfish actions like this. Personally I would like to see them go out of business and be broke, but...

    Mopar releases Viper PCM Code to Arrow and Arrington

    Not sure about the Hemi motor programming but for the Viper which is the ONLY cam-in-cam design OHV motor, I am sure it has everything to do with patents and protecting that cutting edge technology. Honestly, you can't blame them for protecting that from other pushrods motors. That is the way I...

    1998 RT wont start after winter storage

    My 96' RT is going in for the BIG service since I bought it 7 weeks ago. Mine takes 10 to 15 seconds of solid cranking before it starts when cold or sitting for more than 2 hrs. It is like it doesn't get fuel on start in that scenerio. After it starts, it sputters for 60 seconds and then fine...

    Gilles said Gen5 will have paddle shift down the line, ANY IDEA/Guess when ??

    Chrysler's biggest development in business has been transmission design and transmission factories. Not far off of feeling that investment needs a real halo showpiece. Why not on the Viper, also for sale to others. GM is not the one running the show on that. They are doing their own thing.

    Average age of Viper owners?

    Was fortunate enough to buy my first Viper a Gen 3 Coupe at 32 after I sold my engineering business. Sold that car last year and was again fortune enough to be able to trade another car we had for a Gen 1.5 at the ripe old age of 39. Will have this one for awhile as it is all for family now...

    Sat inside the new 2013...DAMN IT !! NO ROOM compared to my gen2

    Jack; You do not have to measure them as I can tell you from first-hand experience that the GEN V has a lot more room than the previous models. My first Viper, a GEN III Coupe was tight feeling and had overhang in the front roof, BUT that is what I loved about it for a coupe. The seats were...

    just saw this...

    Yes, the Audi is the winner in my book. It is not about the cost of the vehicle. You have to find what speaks to you. The Audi V-10 Vert speaks to me. Rather than say lets see how SRT responds to the fictional ZR1, it would make more sense to say let's see how the ZR1 responds. ZR1 and Chevy...

    Sat inside the new 2013...DAMN IT !! NO ROOM compared to my gen2

    Well you are right. The Vette is for you. If I was you, I would not even look at another Viper and sell your apparent GEN II. The GEN V has a ton more side to side room inside, though the seat widths seem slightly smaller at the mid shoulder. Maybe your opinion would mean more if we're not so...

    just saw this...

    If Corvette was serious they would have a new Viper in that assessment as well. Sorry but the Audi R8 V10 Vert is the winner in that group. New Vette is a complete disaster. The motor is only 1/4 of why a true car is successful. They could make it 800 HP and I still would not buy it. Who wants...

    Gas, Brake and Clutch pedal assembly manually adjustable in a 1996 RT/10?

    Well, my back is still not good enough to twist around under there to look but when I get into this 96' RT/10, I literally have to arch my back to stretch my legs out to push the clutch to the bottom floor and for the brake and gas pedals. The seat is all the way to the front and I almost need a...

    VCA meet in Estes Park, CO PICS

    Looks like we missed a good time but we are busy takin' care of a new baby. Have to catch you next time when he is a little older.

    Now this, is Awesome!

    Cool shot! Very interesting as they are all different but it is very apparent they are all Viper. Having a GEN III 2006 Coupe first out the gate, my heart felt that model year was the best and my preferred over the older models. We still love it for what it is, but now that we have this 1996...

    What is really behind Viper/Michelin relationship?

    I am clueless as well. By that Logic, I have Viper Specific front tires as they have C1 on them but can't find any code on rear. I guess at this point doesn't matter as not sure Michelin makes those rear 18" 335s for anything but a Viper anyway.In reality beggars can't be choosers and they gave...

    What is really behind Viper/Michelin relationship?

    They show C1 on front tires and no code I can see on rear ones! Big O is mounting them on the rims right now for $16 each.

    And so it begins *** DEALER MARKUP***

    Funny you guys talk about the Cayenne in such a light. It is actually the ONLY Porsche we own or considered. Have a 04' Cayenne Turbo and a 05' Cayenne Turbo X.50 (pre-turbo S)! Test drove many other models, 911 all variants, Caymen, Boxster, and Panamera. The Panamera Turbo S was an amazing...
