    Newbie Looking For Viper

    Nice choice on your first Viper! With the markets the way they are right now (stock, real estate, cars) you can probably find a killer deal on an ACR. That would probably be the best money spent on a 01/02 GTS. Good luck with your search!

    3.33's did not make my car faster...

    DrDJ, No, he states an otherwise "identical car". So, yes, put sticky tires and a shorter gear in your E430 and it will blow the doors off another E430 is the argument. Apples to apples. The gear debate seems to always bring about very strong opinions on both side of the fence. However, I find...

    3.33's did not make my car faster...

    Well, I don't consider myself a great driver, but I'd like to think I'm at least good. I tried launching from idle, 2k rpm, 2.5k and 3k. Rolling on the throttle, smashing the throttle, feathering the throttle. The rears just broke lose again and again. It really made me appreciate rear...

    3.33's did not make my car faster...

    ...from a standing start anyway. Shorter gears are a never ending controversy on this board. I decided to bite the bullet and install 3.33's. I ran 0-60, 80, etc. pre-gears and post gears as tested with a Gtech. Net result is that my times didn't improve at all. More info: I honestly believe...

    Viper ACR - Autoweek August 27, 2007

    Actual headline, at the top of the current issue, says: "First Looks: Viper ACR & Aston Martin DBS" About 1/3 page on the new DBS with an estimated sticker of $265k (ouch). I also checked the Autoweek website, nothing.

    AFX 1:64 Vipers - slot cars

    I've tried to stay away from the slot cars but finally broke down and bought the following on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290148847483&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=019 I figured that if I could add eight new cars to my collection for reasonable $$, why not?

    New 1:64 Viper SRT/10 Malibu International Die Cast

    Nice. I was at Walmart 2 nights ago and saw the display for these. No Viper's or course. I did pick up a red Murcielago. I wasn't sure, until now, if this series included a Viper. Obviously, it does!

    Viper ACR - Autoweek August 27, 2007

    Re: AutoWeek on cover says Viper ACR... Received my AutoWeek today with the "Viper ACR" headline. Definitely nothing in this issue. BTW, when can the press start talking about the 08 Viper (embargo)? I have found it odd that cars will be delivered soon and there has been very little to no...

    Another new Hot Wheels to watch for

    I've found the HW Classics series to be rather elusive in my area. I've looked through countless racks of Classics and thus far, never seen a Viper. Tons of other cars but no Vipers. ViperCollector, I'll send you a pm later this morning. I'm interested in the red classic you have and a few...

    Wolfgang Bernhard has left the building

    Here's my take: Wolfgang was offered the job that Nardelli took. Wolfgang declined it but will provide car guy advice as vice chairman. LaSorda will continue with future vision, product direction, etc. As stated in the news, the COO position of Eric Ridenour will not be replaced, that's...

    Total RT/10 Production

    Good info Jon! Actually, you are the perfect person to shed some light on this subject. Let's say 15% or 1,500 is correct. 1,500 "totaled" RT/10's, GEN I & II's. Of that number, how many are still on the road? Given your business, you probably have more insight into this than most. I know of a...

    Total RT/10 Production

    The RT/10 is what started it all. It was the concept car, it was the first production Viper ever in 1992. According to the Viper Registry, 10,013 RT/10's were produced, worldwide, ever. Anyone care to guess how many have been totaled beyond repair? Certainly cars out there driving around with...

    Is my price right?????

    IMO, 34k is MORE than fair. Pix look great. As stated, market for "toy" cars is soft right now. Real estate is down, and as of late, so is the stock market. In a reasonable market, I think you could get your original number. If you can, I'd hold out for the extra $$. Only takes one buyer...

    New 1 Badd Ride & Blown Ride 1:64 Stars & Stripes Vipers

    ViperCollector, How do you know that? Just curious. Are there multiple versions of other cars in the case with the Viper's being issued at a lower volume?

    New 1 Badd Ride & Blown Ride 1:64 Stars & Stripes Vipers

    Chad, I'll keep my eyes open. When I first saw the 2nd one on the rack I thought is was the same (and still would have bought it). Upon closer inspection, I realized they are very different. If I come across any more, I'll pick them up for my doubles pile. If anyone on here wants them...

    Colored Seat Stitching

    Over the last year or so I've seen a yellow Ferrari and a yellow 911 with black interior and yellow stitching along the edging of the seats. Looked very cool. Had a classy look without being over the top. Anyone done this in a Viper? Any color. I'm considering buying a second set of stock...
