    2008 Viper...Good News/Bad News

    Having owned a GTS and c6z @ the same time, I really, really preferred the GTS, even though the Z had more technology and better performance/handling. Especially after visiting CAAP for a tour, I really appreciate what goes into building a Viper vs. a mass produced car. I don't believe any of...

    what car to buy?

    I'd say he can't go wrong with the Gen 2, regardless if he goes GTS or RT/10 - these cars are so fun to drive (for driver and other traffic), and plenty of performance - good luck on the search.

    Unbelievable power to weight ratio

    Hmmm... (based on Motor Trend article of 3,400 lbs) 1. 2008 Viper: 3,400 lbs / 600 hp = 5.667 lbs/hp 2. Ford GT: 3,400 lbs / 550 hp = 6.182 lbs/hp 3. 2006 z06: 3,130 lbs / 505 hp = 6.198 lbs/hp 4. 2006 Viper: 3,400 lbs / 510 hp = 6.667 lbs/hp How much will this lower 1/4 E.T. compared to...

    How much will it weigh (08' Viper)

    Re: How much will it weigh (08\' Viper) I remember the white/black ASC viper at 06 NAIAS showcasing 610hp with weight reduced CF use throughout car. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see, based on the extensive weight savings it that 'other car' CF hood & fenders, magnesium & balsa wood...

    Will Dodge limit 08 Viper production to pre-orders?

    I don't believe that high prices on 08s will help Dodge demand a premium for unsold 04-06 cars. I believe those prices will remain pressured due to other cars in this category. I guess they could guage demand after the car is introduced @ NAIAS in January to determine price and how to bring to...

    Will Dodge limit 08 Viper production to pre-orders?

    With the # of unsold 04-05-06 Vipers, could Dodge simply limit the car to client orders via dealers? If so, would this help us purchase the car @ MSRP thru the dealer of your choice, as opposed to us fighting over limited dealer allocations? If they would build only the cars we ordered, could...

    ZO...WHO?

    I love 585's comments about potential max HP from this motor. It raises a great point: will Chevy put the new car out to soon after be one-upped by Team Viper? Probably, if they keep production low enough to sell all units, but if Dodge beats them to the punch they could likely reconsider...

    226 MPH

    It seems like you can punch it from 50-100 back down to 50-60 relatively quickly and safely (assuming no traffic or obstacles whatsoever) 150 + just seems like it would take a while to gather yourself if traffic was spotted, or much more dangerous to other motorists, God forbid a blowout. Maybe...

    What is a fair price on this new coupe?

    Viper, Viper, Viper. I just sold my c6z06 (while also owning an 02 GTS). If magazine articles matter to you, get the vet. If driver experience, excitement and feeling like a kid every time you hit the gas and hold on appeals, the Z06 just does not compare to the viper (and that is referencing...

    2008 VIPER SHOWN IN MAGAZINE

    Does anyone else think that the $90k estimate is low? 2 opposing points: with the current sticker @ $90k, this new would have to be more, given 90 more HP and other new features... However, to stay competitive with z06 and the fact many 06 coupes are selling at $10-12k under the sticker...

    Some other 2008 improvements I noticed...

    I agree. Many of us state that we prefer Viper over Z06 (even if less performance) because of exclusivity. Now it appears we'll have both again, with even more exclusivity. Should the SC Vette materialize, who will car about that extra 50 HP (SS), even with less weight? Since when does a 600...

    let me be the first to say - KING OF THE HILL - YEA BABY

    I like the car and the extra-exclusivity being offered (more colors, interior/exterior and stripe options as well as wheel options) mean that all of our cars will be even that MUCH MORE exclusive than they are now.

    226 MPH

    That is incredible, but I just don't understand how/why someone would do that on a public road. Please be careful everyone as we enjoy these badazz machines!!

    Thank you, someone, for updating my signature

    Amen to that! Lesson learned. I just love Viper: the car, the community, the VCA, events, etc.
