Re: Jesus\'s Supra goes down to my Viper at Speedworld
Great kill.
Jesu would either drive a 42 Woodie cause he's a carpenter or a Prius becuase he is a long hair.
Viper Coupe wheels are heavier than the Sidewinder wheels that it was originally shown with and offered on the Copperhead. This is sloppy for any sports car line.
Again - The 1996 GTS is lighter than the 1992 RT/10. It is also stiffer and has more HP. Do you not see a backwards trend on the...
Thanks. Any constructive criticism of the Viper program usualy gets you attacked by many here.
Mercedes has a tendency to make some of the heaviest cars in their segment (SL convertible weighs 4100lbs) so I don't want to see heft continually trickle down to the Viper.

There are ways to make the glass thinner instead of using Lexan. C5 Z06 did this.
As mentioned before
Aluminum Frame
CF Fenders and Hood
New Wheels and Tires
Lose crossover.
Titanium in the engine whenver possible.
On the new Coupe the entire new roof section should be CF like on the new M6...
Re: How difficult to \'un-bolt\' the roof?
You would then have to fabricate a piece to go over the huge gap left by the missing trunk/hatch system.
It would look cool as I prefer the back end of teh coupe over the convertible.
Another frustrating fact is that They are pumping even more money into the slow selling $450,000 SLR to make it lighter and faster with more aggressive bodywork. DC is upset that the SLR has not had the impact of the Carerra GT and Enzo.
The money and technology would be better spent on the...
