    Rumors...what's the dealio?

    Excellent post! The last paragraph really sums it up......I'm really fed up with National, and would be very happy just being an MCVO member. Bill

    One Strykingly Sexy Snake!

    Congrats on your new ride! I know it has been a long wait. The red/black interior was the best choice in my opinion--looks great! Car looks best with the Hyper Black track pack wheels, just the way it arrived, also JMHO. It's a shame to save them for use only a few weekends a year. Have fun! Bill

    Well, sold my 08 coupe and moving into a 2010 ACR :)

    Congrats on your new ride, Tim! It's a real beauty and you sure won't see yourself coming and going with the 1:33 color combo. Enjoy! Bill

    Designing the composite hood

    Don't know how you found this article---Thanks! Interesting story with good pictures. No idea what the hood costs, but it can't be cheap! Bill

    New sidewinder II wheels ?

    If you remember, Ralph's car was originally equipped with the Matte Black finish. This was a different color----maybe a matte graphite? And definitely a different wheel, with about an inch deeper dish on the rear wheel. Ralph said they were made by the vendor who makes racing wheels for SRT. I...

    New sidewinder II wheels ?

    That is Ralph's car parked next to mine at the MCVO party at the Chrysler exhibit on Thursday night at the Woodward Ave. Dream Cruise. The wheels had a different finish and a different offset than the Hyper Black on my car. I liked the Hyper Black better. The tires were Pirelli P Zero's. Bill

    Viper Dyno Results

    Agreed Harold. Tired of all this repeated negativeness. Not even close to being in the market. Add another to the ignore list.... Bill

    Saw this Gen 5 Viper Dodge dealer ad today...

    Be interesting to see if that happens....I doubt it. Bill

    08 Coupe for sale in the classifieds

    Jason- Thanks for your kind words! Tim's Viper is a great car and probably has another 100K miles left with no problems. No mechanical issues with this car ever except LH window regulator. All service done by the book and documented at my local Dodge dealer. Great opportunity for someone to pick...

    2010 ACR vs GEN V

    Don't know why you would say the G5 gearing is bad. Seems great to me, and SRT changed it for a reason...? Bill

    Rating NE Ohio Viper Dealers

    Jack- Brunswick is a HUGE volume dealer. I have no Viper experience with them, but bought my 2012 Ram there. Sales person told me they were allocated 2-2013 Vipers. The day I bought the truck, they had already sold 16 other new vehicles by 1:30 in the afternoon. A dealer I have been considering...

    Where are all of the 2013 G5 owners?

    So tired of all the noob whiners on the G5 forum. Not you Bob. I love my new Viper and I guess Ralph got what he wanted. I think I prefer the G3/G4 forum... Bill

    check engine light

    Why you don't have a dealer involved with this is beyond me.....you have a brand new car with a warranty and you are talking to guys on a forum???? Bill

    New guy looking for ACR

    First name I thought of, too. FrankBarba is the user name and he has had a very, very low mile hard core available for sale for quite a while. May still have it. Good luck to the OP. More advice to the OP-- this thread would get a lot more exposure in the Gen3/4 Forum. Bill

    Took a look at a new Gen V yesterday.

    There are plenty of Porsche cars at most of the dealerships. Vipers are a lot more rare and many dealers have only one or two cars. Why would a dealer allow test drives? I would not buy a Viper that was a dealer demo, and most of the guys here who actually bought the G5 feel the same way. Allow...

    Dash rattle

    It was no big deal at all. It has been about 5 years since I fixed the rattle on one of my 08's. IIRC, I removed 2 screws in the defroster cover and used some felt padding between the cover and the dash---just in a few spots. The padding was the stuff you put on the bottom of a vase or lamp to...

    Dash rattle

    The dash rattle is very common. It's the defroster cover. Try a search, the info is there. Scroll down to the bottom of this thread and check out the similar threads. Bill

    Pirelli PZero Corsa vs Michelin Pilot Sport Cup

    Not to hijack, but I still have a take off set of Corsa's in the classifieds at a big savings if anyone needs them.:) I put the standard tires on because of rain traction concerns---but after reading NineBall's actual experience, it sounds like it was not really necessary. I also like the...

    Michigan Mile!

    Nice run, Tim! I had to show this to Diane, so she could see the view from the passenger seat at more than 155....looks like a real blast. Would be interesting to see what the G5 would do with the different gearing... Bill

    Have the discussions on the VCA site gone to hell?

    Agree the discussions have pretty much gone to hell on the G5 forum. I have added enough of the posters to my ignore list that quite a few of the threads are half invisible. Bill

    Kris--this is good to know. Thanks! Bill

    Well...I Did it...

    Bet that door issue would have never made it out of CAAP if it had been on the driver's side....probably an easy quick fix. Bill
