    New Viper is huge letdown

    I was actually worried that I wouldn't like it, but it definitely struck me very positively as I watched the unveiling streamed online. That being said, Vipers have always had a bit of a tug of war between the drag racers and the road racers. It looks to me like there's a conscious effort to...

    Wow! That looks incredible! Now someone just needs to do the new world challenge bodywork on a road car, LOL.

    Comp Coupe Schematics?

    I'm curious if anyone has any exterior schematics (or really good blueprint style pics) for the new "World Challenge" bodywork on the Comp Coupe? I'm trying to do a 3d model of the new car (for a PC racing game), but its tough getting pics of the revamped bodywork. Any help at all would be...

    06 FE Blue /white coupe on eBay for 87,500 buy it now ....But one problem

    Re: 06 FE Blue /white coupe on eBay for 87,500 buy it now ....But one prob Just wanted to chime-in and say that if you buy a new car off the lot, in many states the car MUST be road legal to buy directly from a dealer. Meaning you have to have a front plate holder installed and a front plate...

    Motor Trend ...blah

    Some of you guys are overreacting... The actual quote from the Viper Article... "As of this writing, neither Motor Trend-- nor anyone else--has track-tested an SRT-10 Coupe alongside a new-gen Z06. But we have run them each on different tracks, on different days, and with different drivers...

    Does the Viper have to have a V10?

    Ideally? I'd prefer to see a smarter V10 engine. Something considerably lighter using high-tech materials. As it stands, the main weight-sink in the Viper vs. most other cars "is" the engine. DC needs to take a long, hard look at the LS-series of engines from GM. A lightweight, high...

    So what's dodge's answer???

    Re: So what\'s dodge\'s answer??? I remember the good old days. *points to the magazine ad on the wall* "Hisssstory lesson. Viper: 12 wins Corvette: 0"

    So what's dodge's answer???

    Re: So what\'s dodge\'s answer??? It just isn't gonna happen Craig. There hasn't been an official factory time for 5 years. The Viper's racing days are done, and it appears nobody gives enough of a crap about the car to see it race. Believe me, I'd love to see it, and even then, guess where...

    OH MY GOD! The new coupe is a WOW!

    Very true. A few of my friends were very skeptical of the SRT-10 back in '03, all they had seen were pictures. I remember one absolutely hated Vipers, thought they were ugly as sin. So I trucked them down to a local dealership that had one in the showroom. Instant love, and the one that hated...

    LA Auto show killed it

    That's your opinion though. You have to realize, many people aren't as enthralled with the Viper as we all are. I recently showed my boss (a very big car-guy, never really into Vipers) a pic of the new Coupe from CarandDriver. His mouth dropped open, he started to drool, and I found out just...

    So what's dodge's answer???

    Re: So what\'s dodge\'s answer??? The real reason? There isn't enough money in the Viper program's coffers. The circle-**** that is NASCAR is their main concern. In addition, the ex-pres, Bernhardt(sp) did not like racing, foremost at LeMans. Supposedly he'd had bad vibes about it ever since...

    VCA Edition: Set #1...

    Am I the only one that laughs about the whole "resale value" thing? Last I checked, GTS's were going for some very low money.

    New Z06

    Building an engine that can last 24 Hours and building an engine that can last several years without a rebuild are two completely different things.

    Yea or nay vote for the new viper coupe

    That's not the problem. You can't just add hp ***** nilly and say you're faster. Sure, you'll be faster in a straight line, but a Z06 will decimate you in any sort of road course barring an oval. No. The Viper should have more hp, but it should also have much much less weight. 600hp and...
