I also enjoyed driving the Z06 to Heffners....nice facilities and a real feeling of confidence in his work.....met some nice people and saw some very nice Vipers in his shop.....hope to see the finished 96 GTS on the way back to Indiana SOON.....trip will be quicker, I am sure !!!
Re: What was the solution to the \"heat\" issue? Is it fixed?
The day I was there was the first day of production in 5 weeks....there were approx 65 built red cars there....a few more on the line and black was just starting down the line.....there were NO 100-200 cars built before "the...
Re: What was the solution to the \"heat\" issue? Is it fixed?
Should have worded previous message differently....fix was in place before ANY production cars were built ... sorry... ps...fired my typist !!!
Re: What was the solution to the \"heat\" issue? Is it fixed?
THE FIX WAS FOUND BEFORE ALL THE PRODUCTION CARS WERE BUILT...NO RETROFITTING AT ALL....THE MAGAZINES COMPLAINED ABOUT THE HEAT ISSUE ON TEST MULES....SORRY FOR CAPS, DUMMY TYPIST HERE...
Re: What was the solution to the \"heat\" issue? Is it fixed?
The insulation is precut and self adhesive...looks like quilted aluminum foil(as technical as I know how to get)...these adhesive sheets are put in several strategic areas of the footwell just as the frame is entering the production...
46HEMI.........I have always been a car enthusiast, first car 55 Chevy, new 68 GTO conv, new 69 Chevelle conv..and that was when I was still 16-17....have had lots of Vettes thru the years, all generations....started messing with MOPARS almost by accident, my first 69 Daytona(F6 Green) was just...
Are we ALL old enough to have owned a "Winged Warrior" ???...The first 69 Dodge Daytona I bought was in 1980....window sticker was $4,356....I paid $9,000. fo the car...it had 10,427 miles when I purchased it....sold it in Dec 1988 for $46,500. ....When I bought that car, even my best buddies...
Mine was built Sept 6, 02 and has been in "I" Status for a couple of months...I did get to visit it while I was there a couple of weeks ago(found it sitting there)...the day I was there the first black SRT Vipers were on the line, but none had any body panels on them yet....the cars are...
All 2003 Vipers need a certificate to purchase them....approximately 1300 certs were issued....may be a few special cases where a car is sold without a cert, but the general public needs one to purchase.....
Got a call from local dealer today, mats just came in....car cover arrived a couple of months ago...now, IF I JUST HAD A CAR !!! I have one built and sitting there(saw it)....just send it to old Bill P. so he can get it on the wagon for winter time delivery...may need snow tires !!!
Re: 03\'s Are Moving Again
Tramp....I was there about 10 days ago....there were about 70 built red Vipers in the plant....the Blacks were on the line but none completed....the colors will be built in rotation, so many red, so many black, silver etc etc....this way there will be a few of each...
TEACH THEM A LESSON ??? I AM THRILLED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE SUCH A CAR !!! They could stop producing Vipers like they did the Prowler....I am old enough to remember the 2.2 Chargers, Omni/Horizon debacle, what a bleak time in automotive history for a 60's motorhead.... First of...
Who is to say the guy that buys the Viper isn't just as much an enthusiast as anyone else, certificate or not....all kinds of scenarios evolved during the "certificate period"...I know of one "loyal Viper enthusiast" that has owned several new Vipers, just happened to be between NEW Vipers with...
I have a twin to yours...yes, it is very hard to keep the velvet ropes around these cars....I have put a little over 2000 miles on mine since May....keep in mind, there ate only 22 like ours out there and I know of one that was heavily damaged....they are RARE....would suggest an aftermarket...
I bought an extra set a while back, NOS with centers, for $3000. Had them chromed($700.) and put them on my F.E. ACR.....looks great...still have an extra set of ACR wheels,
Stick with Bill P.......have bought 4 new Vipers from him in the last 2 years(3 in the last 6 months) and 4 Prowlers in the last 2 years....NO BETTER place or people to deal with....you will be more than happy with price/service/help and there is always someone to BS about Vipers with....tell...
Currently have ..."SERPENT"...."SERPANT"....Both for 2003's on order....also have "GTS ACR" and "LAST ACR"....Neighbor runs "V1PER"...notice it is ONE, not an I...most people don't even catch it....bus partner runs "POIZNUS"............
Already have my new cover....local dealer ordered it for me a couple of weeks ago and it came in the next day....approx $255. Now I just need a car to put under it...won't be long !!!
CARFAX....accuracy ??? Don\'t think so....
Last week I spent an evening running vin# of many cars I have owned in the last 15 years or so mainly to see where they were at this point in time.....about half of them came up with erroneous information....mainly title info and damage info was...
I have had 2 "Final Editions", kept the ACR....really think the red /white is the most striking of the two choices.....there is a red/silver GTS in my family also....I think it is very nice, but the white really stands out....also the "FE" is a little something special to talk about at the shows...
