    04-06 SRT 10 interest

    You only pay tax on the difference here in Florida as well - one reason why I've made my rounds to dealers asking if they'll handle the transaction (me selling my car to a private party), and in most cases no biggie and just a small $100-125 fee. I sold my Supra to a guy in TX and a Chevy...

    Captree 12/10

    Nice pics and some extremely nice rides! You know what I find interesting about the Viper... You can park one next to a Z06 or FGT and it holds its own as a striking, modern execution of high performance American muscle. Yet, at the same time, you can compare it to "ol' school" classic...

    Interior Mods New Steering wheel

    Nice, Vette Essentials does outstanding work - and I suppose for them, a wheel is a wheel. They had a loss in their family several months ago, but kept the business up and running - some really nice folks with a super work ethic. Good to know they're receptive to any custom work! ~DT

    Any Ideas...The Dealership totalled My SRT10 Today

    This just scares the hell out of me! I'm (very slowly) starting to shop SRT's as a very high probability candidate for my next ride, but yikes, this is the 2nd or 3rd incident like this I've read here in ~3 weeks. This is definitely one of the downsides of high(er) end domestics - dealing with...

    Tampa Area SRT wheel trade

    FWIW (which is probably very little as I don't have my car yet :D ), but I would have definitely gone $1500 + 10-spoke/tires for 5-spoke/(equivalent)tires. I'm a huge fan of the SRT 5-spokers (in the various flavors, SRTC's, CHeads, etc.) Timing is everything I suppose, good luck! :2tu: DT

    Bat's KW's Coilovers installed, black emblems too. (PICS and thoughts)!

    Re: Bat\'s KW\'s Coilovers installed, black emblems too. (PICS and thoughts)! Very cool! Nice job on the before and after photo positioning too! It's unbelievable how much the ride height effects the look - the first side profile before/after doesn't even look like the same car. DT

    How much to paint dash?

    Dang, that's outrageously cool with the matching stripes! :2tu: DT

    IForged or CCW ??

    Howdy Folks! I've had IForged and CCW's (second set of CCW's actually, classics for track, SP500's for street) Here's the thing - if you've never dealt with cleanup/polishing on a 3-piece wheel (with exposed fasteners) it's sort of a PITA. The single piece CCW designs are +much+ easier to...

    0-100 MPH: SRT10 Coupe and Z06 - dyno sheet...

    Re: 0-100 MPH: SRT10 Coupe and Z06 Howdy - I noticed you posted in a thread regarding a Paxton supercharger (saying yours wasn't experiencing the same technical issue as the thread starter's) - so I assume you're running a the same supercharger. Was enjoying the thread, and didn't want to...

    SRT's are not Photogenic

    Re: SRT\'s are not Photogenic Howdy Folks! Interesting topic - we were down in Flager this past weekend - lots going on with the Jazz Fest - plenty of interesting rides out and about. Saw a nice 360 F-car, an *amazing* Porsche CGT (where do you park _that_?) Anyway, saw a red SRT and I'm...

    Major crash at Road America

    Damn! What a major bummer - I'd rather see a new $1M exotic wrecked than those classic rides! Hope everyone walked away without any serious injuries! DT

    Vipers vs ZO6 General Concerns

    Howdy! Well, they're providing a warranty - but I would assume they're not re-imbursed by DC (er, not through the conventional channels at least), I would catorgorize that as an aftermarket warranty, not unlike LPE or Callaway provides, or maybe more along the lines of a factory-tuner...

    Vipers vs ZO6 General Concerns

    Howdy! Given the pretty high flow of the LS7 heads (reported to be 360I/214E), and the unbelievably mild OEM cam (for a 427ci motor), I suspect we'll see some 500-525rwhp cam only (with a reasonably stout cam), and 525-550[rwhp] cam, headers (1-7/8 - 2" primaries) and some tuning (maybe an...

    Vipers vs ZO6 General Concerns

    The car that just put up an official Ring time of 7:43 :) Regardless of exclusivity, etc., etc., that's pretty damn impressive (the 2nd Gen runflats must be reasonably effective too!) Cheers! DT

    No Viper Coupe

    This thread (and mosts of the posts) is from July/August of 2003 - ledfoot was commenting on the speculation from "back then" vs. what we know now (that there _is_ actually a Coupe headed for production, though without the HP bump that many suggested). Seeya - DT
