    08 brite blue aero vert.

    Eagles is an individual, me. I have an '08 with 75 miles on her. Though not driven often she is Very strong stock. I love this car. I wanted and had a line on an orange aero vert but the wife nixed that color so I picked up this blue beauty. Eagles

    Installing Mopar Street exhaust -- how to position?

    Cowger, I pulled off my stock crossover system [saved it though] and installed a Roe exhaust similar to your Mopar exhaust years ago and never have I had an annoying drone. However engines I have experience with---- mostly mopars [hemis and b blocks as well as 340's] there is a sweet spot...

    How many are waiting on a Gen V Vert?

    I will buy one if---it has 20 to 50 more hp and has a rear end other than the coupe version. I could live without the hp increase but if the rear end on the coupe is used on the vert I will not buy one. I am also not buying a coupe due to the rear end styling.

    Battery death

    I swear by my Odyssey pc925. Going on 8 years now in my '03. Its always hooked to a tender when in garage--never a problem. Also have them in other cars with no probs. It is a dry cell battery and can be mounted on side if need be. Only difficulty is they are a little pricey and you have...

    2002 RT/10 or 2003-05 SRT/10?

    I would agree with Twister's comments and add; '03 on up are more refined drivers car, cabin heat was an issue in my '96 GTS, one of the reasons I traded it. I bought a '96 new and traded it for an '03 which I still have. Just my personal choice. I'm in Sonoma if you want a little experience...

    What would you like to see as the NEW Engine for the Gen V Viper?

    Design goal of 725-750hp, v10, na, with a new head design with hemispherical combustion chambers built with exotic metals to keep engine weight at or below the current level. The cost increase would be substantial but worth it to me. Oh yes, I do believe in Santa. eagles
