    How much notice before SRT arrival?

    Just wondering what kind of warning or notice I can expect before my SRT is actually delivered to the dealer - to have time to get things lined up, etc. I don't want it to be sitting around while I'm squaring away my biznus. Thanks, Daffy.

    SRT-10 Desperately Needed !!!

    I don't know about others but IMHO just because you want to make contacts with potential buying leads doesn't mean you're undermining the process, or doing anything the DC Secret Police would shoot you over. I for one am interested to talk to folks who are looking for SRT's. My interest is for...

    Green or Red EBCs???!?!?

    I've done the green on my viper & my BMW. It is one of the best things I've ever done to a car - virtually no brake dust at all, an amazing difference. On the viper I found that when doing SCCA autox events I was locking up once or twice per run with the originals, but have a better feel with...

    What Do You Think??????

    Don't do it! You're too young! You see, the problem is once you get the viper, no other car will be enjoyable, it is simply an amazing car. If you get one now @ 16, you won't have the pleasure of enjoying other rides leading up to the viper, you'll be ruined for life - only satisfied by the...

    '03 Viper vs. 03 Z06 - Automobile Mag test results

    Re: \'03 Viper vs. 03 Z06 - Automobile Mag test results C'mon, how can the Zo6 take the SRT on the road course? The press I rec'd from DC claimed lateral G in the 1.15 territory, now with 95 more hp than the Z06, & what, 100 more ft/lbs of torque, plus reportedly better brakes now than the...

    What are the BEST perf tires .. period?

    OK, I'm looking for no-hype opinions from folks who know, so I thought I'd hit the old VCA board. I'm looking for the best performance tire for road and auto-x use. Now, I think I know the answer for auto-x only, which I believe would be the Hoosiers (DOT). But, I also believe these aren't...

    Anyone with a Viper For Sale......

    Ricky, You say viper but I'm not sure if you're looking for a GTS or a RT/10. If you're interested in a black on black 2000 RT/10, less than 9K miles, only mods are in my sig. Shoot me an email & I can send pics etc. Dave. BTW, very nice truck, but I'm not in the market for another SUV.

    1/4 Mile - Argh! Good in hole, but then ...

    Well tried 2 runs at the local track & very frustrating. The track isn't a great one for sure, but ... I get out of the hole OK, 1.9 60 foot time (32psi in rear tires). Trap speed isn't bad at 118mph. But I tried shifting at 5800 and at 5200 on the two runs, both same result. Granny style...

    1/4 Mile - Argh! Good in hole, but then ...

    Thanks for the replies. They make me feel a lot better actually. Yep, 3.07 rear, only mods are in sig (by Jason I should add). Jason, I know you're right, next time I'll exert the extra effort and go to a better track, Capitol isn't that out of the way for me, that's my next outing for sure...

    1/4 Mile - Argh! Good in hole, but then ...

    I'm just using the stock tires & setup, I even left the AC on as it's not much of a factor. I went to 75-80 Dragway in Monrovia, MD. It's a small track and kind of known for not being great, but it was a spur of the moment decision as I was within 15 mins of it & decided what the hec. I think...

    SRT re-sale value, is there any $ there?

    Seems like there's a consensus on there being some money there, and I agree there will be a sweet spot for it, which is kinda why I'm poking around now - even before I know exactly when my car is due. My thinking was, I have a deal for invoice price, if that's about $76K, plus taxes etc it's on...

    SRT re-sale value, is there any $ there?

    Well, I believe I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm not going to bond with my ordered SRT. So, I was wondering if there is any money out there on the re-sale of pristine SRT's. I could simply tell my dealer, nevermind & I know he'll re-sell it instantly. But, is there a market for me to go...

    Best thing about the SRT/10

    I believe the most impressive thing in what I've seen and heard so far about the SRT is the handling. The email I received from DC states performance targets that include 1.15G lateral acceleration. Not that I've researched this, but that's the best I can think of from a production car. Is...

    Does anyone here use the A/C?

    FWIW, I use my AC on 90 degree plus days and haven't had any overheat problems, so I don't if I'm lucky or what. Dave.

    post your best pic of your cleaned Viper.

    Mainly testing to see if I can manage a pic post, let's see ... Doh, guess not, derr. Dave. How about: Neat Look Neater Look Best Look

    Need to know the price of the SRT-10

    OK, with all this $80K+ talk I'm starting to sweat a little. So, my question is a little different than MSRP, what's the SRT going to cost me? In other words, what will the invoice be, so I can add my $500 to that & know what I really need. If this puppy is heading into the 80's+, I'm afraid...

    What were you like the 24 hours before you recieved your first Viper ???

    Didn't hit me til I went to bed the day before, virtually no sleep, & I was getting over a cold so was not feeling very well. Got up in the morning & had to take a train from MD to NJ, missed the train due the parking lot being under construction, had to take a later train & sit in the train...

    Rt guys !! Bikini top !

    John, I might be interested. It drives me nuts that there's not a top available like the accordian I had for me Porsche targa - small, lite, 20 secs to put on. As opposed to the 40 lb baby elephant rubix cube design from the factory. Please keep me(us) posted. I'm also in MD. Dave.

    SRT10 in person vs. in pictures

    I definitely agree REVVER. I've read some posts that disagree, but for me in person the car is a thousand times better looking than in pics. Frankly, it's just not photogenic - most of the time. Also, it looks much better in person when it's not up on a show pedestal, putting it in the air...

    OFFICIAL SRT-10 POLL!!! THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN?

    Toddt, Maybe I can clarify my position, because I've ordered one & put in thumbs down, which may seem contrary. I'm on the fence as to whether I will give up my RT over the SRT, if the perf is significantly better, than I plan on making the switch. My logic is I can get the car for $100 over...

    OFFICIAL SRT-10 POLL!!! THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN?

    Oh, this thread keeps calling me, so I guess I'll post, but it can't possibly matter at this point, the SRT is done, I need to learn to love it, or move to another car & I'm sure there'll be that "new crowd" member to move in & replace me in the new viperdom. Anyway, I was going to explain...

    Auto-X and EBC Greens

    I have greens and have autox'ed 4 times with them. I haven't noticed any real difference except they feel a bit more forgiving. I had a couple of split second lock-ups on the stocks, but with the EBC's I feel like I can play with the pedal better, but it may just be my getting used to the car...

    Probably a dupe, but great Comp Coupe pics

    Steve, I think it's a little off base to say, "you can buy both, so what's your point". Not to be defensive of myself or others, but for one, the CC is race only, so I, for one, can't buy both, I'm not a race care driver looking for a race car. Second, I don't know about everyone else, but my...

    Probably a dupe, but great Comp Coupe pics

    Well I don't get it. I've yet to see the Comp Coupe in person, but did see the SRT in person. The SRT is growing on me, but then I see these pic's & it just plain pi$$e$ me off. I don't get how DC comes up with the comp coupe & then scales back the aggressive design to do the SRT. The CC...
