    My Fellow Americans...it was a GOOD run

    But now its time for the Viper..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3ENX3aHlqU and this brings up a cornucopia of feelings.... the engine, the vibrations, the roar, the rawness, the predatory nature, the beast, the brawn, the bully, the baddest ass car ever, the buddies, the dyno tests in...

    Heritage vs Fast, Faster, and Fastest

    I ordered my wifes blue convertible C7 Corvette about 2 months ago. Then I went back to order the C7 Z06 black on black for me......but just couldn't do it. The Gen V just looks like a work of Michealangelo going down the street like an artwork of mechanical sex, beauty, force and presence...

    Told ya...

    And no, I'm not gloating. But I was right about the Gen 5 Viper when the stats came out, and I wrote that article, The Death of the Viper. And of course I was vilified in here, which is really what I expected. But its the truth. No one outside of Viper World is really excited about a new...

    Doomed

    Question: What do many if not most Viper owners and VCA members have in common with Mitt Romney, Carl Rove, and Dick Morris? Answer: The inability to understand, interpret, comprehend, and accept the real world that exist around them despite all the facts and data staring them right in the...

    I'm just gone go ahead and say it...

    I love the Gen 5 SRT Viper. I love the less weight, I love the 6 air-breathing gills in the hood. I love the high quality interior thats functional and holds you in place while you're kicking ass and taking names. I LOVE the fact that my wife hates riding in the Viper for long trips. I LOVE that...

    What Retro Cars Would YOU like to See?

    Ford went retro with the T Bird and the Mustang. Chevy went retro on the Camaro and Dodge went retro on the Charger and the Challenger. But there are several seriously popular muscle cars out there that drivers with graying hair like myself would love to see hit the showroom floors. I would...

    The Five Greatest Sports Cars Ever Built

    In your opinion what are the top 5 greatest sports cars ever to be built? Now, I suggest we have a few guidelines in the selection. The car has to have been out at least a year so it can be road tested. So that excludes our Gen 5, the upcoming 662 hp Stang, the F12 Ferrari, etc. The list...

    Actually....

    The more I think about it and the more information coming about about the Gen 5, the more I think this Viper will have the potential to be a HUGE success. As Viper owners we sometimes have on blinders when it comes to objective views of the Viper from the outside world and we cannot understand...

    Death of the Viper

    First and foremost let me say that I love the Gen 5, both the exterior and the interior. You have to understand that no matter what SRT came up with, at least half to a third of we Viper owners were gonna be pissed. You cant have 640-700 hp cars without traction and stability control and expect...

    Viper Philosophy

    Hey guys, its been a while since I've posted. Been away from Viper world every since a local dealer totaled my Viper in 2010. The arrival of the Gen 5 is very exciting. However, when one steps back away from something they value deeply for a significant period of time, in my case Vipers, it...

    Gen IV w/ bolt ons? Gen 3 Paxtonized? Or ACR?

    The only thng keeping me from going insane while I prepare to go to war with the insurance companies is the goal of having my Viper replaced and properly compensated (a local dealer totaled my Viper). My Viper was n/a and had a built motor capable of withstanding 1000 rwhp, but I only had...

    They totaled my Viper today

    I drove my Viper over to Lake Norman Dodge and Chysler on Monday for an oil change, fix my a/c, and to put a new Gen 4 hood on, replacing the Gen 4 Lemke hood already on the car. I had the new Gen 4 hood shipped to the dealer from Chuck Tator. Chuck talked to the manager at Lake Norman Dodge...

    This is embarassing...but

    I think it is also important and hopefully can help me and others who are new to the drag strip. I FINALLY took my Viper to the drag strip last night in Rockingham. It was a 2 hr drive of stop and go driving in the Viper, and when I finally got to the track she was rather hot. I just love the...

    Viper Investment Project

    Please forgive me if this belongs under an existing thread, I have had my hands full debating some really good friends lately.:D I have read talk and posts about the Viper brand being sold. I, for one, do not believe the Viper community should simply sit on our asses and not get involved in...
