    2008 ACR! What Series Will Allow It?

    From a driver's standpoint, I'd agree that would be terrific. But from a fan/viewer's standpoint, they want to see all these ultra-high-performance cars go at each other. Something is terribly wrong with the leadership of sports car racing, if you have all these awesome cars being built, and...

    Any REAL '08 Interior Pics?

    Does anybody know what a regular black center section (with the armrest cover) would cost? I was think I might like to order the blue and then switch in a black center section ... I remember the (red) center area on my Mamba used to get dirty looking ...

    Surprised by lack of buzz over the 08

    The Viper has never suffered from a lack of attention on the street. Even today, a 2003 SRT10 stopped at a gas station will have people walking up to look at it. IMO, the '06 Viper Coupe was hurt by the Z06 being faster (and cheaper), and then the new '08 lost some interest when the magazines...

    Next Gen Viper/New body style

    It was both factors. Emissions actually started to affect performance in the early 70s, as V8 power numbers started to come down from a peak just a few years earlier. But Jimmy Carter, elected in 1976, imposed the then 'new' 55 mph national speed limit and the EPA began to impose fuel economy...

    Next Gen Viper/New body style

    'Plans' don't mean squat. Ceberus is, just now, laying down new strategies towards getting a return from their investment. If you think there's better than a 60% chance those current next Gen Viper 'plans' will continue -- all the way to production -- well, that could be the sad mistake if you...

    Next Gen Viper/New body style

    Answer: Probably never. Going forward, think in terms of 'evolution,' like the Porsche 911. The SRT guys have already explained that they were given a wad of capital, enough to redesign the body, or upgrade the power/performance, but not enough to do both. They chose the latter. The new...

    Any REAL '08 Interior Pics?

    I was hoping the 'slate' gray was going to be much darker, for a more subtle effect. And how about adding the MGW gauge trim rings while you're at it (to save us all the trouble after we get the cars). Or ... how about a Turquoise/Aqua color if Dodge comes back with a White exterior color: :D

    Thanks. I missed that post. Decisions, decisions.

    Any REAL '08 Interior Pics?

    Are any of these first '08s coming with the Blue/Black or Slate/Black interiors? Can we confirm (from an actual '08) that the Blue interiors look like earlier years? Still trying to get as much info to change my order, if necessary ... ... and yes, you'll all have to keep looking at this...

    08 Made 546 rwhp

    That's why this '08 doesn't need 3.55 gears. It has so much power that only needs 3.33 gears ... but just think about how quick it will be with the 3.33s! As I've said before, 3.33s might be my first and only mod. :D

    Mercedes Testing New Gullwing in Viper Shell

    Dose tricky Mercedes guys! Yah, un dat's very clever. (Shhhhhhhhh ... that's the Black Devil answer to the ZR1) Seriously, you can tell it's not some tweaked Viper because the wheels have 5 lugs. But now we know what Mercedes was really up to: they just wanted to get their hands on Dodge's...

    where is the power for the ACR

    yep, you're missing something. Think about all those absolute crap rip-off Porsches and Ferraris and Lambos that cost much more. I mean ... where do they get off charging that much for such under-powered, poor-performing junk. Pathetic. Now an 800HP quad-turbo Hyundai for under 50K...

    These are great times were living in...

    What's all this noise about. The magazines have documented that the 2008 Viper beats the Z06. Case closed. So a ZR1 seems to need a blower to keep up. The ACR will probably still beat it on the track where turns are required, and with the factory Mopar headers/exhaust (675HP) and some 3.33...

    Let's Have The Vca Send Dodge To The Ring With The Acr!!!!

    Here's another idea (maybe easier than sending charity to Dodge): The VCA Challenge: >VCA members chip in $10 each, until we have, say $20,000. And Dodge supplies an ACR. >Challenge ALL other clubs (Corvette, Porsche, Ferrari, etc.) to show up at Road America (another large track) next summer...

    Pictures from LA Auto Show

    Sorry, but I just can't look at a Lambo without hearing Miami Vice music in my head ... the complete opposite of a true track car like the Viper. Doesn't 'Lamborghini' translate to 'Poseur' in Italian?

    Detroit News "Dodge Viper Magnificent Dinosaur" article

    "... the Viper symbolizes the very best and the very worst aspects of America's relationship to the road: Arrogance for thinking we can guzzle gas by the gallon while the rest of the world measures it in teacups; childish clinging to a bygone era that was truly great while it lasted." The rest...

    Who has had their stock wheels chromed?

    Here's what I would like to know: How often do these chromed rims flake or peel? Any owners out there that have experience with their chromed rims beyond a couple of years? I was also looking at having rims anodized, but now I've heard that that finish can also (rub/scratch?) off? I've also...

    Viper could become a Chrysler!

    Cerberus Capital Management is in very deep s__t. They bought a 51% stake in GMAC one year ago, paying top-dollar at the height of the sub-prime mortgage craze ... GM kept the other 49% and just took a $38B write-down associated with that 49% interest. So Cerberus has other BIG issues in...
