    another end of viper article

    I agree. The Viper is a miniscule piece of the profit picture for Chrysler, yet it serves an important role as a halo car that makes people go "wow, look at what they are doing". It would be a major mistake for Chysler to kill it IMO. I would also say don't underestimate the power that you...

    Next Gen Viper scrapped? Current Gen to be built to 2011

    I've been afraid something like this would happen, given the Viper's relatively low volume of production. With this 35MPG crap those that DO survive are only likely to get much more expensive and harder to get, as production will be artifically constrained to meet the 35MPG target. Looks like...

    08s For Sale on Showroom Floors

    On a related note, does Dodge have a website you can search to see who does have one? I found my Z06 using gmbuypower.com. Is there an equivalent? I'm itching to see an 08 in person, but the dealers around here don't seem to have any intentions of getting one.

    Viper vs. Vette

    I'd also like to see the Z06 go head to head against the 08 Viper WITHOUT the stock Goodyear runflats, just to take tires out of the equation. Kudos to Dodge for getting rid of them on the 08 Viper, the runflats on the vette are horrible tires. The second Michelin releases the OEM tire size on...

    Viper vs. Vette

    Red actually IS my favorite, but not on a Corvette. Go figure. Can't explain, it just doesn't seem to flatter the C6's lines (red looked much better on the C5). My Saleen, M3, and Harley are all red, and if I get a Viper I'll probably do Venom Red. :)

    Viper vs. Vette

    The regular C6 Corvette does indeed look positively plain beside a Viper. I like the looks of both the C6 Z06 (obviously, since I have one. :) ) and the Viper, and for me it depends on the angle as to which one I think looks better. From the front, the Viper gets the nod, but I personally prefer...

    I know this is a crazy Car Cleaning question.. but..help if you know..

    NO to windex. I don't even use that crap on the glass (Stoners is better anyway). If it is only LIGHTLY (and I mean VERY lightly) dusty, then quick detailer is ok. But if it is dirt and grim, soap and water is the only way to remove it safely without scratching.

    35 mpg by 2020...

    I'll bet money they raise the gas guzzler tax before it is all said and done as well. And probably by a lot. Unlike some, I don't see that as the death of cars like the Viper, the Vette, etc. But it won't surprise me if the automakers have to sell fewer of them to keep their CAFE numbers up...

    Newbie. Could be looking to add a Viper to the stable :-)

    I knew there was at least one coupe....the dealer I bought both of mine from had one. I believe it has been sold a couple of times now. I used to think Saleen's Rainbow was the bomb, but mystichrome looks way better.

    Newbie. Could be looking to add a Viper to the stable :-)

    Guilty as charged. Enough positive reviews on the 08s in the press have convinced me to take another look at the car. I'm certainly not completely sold that I want one, but decided I should consider it as I love the looks.

    The Chrysler Viper????

    A similar rumor was going around at one point about the Corvette and rebading it either as its own brand or even as a Cadillac. I doubt there was ever any REAL truth to it, but if there were, I am certain GM would get massive amounts of feedback that Corvettes better not have anything else other...

    Wow that is one RARE Saleen in your sig. One of two if memory serves? I'd love to see a pic if you have one handy. :) I love both of mine. They aren't going anywhere. ;)

    VooDoo Industries Viper Bike

    How in the hades would you hold on to the thing if you cracked the throttle open more than just a tad. Good lord........... I like it. :)

    Newbie. Could be looking to add a Viper to the stable :-)

    Thanks for the welcome. I look forward to reading about what folks think about their new 08s, as well as seeing where Dodge takes the car going forward. Most probable time line for me to purchase is next fall as an 09. So plenty of time for me to learn from you folks and nake sure buying one is...

    Newbie. Could be looking to add a Viper to the stable :-)

    Just thought I'd say hi. Possible some of you may know me. I go by "snakecharmer" (no hyphen) everywhere else on the net. Should have figured someone would have beaten me to it here. :) Real name is Eric, I go by snakecharmer because of first serious sports car I ever bought (and still own), a...
