i always felt my z06 got more attention than the viper. lots of chic just seem to think my yellow 05 srt10 vert is a damn convertible viper. which really pisses me off. i really loved my z06 & it's certainly a lot more practical, but the viper is just sooo much more fun.
i got flashed a couple...
if you're on the fence about buying an 08 due to the ridicuous costs of fuel, or (like me) don't like making the middle east filthy rich, offset your dependency of foreign oil w/the purchase of a motorcycle.
you can buy a 2008 ninja 250 for 3500 bucks & it gets 75mpg (if you want to be a total...
i also think the vipers on ebay are a bad sign for dodge. but i strongly believe it's mostly due to the economy, not the car itself. like others have said, nothing is selling.
i completely agree w/the 2010 scenario being the earliest possible termination date of production. even if, in a worst case scenario, dodge didn't sell a single 09, they would still put out a 2010 final edition of some sort.
you don't completely redesign your car & only build it for 2 yrs...
the mopar setup IS LOUD. sounds real mean & very wicked. i just had the mopar race midpipe & exhaust. stock headers. some drone. it would aggrevate me (the drone) on long trips. my 05 was a daily driver & while i loved the setup @ first, the 1500 or so miles that i put on it every month started...
there's NO WAY that they'll increase the HP #s of a stocker for 09. imagine how pissed all the 08-ers would be. chevy did that w/the z06 where they brought it out in (2000, i believe) w/385 hp & then bumped it up to 405hp the next year. kills the resale value of the previous year. i would think...
the Ford GT old news??? that's sports car blasphemy! it's an INSTANT collector's item & one of the most capable sports cars ever produced. also a marvel in the fact that ford kept so true to it's roots. the success of the Ford GT has lamborghini considering producing another Miura. & like the...
@150k you should be looking @ a Ford GT, NOT a car that your grandmother can't tell the difference from the car that your grandmother was supposed to be able to tell the difference from a regular vette in the first place...but can't. :crazy2:
whew...that was a mouthful
c6 version 3.0 is...
:dunno:
way too many car dlrships here in FL really try & rape you. i know you'll find some crooked dlrs in every state, but here in FL, there are a disproportionate amount of scumbag dlrs. esp w/sportscars. i've bought almost every sportscar i own out of state. b/c i can't even get most FL dlrs...
thanks for the knife JonB! I REALLY didn't see that coming!
Now I have something to slash the tires off all those pesky z06's with!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
all thanks 2 u!
seriously, i LOVE my new toy! thanks so much
i like the orange on the coupe, but wasn't fond of it @ all on the vert. those black w/red stripe acrs look devilishly EVILE! whoever was ballsy enuff to order a blk coupe w/red stripes gets a high 5 from me for coolness!
wow, i don't even know what to say about this. are the dolphins in hell? or are we supposed to be in hell looking upwards @ the dolphins in heaven. or is it just plain jane tacky nonsense?!? flipper is rolling over in his grave right now over this. haha
is there a Lassie edition??
not real big on the orange. @ least not in the convertible form. but you nvr know til you see it in person! thanks for posting the pic, i appreciate it!
I LOVE THOSE STRIPES! the interior is lamborghini-wild. all that green inside is so "IN YOUR FACE", but @ the same time, tasteful.;)
not a real big fan of the graphics on the side. i think they are a little much, but the stripes & interior totally rock.
are there any pics circulating about of the new orange vipers? i'd love to see solid orange or orange w/white or black stripes! :omg:
if not, does anyone know when the orange vipers will hit the street?
i'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo tired of waiting. it's absolutely killing me!
The suspense is absolutely killing me! First snakeskin green that's sitting in a dlrship on display in FL, I'll be taking a trip to see in in person. I'm still going classic red, but hey, everyone says green's so cool that i figure it'll be worth the trip. I'm glad it's one of the first colors...
6'3" & i have no complaints in my vert other than sometimes i whack the exposed metal w/my head. ouch! visibility is fine though & comfort level is gr8. :drive:
gr8 write up. very fun to read. i think that's EXACTLY how most of us feel about our vipers. & the guy really hits the nail on the head (unlike most journalists) that the 2 cars are COMPLETELY different & serve alternate purposes. i'm so tired of people whining & complaining that the z06 is so...
i have had 2 leases via Putnam. Each time i purchased the car through a car dealer that sells only hi end sports cars. They suggested putnam leasing. I never kept either vehicle til the end of the lease. But as far as them not taking the vehicle.... it was a regular lease. I would have just...
