    Matte Gray SRT

    that looks ridiculous. the matte black phenomenon does nothing for me. I never thought I'd see a day where people are "wrapping" and spray painting their vipers with a coating used for tool handles (plastidip). I'd leave it for the 17-18 year olds with honda civics to mess with. :D

    May consider trading my '08 Coupe for low mile Final Edition ACR

    I hear ya. I've been full circle 2 times now. Owned 3 GTS's in a row, then went to a VOI9 GenIII, then to an 01' bumble bee, and a B&W GTS after that. Now, I currently have a 08 Venom Red with Silver stripes (which is without question the best "car" of the bunch.) However, The GenII personality...

    Looking for more info on VOI9 Viper

    I remember I nearly purchased a VOI9 with H-wheels, aero package, AND the performance engine. Cant remember what # it was. But it was brand new on the floor at the time (mid-2007'ish), and the selling dealer claimed it to be 1 of 1. I ended up buying #31 which was such a killer car.... Miss...

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    yeah. when I called 3 weeks ago with my VIN#, my dealer (Arrigo) said they could have them for me next morning (so apparently the stock of units has not been pulled).. BUT.. what you will receive is the old part number(s). The new one does not have a part number assigned t it yet (or thats my...

    2009 ACR clutch service life

    WTB: Gen IV Coupe

    very hard to find a sub-10k mile, high quality (no paintwork/no accidents), striped, GenIV these days, for under 70k. Chicago Motor buys every single one up. And then it seems they dont stay there long, either.

    Any experience out there selling a high mileage viper?

    So your selling a 2001 Viper with 113k miles on it, because you "never use it"??? agree, take the mods off. They are not worth $1 to a car like this.

    Does ADDING stripes hurt the value?

    yes it absolutely does hurt the value...when you say "matches what Im looking for" you mean price? . Since stripes seems to be what your "really" looking for. :) My view is.. either you pay a little above market today to get the perfect color combo car, or you by it below market, and sell it...

    08 blue vert on ebay.

    Most likely a typo. But the value will be effected, permanently. Unless this can be revised.. Hence the reason its priced the way it is. Carfax and Autocheck reporting have changed the car market. Typo or not... When somehting is on those reports, it creates a problem selling the car, due to the...

    MotorWeek Picks Viper as 2013 Best Dream Machine

    Yeah, the show is slow for sure, I'll give you that. But keep in mind, they don't have a "Top Gear" budget to work with, either. It's a raw and technical show. I really enjoy motorweek. These guys have been around a LONG time, and there was nothing like it for many years. Pre-internet,DVR,etc...

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    add me to the list. My wife went to shut the door on my 3000 mile 08' this weekend (thankfully not hard) and the glass actually hit the roof. Didnt leave a mark. I'm guessing the smart glass feature got stuck in the "full up" postion or something. Its shutting ok now. Once I went to roll the...

    Pair of New '92's for $140K

    Probably paid $100k each for those. ($200k). Collector Insurance for 21 years, assuming stated value (roughly $15k-$20k), 1 year oil changes, and 5 year full fluid changes (if done), $5k, and to top it off. Loss of investment of capital for 21 years, which is impossible to determine. But even if...

    Head Scratcher ... Dodge Can't Help ... Drive Cycle Readiness. Help?

    XRusty, maybe a dumb question. But, did you check your cigarette lighter fuse? I had a 2006 Coupe that failed NJ inspection for this exact reason. And it was a blown fuse that would not power the OBD connecton, which is linked to your cig lighter. just a thought.

    Does anyone know SSG SE ACR #16 of 30?

    I dont think so. Left over, bottom of the barrel color 2009's were sold at those prices, by one or two dealers. SE 2010's were never sold new in that range. I knew this car would sell quick, and feel bad the seller had to deal with this thread. It will be a LONG time before another SE comes on...

    Sold my Supercharged 03 SRT10 and bought a 97 GTS...(pics)

    I Completely understand.. I've been full circle several times., between several Gen2 GTS's, to a 2006 VOI, back to (2) Gen 2's, and now have a Gen 4 Coupe. If I could go back, I probably would have kept my Bumble Bee GTS, or my BW GTS. To me, those 2 cars are just the most sexy car I've ever...

    Looking at a 2003 Viper tomorrow...what to look out for?

    I dont understand salvage cars. You buy it cheap, you have to sell it cheap. Plus, it usually costs a fortune to sort it out. And maybe its just me, but I can always "tell" a salvage car. Hard to describe, but when ever I see a salavge car, there is always at least one or two body panels, poor...

    Gen 5 spotted!

    Absolutely agree. In that pic, the ACR steals the show, for sure.

    Thinking about a used lambo

    A Gallardo is an Audi.....aside from fluid changes and the normal stuff. The horror stories are mainly from the older Lambos (which WERE nightmare cars) Coutach, Gen1 Diablos. And peoples perception from those stories have carried on.. The biggest thing would be the clutch interval.... But its...

    Shopping Experience

    If you are trying to piss away the most money, in the shortest amount of time. Then, yes. That would be the way to go. :D Why not a Murci? You can get into a 04-05 Murci, for Ford GT money... If protecting your principal is a consideration. Go with the GT... Lambos and Ferraris will cost you...
