    Does anybody know what Viper models and colors coming for 02' ?

    Re: Does anybody know what Viper models and colors coming for 02\' ? Like 2charmed, I would not be surprised if the "03" Vipers showed up in early calendar year '02 (in time for the Detroit Auto Show?)....there HAVE been a lot of sightings, and the '03 development seems to be moving along at a...

    Speaking of Auto World Weekly, is it now defunct? I got a letter a month or two ago, stating something to the effect of they were no longer going to be able to publish bi-weekly, it was going to monthly ...nothing since... anyone seen a new issue lately?

    Purchasing Viper from out of state dealers

    Gotta agree with the above-Woodhouse Dodge/Bill Pemberton was fine to work with, the price was good, car was not damaged in transportation to California. The DMV was a little bit of a hassle, and I had to make 3 or 4 trips to DMV to register it. They need to "inspect" the car in person, they...

    01 ACR owners HELP!

    I've been hunting for one of these too. I contacted JonB at PartsRack who recommended the DaimlerChrysler Distibution/Order Center, the place that sells all the manuals for Vipers I asked for the supplemental manual for the '01 ACR and was sent a regular owner's manual. I called back and...

    How to properly wash a Viper ???

    SoCal Rebel- I have a few fine swirl marks on my sapphire acr that I tried to remove with Z5 (about 6 or 7 coats)- no apparent improvement. I then took the advice of trying 3m swirl remover (several tries at that)- no improvement. I then tried Meguiars polish alternating with 3m swirl...

    Best towels to use?

    I recall seeing another thread on this board about removing swirl marks that mentioned 3M hand glaze- I tried to search for it with no luck. Sal has posted that using 3M foam polishing swirl mark remover #39009 can work if necessary. Can someone please clarify regarding the use of 3M hand...

    '92 Viper sales brochure hard cover

    \'92 Viper sales brochure hard cover Anyone else have a copy of this rather scarce book (it seems to be a standard '92 sales brochure, bound into a black hardcover)? My copy has a pinkish patina/coloration to the Sneaky Pete sticker on the front cover, and I am curious as to whether or not it...

    Viper places 3rd - cupholders a factor...

    To save yourself some nausea, skip the lame charts and cupholder stuff and just watch the videos- they are very entertaining and well done. The narration of the videos reveals that Edmunds agrees the Viper has the best performance and most "head turning" looks (but its "uncomfortable interior"...

    For those that knew, "Ed Big Daddy Roth"...

    Re: For those that knew, \"Ed Big Daddy Roth\"... Wow, sad to hear. I sure remember "Rat Fink", and have several RF items of memorabilia that I really enjoy. Ed's work was truly innovative and creative.

    ACR 5 Point Harness Recall Update

    "I hope they just send the darn replacement harness with the recall notification and save us all a trip to the dealership" ABSOLUTELY!!! Somehow, I doubt it will happen this way (they will cite some reason about safety, making sure the belts are installed right, or some such)- but, maybe the...

    01 ACR set up?

    JonB- tried your suggestion in attempting to get the ACR Addendum packet via the phone number to the place that sells the DC manuals- they have no idea what I am talking about, and have sent the wrong thing several times....would PartsRack be able to get me one?

    If you store your car for months at a time you might wanna read this....

    Wow, hadn't thought of that one- scary to even think about! I guess it would probably be better to take it out of the bubble and charge it with the tender every week or so then?

    If you store your car for months at a time you might wanna read this....

    Jim- Can you use both the Deltran and the car capsule at the same time? I was just wondering how you could seal the capsule if you also have a tender hooked to your car and to the wall?

    Need some opinions: Corvette Z06 vs. Viper

    "The luxury tax died a well deserved death..." unfortunately, this is not true. The luxury tax is still around, but is being phased out over the next several years. New Vipers have a gas guzzler tax of $3000 and luxury tax as well

    Ripped off by NC Scammer (long)

    I had a lengthy email exchange several months ago with someone that "might have" used that name in regards to buying my Viper that was for sale- we settled on a price, were making the arrangements for the sale, etc. when he suddenly started deleting my emails, then dropped his email accounts...

    2003,very expensive!

    I wouldn't be a bit surprised... did you know that a 2001 Viper ACR with stripes stickers for over $90000? With luxury tax, sales tax and registration a current ACR could easily be over $100,000...

    ACR problems?

    As of a few days ago, there were 3 ACRs outside of the shipping room. Two had no hoods and one was in the buff/polish area. My guess is that if yours hasn't proceeded to "finished", it is one of the two with no hood- I am only guessing, but I assume they are waiting for two hoods in the right...

    DC lay off info/reply to Byron M

    until the ...Gen3 body panels get an 85% APPROVAL rating on this bbs...instead of the other way around... Hear! Hear! Those straight edge side scoops have GOT to go! I could live with the new Viper's Camaro SS hood if need be, but the Corvette side is too much, IMHO...

    What color stripes to put on Black RT?

    Sure, there have been RTs with stripes : the white with blue stripes '96 RT the black with silver stripes '96 RT the blue with white stripes '97 RT I've had two of the above- I think RTs look best with stripes!

    What would be a good price for a 2001 Viper GTS ACR?

    Steve, I saw 4 blue ACRs at CAAP yesterday; one in shipping area, one being buffed/polished and 2 that looked finished except they didn't have hoods. Hopefully, yours is among them!

    What is the "Daytona Edition" Viper?

    Re: What is the \"Daytona Edition\" Viper? "...the "Daytona" is being built now" Sadly, this is not the case. I was at CAAP yesterday, and saw no Daytonas being built (matter of fact, I don't think that I saw a single red Viper, just yellow and sapphire blue (with and without stripes)...

    LOW PROFILE CAR RAMPS?

    I have tried Rhino ramps - they are not anywhere close to low enough to drive a Viper onto them unfortunately. Tried them on a '96 RT, didn't work, had to take them back to Pep Boys...
