    Writing off your Viper through business -- How do YOU do it?

    If you want to be moderately aggressive, you can write it off through your company as an advertising expense. You should definitely have a different "transportation" vehicle. This way if it costs 80K, you can write off the full 80K. If you were financing, say for 5 years, then to be on the safe...

    C6 Corvette to suck the doors off competition- By Bob Lutz

    This past April marked the highest sales EVER for the Corvette, and these are far from good economic times. Not only is the Vette profitable, but the mass sales allows GM to put more money into R&D. I would not be surprised at all to see a 500+HP C6 Z06 weighing in at 3000 - 3100 lbs...

    Lost to a Mustang........I'm so ashamed

    Re: Lost to a Mustang........I\'m so ashamed I think they were both designed to be high performance street cars with an edge towards drag racing/road racing. Especially the Cobra. SVT is about well rounded vehicles.

    Lost to a Mustang........I'm so ashamed

    Re: Lost to a Mustang........I\'m so ashamed I see your view, as I feel the same about MOST Vettes, just as I wouldn't get MOST BMW's for the branding attached to them (exception: M5). However, I think the Z06 is an exception. I would definitely choose an 03 Cobra over a regular C5. Believe...

    Lost to a Mustang........I'm so ashamed

    Re: Lost to a Mustang........I\'m so ashamed That's funny when I test drove a Viper, I thought, this feels so much like my R. Except the steering precision, the Viper is even better. Just wait for the GT to come out, if you think supercharging a 4.6 makes an unbelievable combo, the 5.4's...

    Re: Considering buying a 2000 RT but after talking to a former GTS owner i\' I'm glad I found this board, because I must say, you seem to hear more negative than positive about Vipers anywhere else. I came across an older Sports Car Intl article yesterday, it had the ACR vs. GT2 out at...

    So-Cal Vipers

    So where do the So. Cal Vipers go to get service or modifications done (besides doing it yourself)??

    Rodolfe Swiss Watch

    Well I don't collect watches, but wouldn't something like a Rolex be considered an investment, or just another way to store money - like how buying precious metals would be.

    adjustable seats

    I know the pedals are adjustable, but are the seats, and if so, how adjustable (say, compared to a Corvette)?? Thanks!

    Reliability

    Whew, just reading the SRT10 posts and it's scary to read that those cars were only designed to be "cruisers??" Thought I would ask you guys about the reliability of your GTS's, especially 01's and 02's. Is it more likely to leave me stranded than my Z06 or what (as some of the comments on the...

    Question

    Hard to compare the two, the indoor one is resistant enough for me, like if I bump it with the lawnmower it isn't gonna pop! But looking at the brochure they make the outdoor one look like it's pretty extreme.

    Question

    I use a Carcoon on my Cobra, but I use the indoor one since it is garaged. It's excellent quality, I recommend it over the made in China imitations.

    MOMO steering wheel vs airbag

    I have a 4 point harness (and 6 point cage) in my Cobra R, and I would think in that case an airbag would be useless, I can't even reach over to the next seat with the harness on. I would think most people wouldn't want to drive around the street with a harness though...

    Bad times at Huntington Beach Dodge...

    I test drove a red RT10 at HB Dodge. I told the salesman I definitely wasn't going to buy it because I knew I could get it cheaper out of state, but he said to go ahead and test drive it anyways. So I did it, told him I really like the car, but they could not give me the deal I wanted, and as I...

    MOMO steering wheel vs airbag

    - I know I've seen a couple of MOMO steering wheels with airbags... - Having been in an accident where airbags were deployed, I would not want to sacrifice that safety for better looks. I don't think the airbag saved my life, but it played a big part in me walking out of the car without a...

    INTERNALS

    I wouldn't like the idea of fragments being thrown around, I would change the pistons before forced induction. Just my opinion.

    INTERNALS

    You guys are probably gonna get sick of me asking questions after a while, but please bear with me: Can someone tell me more about the make up of the motor in 01-02 Vipers? Pistons, rods, crankshaft, etc. I read from another post that the pistons are not forged? This surprises me. I would think...

    RT/10 vs. GTS visibility

    This may sound like a dumb question, but how long did it take you to get used to this poor visibility to the point where you could safely drive the car at higher speeds? I don't mean being able to slingshot the car around with one arm while changing your CD! I think it always takes time to get...

    RT/10 vs. GTS visibility

    How do the RT and GTS compare in terms of visibillity? Being too tall is not a concern, being too short is (5'6"). Thanks!
