    Next VCA Raffle, 1st Gen V off the line?

    I think this next car is one of the Ring cars or a clone of one from Tomball... After that, yeah an early Gen V

    What a day to hit the red button

    Got back to 60 today with a nasty weekend coming. This time the Red Button worked! :drive: Probably the last time for a few months. I actually can't believe I got a chance to get it out in mid January.

    What a day to hit the red button

    Went to hit the red button, but the doors wouldn't open.... :( I guess I waited too long and didn't get the trickle charger plugged in. Probably ran it last on the 23rd. :nono:

    Potential new owner - 2008 SRT10 Coupe

    Here are a few items off the top of my head, though not specific to '08 With the windows all the way up, they automatically move down about 1/2" when opening the door. When closing they move back up. The window regulators can fail and not properly lower the window. This will cause the glass...

    Gen V and Pirelli

    This is the part that is starting to piss me off, if true... and it is hard to see it any other way. I'm a loyal Michelin guy and I'm being penalized by Michelin on this one. :peod:

    2013 Gen5 Speculation... What We Know... What We Think ?

    I think the Gen V transmissions that were available are telling... Better 5th and 6th gearing. So I'm thinking direct injection is all but guaranteed. (Better fuel economy, thus the ability to lower the over drive gearing) Gen 4s were used a mules, so the core is probably very similar. V10...

    2008 or gen 4 coupe prices

    I'm not seeing any 08 Vipers all that cheap no matter what the mileage. Higher ones (above 10,000 miles) are dipping into the upper 50's Gotta ignore the salvage ones the lower the average...

    Need help deciding on a lift

    Add me to the happy DirectLift crew. Got mine in April and set it up by myself. Not an easy solo DIY, but a tractor with forks made it possible. It really is fairly easy to set up and adjust, the only issue is the weight of the one runner, which is probably a 4 person lift. Eh, hire it out.

    I'll bet this kid never gets bored

    Yeah, but he doesn't have a Viper. :2tu:

    What's an 08 Viper with 48,000 miles worth?

    Who got more for their money? OP who has taken a depreciation hit or say someone with a primo '08 with 2,000 miles? By my calculations the OP paid about $1.50 per mile driven when you consider insurance, property tax, depreciation, fuel, tire, oil. That Primo Viper owner? Probably paid $18 a...

    Looking to buy in Virginia...can someone take a quick look for a fellow Viper owner?

    Re: Looking to buy in Virginia...can someone take a quick look for a fellow Viper own Agreed! Great job. I learned a lot just reading the report.

    Vipers don't suck and here's why

    Or 512 cubic inches of pissed-off American horsepower. :D

    Western Maryland Fall Cruise this Sunday, November 6th, 2011

    What's the road salt situation like on our route? Hate to say it, but I'm not too excited about what I'm seeing around here. :(

    Who got snow?

    We got about 5", though it looks like it will all be melted by tomorrow afternoon. They didn't kill the roads with salt, but did use it. Actually the worst was some of the parking lots.

    No Front Plate in Nebraska

    I plan to avoid that panic call to JonB for as long as possible! :nono: I live close enough to WV (no front plate state) that I think the cops don't pay much attention to it here. They could have written at least 50 tickets at the last cars and coffee.

    3rd Annual Snakes-Under-A-Plane Meet - 10/29 Dover, DE

    So VDOT pretreated the roads today in Loudoun County, mostly the hills and bridges, but they all have a nice coating of salt now :( That's cutting off about 6-8 weeks of my planned driving season unless that crap washes off. I've had vehicles destroyed by road salt and I'm not going to let...

    Viper engine details released.

    5 cylinder mode does not make sense to me. Wouldn't it be some variation of 4-6-8-10?

    If the new Viper gets a seven-speed manual transmission ...

    Ain't that the truth. I skip over gears all the time. :omg: Sometimes intentionally!

    Reliable shipping company? (Enclosed)

    I'll also recommend Passport. While not perfect in communication before pickup, my driver was a pro and the tracking system was really nice. Finally, the price was reasonable and there is a VCA discount! (paid for this year's membership)

    oil change questions

    Define storage... I'm thinking it is unlikely my 08 will hit the main streets from the first snow until the last plus a few good salt removing rain storms. If a typical winter, I would assume from late December until April. 3 full months plus. However, I'm sure I'll run it up and down...

    I'm Addicted to my Viper...

    I think I'm bitten too... I almost drove it to pick up a pizza tonight. Frankly, I can't understand why I didn't. The other problem I seem to have is thinking way too much about mods and upgrades. Wheels, paint, gears are all whirling through my head.

    Hit Deer on way home from local car show - need advice

    That actually looks fairly minor for a deer hit. Glad everyone is ok! I had one of those buggers hit a 2001 Insight I used to drive. The thing nearly knocked me off the road and kept on going. Insight needed $2500 in repairs. Good Luck.

    Posted my 08 coupe in the classifieds....

    Good luck with the sale. Looks like a nicely modded '08 BTW, really like the video attached to the ad! Used it to show my wife how a Viper is supposed to be driven. Though it appears she is also complaining about your driving too.... :drive:
