    New Z06 will be no fun

    I believe the Z06 comes with 3.42 rear gears. So you guessed just about right on that one.

    Yea or nay vote for the new viper coupe

    No on performance. Bill, I hope you are right that there is a horsepower increase coming. When that happens, I'll revisit getting one of the new coupes. But I can't stand the idea of getting a Viper that will be outshined by a Corvette.

    Here is the New Coupe----any GTS Owners Considering Trading In?

    No coupe for me. I could have grown to like the looks of it, but with no performance enhancements to beat the new Z06, what's the point of getting the Viper? I will probably end up getting one of the new Z06's.

    Coupe Press Release

    I thought "curb weight" by definition excluded passengers ... ? What a disappointment this press release is. Looks like no Viper coupe in my future.

    What Daimler-Chryster Owes Me

    Re: What Daimler-Chryster Owes Itself I think what I may do is find an SRT-10 lease that I can take over for a year and wait to see what happens for the following year. If there's been a HP increase (or whatever) in the Viper, I can get a new one at that time, and if there hasn't, I can find a...

    What Daimler-Chryster Owes Me

    Re: What Daimler-Chryster Owes Itself Alice, I think you're right that if that article is correct, it won't be satisfactory to most of us. I know it won't be to me. But at least I'll know that a 2006 Viper coupe is not in my future, and I can make an informed decision about what to do next...

    What Daimler-Chryster Owes Me

    Re: What Daimler-Chryster Owes Itself Alice, I think you make your point very articulately. However, I don't view this issue as what DC owes anyone arising from their current ownership of a Viper. Each of us made the decision to get a Viper over some other alternative. I was happy with that...

    I think DC will step up to the plate!!

    I REALLY hope you're right, and I am still holding out hope for when the car is unveiled later this month.

    MOTOR TREND ARTICLE NEW COUPE

    If they both have 500hp and one of them weighs 300lbs less, will the performance be "equal"?!

    MOTOR TREND ARTICLE NEW COUPE

    Snakesster is right. The whole point of building a Viper is not just to sell the 2000 cars they make a year, or whatever it is. You build the Viper as a marquee to bring attention and respect to the brand. The Viper filled that role perfectly when it had BOTH the great looks and superior...

    MOTOR TREND ARTICLE NEW COUPE

    I will have a very hard time justifying getting one of these unless the horsepower is increased to beat the new Z06. I am not thrilled with the idea of going back to a Z06, but I feel like I may be forced into it by DC's failure to retain its status as "king of the hill." I have my fingers...

    New GTS owner...Atlanta area Viper Tech/Shop/Dealer?

    Regrettably, JD Farmer is no longer at Marietta Dodge. He is now working at a BMW dealership, but for warranty work that won't do for you. With JD gone from Marietta Dodge, I am not aware of anyone with equal skill and reputation in Atlanta. The next time I need my car worked on, I am...

    SCCA Solo II Autocross

    I think the Viper is a great autocross car. I am convinced I am faster in it than I was in my Z06.

    SCCA Solo II Autocross

    I have been autocrossing my Viper for 2 years now. I use 34psi in the front and 32psi in the rear with the stock Michelins. Have a great time!

    Who is driving their Viper today

    Every day, rain or shine. I have a great parking place -- covered, in a corner, etc. I can't imagine driving anything else!

    Has Anyone's Gas Light In Their Car Ever Come On?

    Re: Has Anyone\'s Gas Light In Their Car Ever Come On? I am confident there is no low fuel warning light, as I did actually run out of gas once! I have never seen a low fuel light on my car, then or any other time.

    Congratulations to Tom Wiekart (sp?) at Road Atlanta

    Yes, congrats to Tom and the whole Carsport America team. I hope they repeat their podium finish at Laguna!

    Vette for a Viper

    01 Black Z06. I bought one of the very first Z06's produced and loved it -- excellent track and autocross car. But my 02 GTS out-does it in every way!

    Pics of my new GTS....

    From another former Z06 owner -- congratulations! You are going to love it.

    Vinyl Numbers for Track?

    I have used Solotime reuseable vinyl numbers for the track and they come right off with no problems. I spray the area with mother's detailing spray beforehand just to make sure. I ordered mine from Solo Performance. (www.soloperformance.com). My understanding is that the static cling ones...

    Accident at Viper Days, need insurance help!

    Sure, if you don't mind exposing yourself to being prosecuted for insurance fraud.

    Recommendation for Atlanta area Paint & Body Shop

    I would recommend Collision Pro in Woodstock. They aren't very fast, but they specialize in high-end cars and they are very good.

    Tommy Archer wins Portland!

    I think I saw over on world-challenge.com that Giglotti got a penalty for rough driving. I assume that will include the contact with Bob. Also, the race is on TV next weekend on SPEED.
