    Anyone else have a hard time finding time to drive your car???

    My commute is only 3.5 miles on one 55 mph highway, no lights, no stop signs. Teach college... faculty parking is pretty safe. It gets about equal time with my 130,000+ miles Ford Escape. Take Escape in rain or when I have a night class.

    Pricing and Options announced today

    Maybe the 2013 viper is now targeting the European market where $150,000+ high performance cars are plentiful?

    Throw up pics of your Personalized Viper License Plates

    Thanks. Must be quite a let down though, when folk see me get out the car. Probably thinking "Damn.....batman hasn't aged very well, has he!"

    God made vipers so vette guys could have heroes shirt thread?

    Always one like me??? If you mean I am different from you...thanks for the compliment. The T-shirt is snobby. Also had many vettes...much prefer the viper but wouldn't down the vette or folk that have them. That's a form of snobbery. Also your need to explain how you purchase vehicles by cash...

    God made vipers so vette guys could have heroes shirt thread?

    Had an 02 GTS and now a Gen III. Likely get a Gen IV before considering anything else. Still, going out of your way to piss off a group of vette folk is weak and lame, and definitely reveals some unresolved issues. Maybe Ferraris were built so that Viper guys could have heroes?

    Gen V Price???

    Pricing above 130K will turn some people off. It will also turn some on. Some folk are attracted by a higher price. It keeps out the riff-raff. It helps to ensure exclusivity and has nothing to do with value. In the rarified atmosphere of the supercar, many are more prestige conscious than...

    viper driver side window only rolls down half way?

    Same thing happened to my driver's window on the 06. It happened right after I closed the door with the window down. It was the regulator.

    New Viper is huge letdown

    $50,000 in 1992 has the purchasing power of about $83000 today.

    Gen 4 prices going to drop like led bricks in 5 days

    I would have thought the opposite. If a Gen V costs $130-140K, that might preserve the values of Gen IVs and IIIs.

    2012 Shelby Mustang; 950 hp. Intro at New York Auto Show

    My 2006 mustang ran 10.00 at 136 mph in the 1/4, with a 76mm turbo and 22 lbs boost (sold to speed shop 2011). You can make any car do almost anything. But there are more than 1/2 million S197s out there. There were more S197s spawned in the first 3 months of 2007, than all the vipers since...

    Dodge better bring the rain!

    Maybe....but it will take at least 15 lbs of boost to do it.

    Considering a winged GTS

    On racetrack, where every other car has one, fits in with the rest. Huge wing on a street car looks silly. It's a viper...doesn't need any help to look or go fast with extra pieces of plastic stuck on here and there. Well there you go mate...at least there's some utility in the thing after...

    Whats the big deal about VOI cars?

    Possible....but I stay away from anything to do with special editions. Every automaker uses this marketing strategy particularly at the end of a production run (between models etc). Certainly would not pay an extra penny for one. My viper does not need to be 1 of 1 to make me happy.

    Gen 4 10.78 pass video

    Very enjoyable video, excellent quality audio as well. Nicely done on the run. At first, I thought maybe you were bracket racing and were handicapped versus other vehicle.

    What I've learned in my Viper search

    I had an 02 gts, before my 06 coupe (stock). The 06 is noticeably faster (acceleration) than the 02. I bought the 06 coupe (local purchase with known history) in November 2010 with 4048 miles for $48500.

    Show us your garage!

    You just have to use some imagination. Red arrow points to garage (I think) In the meantime, had to rent 3 garages to store stuff including car.

    Extend warranty or not?

    Bought an 06 coupe with 4048 miles a year ago. Paid around $2000 for extended warranty. Had to replace driver's side window regulator or something, 2 weeks ago (window jammed in down position). Invoice was around $800 with labor. Only asked to pay the $50 deductable. I'm happy.

    BMW Car Club, what a bunch of pricks!!!!

    You can misquote me all you want...but sadly arrogance, ignorance, and prejudice seem very much alive and well in viperland.

    BMW Car Club, what a bunch of pricks!!!!

    Sounds like something a ***** would say Often heard the viper being called the poor man's Ferrari. You mean like quite a few of the posts in this thread.

    C6 Z06s

    I am totally disinterested in street racing, so have no experience with Z06s. Visiting the corvette forum, I find some folk claim they easily beat srt10s under varying racing conditions on the street. Anybody have a different view?

    A random B/W GTS pulled in behind my B/S coupe today...

    Lovely pic. Thanks for sharing. I also had an 02 before the 06. There are certain features of the GTS that I prefer

    Parking in gear concern

    I park with the car in reverse and handbrake on. I notice sometimes that upon releasing handbrake and starting to reverse, the car faulters as if the handbrake was still applied. I go into neutral, back to reverse a couple of times and the feeling of resistance goes away. Anybody else...

    Quarter Mile

    The stang is headed for low 9s. At 135+ traps, need a cage. The interior of the stang, that I bought new in 06, had been gutted along with the rest of the car. My viper is not going anywhere near a dragstrip or dyno machine for that matter...lol. It's just fine 100% stock.
