    Quarts of oil

    I just paid 145.00 for an oil change at the dealership which caused quite a laugh back at the office. I don't know how much synthetic oil cost but I figured at 10 quarts and $8/quart it was reasonable.

    What are new 04 and 05s going for?

    I paid 68500 for a 2004 with 1800 miles 4 months ago and that was the best price I could see in the nation. I thought I had a great deal because the car had dropped 16K in the first year. I'm hoping that with the diminishing of vert production next year it may slow down the decline. I don't...

    Vette engineer on the Viper

    I like the phrase "extensively benchmarked". #1 it means they thought the Viper was the goal, the standard in the class and #2 "extensively" almost implies they copied it.

    Vette engineer on the Viper

    What do you think of this? Corvetteforum: You've said in the past that you don't consider the Dodge Viper to be a competitor of the Corvette because it's from a different market segment. But I've heard some Viper owners say recently that they consider the C6 ZO6 to be a significant competitor...

    06 SRT Convertible

    At times i thought they used vinyl striping. If they still do would be nice if they issued them for 04s and 05s so we could install them.

    Rumor of Viper Blue Convertibles being built --- it's TRUE !!

    Re: Rumor of Viper Blue Convertibles being built --- it\'s TRUE !! From the photos looks like a lighter shade of blue than the coupe. Great color! :headbang: :headbang:

    Am I Missing Something

    If you can drive a motorcycle the viper is easy. I came from two corvettes and the Viper is more sensitive due to hunting little bumps and grooves. I keep two hands on the wheel when I can see something coming up and then there is no problem. Now I enjoy the extra attention and focus needed...

    Impressions - Corvette to Viper

    Had the same thrill coming from two prior vettes. If your driving doesn't include a lot of braking and stopping the car is a great daily driver. Taking a curve hard in the morning is a greater jolt than espresso! I changed my stereo in the first month and have a better nav/audio system than...

    Given assignment/budget/time, what would AMG do with the SRT-10 coupe?

    Don't forget the badge and seat trim for the extra 25K

    Red Viper Badge

    Besides paying 5K for a mamba edition does anyone know if its possible to replace the front black viper badge on a black SRT with a red one. My black convert has the black badge and the car looks alot better with a red badge. No this is not something that keeps me awake at night.

    Is it just me, or has guy lost it?

    For a 100K you'd think he could spend $300 for a decent digital camera.

    VIPERTRIM CHROME HOOPS INSTALLED (PICS)

    I wonder , did you take any pictures when they were off the car. I'm still hoping the car looks good with no roll bars at all .

    Is the coupe DOA versus the Z06??

    Having just switched from a confirmed vette order to the Viper in the last 3 months, my primary motivation was the vette's problems with production. They never made the car they promised last year and I don't think it will be different with the Z06. They may only produce 1 or 2000 next year...

    Mopar Hurst Throw Shifter

    I'd pay the 400.00 and hope the dealer does a better job than I would.
