I washed my car late today and pulled in in the garage under the lights to dry it off. Under the lights, it looked like small metal flakes under the clear that I have never seen before. Does anybody know if there is metal flakes in the black?
Mine is doing the same thing. I actually posted a thread on the Heilberg thread. It must be common to the 08's. I have not had any issues yet with it and hope none of us does. :2tu:
After my first 100 miles, I can tell that the lower body behind the wheels is vulnerable to rock chips. I am wondering whether to try to buy some 3M clear bra material and cut it to fit the area or try to make some small mud flaps :omg:. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I checked on an FE they have and they were very nice to deal with and worked with me on trades the best they could. I actually ran across something else unexpectedly on the road this week and hope to get it delivered tomorrow.
:D I was fortunate enough to drive an 08 coupe recently. It was very nice. I did not get into hard it since it was new, but you could feel the power. It was fairly smooth. I did notice a couple of clunks in the drive line and it seemed the syncronizer scraped going into 2nd gear when it was...
I really enjoyed VIR this weekend. My wife pointed out Ralph's ACR and how fast it was. She was taking pictures and was having problems getting it unless it was coming toward us because it was so fast. She was able to get a few pictures which I have posted in my photo gallery. Look for VIR July...
Private equity comes in, tries to turn a buck and burns the house down in the process. It will be interesting to see where Chrysler is in 5 years if it survives. Chuck always gave me good advice on Vipers and any other Chrysler product that I was interested in buying even if it was not coming...
That sounds like some good prices. I agree that prices are down across the board in general. I plan to try to go to Bernie's in a couple of weeks to check out his stock. I was there before and his stock was nice at the time and I am sure he is still the same way. I am really particular and don't...
I sold my 96 B/W last October with the intent of getting a new 08. I got frustrated waiting on confimation of my order and bought a new Vette as a fluke, but I am growing to like it. It runs hard and is a good DD, even though it sits in the garage. I knew I would be getting another Viper and my...
With all the rumors of the demise of the Viper, I am wondering about parts availability if it is in fact axed. An insurance agent once told me that manufacturers are required to make X amount of parts for cars produced. Is it possible that they would also sell the parts left over to a supply...
As hard I hate to say this, I would not go over $37K because from a high level, this car has had a rough life that you would not expect to see on something like a 96 B/W.
Other than concern for good people like Tators which is a great asset to the Viper community, my other concern is for dealer support for Vipers when all this plan comes to fruition.
First of all, I would make sure that my flagship car, the Viper, was supported by each and every Dodge dealer, service wise. I have gone through 2 Vipers so far and it is a pain in the ass to get them serviced. Even the original selling dealer of my last Viper refused to change the oil because...
A B/W is a piece of Americana, a modern day Cobra. An earlier reference to $40K is way out of line of what the real numbers are. How do I know? I had one for sale with 11,500 miles priced at $54,900 and had strong interest from all over the country. It was sold in 3 weeks real close to asking...
If you look at companies like Cerberus, they are takeover companies that get a company healthy enough to sell it and make the few equity owners of the company ultra rich in the process. Bottom lines are all that matter to them. I am not privy to their balance sheet, but it makes me wonder if the...
I cancelled mine today. I guess you can say that even though I never got confirmation of the order in the first place. I got tired of the wait for the confirmation and the other unknowns. I am currently looking for something else.
Anybody know any concrete info on 08 deliveries. Another thread mentioned something about problems that SRT has found. Anybody know anything about that?
