    08 brite blue aero vert.

    Eagles is an individual, me. I have an '08 with 75 miles on her. Though not driven often she is Very strong stock. I love this car. I wanted and had a line on an orange aero vert but the wife nixed that color so I picked up this blue beauty. Eagles

Hope it is produced as I would buy one to add to my Mopars if the following were true; max wt 3500...

    How many are waiting on a Gen V Vert?

    I will buy one if---it has 20 to 50 more hp and has a rear end other than the coupe version. I could live without the hp increase but if the rear end on the coupe is used on the vert I will not buy one. I am also not buying a coupe due to the rear end styling.

    Battery death

    I swear by my Odyssey pc925. Going on 8 years now in my '03. Its always hooked to a tender when in garage--never a problem. Also have them in other cars with no probs. It is a dry cell battery and can be mounted on side if need be. Only difficulty is they are a little pricey and you have...

    2002 RT/10 or 2003-05 SRT/10?

    I would agree with Twister's comments and add; '03 on up are more refined drivers car, cabin heat was an issue in my '96 GTS, one of the reasons I traded it. I bought a '96 new and traded it for an '03 which I still have. Just my personal choice. I'm in Sonoma if you want a little experience...

    What would you like to see as the NEW Engine for the Gen V Viper?

    Design goal of 725-750hp, v10, na, with a new head design with hemispherical combustion chambers built with exotic metals to keep engine weight at or below the current level. The cost increase would be substantial but worth it to me. Oh yes, I do believe in Santa. eagles

    Did Ringgold Dodge make it through the tornado?

    Also have had positive dealings in '03 with Ringold as Mike Robbins and his staff went out of their way to help. Very positive feelings with my "03 deal. My prayers go out to the staff hopefully they will become operational quickly. Eagles

    How to buy a used Jeep Cherokee SRT8

    We love our '08 srt8 JeepGC. We like it as we can take our grandkids with us on trips. It is a nice companion to our Vipers. Can't think of a real negative. OK, well it doesn't have 600hp. Drove it to VOI 11 and back [prox 1500 miles RT] at speeds over the posted limits while getting prox...

    Gen V wheels?

    Jon B, I agree 100% re the Gen 5 wheels, they do not belong on a Viper or any hi performance sportscar imho. They are more like Driving Miss Daisy Wheels. The rest of the car which we were allowed to see displayed a curvy musculature reminescent of the Gen 2. Eagles

    '08 hood to '03 air box potential problems?

    Thank you in advance to any and all who respond with any comments re the cf hood idea. I am seriously thinking about putting a CF '08 hood on my '03. If anyone out there has done it, how does the matchup between the '03 airbox an '08 hood work out in terms of keeping hot engine air out of the...

    Infineon Raceway =BAD BOYZZ GARAGE= Sonoma Historic Motorsports Run June 5th, 2010

    Re: Infineon Raceway =BAD BOYZZ GARAGE= Sonoma Historic Motorsports Run June 5th, 201 Sounds like a cool deal. Did a similar event with the VCA known as the Chrysler Wine Country Classic in May 1997. That event was a lot of fun as there was a Highway Patrol escort down Broadway to the Plaza...
