    How much notice before SRT arrival?

    Just wondering what kind of warning or notice I can expect before my SRT is actually delivered to the dealer - to have time to get things lined up, etc. I don't want it to be sitting around while I'm squaring away my biznus. Thanks, Daffy.

    SRT re-sale value, is there any $ there?

    Well, I believe I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm not going to bond with my ordered SRT. So, I was wondering if there is any money out there on the re-sale of pristine SRT's. I could simply tell my dealer, nevermind & I know he'll re-sell it instantly. But, is there a market for me to go...

    Best thing about the SRT/10

    I believe the most impressive thing in what I've seen and heard so far about the SRT is the handling. The email I received from DC states performance targets that include 1.15G lateral acceleration. Not that I've researched this, but that's the best I can think of from a production car. Is...

    Why big range on used sales prices

    I've been checking on sales prices for 2000 RT/10's and have found a $12,000+ range in asking prices, as high as high $60's and as low as high 50's. Most of these all have relatively low miles, less than 10K miles, some real low, but not too much difference from car to car, but a huge range in...

    Under-rate HP .. why ?

    I'm not in the car biz and was wondering if anyone knows why a manufacturer would purposely under-rate the factory HP number. It seems common knowledge that the vipers have been under-rated & may continue to be. The new mustang cobra is rumored to be (we'll see), but I assume if a manufacturer...

    Whats next now that confirms are done?

    I'm just wondering, anyone know what comes next after the confirmations? I'm one of those who's still figuring out how to handle the current snake, the new one & everything else. Any info is appreciated. Dave.

    OK, some positive comments.

    I just got the new Car & Driver myself and I think the SRT looks great in every single picture. This amazed me, as I've found it not to be terribly photogenic. From the cover shot to the story pics, the cockpit looks great, the engine looks kewl, and the car to me looks hot. I'm not sure why...

    Handling - AutoX setup question

    I did my 5th autox Sunday, still lovin it big time, still running about a sec behind the trailered - serious vettes. I'm stock except for whats in my sig. My question is, I fully expected to get oversteer, & I've had my share of 360's (woohoo), but when I'm driving hard in a sweeper or a loop...

    OK, here are 2 really stupid questions, ready?

    I haven't seen any stupid questions, so I thought I'd do my part with these two. 1. Why does there have to be sooooo much room in the wheel wells on the viper (SRT or GenII for that matter). The SRT has 19 inch rims, sweet, but it still looks like it's setup for a 4x4 event with all the space...

    Coolant leak ??? Help, I'm freakin' out.

    Coolant leak ??? Help, I\'m freakin\' out. My 7,000 mile 2000 beauty bled coolant all over my garage floor today! Driving the 30 mins home I thought I smelled coolant, but figured it was a junker in front of me somewhere, when I got out of the car in the garage the smell was still there. I...

    I drove the SRT last night .. virtually.

    I have Xbox & got the Project Gotham racing. It has an SRT in it, I picked red and went for a virtual test drive. The neat part is, after doing some laps through the streets of London, watching the play back is awesome. The graphics on Xbox Project Gotham blow my PS2 GT/3 A-spec away, and it...

    I saw the SRT/10 Sunday and I think ...

    Finally !! I saw it in person while in Ohio this weekend at the Columbus Int'l Car Show. Before hand I thought if I saw it, I'd finally come to a single conclusion on whether I was going to switch or not, I guess nothing's that easy. First, I really liked it, overall I thought it was...

    Gotta flat, got questions. No racing tomorrow, wah.

    Started to drive the snake in this AM & it was drifting right, hopped out immediately & my passenger side tire was 80% flat, pulled the air compressor outta the trunk & 10 mins later limped her home. A quick peek in the garage & there it is, a construction nail half in the tire, I moved it &...

    Chicago show ?? And a neat idea for DC !

    OK, now I'm considering going to the Chicago show to see the VGX (& check out the terminator Mustang). Does anyone have recon on whether there'll be a nice showing for the VGX or what? So far the pic's from Detroit seem kinda lame, last years red model up on a stage, blah. Oh, and here's the...

    red, no black, no red, um, bla .. red, doh!

    Argh. I keep starring this stupid order sheet & can't make the only decision we've been given. Silver, like it on some cars, but not for me on this one. Red, hot, sexy, exotic car trademark color, not too bad to maintain, and more showy - which may be important as I too feel the SRT has a...

    Pics from Detroit anyone ?

    Thanks for some of the pics from the auto show everyone, but I've been sniffing around for some pics of the VGX itself at the show, are their multiple colors, etc., anyone get any they could share? thanks. Dave.

    2003 Chapter III hardtop - any rumors or ideas?

    I was wondering if there's any street talk, or even real talk, about a hardtop option from DC for the 2003. Has anyone played with any graphics to see how this would look? I was thinking if a hardtop was designed right, you could get a pretty close resemblance to the comp-coupe &/or concept...

    As I'm researching winter projects for the snake,a stereo upgrade is on the design table. I was wondering if anyone has tried the new XM radio yet. thanks, Dave.

    Need input on stereo design

    I guess it's that time of year, winter is nearing & so the cold weather projects start creeping up. One of mine is to upgrade the sound system, so I went to my local Audio Connection store & they prescribed a system based on the following; I want it to retain stock look as much as possible, I...
