"Viper deal miffs dealers"
Re: \"Viper deal miffs dealers\" I read the "Automotive News" article when it was released last week. As I was reading it, it dawned on me that the only thing that pisses the dealers off is that they don't have the chance to screw the loyal Viper Nation that Dodge is so careful to take care of...- Russ Oasis

I AM ABOUT TO THROW UP.
Anti-lock brakes are one thing. In everyday driving they may save your *** . Traction control is good only on the track. When you're on the track, an experienced driver can drive faster without active handling. That's the difference between Vipers and Vettes. Snakes are race cars built for those...- Russ Oasis

Picture: Yellow SRT Spotted at Fast the Furious Filming
Guys, Why do you even give the rice burners a second thought? To discuss them is to legitimize them. Are there any among us that would be caught dead in a Japanese car? If the keys to a Viper were offered to a tattooed Honda driver, would he not roll his car into the river for the snake...- Russ Oasis

Some SRT Stripe pics
Mike, great job on recoloring the cars. I think that your renderings of the stripes is not right on the money though. There's something not quite right. Could it be that the stripes are a bit too narrow? Check out the red prototype Comp Coupe that was at VOI in St. Louis. It was red with silver...- Russ Oasis

Double Clutching
Guys, I can't believe that more of you aren't hip to double clutching. You will save the synchronizers major wear and tear if you properly double clutch on the way down (shifting). The purpose of double clutching is to match the shaft speeds internally in the tranny. If you rely on the...- Russ Oasis

What's up with the Brits!?!?!
Re: What\'s up with the Brits!?!?! British cars are sooooo lame that I wouldn't even take their automotive opinions seriously. I have an XK-8 that's about as fast and handles as well as a Buick Le Sabre. Furthermore, if they could actually keep a car out of the shop for more than 1000 miles it...- Russ Oasis

The Viper got really hot today..
I installed a 190 degree thermostat on my 96 GTS and found (much to my dismay) that it did not lower the peak temperature when I sat at a light or idled for quite a while. It does let the engine cool down much quicker and to a cooler temp once you're rolling again. I'm not sure it was worth the...- Russ Oasis

How many of you that don't like the SRT-10 Like the Competition Coupe?
Re: How many of you that don\'t like the SRT-10 Like the Competition Coupe? I'm one of the guys who's stunned by how beautiful the Competition Coupe is and am mediocre about the SRT. I will be getting one of the CC's and have also ordered an SRT, but don't like it anywhere near as much at the...- Russ Oasis

Which dealerships (specifically) are quoting $500 over invoice
You can put me down as a big believer in Woodhouse too! I had originally ordered a car from them, then changed my mind several months later. They refunded my deposit with no questions asked. They are totally straight. Bill Pemberton is the best. Ask for him when you call. I wish they were in...- Russ Oasis

2003 Comp. Coupe
OK....I'm trying to contain myself...but it's hard. I too, got the call from Kim! I'm getting one of the CC's in the first run. I don't know who I can call (to tell) next. It's all that I've been able to talk about for 4 days. Understanding both sides of the issue, I'll be racing in the VRL...- Russ Oasis

Bob Lutz Gives"Thumbs Down" to the SRT/10!!!!!
Re: Bob Lutz Gives\"Thumbs Down\" to the SRT/10!!!!! OK guys. Lutz is a guy who calls it as he sees it. If he liked the SRT-10, he would say so. And Steve, to blame the "softening looks" on drivers who want a top that doesn't leak or a better stereo, is looking to the wrong place. I think that...- Russ Oasis

Any news on the Comp Coupe orders?
Frankly, I hope that they do consider Skip Thomas's series first in awarding the Comp Coupes. It's good to have a dedicated venue where we can race with "our own" so to speak. In SCCA races you have to deal with every other type of car, many of them not of great value. Some of those drivers...- Russ Oasis

Poll on SRT styling
I just finished reading this entire thread and must respond to a few things said. Firstly, the SRT/10 isn't anything like the GTS-R that we were teased with in St. Louis. In addition, the aggressive looks of Gen I and II are nowhere to be found in the new model. Clearly, everybody sees this...- Russ Oasis

SRT/10 Design
To say that the SRT/10 is disappointing is to be polite! I own a 95 RT-10 and a 96 GTS. NOBODY is a bigger Viper fan than me. When I saw the SRT/10, I felt like somebody pulled my guts out. Talk about a friendly looking design! Pretty soon they'll be using it as an animated talking car in the...- Russ Oasis
