    Is this guy nuts?

    The price a seller places on what he or she desires to sell affects whether something sells or sits. If that simple concept escapes you I'm not sure anyone can help you. A good example is your car, which still sits in your garage, month after month, collecting cobwebs as you longingly admire...

    Is this guy nuts?

    Let me try again. The law of supply and demand is covered in every Econ 101 course -- but not everyone took Econ 101 and some people who took it failed the class. It has an application when a product is priced at a level where it just sits there forever and doesn't sell. The frustrated seller...

    Is this guy nuts?

    If a car sits and sits and sits without selling it is not priced at a realistic level. Duh.

    Is this guy nuts?

    He thinks he has something really special. He doesn't.

    A Viper owners worst nightmare...

    You are a lot nicer than I would be in this situation. I understand that you have decided to keep the car. That being the case, I would make a written demand on the dealer's president that they reimburse you for the costs in dealing with this mess that you are still out of pocket and give them...

    Suggestions on smoothing out ride on a 2008 ACR

    Last week I changed out the factory Cups on my bone stock 2009 ACR for Michelin Pilot Super Sports (with 285/35/18's on the front). My experience with the ride difference is the same as several earlier posters in this thread. It drives like a totally different car on the street. The car is...

    Let's be real, what would it take? Only short answers please

    An ACR but not one with forty more horsepower than the ACR I now own. Somebody else mentioned it and I agree -- the HP number needs to start with a "7." And the car can't sell for $150K, either. Existing owners have too much tradition of the Viper being a lot of performance car for the...

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    No luck finding a Reventon? :)

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    I don't know how typical I am but they lost me as a buyer early on. Minor league performance / horsepower increase coupled with a major league price increase = me losing interest in a hurry. To add insult to injury they were very vocal early on about "no discounting" by dealers. I'll at...

    VCA Drama: what are the known facts?

    I know next to nothing about the history of the controversy here. I've seen none of the nasty letters, etc. and probably won't go to the trouble of trying to form a judgment as to who has behaved properly or improperly in the urination contest that has transpired. In a situation like this...

    Encounter with a "Tree-Hugger"...Has this ever happened to you?

    I'd had my '08 coupe about two months. I had stopped at the dry cleaners to drop off some clothes when a guy in a Prius pulls up and says "Your car sure uses a lot of gas. You should be ashamed." I responded "I'd be ashamed if I was driving that piece of **** you're driving. And when you...

    Too early to start planning on my Gen V ACR?

    I have zero interest in buying anything until I see what happens with the new ACR -- if there is a new ACR. If there isn't -- or I don't like what is in the works for some reason -- I'm fine with keeping my Gen IV ACR, which I love.

    Texas State DPS Troopers apparently like the V

    Incorrect. The bill you cited earlier never even made it out of Committee. It died.

    The bill never made it out of the House Transportation Committee. It died there last March.

    Tested: 2013 SRT Viper vs 2008 ACR Viper

    I've seen the video and read all the commentary. I'll keep my 2009 ACR and the xx thousands of dollars it would take me to trade for a Gen V for now. If and when a Gen V ACR surfaces, I'll think about getting one of those.

    Who's waiting for the ACR ( or track version of the gen V) ?

    I have a 2009 ACR that I bought new and really like. Never tracked the car, low miles and bought it with an extended warranty. I'll consider the 2014 (?) ACR when it makes an appearance but I'll need some more information. What does it look like, what is the performance vs. the "old" ACR...

    Who is planning on upgrading parts right away?

    Thanks for the candid response. I realize that the chances of a major problem following a mod are slim. But then the chances of my house being destroyed are slim, too -- but I still have homeowners insurance. If I spend well north of $100K on a car, I really like to have a warranty the...

    Delivery Delays

    I've been thinking about shopping for a 2014 ACR but now fear that I have neither the sophistication, IQ or income level to qualify. I wonder if I'll now be forced to sell my two Gen IV's due to my Neanderthal status? I long for the good old days when all you needed to do to buy a car was to...

    Chrysler dealers eager to sell 2013 SRT Viper

    Pretty much sums it up. I like the two Gen VI's I have and don't plan to pay a ton of money to "upgrade."

    How many are going to wait for the srt viper acr

    I will wait for the ACR to come out. I'm quite happy with my 2009 ACR and may end up just keeping it if they are too proud of the new ACRs.

    Oh for god sakes

    Won't adding headers void the factory warranty? A warranty is a nice thing to have.

    Rear Noise on Sharp Turn

    I had the same type of noise coming from the rear of my 2008 coupe. Kind of a deep "growling" noise when making a sharp turn at low speed. It would not happen all the time by any means. This began at about 5000 miles. My local Dodge dealer serviced the differential and the noise stopped and...
