So if a person is a born-again Christian, trying to live a more meek and humble life, it also means that he/she cannot have nor voice an opinion? Au contraire! Try dissing me harder - it ain't working so far. ;)- xanadu

Pass the expense off to the consumer who wants the options - isn't that how all vehicles are sold? When you trade in a vehicle, don't you check its value based on the options it came with? When you purchase, don't you pay extra for options you want over and above the standard model? If there...- xanadu

What makes you so hell bent on saying that I am NOT an owner? Because I do not brag about what I do own or do not own any longer (sold this, sold that, had this, totaled that)? Because I do not put anything in my signature to be boastful about menial things? One of the first things I started...- xanadu

I'll be sure to do that!:) Your right, they are not for everybody, but if they don't start to appeal to more people, there will not be very many more production years to come. You "purists" are not making the yearly sales - it's the common sports car enthusiast with a little more to spend...- xanadu

Me too, when speaking about sports cars. But what does an automatic have to do with this post? Paddle shifting sequential MANUAL gearboxes are not automatic transmissions, they are manually shifted (ie, shifted by MAN).- xanadu

Let me clarify - physics, but as it relates to ultrasound. Tator's are good from Sonic. I prefer curly fries from Arby's.- xanadu

2000Black RT10 - Thanks, but dang Bud, I'm way lost. You're speaking a language I've never heard before. Important thing would be to keep the job, so let's not go anywhere that would be jeopardized. So you live in RUSH country (hence my screen name)? Neil Peart rules!- xanadu

You've got me!!! I have no idea. I just copied and pasted an article. Perhaps ViperPhil can shed some light. He seems to be a pretty smart cookie with mechanical engineering stuff.

That was too funny to read. Nah, why would you want to see the Viper any more like the current high end cars winning serious road races. Just get some seat belts and feel the passion. Why see the Viper continue in production another several years either? The bottom line is really this: The...- xanadu

You'll have to try harder than that. Like I've previously said, I'm an outspoken, opinionated, Born-again, Southern Baptist, Right Wing, anti-abortion, Conservative Capitalist Jesus freak - I've been attacked and that was like a weak thump with a broken finger.- xanadu

Hmmm. Let me ask two questions: 1) Since you are only intrested in engine advancements, exactly how much horsepower would you say will be completely enough - no more? 2) What level of horsepower (number) will you say that the Viper will no longer see sales great enough to justify a continued...- xanadu

Vette's are cookie cutter cars made with plastic bodies. The Z06 is very impressive, but it looks too much like the common Vette that is seen passing by on every street each 2 or 3 minutes. The Viper is a low production run and therefore not so "dime a dozen".- xanadu

Okay, once again I will defer back to the article I've posted here (#92) about the sequential dual-clutch transmission which has already started production. It was designed by Chrysler in conjuction with Getrag. Here's is PARTIALLY what it says...- xanadu

Changes in F1 are being made to make the less budgeted teams (hopefully) more competitive. It was the same reason why the switch from slicks to grooved tires and raising the ride height. Slowing down the cars to make for better competition between teams has been the major issue, but it still has...- xanadu

I would care less about comparing YOUR HORSE with MY HORSE - sounds a bit like "little boy games" doesn't it?

I agree with everything you've said (I think) Bluestreak. But just to clarify (to the best of my understanding) - McLaren, not DC, did the motor changes - which proves that things can be outsourced for cost savings. As for the option of sequenial gearbox - the cost would be passed along to...- xanadu

Guess you didn't know that Chrysler / Getrag has already begun to produce twin-clutch sequentials that have been very highly regarded? Stop with the "ohhh, it costs toooooo much" whine. From McLaren (who built the new 600 hp engine - in case you didn't know) to Mercedes to Chrysler to Getrag...- xanadu

Selfish is when you want something ONLY your way, and are not willing to let someone else have something their way TOO (as an op-shun)! It's not about wanting to change the Viper into something else - the Viper with optional sequential manual paddle shift and optional/defeatable traction control...- xanadu

You can't blame wrecks on TC or the lack thereof. That's why automakers which provide TC have disclaimers! I think it has a lot more to do with the driver and driving than the car! Oh, and maybe because there are thousands upon thousands more exotics WITH TC than the whole number of Vipers...- xanadu
