    Shifter for '08

    I've seen somewhere that there are stock shifters that have been cut down (shortened), so you can keep the stock leather look vs. the MGW rubber-covered ball ... I can't remember who sells them though.

    Anyone order Viper Blue 08?

    Vert. White Stripes. Blue & Black interior. (Exactly like the brochure picture, except with white stripes.)

    Anyone order Viper Blue 08?

    bump. Anybody been to CAAP this week? I'll bet there are painted body panels floating around ...

    A Tale of Two Filters (lotsa pics)

    Yep, you've called me on my joke ... :D I sold the car, so I can't take any 'after' pics of my hack job.

    Repost? Another 08 (SSG) bites the dust before leaving dealer.

    What happened? All these theories? Well, what would you say if someone did that in a Ferrari? or an original AC Cobra? So I'll say it if nobody else will: An idiot. That amount of damage confirms more than appropriate speed for ANY car in a parking lot and in the proximity of buildings, curbs...

    Uh......I finally saw an '08 today

    Those are the one-piece Forgeline rims ... so the car had already been modded ... so less likely to have been a newbe to Vipers

    2008 Viper Paint Production Schedule

    Good question -- would really like to know what is going to be the status of my Bright Blue.

    When are the 2009 colors out?

    Bright Blue with white stripes will be the all-time best Viper color for the ages ...and it's coming so late that so few will be made ... :D:D:D

    2008 Air Filter/Induction Kit from Snake Oyl . . .

    I don't care for the look of the 'wrapped' & cut tubes anyway ... not nice enough for a $90K+ car ... IMO ... I'd just go with a green filter and that's it.

    Will the 2009 Viper get a HP boost to Head off the ZR-1?

    Blinders? Well, that's a two-way street. No, we don't drink the Bowling Green Kool-aid here. I think all the 'Model' talk has to do with the fact that, at it's core, the Z06 or ZR1 is a lot like a Mustang GT500 -- a very well built-up version of a lesser car to begin with. Funny how nobody...

    2008 Drive Train Vibration

    5th & 6th gear ... I assume your talking about higher speeds only, so it's not engine/rpm related. I haven't driven those new '08 tires yet, but some brands can be real prone to flat-spotting in cooler temps. If so, the condition is usually gone after 10-15 mi ... see if it seems to get...

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    C&D Test results (they didn't include the '08 Viper, but I wish they had). I looks like the GT-R's numbers are mostly generated by off-the-line 4wd traction ... the Viper will run a way from it after that: C&D magazine results: 0-60: 2008 Viper (10/07 issue): 3.5 2009 GT-R (5/08): 3.3 ...

    Will the 2009 Viper get a HP boost to Head off the ZR-1?

    I posted this a few months ago: Here's the R&T test results (along with the MT and C&D numbers for comparison). R&T did not test the Z06 side-by-side, so there was no comparison information except that R&T said, "The Tremec 6-speed now features larger gears, improved synchronizers and...

    Will the 2009 Viper get a HP boost to Head off the ZR-1?

    I've said it before so I'll say it again: The '08 Viper beats the Z06 period. The Corvette loses. The Viper is the better/faster car. Any comparison to the ZR1, only applies to the ACR. There is no issue about a Viper 'lining up next to a ZR1' ... sorry, but the ZR1 needs to take that...

    Will the 2009 Viper get a HP boost to Head off the ZR-1?

    Actually, it's fresh off the press (just picked it up at B$N). It's says 'Spring 2008.'

    Will the 2009 Viper get a HP boost to Head off the ZR-1?

    Interesting ...I was just reading the May issue of 0-60 magazine (page 24): "Unlike the Italian supercars that Chevy wants to compete with, the technology inside the ZR1 didn't trickle down from a sophisticated Formula One program. The engine is the Chevrolet LS9, a 6.2L V8 based on the LS3...

    When are the 2009 colors out?

    I know it's probably already been decided, but I think this would work quite nicely ('65 Twilight Turquoise): or this '66? Clearwater Aqua:
