    Ferrari F430, Lambo LP640, SRT-10? Who wins?

    So I hear ;) Hope all is well! I haven't forgotten my promise of taking "real" photos of the car with the new wheels. As soon as they're on, I'm sending 'em your way!

    Ferrari F430, Lambo LP640, SRT-10? Who wins?

    Thanks! Dude, I am still waiting to put on the VOI wheels! Can you believe it? Winter stalled everything, I finally got tires, I finally found a shop that could balance the tires and the rims, and last of all I got some open ended nuts so that I could mount the wheels on the long studs! I...

    Ferrari F430, Lambo LP640, SRT-10? Who wins?

    My bad! Indeed an F360! Thanks! Can't say enough good things about the SS. It completely changes the look of the car. The photographer used a fisheye lens. The SS is as wide as the LP-640. I honestly didn't think I stood a chance against the Lambo, but goes to show how people like Vipers!

    Ferrari F430, Lambo LP640, SRT-10? Who wins?

    The SRT-10 of course! Was sort of suckered into showing up to a car show (favor for a friend), a little while ago, which turned out to have a competition going on.. Long story short, I left with a trophy for.. "Best Exotic Car, 1st Place" !!! :D:D:D Suddenly the show became a lot more fun...

    FFFFF TTT!!!! Sound

    I know the subject sounds funny, but that's a sound my '05 has started making when it's cold (when the car is cold, not the weather, it's about 100 around here these days!)... I'll start up the car and it'll do its usual angry/rough idle viper thing and occasionally it will go FFFFFTT then idle...

    Viper meets curb...almost....

    If I hadn't read all the comments, I would have thought that the driver did that on purpose.. What the heck would you have to do to make the car pull a 180 like that? He kind of goes right before going left and spinning. Is that because as he was countering the impending spin that pointed his...

    First Twin Turbo Gen IV

    Awesome stuff guys! Congrats! To answer a quick comment about the MoTeC, it can be used as a standalone ECU, however you can also use it as a piggyback, or simply have it take over some controls from the factory ECU such as fuel and ignition. On cars where the factory has spent thousands...

    Viper Pics with new SLR

    Nice pics (and car :) ) Fellow D90 owner here too. I love that camera, picked it up in Tokyo earlier this year and I must have tried every SLR sold in Japan. Best value for money, great weight & feel, nice resolution, features, screen etc.. You'll be amazed when you take it to a race. Set it on...

    added some fangs to the vert

    I like it! Especially since the vert is missing the fangs brake light! Where did you get the inside badge you used? Looks pretty good quality

    Chrysler says it got no offers for Viper plant

    Steve, that's what I'd like to know. Anyone have access to the 10k document?

    Chrysler says it got no offers for Viper plant

    That's what I'm talking about; and I'm serious too. I swear, once I found out the price, I have been talking to people about the possibility of raising cash. It's still a really, really long shot, but I do like the idea of being part of something I'm passionate about.

    Chrysler says it got no offers for Viper plant

    Good point. That does have to be factored in too.

    Chrysler says it got no offers for Viper plant

    When we visited the plant last time, there were about 50 employees at the plant.. how hard could it be to have non-unionized employees? You can start off by guaranteeing salaries and no redundancies for 2 years (except for non-performing employees of course). The employee cost, in my...

    Chrysler says it got no offers for Viper plant

    Agreed, some accounting documents would be great if we could get our hands on them :). I would assume they have pretty accurate figures for costs per unit based on production tiers. True, although relatively speaking a Viper is very affordable compared to a Lambo or a Ferrari (from a...

    Chrysler says it got no offers for Viper plant

    So I have just read a lot of the posts I could find about bids etc.. There's a lot of to and fro on what is actually going for $10M. In order to clarify, an e-mail has been sent to Cerberus. Hope they reply. Assuming it's the Viper brand (and intellectual property) with the lease of the...

    OS Giken Differential in Viper

    Forgive my ignorance, but how is a locking diff better on the street, or is it going to be used for Drag racing / Drifting/ Track or simply for Street use and a bit of track/strip etc..? Clutch based diffs when set up aggressively will lock up all the time, make really loud clicking noises and...

    Thanks Andy! I love how you take the time to respond :) I am miles away from this kind of photography :D And once again, awesome photos!

    OS Giken Differential in Viper

    OS Giken make a diff for the Viper????? Is it meant for something else? I assume it's clutch based and not a Mechanical/Torsen diff? I ran an OS Giken Triple Plate Clutch in my R33 GT-R at over 800hp, it never complained a peep.. They make some of the best Japanese parts for sure. Is it 1.5...

    Some Insane Rolling Shots!

    Thanks for the lengthy explanation :2tu: I really appreciate you taking the effort to answer :) Just a few more Qs, if you don't mind :confused::confused: So where would you attach the suction cups (perhaps you can email me an unedited photo?).. Does it really hold the weight of a camera...

    Some Insane Rolling Shots!

    Nice photos! If you're ever bored in my part of the world, you're more than welcome :) :D So for us truly amateur photographers, how do you take a photo like that with a blurred background, is it with Shutter priority?

    2008 oil change...FYI...

    Don't know if it helps, but the White Viper Branded Mopar Filter I just used on my '05 had the same "problem". In fact, I had a few more new ones, and so did they.. So, far no leaks though..

    Window is roling up too much

    Cool, thanks! :2tu:

    Window is roling up too much

    Not sure if this is useful info, but I noticed that the mechanism that dips the window really quickly as you close the door, sometimes gets caught out.. The really loud noise is the glass not closing properly (ouch).. Anyone else notice this?

    SRT-10's handling feels weird.. is this normal?

    Holy smokes! I travel for a day and all these replies, sweet! Thanks guys and gals :) The run flats are definitely on their way out. I hope I'll see a difference with the HRE/Pirelli setup (I know, they're no Nike Air Maxs), but it's what I currently have, and by the sounds of it will make...

    SRT-10's handling feels weird.. is this normal?

    Oops, forgot to mention that! 2005 SRT-10, Stock wheels, run-flats, about 1-2 years (max) old, they came with the car, they have plenty of tread etc.. and grip quite decently, though are crap on sharp bumps. I have a set of Pirellis that will go on there as soon as I can get them mounted to my...
