    2012 Viper model was introduced at Orlando, Fl.

    Posted this in another thread, then saw this one. Not sure if these are real pics of the new concept, or where they even came from. And as a disclaimer, there are some gratuitous pics that might not be appropriate for work mixed in... theTHROTTLE: High Quality Photos of new Dodge Viper...

    Does a Gen 4 hood blow heat?

    Bob, I think what he's trying to say is that the vents on the Gen IV hood are much farther forward on the hood than on the Gen III. So the heat coming out of the Gen IV vents dissipates more effectively before it can be blown into the cabin than the heat coming out of the Gen III vents, which...

    IN/KY VCA Mtg/Car Show...Sat. 9/12/09...Mounds Mall

    Perfect weather, and a great turnout for a good cause. 15 Vipers of every generation showed up. Here are a handful of pics, sorry the lighting in the mall was terrible. One of these things is not like the others... I'd like one of these in my garage, and several days of track...

    IN/KY VCA Mtg/Car Show...Sat. 9/12/09...Mounds Mall

    I was at the mall this weekend, and they have advertisements for the show up at every corner. I'm normally not a "sit and watch my car at a car show" kinda guy, but this is for a good cause, in a community that could use some fun and smiles. I will definitely be taking my Viper. A lot of the car...

    Congrats...

    Nice to see you as always, Steve. Thanks again for lunch. I was glad to see it was Rick that got the SC'd SRT. I guess it should have been obvious from the name BadRichard. Since he goes through cars so quickly, I'll need to get him to show me the 250hp difference in a straight line sooner than...

    Painting stripes on GTS (pics)

    Re: suggestions on stripe COLOR...? I think silver is a safe bet. I've seen the sapphire/silver GTS combo in person... it looks great, and I don't think it would clash with your interior. I like Elaine's idea of burgundy, too. It'd certainly be unique, and the burgundy would tie in well with...

    08 cabin heat question

    Disclaimer: I don't have a Gen IV, and am only going by knowledge gathered here. For the Gen IV, the cabin heat problem was improved, as there is no longer an exhaust crossover beneath your butt. The exhaust now runs along the sills and exits on the same side. If you want to go the cheap...

    Purchase ? 2005 convertible

    I can't help you with the GenIII / Gen IV decision, since I've only had my Gen III for a few months and have never driven a Gen IV. But I can tell you that asking price is very high. I bought my 2005 Commemorative a few months ago, 10k miles, Gen IV hood and flawless inside/out for mid 40ish...

    NARRA (Viper Days) at Putnam Park Aug 7-9 CANCELED

    Something to keep in mind is that the NARRA event was scheduled at the same time as the Midwest VCA Rendevous a few hours away in Columbus, OH. I'm sure that took a bite out of NARRA registrations.

    New fuel economy standards...

    Well, I wasn't out to make enemies, so I'll quit before the flames get higher. Before I go, I'd like to iterate that I'm certainly not trying to tell you or anyone what to drive or how to act. I drive the hell out of my car, and spend my free time with like-minded gear heads. I don't see myself...

    New fuel economy standards...

    I'm with you Plum, I love my V10. But as for things bigger than a V6, the only car I mentioned that was less than 8 cylinders was the GT3. There are plenty of huge displacement cars from European makers of smaller cars. Volkswagen makes the Golf. Under other brands they also make the R8 5.2...

    New fuel economy standards...

    I’ve spent plenty of time in Europe, yes. I certainly wouldn’t say that people in Europe drive mostly scooters. There are a lot of scooters in rural areas, and some of the flimsy Peugeots you describe in the French countryside. But if you’ve spent any time on the E15, or the E51, you know that...

    New fuel economy standards...

    From reading the comments here, it’s obvious I’m in the minority, so hopefully I don’t make too many enemies, but how about an opposing point of view? Disclaimer, I consider myself neither a bleeding heart, treehugging liberal, nor a gun-toting, bible-thumping conservative. But I do find it...

    IN/KY VCA Mtg/Tour...Sat. 5/9/09...Fair Oaks Farms...

    I'm headed up with a small group. My wife and I are making the trip in the fun-mobile, and my daughter/inlaws are going to follow in another, less thrilling car. I need to clean up the Viper before the trip so I can make a good first impression. I did the claybar/sealer/wax routine for 10...

    Mecum Auction Tickets

    I don't need them, but hope you can find someone to put them to good use... the auction is a pretty neat thing to see. I'll be one of the lucky ones that get to drive some of the cars up onto the carpet. My father-in-law is in a local Corvette club that gets invited to help with the driving...

    So, you want a VOI 11 right?

    Don't have a membership distribution, but if membership roughly follows US population, the mean center is about 100 miles southwest of St. Louis. Mean center of United States population - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I'm not offering that as my preference for location. It's just that...

    I've never been to this place, but have family that have gone and really enjoyed it. So long as we can find a sitter, my wife and I are going to try to make it.

    So, you want a VOI 11 right?

    I'm not a VCA member yet (applied last week), but just a thought if it comes to the VCA footing the bill... How about all owners are invited, but attendance costs depend on membership? If non-members were charged an extra, say $300 per person to attend the VOI, maybe it would increase...
