    What do you guys want to see in 08?

    Would be nice if DC would actually train their dealers about the Viper. Nearly every dealer I have spoken with recently had no idea of the various color choices that became available or even the wheel choices! DC really needs to do a better job communicating with their dealers about the...

    2006 Coupe: Viper Slate Perl Boost Photos..

    Bobby Archer (FortWorth) put it in for somewhere around $1900 and took my original as a core. Price included all labor etc. (bobbyarchermotorsports.com) If you check on the mopar site the part alone runs $1995 so I think Bobby cut me a good deal. I'm sure John Archer can do it too...

    2006 Coupe: Viper Slate Perl Boost Photos..

    Try this in your 06 Coupe.. Find somewhere where you can do a left hand turn in a tight circle (like a skidpad), preferably one with an angle to it (like a parking lot on a hillside). Now crank the steering wheel all the way to the left (and hold it) and go about 15mph and then gradually...

    06 Coupes-Painted if no stripes, and black if stripes, go figure

    It's gotta be an aborted stripe car. Maybe it has blue stripes :) -J

    06 Coupes-Painted if no stripes, and black if stripes, go figure

    The "literature" also stated that the FE's were to be the only Blue Coupes (check )http://www.drivesrt.com/en/viper.html) Here's another: -J

    06 Coupes-Painted if no stripes, and black if stripes, go figure

    You know, I think they did it that way to save the trouble of painting the diffuser area. That same area on a GTS is painted (and striped). Just a thought, -J

    Viper is back....any takers???

    06 Coupes-Painted if no stripes, and black if stripes, go figure

    I just figured out something unusual about the paint on the 06 Coupes (may be true of the 06 Verts too, didn't check). If the 06 Coupe has stripes, like these cars: Then the rear "diffuser" area is black. However, if the car does not have stripes the rear diffuser area is color-keyed to...

    What's is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?!

    Re: What\'s is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?! Awesome report Patrick! Maybe the new motor will have variable valve timing? And maybe they found a way to fire the cylinders one at a time (instead of Firing Order 1, 10-9, 4-3, 6-5, 8-7, 2). Or maybe they will fit in 4 valves per cylinder...

    What's is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?!

    Re: What\'s is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?! I thought the FGT was a short-termer due to the engine redesign (emmissions) requirement and the new "smart" airbag requirement (not side impact regulations though since they don't take effect until 2011). Those expenses plus it being merely...

    What's is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?!

    Re: What\'s is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?! You are correct, but it has nothing to do with the exterior of the car (previous discussion was pertaining to the hood redesign). The Ferrari exemption is regarding airbags...

    What's is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?!

    Re: What\'s is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?! I FOUND IT! http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/rulings/Anton_FRNov16.html On December 4, 2002, the President signed into law "Anton's Law", P.L. 107- 318 (December 4, 2002; 116 Stat. 2772), which provides for the improvement of child...

    What's is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?!

    Re: What\'s is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?! DO you have a link to this? This is the first I have heard of this. Best I can tell there is no such thing as "new (USA) federal front impact regulations". Here's a link to a recent "study" that does not include any such discussion...

    What's is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?!

    Re: What\'s is going at the Connor Assembly plant ?! There is no such thing as "international regulations" when it comes to automobiles. Automobiles can be "homologated" to comply with standards enforced around the world. The Viper is not an "international" car of significance, mostly...

    VCA Coupe raffle

    Received my tix (3 pak) last week (I mailed in my form last week of May) and the highest is 1006. So, if they are being issued sequentially that would mean they are over $100K (they need $110K for it to be 'on' and not a 50/50) and I bet not everyone bought the 3pak (@ $100/ticket) so some of...

    The engineers answered questions "in the post with the questions"...this was confusing to me. If you look through the posts from "non SRT engineers" pay attention to the end of the posts, many were answered in the post where the question was asked. hope that helps -J

    What is the cost to Convert to ABS?

    According to John Archer (www.archerracing.com) it costs in the neighborhood of $8,000 to convert the non-ABS GTS to be ABS. A lot of the expense is the labor of removing and replacing all wiring harnesses throughout the car. You might give him a call, he has converted cars before. By the...

    June 14, 2006 SRT Engineering Thread

    Are there factory-sanctioned assemblies to change the Coupe's exhaust from the side pods to the rear? And, if so, are there 'new' side pods available that do not have the exhaust tip outlet? =================== Any ideas on how to make the gauges more useful when tracking...
