    Z06 owner with some general questions???

    It aggravated me a bit, but it made my life better! I then got a 300ZX TT, a 911, and then the Viper. Life has been great! I guess I owe them jerks a big thank you?

    Z06 owner with some general questions???

    I had a 89 convert that would not stay running unless the foot was on the gas pedal. Anytime you lifted the car just died. I also had a 67 big block and 75 convert in the garage. So I would say I was a real big fan. Anyway, after 5 attempts to fix the problem, (they even had a tech come up from...

    What is Viper Days???

    One thing that makes Viper Days unique is that the event caters to VIPER, which means tracks that are well suited for Vipers at the safest of tracks. I would drive 1000-1500 miles to have a safe fun weekend rather than driving at a local track that is not well suited for what the Viper does, and...

    Buying a used Viper and need your help!!

    The President of the Illinois Viper Club lives very near to there. He just also happens to be a great mechanic. You might want to give Bill a call. Who knows he might already know the car? His shop number is 708-481-9560.

    Viper (& other) Driving School Prices...

    Jeff, go to a Viper Days first and learn in the Viper. Once you get through one viper school then you can try many of the others out there. Viper is just so much more car and once you get the chance to see it you will have an easier time at schools with those tame models. You will even feel like...

    Z06 owner with some general questions???

    As a former Vett owner I am glad GM offers some "performance" version, I thought it was way overdue. But after driving a Z06 I found it to be bland and uninspiring. It was fast, but it still looks too much like a stock C5, and after driving a truly limited production car like the Viper, the Z06...

    cross drilled rotors??

    PVO had tested the drilled version on the last generation Viper and they failed. They told us that they cracked way to easy. I do not know what version or brand.

    SRT 10 Coupe coming soon?

    Charm, I forgot to answer your "fiscal" issue. I am just very cheap, and love bang for the buck, maybe that's why I like simple or even less, since I equate that to more for the money. Viper to me means "more than anyone else has at that price". So having two of the same, or close to the same...

    SRT 10 Coupe coming soon?

    I guess MY angle is that some of us (or maybe I should just say me) care more about the overall performance and ability to use that performance, than we do the looks? Don't get me wrong, I love the looks of ALL Viper's so far, but beauty is and always will be in the eye of the beholder, so that...

    Special Warranty Questions.....

    There is a product called Bankers Direct, and yes, all ASC and even ALL dealerships will generally take this (that is unless they want to be difficult). The problem is that there a re a few vehicles that are excluded: Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4, Stealth, Viper, Renault, Pugot, Rolls Royce...

    SRT 10 Coupe coming soon?

    Charm & All, thanks for the great reply's! Now lets see if we can follow this peaceful path of discussion and expand on my question a bit? I also want to say that this is just for conversation and I have been in no way influenced to ask these questions. First the way I see things: RT/10, a...

    SRT 10 Coupe coming soon?

    Charmed, I have a question that I need you to answer? When you get your SRT/10, and if it provides you the performance and everyday driving experience that a fixed-top viper would, would you still desire a "GTS" version of Viper? I am not tying to start a debate, I just want to hear your honest...

    Why doesn't D/C supply the better drivers for magazine testing?

    Re: Why doesn\'t D/C supply the better drivers for magazine testing? I have been to a few press events, and Dodge has NO SAY in which members of the press drive the car. The only thing they can hope for is that the driver they get has the SKILL to really move a Viper. And as someone who has...

    4 passenger SRT-10

    You might want to wait until April when Chrysler debuts the new rear wheel cars in New York before you say NEVER!

    THE STING

    Frank, I guess you got what I may have failed to properly write. I would rather spend 1,000-2,500 more for peace of mind, and to know that my extra money gets put back into my community (VCA) verses saving some and having the POTENTIAL headaches that may be attached to that savings.

    THE STING

    Buge, first off I was one of the people fighting to get any kind of cert program we could for the members. Once that hurdle was crossed I was also in a meeting that revealed that as with all things, there would be some people that would find ways to defeat the good intentions of the program. I...

    THE STING

    Keith, we are now on the same page, and I do remember what you are eluding to. I even remember speaking to you about those issues! I hope you help this situation in the same manor as you have handled past issues. If that happens we can all be sure that this will turn into another great VCA win!

    THE STING

    Keith, I will side with the fact that I do not KNOW anything about dealer franchise law or agreements. I only know what I was told by Dodge. They have always helped in the past. And one of the ways they have helped is to even warn us prior to it ever happening. How many companies are going to...

    THE STING

    Keith, since I held NO OFFICE with the VCA or my local Region during these solicitations, it was not my position to assist any of the dealers trying to snake in for the kill. Now add to the fact that 6 of the dealers that sent this too me have in the past done everything in their power to screw...

    does anyone have a profile shot of this custom Viper?

    The car above was owned (may still be) by (then Chrysler Executive VP of Sales and Marketing and later CEO) Jim Holden's neighbor. It took Jim's signature to get that build as a one off.

    THE STING

    Janni & All, I got 17 letters from dealers that wanted to extend "special" offers to the VCA members in our region. Of those, not one of them found there way to our membership (at least by my doing), since I was already very comfortable with the dealer groups we currently work with. This is a...

    THE STING

    Janni, I am not blaming the customer, and in this case, not even the dealer, since it is clear that the dealer today is not the one who signed the contract. I am saying that this scenario was predicted, and with some sugar sprinkled on the situation they may both come out of this in great...
