    Watch out for the new E15 gasoline.

    Corn based ethanol is a political issue, ironically enough, coming from the same idiots responsible for MTBE fiasco. Any complaints should be sent directly to US senator Dianne Feinstein:2tu:

    Kelly Blue Books Value of Vipers.. whats their deal and why are they so stupid?

    Selling prices are dictated by demand. If there is no buyer willing to pay the price you think the car is worth, you either sell at the price offered or you do not sell. If the prices in KBB are unrealistically low, this is a good indicator not to consider trading your car in. The way I think...

    AMAZING PRICES on new Gen V

    That is a good thing then:2tu: Oh and I believe Tadge as much as I believe Obama. Cars are not a matter of belief, they are matter of science, laws of physics and hard facts, none of which go along with Juechter's claims. Nevertheless, believe what you like, Viper being a better car is a fact.

    AMAZING PRICES on new Gen V

    Yup, Juechter, the same guy who claimed comparable performance for new C7 vs. C6 Z06. I would certainly rely on his assurances, LMAO. If you run into that genius, you may want to ask him about the Nurburgring lap time for the new Corvette and its top speed. Apparently Tadge must be having a...

    AMAZING PRICES on new Gen V

    Maybe these things are so obvious to you because you chose to rely on GM's assurances instead of doing some math and reality check yourself? Check the Hennessey stunt if you really think new Corvette has superior aerodynamics, and this is the narrower car, with less air resistance than the...

    AMAZING PRICES on new Gen V

    If you want to reserve any discussions for somewhere else, you should not start them here. Since I already have one Viper, I would say the 40 hp difference from the Viper I have right now did not motivate me very much. The fact I am looking for a replacement for my daily driver was another...

    AMAZING PRICES on new Gen V

    The upcoming Z06 will never ever outperform the ZR1, it will be lucky to outperform the last Z06. Neither last Z06 or ZR1 sold well, GM had to offer big discounts and zero financing to push them off the lots. At 90k, base Viper costs less than the previous upper level, like Carbon or...

    T/A: The RIGHT car at the RIGHT time

    According to SRT, 2013 SRT with track pack weighs 62 pounds less than the standard SRT. Has this changed for this year? http://www.drivesrt.com/news/2013/02/science-at-speed-the-srt-viper-track-pack-is-here.html

    T/A: The RIGHT car at the RIGHT time

    From what I see, the SRT with the track pack that includes the two piece rotors, is the lightest model of new Viper, am I correct here? Unless my info is incorrect, the TA weighs about 50 lbs more. If the ground effects indeed generate downforce and are not just for looks, wouldn't you aim at...

    T/A: The RIGHT car at the RIGHT time

    How much does the TA versus SRT with track pack weigh? How much actual downforce do the CF bits generate?

    Does the 3006 Viper still come with wheels or wings only? Must be a fly by wire, too...:2tu:

    Viper t/a #21 now on ground at fremont cdjr

    Well, I tried to get in touch with the Roseville dealer and I am not getting good vibes at all. I chatted online, made an appointment to see the car but was never answered the question of me getting in the car and trying seat and mirror controls. When I gave them my info, they ended the chat...

    Is Gen 5 more suitable as a daily driver than Gen 4?

    Fully agreed that making a call on what is and what is not a suitable daily driver is a very subjective decision, this is why I am having a difficult time doing it. I know plenty of people who think using a vette for DD is nuts as well even though I have no issue with it whatsoever. I think...

    Is Gen 5 more suitable as a daily driver than Gen 4?

    LOL, maybe a bit too harsh calling Rossion looks POS?:D Even though I think Viper looks better, I do not want to catch myself looking more at the car than driving it, like I am experiencing with my Gen 4.

    Is Gen 5 more suitable as a daily driver than Gen 4?

    You are right on the money with Gen 4:2tu: I really need to make arrangements with a local dealer to let me sit in the new car.

    Viper t/a #21 now on ground at fremont cdjr

    This is very classy of you, very impressive. I will call the dealer in Roseville and find out if they let me sit in the Viper before going there. Is that dealer actually SRT certified? I would be very surprised if this was the case. I stopped by there once, twenty years ago, LOL...

    Is Gen 5 more suitable as a daily driver than Gen 4?

    I meant like in me not making a big deal out of what I drive. Although between Rossion and Viper, attention wise, I am not sure. As far as spectacles go, you can get it in a Corvette as well. Since you still cannot take it with you, may as well make the best out of the time you got left, LOL...

    Viper t/a #21 now on ground at fremont cdjr

    Considering I just lost a windshield on my Mini driving to Bay Area a couple of weeks ago, I would probably have to get a rental (cheaper than having anything happen to my Viper or Vette), if there is someone closer, that would be great. Very hard to shop for a car without knowing how it will...

    Is Gen 5 more suitable as a daily driver than Gen 4?

    So what does that mean actually? Forget about the second Viper and just find a Rossion?

    Is Gen 5 more suitable as a daily driver than Gen 4?

    I kinda know how this part goes and how to avoid it by filling up on very very early Saturday or Sunday mornings only:smirk: Nevertheless, my only concern is with me and my ability to live with the car and drive it with ease while having a bit of fun after the usual nauseating day in the...

    Is Gen 5 more suitable as a daily driver than Gen 4?

    I am pretty sure that here, in California, you cannot bring in a used car with less than 7500 miles unless it is specifically certified as California emissions compliant. The same goes for motorcycles. I do not know for sure but seriously doubt that Rossion carries a California certification...

    Is Gen 5 more suitable as a daily driver than Gen 4?

    I think this is only with regards to the newest generation. I took mine in under warranty to a local Chrysler dealer and they had no problem looking at the car at all. But yes, this is something to consider for sure. Although in the greater scheme of things, I would be having the same luck...

    Is Gen 5 more suitable as a daily driver than Gen 4?

    LOL about corvetteforum:D I am not looking for a cushy ride or a cream puff, my vette has Z51 suspension and 285/30/19 and 325/25/20 set up and I like it that way. The problem when I drive my Gen 4 is that I really cannot see to the rear, with the top down or up because of the rear bulkhead...
