    Opinions on adding stripes to a solid color car

    If you're worried about resale, then I suppose you intend to store the car for 20 years in a climate controlled garage and then roll it up to the Barrett-Jackson 2027 auction hoping to make a killing on it. If that is the case, then yes, the non-factory stripes may affect its resale value. But...

    Opinions on adding stripes to a solid color car

    They are clear coated, but only over the stripe itself - not over the entire panel. Z06KLR is on the money in that they do not use a single stage paint. It is a basecoat/clearcoat system just like the rest of the paint on your car. The stripe area is masked, shot with the basecoat, shot with...

    CARBON FIBER SPEEDSTER

    Damn, you've got some beautiful stuff coming along. This is getting exciting because the possibilities are endless with CF. How about an '08 CF hood that we can leave unpainted (i.e. finished like the roadster panel)?

    CARBON FIBER SIDE SPLITTERS! **OUCH!**

    Splitter looks great. Nice lines to it. I notice the car is not lowered though and I'm wondering about ground clearance on a lowered car. How much lower do the splitters make the side sills?

    Moton Suspension Spring Rates

    500 front and 800 rear here as well. Seems to work great for spirited street driving. Might use a bit more on the track.

    2008 Hood for sale....

    Jeff, smooth out the central hump at the intake area a bit (more like '06) and start pumping those puppies out (design has to be a little different to keep DCX off your rear). Lots of buyers here I'm sure.

    Profit on Gen 111 or Gen 4

    No surprise. I owned a 2001 996 and wondered just about everyday how they got $94,000 out of me. I remember telling everyone almost as soon as I picked it up that it was a beautiful car, drove nicely, but the value was nowhere near what I had seen in other cars. The cheap interior really got...

    PIcs from the show!!!!

    I can't get excited about these photos. With the great unveiling that seemingly took place at the show, I wonder if anyone in the crowd thought "gee, that looks really, really, really.... similar to the prior model." For me at least, the lack of any significantly different cosmetics is a bit...

    No Viper Coupe

    Very interesting predictions from '03. Almost unanimously, everyone anticipated that the introduction of the coupe should have come with additional hp in the 550-600 range. Now that '08 is coming with that exact configuration, I wonder if DCX had also planned it that way and that the '06 coupe...

    How many people will sell there Gen 3 For The 08 Coupe?

    The price of '06 coupes is not going down anytime soon. In fact, they should go up. Here's why: the '08 is quoted by the rags as having 580hp, which is likely 520rwhp. A paxtonized '06 costs you $83-$85 new and easily has 100hp more than that with a conservative tune. The vvt and higher...

    2008 VIPER SHOWN IN MAGAZINE

    Gee, 5 pages in and this is the first I catch of this thread. My point has always been that DC has no incentive to design the new car to do anything more than just edge out the Z06. Why do more and face reliability issues? I'll bet they tested all hp from 550 to 650 trying to figure out...

    What is a fair price on this new coupe?

    That is a great looking car and a sought after color combo. The price seems good too, assuming that shipping is close to $1500, making the cost of the car roughly $76,500. I wouldn't get so hung up on the power issue re: 08's because it is likely going to be only a 100hp bump, which would be...
