    Viper to be canceled and new Viper to come in 2012

    Does anyone have a link to Ralph's audio speech on the 4th - I could only download his powerpoint doc: http://www.chryslergroupllc.com/pdf/business/dodge.pdf Take careful note of page 30 - any idea how we should interpret "Under Consideration"?

    SRT Coupe weight - naked!

    if its 2300lbs - why does production have to weigh 3400? The performance difference of just 300 lbs is huge. Thanks for that info...the weight seems too low but if thats what it is then that answers my question.

    SRT Coupe weight - naked!

    No one knows? The reason I ask is to figure out how much the Gen IV body actually adds, and if there is any worthwhile to get the weight down. Maybe its the frame and drive train that puts it there. Just thinking about the weight of the CC, and whether its approachable (especially minus the...

    viper vs. sl65 amg.....

    Buy some good rubber - go to strip and use them up, do it again until you know from doing it. What do they say, it takes 10,000 practices to become very good at anything.

    Is the the New Viper OBD III - privacy concerns

    Well - I am not sure if we can agree that its just inevitable to have one's car tracking all my movements, speed (ie worry about DE days, safety traing - warranty claims), control over ignition system (your car could be remotely shut down car for "emission reasons", travel to see a friend...

    Is the the New Viper OBD III - privacy concerns

    All - is the new Viper going to be OBD III compliant? If so I would think we all should sign a consent for invasion of personal privacy before accepting delivery of the car. :confused:

    The Biggest Viper Myth: The Viper Handling myth

    Nah...the the handling is fantastic even without the nannies - just check out the recent mag comparo (there have been others) in which the SRT-10 is preferred on the track. Mind you, if you are unable to exercise TC with your brain the back is going to get loose since the car has torque - that...

    Cold tire season starting, be careful!

    The only real way to properly heat up a tire in warm or cold weather is to drive it easy to build up heat over time. Give it 10-20 minutes at city/hwy speeds before you try power - its what the trackies do every time..2-5 laps building up speed (=3-5 minutes at 80 mph). Don't lose it when you is...

    Introducing......Street Legal Competition Coupe

    Wayne: That looks great. Question, how does the yout SRRC interior match up to the CC body panels - door, roof, etc - are there big gaps or is it bolt on. And ditto on the Q for weight saving - did you weigh the stock body and glass vss the CC carbon fiber body and lexan? Soory to be a pest but...

    Thoughts on trading in 01 GTS Bumblebee for 06 BB Coupe

    56LesPaul - skip barber is just the start. Agreed, if you drive the car to its potential you will wear some specific parts out faster, but if tires are considered, 2 year OEM tires are far less performing tan new tires - I just get a new set each year- which aint bad. Your car will wear out...

    Thoughts on trading in 01 GTS Bumblebee for 06 BB Coupe

    Yep - the road. Unfortunately, its no way for a viper to be treated. If you love cars, take it to the track. Best fun you can outside a bed.

    Thoughts on trading in 01 GTS Bumblebee for 06 BB Coupe

    Keep the GTS - its too new and you will not get a lot. I kept mine and a got the second car - you be on your way to a collection! Do not listen to guys who tell you to move on. If you move on you will take another depreciation hit...now is the time to enjoy what you have laready paid for. Its...

    Anyone think DC will discontine the Viper soon?

    418: FYI the Ford GT last year is 2006 production: http://www.cnn.com/2006/AUTOS/02/03/gt_over/ As for profit, I have no idea how much DC makes per copy after all the recent discounts. The problem is, I think a lot of buying power is being absorbed by vetter or porsche - frankly the 2 other...

    Shift from 3rd to 2nd at 5500 RPM

    Another very good habit is to start and finish your downshift (if approaching a turn) BEFORE turn in. That way, if you are not smooth, you dont upset the car.
