I'm almost positive I saw that a CAAP tour is one of the options during VOI 10. If you're not trying to scheudle so that you can see your specific car being built, VOI would probably be a good time to visit with all your Viper cohorts.

My wife and I went there this morning with the Viper club, what do you want to know?

it is. but from what i have read, there are three tours and you are randomly selected for which tour you will get to take. unless i comprehended it wrong, you may not get to go on the CAAP tour at V0I 10.

New colors we saw today were orange and purple. Not sure what the actual names are. We were all allowed to take photo's, but I never even thought of bringing my camera.

Here are some shots of the orange and purple panels we saw today on the tour. Sorry for the marginal shots, but the lighting was bad and all I had was a small camera.
They said that they had only built one orange car (no details).
Both colors look like they will be great in the sunlight!

There were several built ACR's in the plant. Here's the only one with the wing and splitters attached:
That's a black ACR without a wing just over the hood in the shot above.
The whole build going on today was ACR's on the line.

Would someone please clarify CAAP. Also are these hoods for 08 or 09? TOM.

I believe CAAP is conner avenue assembly plant and the hoods are for 08

Perhaps the neatest thing we got to see today was a direct comparison of all of the generations of Viper engines. They had them side-by-side (we were trying to figure out how to roll them out the front door!).
Below is the classic that got us started (and keeps many of us going!).
This is the new 600 hp baby!
And if your really want some big factory horsepower, here is the ILMOR marine engine. This version puts out 635 hp -- they have a 710 hp version, and more.
It's really interesting to see the differences in these bullet proof factory engines.

One of the nice touches they have added since the last time I was there is the display of some of the classic Vipers that helped establish the heritage:
If you are coming to VOI 10 (or if you are just in the Detroit area) you should make the pilgrimage -- it's really worth it.
