    OK, the part about it being a "truck engine". True or false?

    chrysler buy outs

    Here's my not even semi-informed counter speculation based on what I've read about the UAW contract and from the tour of CAAP. The CAAP employees are on average much longer term (higher cost) than rank and file at Chrysler. The guys we talked to had been there for a long time, all 10+ yrs and...

    custom colors

    Per our tour guide at Prefix during the Detroit Dream weekend: the raised stripes are mandated by Dodge as a cost savings, when Prefix does custom work, they do additional clear coat to bury the stripes in the finish and do not even offer raised stripes as an option. They don't want any of...

    Bloomberg.com - "Flies Like Bat out of Hell"

    My thoughts exactly. Maybe he realy meant he had his left foot on the clutch..., or maybe he was just making that whole bit up because he thought it would sound good to the masses.

    Motor City Dream Weekend

    Thanks to Alex and Gary and who ever else was involved with the logistics. It was my first VVA event outside my home region and it was a blast. My biggest disappointment of the whole trip was that CAAP didn't provide any freebies as momentos of our visit. I lobbied for crate motor give aways...

    Opinions on this colour of SRT-10

    IMO, that color combo is too reserved for a Viper.

    My 08 Viper SSG is in "JB" Status??

    Too bad you didn't ask this question last week. The Dream Team could have searched Prefix for your car and sent you pix.

    SSG can not be ordered but.......

    When I saw the color chips, even the photos of finished cars, I thought the SSG was not only ugly, but a very dumb idea. Who wants a lime green car? On the Detroit Dream weekend, I saw lots of "lime green" both at Conner Avenue and at Prefix. WOW! It's great. Black stripes make it even...

    Insurance Quote

    If you're in the military, call USAA 800-531-8111. They only insure military, are run 100% by military retirees, and they take care of us well. I've been with them since 1982 - best insurance company in the biz. I have 2 vehicles besides the 2 Vipers, a 2000 Jetta and a 2005 Toyota Van...

    Thanks for getting this set up. I'm looking forward to it. Speaking of comfy shoes, what's the dress code? Jeans, dockers, something better?

    2008 Detroit Dream Weekend is Announced!!!

    Sorry Big-N, I don't think our schedules sync. I get to DTW a little before 0800. Renting a crappy car and heading to Greektown Casino for a few hours of poker prior to heading to the hotel. If anyone wants to tag along, I would love the company.

    Winter 2008 Viper Magazine

    Can you point me to someone who sets up this race and the charitable activity? Not with the intent to hit up VCA members for more donations, but I would love to do something similar for the USN families.

    Winter 2008 Viper Magazine

    I'll reserve any debate on the politics until after I've read the article. I suspect the article will aggravate my Libertarian views, but Viper Mag didn't confiscate the car. I may hate that article, but what I object to is your blanket assertion that the magazine is "mostly fluff". I...

    Winter 2008 Viper Magazine

    I haven't read that article yet. I was aware of the DARE Viper only because a pic appeared on the back page of AutoWeek. Sounds like a great topic for Viper Mag to cover and I look forward to reading it. If your argument is a political one because you think cops/judges are wrong to...

    Viper Owner Invitational # 10

    I'm going to the Detroit Dream Weekend so I'll get my chance, but for those that may not otherwise have an opportunity to see Conner Ave, etc, combining some of the Detroit car guy attractions with VOI sounds like a good idea to me. I've never been to a VOI (I'm a Viper noob) so I don't...

    Viper Owner Invitational # 10

    I would love to come out to Vegas, but just as it is hard for west coasters to come east, it is hard for east coasters to come west. Seems to me it would be far better for all to rotate through the east, middle, and west.
