    Not flattering about new Viper

    Notice the "upcoming SRT Viper with its measly 640 hp V10." quote. http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/04/27/2013-ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-to-pump-out-662-hp/?intcmp=features

    2013 SRT Viper pricing? (ALLPAR)

    Left over 2011 ZR1's were going for $106k as of Dec. The sticker on the car was $124k. So they are not flying off the shelves. I almost bought one but passed.

    Made the change

    After months of wavering which way to go, I decided to sell the VVO coupe and buy a Lambo LP560-4. It was my original choice then I bounced around from there and finally decided to try something totally new (all wheel drive/mid-engine). I've had 5 Vipers prior and will probably be back some...

    Looking for viper mate

    I didnt say I was buying it for luggage space. But I will say if I want to take a 3 day road trip with my wife, I dont want to have to buy my clothes/etc when I get there. At least my Viper has enough room for that. The front compartment will fit an Ipad and that is about it. Like I said, my...

    Looking for viper mate

    Like I said, it was a leftover that was sitting for about 5 months. If you remember gas prices were through the roof the previous summer and killed the Viper market. Also the market meltdown had already started and Chrysler was about to go down, plus the dealer had another 2009 sitting next to...

    Looking for viper mate

    I agree with Andrew. I paid $68k for my 08 coupe (the week before the bankrupcy) which was a leftover. I have a buyer for it now for $65. Not bad for having it almost 3 years.

    Looking for viper mate

    The GT was my original first pick. I was going to sell the Viper and buy one. Already had a buyer for the Viper. But a buddy of mine and both wifes went on a weekend road trip over the summer. He took his GT and I took my Viper. We stayed at 3 different hotels in 3 different parts of...

    Looking for viper mate

    The GT3 RS is really a coin toss between that and the ZR1. Besides the lighter weight and 20 more HP and better looks, is the RS worth the extra 20k? I really like the looks of them

    Looking for viper mate

    That is what I wish I could do. But if the FGT, then Viper is gone. That was my original thought but I cant afford a $170k FGT and a $65k Viper. If I bought the ZR1, I could have both. Nice problem to have but as good as the FGT, still not sure it is what a Viper + ZR1 is.

    Looking for viper mate

    I've been on the fence on buying another exotic to go with my 08 coupe for about 6 months. I've bounced back and forth between a Gallardo (09-10), F430, R8 or FGT. My biggest problem is if I go with one of those, I would probably sell the viper, because I dont want to have that much money in...

    Check Engine light stays on after dead battery

    It says in the owners manual that it can illuminate if you had a dead battery, which I did. But it does not say now to make it go off.

    Check Engine light stays on after dead battery

    I just had to charge my battery and now the check engine light stays on. Is there a reset? I am about to go on a road trip and dont want to have to take it in. Is this normal?

    Carfax vs autocheck

    Re: Carfax vs Autocheck. My experience with these are as follows. I purchased a 2006 Viper a couple of years ago with 2500 miles. Bought the car from an avid car collector. Ran a Carfax and it was clear. Got the car home and noticed the hood was not aligned very good so got it fixed at the...

    Certificates for 2012

    Has there been any discussion about having the certificate program like they did when the Gen 3s were released? Those that bought a new viper had first shot at ordering the Gen 3 first. It may be premature but maybe something that should be suggested.

    Shopping Experience

    Well, thats really an issue. The one I want is the LP560-4, spyder. The problem is, if I go that route (2009-2010), I wont be able to keep my Viper. I've done some more research and on Manheim, they are bringing about $199k at auction. A 2007 spyder is around $140k. That is a pretty bad...

    Shopping Experience

    Well, it is time to add a car to my 08 Coupe. I have been looking at the following in what was my order of possibility Ford GT 60% Gallardo 30% R8 10% I went to a dealership that had all 3 so it was a good opportunity to look at them together. After looking at the R8, it just...

    Opinions/Experience needed

    Looking to add another car to my collection, and want to stay American. I dont want a Vette just because they are everywhere and a z06 and ZR1 really does not look much different to average people than a normal vette. Plus they depreciate so bad. I have always liked the Shelby Series 1. Low...

    Gallardo vs. Ford GT

    Well, you guys pretty much confirmed what I already was thinking. The FGT was my first pick, then I saw an Orange G convert, and fell in love. My Viper is VVO. But the thing that I'm reluctant about is the depreciation and service costs. One of my best friends owns a Ford dealership so I...

    Gallardo vs. Ford GT

    I'm looking to add a car to my 2008 Coupe, and am floundering between a Gallardo and Ford GT. Looking at a 2008 Gallardo and 2006 Ford GT are about the same price, but if someone here who has owned either can give me some feedback, I would really appreciate it. I'm leaning towards the Ford for...

    2012 Viper sneek peak?

    If you read the caption under the charger, you will see it is the 1999 car show. This talks about the new charger as well but no pictures.

    Stereo mods

    What is the best way to get the stereo to sound better without having to replace the head unit. I dont want to put a big sub in the thing, but with the speakers it has, it needs to sound better than it does. I have the Fisher Price nav system in mine, but I dont want to go ripping on the dash...

    Chrysler's current condition

    I bought my 06 with 1800 miles on it. The history showed good on it when I bought it. The thing rattled like an old buckboard, unlike any of the others I had. It really didnt track down the road very well either, it was just all over the place. I had it in the shop to fix the hood alignment...
