Dodge better pick up the hp.
Dear Chicken Little: The sky is not, I repeat NOT falling. I fully expect the Vette and Mustang to get a healthy dose of vitamin hp. The Vette is a great car and a great bargain. I've owned several of them. However, I don't think that even a 600 hp Vette would put much of a dent in the...- dirk989

Dodge better pick up the hp.
I also heard those rumors. I know a guy who knows a guy who has an uncle who runs GM and works for NASA part-time. The next Z06 is going to be powered by a wood-burning furnace mounted on a small pull-type trailer. The trailer has Z rated run flats and is extremely aerodynamic. It will not...- dirk989

Viper envy... I love it
As I said, the newer Fcars and Lambos use far more expensive materials. They have thick handstitched leather while we have molded plastic. I don't deny that. The difference in sticker prices allow that. My point is that the SRT-10 is put together really well. The parts may not be as pretty...- dirk989

SRT on BBC Top Gear
I feel so much dumber for having endured this entire thread. 9 brain surgeons arguing with a mentally challenged child will certainly win the argument. However, the child will not know that. The brain surgeons will never be able to convince the child that he has lost. Autostream = child Viper...- dirk989

Viper envy... I love it
Just a couple of points here for Mopar426 and vipersrt10, I read your comments and have to respond. I have owned and driven many other exotics. vipersrt10 says that the Viper isn't as well made as a Lambo or Ferrari. The SRT-10 is certainly much better made than either the Countach or 328...- dirk989

Viper envy... I love it
"yet viper owners only praise better cars than the viper, ie the exotics " I'm hard pressed to know what those better cars might be. Seriously, I've owned and driven Ferrari's, Lotus', and other 'exotics.' When I got the srt-10 I didn't have very high expectations. I thought I'd enjoy the...- dirk989

An SRT for $59K
Craig: What do you drive? I know that you don't own a Viper, you claim to be a student, and you continuously attempt to insult other people. Tell us about your fine ride. Obviously if you are attempting to insult cars driven by others on a forum devoted to that car, you must own and drive...- dirk989

Would you let a 16 year old drive your viper?
Hmmmm. What would make me say yes to letting a 16 year old drive my 04 SRT-10? I guess it is time for the overused literary device, the dreaded 'Top Ten' list. 10. If I had been surepticiously drugged and had absolutely no grasp on reality; 9. If the 16 year old handed me clear title to 2...- dirk989

Test Driving vs Owning a Viper
Craig: "the srt-10 just isn't a good a car as the others. Deal with it" Interesting take, particularly the reference to guda. I've only just been able to take delivery of my srt-10 and drive it this past weekend. I didn't realize that it wasn't "a good a" car. Nor did I realize that cheese...- dirk989

SRT vs Ford GT
OK just thought I'd put my 2 cents in here. As the proud new owner of an ugly SRT-10, my tastes are different. I happen to like the style of the gen III better than I or II. I do not think the SRT-10 looks like anything else and I think the more subtle exotic style is beautiful. I'm sure...- dirk989

VCA SRT 1 of 1 - Part II ! (interior pics)
Can the stock center console be removed and then painted? I just bought my SRT, its an 04, and it is having a blemish repaired so I don't have it to look at. If that console can be removed without much effort then I'm thinking painting it red to match my exterior. (Of course, all of the MGW...- dirk989

SRT vs Ford GT
The first test used a car that was supposed to be the same as the production car. I think the bump up in hp was a direct result of some of these comparos. I also don't doubt that the one used in the most recent tests has probably been massaged a little bit. I don't disagree with your estimate...- dirk989

SRT vs Ford GT
Viper D: I've had a copy of that motor trend article that I've carried around for quite awhile. The facts and opinions in that one are a little different than some of the opinions stated by others on here. In that test, the SRT-10 lagged behind the GT a tiny bit all the way up to 1/4 mile...- dirk989
