So if a person is a born-again Christian, trying to live a more meek and humble life, it also means that he/she cannot have nor voice an opinion? Au contraire! Try dissing me harder - it ain't working so far. ;)- xanadu

Pass the expense off to the consumer who wants the options - isn't that how all vehicles are sold? When you trade in a vehicle, don't you check its value based on the options it came with? When you purchase, don't you pay extra for options you want over and above the standard model? If there...- xanadu

What makes you so hell bent on saying that I am NOT an owner? Because I do not brag about what I do own or do not own any longer (sold this, sold that, had this, totaled that)? Because I do not put anything in my signature to be boastful about menial things? One of the first things I started...- xanadu

I'll be sure to do that!:) Your right, they are not for everybody, but if they don't start to appeal to more people, there will not be very many more production years to come. You "purists" are not making the yearly sales - it's the common sports car enthusiast with a little more to spend...- xanadu

Me too, when speaking about sports cars. But what does an automatic have to do with this post? Paddle shifting sequential MANUAL gearboxes are not automatic transmissions, they are manually shifted (ie, shifted by MAN).- xanadu

Let me clarify - physics, but as it relates to ultrasound. Tator's are good from Sonic. I prefer curly fries from Arby's.- xanadu

2000Black RT10 - Thanks, but dang Bud, I'm way lost. You're speaking a language I've never heard before. Important thing would be to keep the job, so let's not go anywhere that would be jeopardized. So you live in RUSH country (hence my screen name)? Neil Peart rules!- xanadu

You've got me!!! I have no idea. I just copied and pasted an article. Perhaps ViperPhil can shed some light. He seems to be a pretty smart cookie with mechanical engineering stuff. I'm still trying to figure out what prophecy expert Chuck Missler was talking about physics wise from a CD I...- xanadu

That was too funny to read. Nah, why would you want to see the Viper any more like the current high end cars winning serious road races. Just get some seat belts and feel the passion. Why see the Viper continue in production another several years either? The bottom line is really this: The...- xanadu

You'll have to try harder than that. Like I've previously said, I'm an outspoken, opinionated, Born-again, Southern Baptist, Right Wing, anti-abortion, Conservative Capitalist Jesus freak - I've been attacked and that was like a weak thump with a broken finger.- xanadu

Hmmm. Let me ask two questions: 1) Since you are only intrested in engine advancements, exactly how much horsepower would you say will be completely enough - no more? 2) What level of horsepower (number) will you say that the Viper will no longer see sales great enough to justify a continued...- xanadu

Vette's are cookie cutter cars made with plastic bodies. The Z06 is very impressive, but it looks too much like the common Vette that is seen passing by on every street each 2 or 3 minutes. The Viper is a low production run and therefore not so "dime a dozen".- xanadu

Okay, once again I will defer back to the article I've posted here (#92) about the sequential dual-clutch transmission which has already started production. It was designed by Chrysler in conjuction with Getrag. Here's is PARTIALLY what it says...- xanadu
