    Paddle Shift

    Some of you may have wondered when I was going to chime in on this, since I've beaten this subject many times before. I agree very much with John Baird. The minimalist/purist Viper owners are afraid of "options" for whatever reason. Some even like to make the "pink" claim, which is so...

    Merry Christmas

    The reason for the season doesn't have an X(-mas) and isn't about chicks . . . . but it is about Christ. ps, If you don't like what I say, well I guess that will just be your problem, not mine. God Bless you all (regardless), and Merry Christmas.

    Looks good, but I would love to see it with the CC stripes; seems to flow so perfect with the hood.

    12/05 Car & Driver & Motor Trend........DC Please......Read

    I never said GM knew about the SRT-10 in 2001; I said they probably knew about it in 2001 or at the latest 2002 . . . in my opinion(I could be wrong). Is it possible that Bob Lutz knew about the DC plans of 500/500 back in 1998 before he left the company? January 05, 2005 Lutz Biography...

    12/05 Car & Driver & Motor Trend........DC Please......Read

    Another thing which I think hurts DC, and gives huge leaps and bounds to GM, is the amount of money and research they pour into the Vette racing program. Look at the success GM has in the endurance races such as Le Mans. If DC were involved in a racing program just half of what GM does with the...

    12/05 Car & Driver & Motor Trend........DC Please......Read

    Don, think about it for a second. The Gen 3 Viper has been in existance probably since at least 2001. It's not like DC just waived a magic wand and it appeared in 2003. Have you been watching too much Harry Potter??? Considering that the Gen 3 was being created (at least) 2 or 3 years before it...

    12/05 Car & Driver & Motor Trend........DC Please......Read

    Is it really fair to compare a new generation Vette Z06 with an old generation Viper (so to speak)? Maybe the big shock is that GM took a good while to finally catch up with the Viper, but they did. Now so many are pretty much unfairly trying to compare this newest generation 2006 Vette...

    <font color="blue"> I think it should have read . . . "The Viper has always been a man's car, and when Ernest Hemingway was alive, he always liked big and hairy men".</font> Please tell me that was funny. I'm cracking myself up. :D

    Automatic Tranny...

    Re: Automatic Tranny...or an SMG paddle shift option Now that really shows some serious lack of intelligence and class. It's a shame that some people feel the need to use profanity to help them get through a conversation . . . or is it that the use of profanity makes them feel stronger or...

    Automatic Tranny...

    Re: Automatic Tranny...or an SMG paddle shift option Bitching? That's being surely polite and respectful. What exactly is stfu??? When I say clutchless, I am refering to no floor clutch pedal. Most of the better semi-auto SMG's such as with Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Martin Lamborghini and...

    Automatic Tranny...

    Re: Automatic Tranny...or an SMG paddle shift option Hmmm, Now if DC would offer the Viper with an "optional" (dang it, I said "OPTIONAL" people; don't get your panties all in a wad) clutchless manual paddle shifted sequential gearbox now, instead of 5 years from now (it will happen when the...

    Any SMG's Installed Yet?

    Re: Any SMG\'s Installed Yet? Phoenix, Nice post. It would be nice to see DC offer an SMG package as an option, just as Ferrari, Lamborghini, AM, and the others do. I believe the Enzo only comes with Ferrari's F1 SMG package, but all of the others models have the "option" as to which...

    Any SMG's Installed Yet?

    Re: Any SMG\'s Installed Yet? Yes, I know that SMG letters are BMW's trademarked named version. I just assumed that most here would assimilate the words (letters) SMG with any and all "paddle shifter" type transmissions, since its probably the best known name for that type of system. Well, I...

    Any SMG's Installed Yet?

    Re: Any SMG\'s Installed Yet? Simple question. If you cannot answer the question given, then how about refraining from the bashing. I asked a simple question, which needed no bashing whatsoever. ps, some of the most high performance autos in the world have SMG transmissions, besides a BMW...

    Any SMG's Installed Yet?

    Any SMG\'s Installed Yet? Just wondering if there have been any known SRT-10's to be stripped of shifter stick and clutch pedal for an after-market SMG trans and two well placed steering wheel finger shift handles. Anyone know? scott

    Lambo Doors on a Viper?

    I think it would be tacky to "copy" such a trademarked and branded idea of another manufacturer. Leave those doors to Lamborghini where they are designed with the car to look proper and that design has been a branded piece of [its] history. Note the Gallardo doors are not in the same function as...

    Stainless Exhaust Surrounds - Vendor Name (site)

    Just curious, but could you not remove the piece from the car, take it to a custom metal fabrication shop and have them replicate it exactly how you wanted it? Even in the exact type of metal quality and finish? I have a friend who works for a metal fab shop here in Jax, and I believe they do...

    Speedster Bubbles and Comp Coupe Hood for SRT10

    I kinda like the bubbles, but just not sure completely. Kind of on the bubble you might say (ha-ha, I know that's corny) as to whether I like or not really. They are reminiscent of classic Alfa Romeo's, the Ferrari 250TR and even the modern Ferrari 360 Spyder. The hood is too busy for my...

    Should the Viper ever have Traction control and/ or any other Gadgets?

    Hey Bud, err Pal, err . . . How bout Friend? Thanks Ryck. Like I said, I'm just not perfect, and being a Christian won't make me that way unfortunately. But I didn't mean to come across that way at all. So glad we have cleared up the air. Now, Dude, don't go knocking ole Forest. That's...

    Should the Viper ever have Traction control and/ or any other Gadgets?

    And people also don't need to be publically out to humiliate people (MROB for example) on a car web site either, regardless of what they have done. I don't know if you really are a Christian or not, I would think if you were you would have capitolized the c in Christians and would possibly have...
