    Told ya...

    Posts like these exists because Viper nation is comprised of diverse, mature, and complex people. One reason VCA is so respected is that they accept and consider contrarian views and does not suppress or delete content that while may not tote the political ball, but is also not vulgar or...

    Told ya...

    Twister I've always valued your posts and that is some good info. The issue I have with the info is that you are offering is that you are comparing a 2013 Gen 5 Viper to 2006 technology in the Z06. And Bob, we can go on and on about marketing mistakes, production/quality mistakes, delivery...

    Ok. So, you've heard what I have had to say, and I have heard what you have had to say. When it comes to the Viper-Vette argument your argument is..."at least we are not a Vette, we are exotic." And when it comes to comparing to exotics we say, "well if I spent $762,183.19 on a car it damn...

    I love Vipers, every generation. I think Viper nation is a rare and unique group of guys and my wife and I love the Viper nation experience. But I hate losing. I absolutely hate it. The Viper got its reputation by being a bad-ass in-your-face design and backed up that bad-assness with bad ass...

    And no, I'm not gloating. But I was right about the Gen 5 Viper when the stats came out, and I wrote that article, The Death of the Viper. And of course I was vilified in here, which is really what I expected. But its the truth. No one outside of Viper World is really excited about a new...

    Game changers

    Took my wife to see the new C7 Corvette at City Chevrolet last night. She loved the car...and so did I. Its a beautiful machine, not as gorgeous as the new Gen 5 Viper, but still a beautiful machine. First sports car under $200k car my wife really liked outside of the Viper family. The...

    Recon - 2014 Corvette ZR1 renderings

    The new Corvette is beautiful, both exterior and interior. When the power ratings and performance figures for the C7 ZR1 are released get ready to eat quite a bit of humble pie.

    Doomed

    Car and Driver has proven the initial premise laid out in this forum. And that is that a 640 hp rwd 3300 lb American sports car is just not that competitive for 2013 and beyond. When the C7 Z06 and ZR1 performance numbers are released our beloved SRT Viper GTS will look like a joke in its...

    "why in the hell do you write **** like that when you know its only going to make people mad as hell?" I dont know, my mom taught me to always tell the truth. "LOL so what are you some kind of mama's boy? This is the real world and people have passions that defy reason...hell you understand...

    Doomed

    Question: What do many if not most Viper owners and VCA members have in common with Mitt Romney, Carl Rove, and Dick Morris? Answer: The inability to understand, interpret, comprehend, and accept the real world that exist around them despite all the facts and data staring them right in the...

    Re: I'm just gone go ahead and say it.... Hey Viper Tony its great to be back! I dont get to get on the site too much but I've been following it a little more lately. Looks like I've been demoted to "Enthusiast" and now I cant go past page 1 in the forums.:grumpy: You know I am a convertible...

    I'm just gone go ahead and say it...

    I love the Gen 5 SRT Viper. I love the less weight, I love the 6 air-breathing gills in the hood. I love the high quality interior thats functional and holds you in place while you're kicking ass and taking names. I LOVE the fact that my wife hates riding in the Viper for long trips. I LOVE that...

    What Retro Cars Would YOU like to See?

    I completely forgot about the Ford GT retro supercar that Ford had great success with and still looks AMAZING and still performs AMAZING. I simply LOVE the Chevy SSR! Still too heavy and rather underpowered but still an icon on the streets. Why do car companies do that? GM went all out with...

    What Retro Cars Would YOU like to See?

    Ford went retro with the T Bird and the Mustang. Chevy went retro on the Camaro and Dodge went retro on the Charger and the Challenger. But there are several seriously popular muscle cars out there that drivers with graying hair like myself would love to see hit the showroom floors. I would...

    Viper PURIST, what is the line/definitiion

    Me too. I cant ever imagine stepping into a GTR and just mashing on the gas and pointing the steering wheel and calling that racing or driving...but thats where we are headed guys. We are headed towards the I Robot days where the computers drive the car for you. Its like when I bought my first...

    Viper PURIST, what is the line/definitiion

    The problem with this entire debate is, "what exactly is the definition of a purist?" I was in a car show with some of my Viper buddies in Charlotte a couple of years back. The largest show in N. Carolina held every year at the Speedway. There were literally over a thousand cars there in the...

    Yet Another Annoying Gen V Article

    So...the car that broke the Nurburgring record has problems handling and needs to vastly improve to beat the Zr1 and a 4000 lb Mustang? Ok, got it. I will say this, 640 hp was/is disappointing but everything else about the Gen 5 is killer. No doubt the C7 will come in with more power and less...

    What are your Top 3 Most Memorable ments in your Viper?

    Thats supposed to read "Most Memorable moments in your Viper". Anyway... 1. My wife and I were cruising along a highway in northern Connecticut in 2007 in March. Chuck Tator had installed a competition coupe cam, Belanger headers, and ported my motor the fall before. In the rear view mirror I...

    The Five Greatest Sports Cars Ever Built

    I too came very close to picking the Vette Z06, but I think Chevy missed the opportunity on power. Had it come out with say, 530 hp or so I think it would have been extremely dominant. Also most articles blasted the car as a daily driver and said it would shake your teeth out over a bumpy...
