First sentence in the email which was received this morning by 170+ Motor City members:
A New Club Direction
The MCVO Board of Directors has unanimously voted to separate from the National Viper Club of America.

As the title says, my Viper was delivered to my door step by Roanoke last week. I have only driven it a few hundred miles, so I'm still learning about the car and forming opinions. Car has the optional leather seats and the interior is even better than expected. I have spent some time changing...
Posted this yesterday on the Gen 5 forum. Maybe some who follow only this forum will have interest. I wanted the wheels and rotors, but prefer the street tire since I will put a lot of miles on the car and probably never track it. Tires are brand new--taken off at Roanoke. Thanks...
Just placed my ad in the classifieds which will be approved soon. My 2013 arrived at Roanoke last week and the Track Pack tires were immediately removed. I had a set of Pirelli P Zero (non Track Pack) tires installed because I intend to put a lot of miles on the car-- all on the street. Asking...
Checked late last night and still in D1----and have been for months. Just looked this morning and voila!!!https://www.chrysler.com/vots/vehicle_status.html?firstName=&lastName=Hodel&vin_last8=DV400008&orderno=von&fromLogin=true:D

Have a message from John Gastman complete with 5 pictures of the first 2013 to arrive at Roanoke being unloaded. Although I can email pictures and post my own pictures, I don't known how to move them from my mail to the forum. One of you more savvy guys want to give me your email address and I...

Great news! Things are starting to move...

Base model--That's what some of the magazines are calling the SRT Viper. Who wants to spend 100K plus and have your ride called the "base model"? Even on this forum, a poster referred to the SRT model as the "cheapo". Doesn't sound good to me, as one who likes the SRT. Not much is exclusive to...
Although I think the GTS is a beautiful car, I am so greatful for the SRT Viper. That will be my choice. Some will want the rear back up camera, the deluxe interior, the cup holders and the endless electronic devices....and buy the GTS. If that's what it takes to keep Viper alive, then so be...
Just wondering how the Gen V will be allocated. I think it would be great, and help hold the prices down, if coupons were the method as in the past. Comments?

My Viper Black coupe is now listed in the classifieds.Black/Silver 2008 Coupe with 1511 miles - ViperClub Classifieds
It only has 1511 miles and is like new. The ultra low mile 2008 and 2009 cars are getting tougher to find, unless you are in the market for an ACR. First shot is the VCA. Ebay...
Maybe....if not the first, certainly one of the first. Our GTS Blue/White hit 36,200 today, and we have a few road trips planned for September and October. We have had very few mechanical issues with the car--dashboard rattle was the most annoying, but fixed it myself. Replaced the rear tires...
I posted an ad in the classified a few weeks ago for a friend and fellow Viper owner. He just asked me to cut the price $500. I'd link the ad, but it's gone now pending approval by a moderator. This is a spare set which have been running on a 2008 Viper. They are identical to the OEM wheels...
We just returned Oct. 22 from a great driving adventure which started Sept. 15. We hooked up with some of our Motor City pals at the home of Ralph Gilles, where he was hosting a barbecue lunch as part of the Illinois VCA's Vipers Invade Niagara. That event was a blast, and was the reason we...
What a great job on the Winter 2009 issue! I really enjoyed the printed version with all the color photos. It's the way to go, in my opinion. Many thanks to Ron for all his efforts, and to all who contributed !:2tu:

It was -5 degrees here in my part of Ohio this morning. Not much happening so I decided to back the 08's out for a warm up and took a few pictures. The GTS Blue has 9600 miles and was one of the first 08's, built in November 2007. The Viper Black is still on MSO, and has not been driven. Roanoke...
Many thanks to our Social Director and all the Board for another great event! The Michigan weather was perfect, we had a huge turnout and everyone had fun. It doesn't get any better than today!

I checked the stripe measurements on my coupe for Malu59RT. Others may have interest, too. If it has been posted before, I'm sorry.
Lower lip front fascia--stripe width 5-5/16". space between stripes 3-3/8"
Top of front fascia &
front edge of hood-----stripe width 5-1/2". space between...
Santa Claus was here on Thursday night! Many thanks to John Gastman from Roanoke Motors!
Major thanks to my fellow Motor City member Steve 00RT/10 for help in posting these pics.

Great job Ron Stene and all the contributors. This issue of Snake Bites was jammed with a lot of interesting reading and photos. We have just got to go to more of these events in 2008.:2tu:
I talked with my dealer today---one of our supporting dealers--so he knows what's happening. He said the 2 tone interiors are released for cars scheduled to build in November. Also talked to a CAAP employee at a Motor City event over the weekend and was told there are no finished cars yet, and...
Many of the VCA officers were rubbing elbows with the SRT brass over the weekend. Can you give us any info on when the cars will start regular production? My dealer says it's an engine certification delay---true? Shortly after placing our order on May1, we were told the 2 tone interiors would...
