Is this guy nuts?
The price a seller places on what he or she desires to sell affects whether something sells or sits. If that simple concept escapes you I'm not sure anyone can help you. A good example is your car, which still sits in your garage, month after month, collecting cobwebs as you longingly admire...- wirepaladin08

Is this guy nuts?
Let me try again. The law of supply and demand is covered in every Econ 101 course -- but not everyone took Econ 101 and some people who took it failed the class. It has an application when a product is priced at a level where it just sits there forever and doesn't sell. The frustrated seller...- wirepaladin08

If a car sits and sits and sits without selling it is not priced at a realistic level. Duh.- wirepaladin08

A Viper owners worst nightmare...
You are a lot nicer than I would be in this situation. I understand that you have decided to keep the car. That being the case, I would make a written demand on the dealer's president that they reimburse you for the costs in dealing with this mess that you are still out of pocket and give them...- wirepaladin08

Suggestions on smoothing out ride on a 2008 ACR
Last week I changed out the factory Cups on my bone stock 2009 ACR for Michelin Pilot Super Sports (with 285/35/18's on the front). My experience with the ride difference is the same as several earlier posters in this thread. It drives like a totally different car on the street. The car is...- wirepaladin08

Let's be real, what would it take? Only short answers please
An ACR but not one with forty more horsepower than the ACR I now own. Somebody else mentioned it and I agree -- the HP number needs to start with a "7." And the car can't sell for $150K, either. Existing owners have too much tradition of the Viper being a lot of performance car for the...- wirepaladin08

Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales
I don't know how typical I am but they lost me as a buyer early on. Minor league performance / horsepower increase coupled with a major league price increase = me losing interest in a hurry. To add insult to injury they were very vocal early on about "no discounting" by dealers. I'll at...- wirepaladin08

VCA Drama: what are the known facts?
I know next to nothing about the history of the controversy here. I've seen none of the nasty letters, etc. and probably won't go to the trouble of trying to form a judgment as to who has behaved properly or improperly in the urination contest that has transpired. In a situation like this...- wirepaladin08

Encounter with a "Tree-Hugger"...Has this ever happened to you?
I'd had my '08 coupe about two months. I had stopped at the dry cleaners to drop off some clothes when a guy in a Prius pulls up and says "Your car sure uses a lot of gas. You should be ashamed." I responded "I'd be ashamed if I was driving that piece of **** you're driving. And when you...- wirepaladin08

Too early to start planning on my Gen V ACR?
I have zero interest in buying anything until I see what happens with the new ACR -- if there is a new ACR. If there isn't -- or I don't like what is in the works for some reason -- I'm fine with keeping my Gen IV ACR, which I love.- wirepaladin08

Incorrect. The bill you cited earlier never even made it out of Committee. It died.- wirepaladin08

Tested: 2013 SRT Viper vs 2008 ACR Viper
I've seen the video and read all the commentary. I'll keep my 2009 ACR and the xx thousands of dollars it would take me to trade for a Gen V for now. If and when a Gen V ACR surfaces, I'll think about getting one of those.- wirepaladin08
