    ACR wing available?

    That might end up being cheaper than Viagra. Here's the wing for you (and wife) ...

    razor wheels

    Sidewinders are quoted by SRT as weighing 34lbs (per set) less than the old 10-spokes. I think 8lbs per wheel less in the front, and 9lbs per wheel less in the rear, so you may be able to calculate some differences from that. Also, you may want to go back and weigh the 5-spokes again, because...

    black 2008

    Interior looks good with black exterior. Dodge dealer lets it go for invoice, gets credit for a sale, and specialty dealer uses it for attention among other high-end cars, and trys to sell at MSRP.

    What's happening at CAAP or Saleen? We need pics of more colors!!!

    Looks like an Acura NSX in the front ... very predictable and almost boring. IMO. WE NEED PICS OF PAINTED VIPER PANELS IN MORE OF THE NEW COLORS! ... It's March 1st tomorrow; there has to be painted panels, if not the whole car, going into production.

    Wheels or exhaust?

    I would agree. You might even think about picking up some '06 or '08 take-offs (if you have the older 10-spokes), AND get the exhaust too ... all still for less than $8K. ;) Btw, is it your first baby? If so, wife will likely want to buy everything for THE perfect baby'$ room (but by the...

    Polk db650 door speakers

    I had the db650s but they are 2-way with a built-in tweeter -- no good, too much on the highs. The Viper is designed for a component system with seperate tweeters, so I went with the db6500s (and discarded the supplied additional tweeters). Better. The db6500 were 2" deep. I wonder if the...

    2008 ACR runs 1:29.33 at Willow Springs

    For me, it was all about the same day /driver comparisons to the other cars ... 4 secs faster than a Porsche GT3 RS (even the regular '08 SRT10 was a second faster) ... Maybe that driver isn't the best on that track, I dunno, but the ACR was clearly better than anything else on the track that day.

    2008 ACR runs 1:29.33 at Willow Springs

    It's quite possible that a change to the sport cups alone would yield only very little benefit. A suspension and tire work best together when the suspension is designed and set up to handle a given tire's characteristics. From the article: In Turn 9, Millen comments that the stock Viper...

    MTI Green Viper on new HRE wheels

    They did some very good work on my Vette a few years ago. One of the guys there loves Vipers ... they build-up lots of GM engines, and even crate them for overseas buyers ... quite a few go to the Middle-East, as I recall

    Current SRT/10 Market Value Questions

    Looks like you've already gathered lots of information. Most of the higher-priced sports cars are 'soft' these days. It's not a Viper-only thing. Low-mile, like-new Corvette Z06s are going for $50K-$55K ... eBay Motors: Chevrolet : Corvette (item 270213142873 end time Feb-23-08 19:00:02 PST)...

    Does this affect '08 Viper production?

    A federal bankruptcy court judge on Tuesday denied Chrysler LLC's request to immediately retrieve equipment from supplier Plastech Engineered Products Inc., saying such a move could harm Plastech's efforts to reorganize under bankruptcy protection.

    Viper = $90,000+ Halo (image) car. Never intended to sell in large numbers -- whether to new buyers, or previous Viper owners.

    another end of viper article

    Dumbest comment I can recall in recent years. :nono: Corvette is Chevy's flagship, with a 55-year performance history. Mustang is Ford's flagship. And while Mustang doesn't pack the performance of a Corvette, it makes up for it by being unquestionably popular and sold in HUGE volumes. The...

    optima battery

    Had a Red Top -- went dead after several recharges in a few months -- but a loose ground cable in the rear appears to have messed it up (the Red does not seem to be as robust). Went with a Yellow Top, then never any issues.

    08 Viper header results.

    I tried almost every system with my '05 ... in the end, I think the car really doesn't need more noise to draw attention ... the '08's are supposed to be a tad louder than the '03s-'06s, and since headers make any car louder just by themselves, I figure that headers + stock ought to sound just...

    2008 @ Bradenton, 11.4 @ 124

    I agree, and I know what you're saying ... but when magazine, after magazine, after magazine all say the same thing, well, you get the idea ... you personally may have run faster times (than the magazines) in a Z06, but that would just mean you'd be even faster in an '08 Viper :D ... at the end...

    2008 @ Bradenton, 11.4 @ 124

    Sounds like a comparison of apples oranges and potatoes. What does a '97 GTS have to do with an '03-'06 Viper, or a C6 Z06, or an '08 Viper? I've seen C5 Z06s run slower that C6 Z06s ... proves??? The '08 Viper is faster than the C6Z06 -- you're not likely to be disappointed (or every...

    Don't know the track you were running at, other factors, etc. but your times are lower than normal for an '04 (stock).

    08 Viper header results.

    :clap: If you're developing a header that bolts right up to the stock 2.5" exhaust/cat system ... BooYaahh!! That is the way to go with these '08s. :2tu: Who neeeds polished tips? I just want some power gain, at near the same exhaust loudness ... and since the cross-over has now been...
