Two new TA articles
Yup, smart thing to do would have been to come out with something that got a ton of attention and built up a frenzy, and then add other "mainstream" models for people who want something akin to the current models. Who knows, maybe there's a plan in place. Come out with the base models, work...- Martin

Looking for a cosmetically damaged Gen V
I'll bet we see some that are in the $70k range with minor damage before too long. With the cost of a good paint repair job easily hitting $10k on the striped cars, and the parts/labor costs to repair or replace the CF hood, a relatively minor accident can turn into $30k check pretty quick...- Martin

Looking for GenIV ACR measurements... Thanks in advance..!!!!
It's a pain, but you could back it in if the door doesn't clear the wing. On the positive side of that, you'll be able to get out of your garage a lot faster, too.- Martin

Looking for a cosmetically damaged Gen V
My guess is he might be looking for a car that had some cosmetic damage done to it, insurance wrote a big check, and the seller wants to sell it for a good price and still come out ahead.- Martin

Blue is the new black
That blue actually isn't bad looking. I don't know if I'd go for it (I'm partial to GTS Blue), but it looks nice. Also, from a maintenance perspective, it looks like it'll be almost as easy to take care of as silver. Black would be my choice of colors for a Viper if it weren't so darned hard...- Martin

Gen V crash at drag strip...
Crashing one of these cars really ruins your day... Crazy stuff can happen so fast that you don't know what happened until you look at video footage. Several years ago, I was doing a full-throttle run up in third gear, the outside tires went over what felt like a tiny dip in the road right as...- Martin

Gen V crash at drag strip...
Hope driver is OK - one good thing about these cars is they're about the safest cars in the world to crash. Hopefully we can hear what happened once the dust and shock settles.- Martin

how would you build your GEN V viper?
One thing to keep in mind for the buyers is that the bare cars will hold their value better... When I murdered to death my ACR, I realized that the options get depreciated by about 85% even if the car is perfect and has low mileage. When I do it again, I'm going for performance and no frills -...- Martin

how would you build your GEN V viper?
Buyers are especially weird in the SF Bay area - you get those who want a totally stripped down version of the car with all the luxury frills deleted, but all the go-faster options in place, and then you get the ones who think the car is going to be a replacement for their BMW M6 (and those guys...- Martin

how would you build your GEN V viper?
To be honest, I'd put out an ad that tells Viper owners that they have the opportunity to custom order a car that suits their particular wants. There are just so many options out there right now, and so many personal preferences, that it seems like the only way to get something that will fly...- Martin

Chrysler IPO?
The IPO situation is kind of a political mess from what I understand. Fiat wants to use Chrysler to bolster its operation (things in Europe aren't so good right now), and the Union's healthcare trust isn't happy with what Fiat wants to do and how they're valuing the Chrysler assets. The IPO...- Martin

2013 SRT Viper by Vivid Racing Previewed Ahead of SEMA
I wonder what a Gen IV ACR wing would look like on a Gen V... The body dimensions aren't that far apart, and I'd bet the aerodynamics over the car would allow the wing to work really well as long as it remained adjustable and was at the right height.- Martin

2013 SRT Viper by Vivid Racing Previewed Ahead of SEMA
I kinda think they should have put all of this stuff on a black car - it just doesn't look good on a white car...- Martin

New Gen V for $500 over invoice
Remember when the '09 ACRs were going for $20k below sticker right after the bankruptcy stuff got sorted out. That was kind of a shocker, just a couple of years before, the Gen IV ACRs were going for MSRP+. Too bad I didn't pick up an extra ACR when they were that cheap - I don't think there...- Martin
