    WRONG My mistake - Someone said something and I went back looking for my post and didn't find it. I made a bad assumption that my post had been deleted. Apologies.

    Finally got around to detailing the TA.

    I have a black tow hook instead. Yes, the tennis ball is for parking. Actually, my wife parks her SL550 on that side.

    Finally got around to detailing the TA.

    Bob, Running great, absolutely couldn't be better. I'm almost embarrassed when I fire that thing up, it's is so loud but my wife even likes the way it sounds. I let my youngest son drive it and he was ectastic, said he had to drive one someday. He had also driven my 09 ZR1 and knows the...

    Should I wait for the 2015 refresh

    I had an 08 ACR and was holding out for a new ACR but finally decided I liked the new TA and didn't wait. gold cup is right - there are some fantastic deals. My advice - don't wait for something that is only rumor right now.

    Wow, srt homecoming open to all past and present owners, not exclusive

    Oh, we have a clue. I saw where some were trying to ask questions on their website about the legality of the "door prize." They said they would answer those questions at the event and in other cases said people had no right to be asking the questions. They deleted my post and probably others...

    SRT Homecoming

    Everything you are talking about has nothing to do with the VCA. Why are you trying to make it appear that the VCA is involved in anyway with the activity you are talking about?

    Comp Blue Yes or No

    Sorry, the comp blue, at least in photos just doesn't do it. Maybe in person I would have a different opinion.

    Has anyone installed their radar detector using the pigtail?

    I had the dealer install mine before I took delivery. Looks like I could have done it with the pigtail included with the car but I wanted them to do it.

    Ralph wants/needs an automatic

    I have always said I wouldn't want a Viper with an auto/DCT; however, after driving my wife's SL550 the past couple of days and playing around with the 7 speed auto and paddle shifters, I've changed my mind. It would still be a fun car to drive with DCT. Ralph says no thought because the...

    Gen 5 owners: What has pleasantly surprised your about your car?

    The quality is definitely better than any American car I have purchased in the past. I finally got a chance to do a couple of WOT runs this morning. This beast is amazing and for everyone's whining about the nannies they definitely help the car hook up.

    Visiting the Mercedes Benz dealer with my TA

    So, I took my wife's MB SL550 in for a wash (that's right, you get lifetime free washes as often as you want). I was telling our salesman there I had traded in the ACR. He took me into the shop to show me a 2004 black on black Viper convertible they had taken in on trade. Excellent car and well...

    MY TA has arrived---Questions

    I had a 2009 ZR1 and they are different for sure. The TA is more old school hot rod or at least that's my opinion about my TA. Take it easy (not over 4k rpm) for the first 500 miles, change the oil and then nail it and see what you think.

    I'm getting about 11.9 MPG. Not bad for pulling somewhere close to 700 HP. (it's not stock).
