I do think you will be able to upgrade in '08, because those cars are going to be built (at least initially). Moreover, the same car is likely slated for '09 as well.
However, if the next build has a tough time selling, DC could pull the plug anytime during the '08-'09 build. In that case...
Of course, all of this assumes that any one of us is interested in holding these cars for 20 years. During that time, sportscars will just about sprout wings. It will be tough to pass on all of the anticipated future enticements and then roll up to Barrett-Jackson in 2026. Hell, by then you...
Sorry to hear about your boy Tony. God Speed.
The coupe is very close to what we ultimately ended up with. Nice job. Now, what have you drawn for '08 or for Gen IV?
As a previous poster noted, this is just a bad time to be selling cars and a great time to be buying cars.
If you really need to sell now, you will take a hit. If not, keep the car and ride out the current slump. This is simply another cyclical market just like any other market, the...
All bets need to be placed before the '08 is announced, so I jumped in and purchased my '06 coupe a couple of weeks ago. So, if you can't tell, I agree with much of the foregoing.
Short term, the prices will stay depressed. Mid to longer term, you will see slight increases back to an...
Re: Final numbers for \'06 production???
So, if we take 1130 coupes and subtract the numbers we know:
50 VCA Red/Wht
200 First Edition Blu/Wht
100 VOI9 Wht/Blu
We're left with 780 coupes unaccounted for.
I agree with Nader that you got the spacing for the wheels done so much better than DC did with the stock car. How far did you bring them out and what can us normal guys do about spacing our stock wheels? Did you just use spacers with longer lugs or did you use wheel adapters (which I hear are...
Jeff, the car looks fantastic. You should be very proud of what has to be the best looking body kit ever for this car!
Now, that said, there are a couple of little things that I could nit pick, but only in the interest of constructive criticism.
The rear is too heavy, as mentioned by another...
There is 100hp in the current block without an issue. It's an overbore/stroke, cam, and more efficient intake/exhaust. On a side note, from my roadracing of motorcycles, I am surprised the car mfgs have yet to use the servo-actuated flapper valve in the exhaust to get the car past emissions...
I brought the black beast (silver stripes) to a very reputable clearbra installer in Atlanta right after taking delivery of the car. They turned us away after feeling the raised edge of the stripes across the hood and front fascia.
Their concern was that the plastic film would not sit down...
Blue Devil at or below sticker??? You will be waiting a long while. Have you tracked Z06 pricing?
The Viper will not be overpriced at $100k because it will be a Z06 and probably an FGT beater. How is that not worth the price of admission? The Viper is a world class car it just needs the...
Blue Devil is a pure halo car. Given the current Z06 MSRP is now $75k, the BD is sure to be at least as significant a jump in price as the difference between base C6 and Z06 ($30k). So, let's assume $110k MSRP, and with very limited production, you won't touch one initially for under $150k...
I'm sure all of the sponser dealers will accept your deposit. Expect to begin at MSRP of $95-100k (up $5-10k from current model) or roughly $20k more than what you can buy the current model for.
Unless you simply have to have an '08 model, I don't see paying $20k for 100hp.
Your post reminded me of my high school days when I used to dream about owning cars like the Viper. Those dreams will keep you motivated to work hard and do what it takes to reach your goals. And, with persistence, you will reach all of them.
I just got my Viper last week (age 35), and the...
Ah, beat me to it. I would be in the market for 3.33 if anyone is interested in putting together a group buy. Should be good for a couple of tenths and still not kill the top end too much. I remember moving from 3.08 to 3.27 on my old mustangs was the perfect change. My car use to annihilate...
