    OK, Car Audio Wizards, How Do I...

    Put a CD changer in a beater car for the least amount of money? I don't want to invest in anything that would go with the car since I would want to pull this and put it in the next beater I get. I turns out that the ONLY place I listen to music is in my car! And I need to address that issue...

    Lots of SRT's on eBay w/MSO

    Re: Lots of SRT\'s on eBay w/MSO I don't think there would be any way a dealer could get in trouble if a cert holder did a side deal to flip the car under MSO with the dealer. Every dealer has a waiting list for these cars. The instant someone turns it over, phone calls will be made. It is...

    Blasphemy in Detroit! Pics inside.

    There should be a cup holder because the SRT is just too dangerous a car to drive with a beer in one hand.

    Lots of SRT's on eBay w/MSO

    Re: Lots of SRT\'s on eBay w/MSO There appears to be a segment of the car buying public that buys new cars for 1 year of less. I think they score big deals on the new purchase and then flip the car for something else. It's amazing how many Zo6 Corvettes are for sale! I've seen more VIpers on...

    Lots of SRT's on eBay w/MSO

    Lots of SRT\'s on eBay w/MSO Lots for sale as new under MSO. I think it is great how certificate holders gave their cars to their dealers so they could put them on eBay.

    VOI.8 .... YES!

    I'm voting again. COLORADO SPRINGS! Mountains folks! You DON'T KNOW WHAT YET MISSING! Seriously, anyone who owns a Viper owes it to themselves to frolick in the Rocky Mountains. VOI would be a great catalyst to get people to GO OUT AND DO IT! Pikes Peak anyone?

    Zone Director Sells First SRT

    A couple comments: 1) DC wanted to "give something" to current owners of Vipers that bot them new. This thing was intended to be the ability to order the new SRT. This thing has a cash value determined by the market place. The purpose of this program was to reward people who stepped up...

    SRT rental !

    I talked to a guy who rented a Viper in LV and he swears they have some kind of chip or something that radically reduces HP! The rental was something like $250 a day.

    Singing rear end

    I don't think you have a choice in the backlash, you have to use the contact pattern to establish the correct backlash.

    VIPER HORSEPOWER @ 450 FOR RT-10/GTS IS VERY LOW!

    Sooooooooo, a Cannibal goes into a restaurant and orders a waiter. Da-Boom!

    Singing rear end

    Setting up a rear end is a real pain in the a$$. First of all, "clearance" is meaningless. You set the pinion depth as per the dimension etched on the pinion face. Then you shim the carrier for the best tooth contact pattern. If you are lucky you will get a good one. If not, you have to...

    I think the point is that some people are being helped to flip theirs while other people are being squeezed to give them up.

    Gas Guzzler Tax is Bogus, We're Getting Screwed.

    Re: Gas Guzzler Tax is Bogus, We\'re Getting Screwed. I don't know, but I thought I heard Bush say something like a family of "n" w/$40k annual income would get a 90% reduction in their fed income tax. Actually that is not bad if you believe in deductions. What I find interesting is that this...

    Gas Guzzler Tax is Bogus, We're Getting Screwed.

    Gas Guzzler Tax is Bogus, We\'re Getting Screwed. I was just looking at my window sticker for my 2000 GTS and it specifies: Estimated Annual Fuel Cost = $1351 How did they get this number? 15000 miles / year Ave fuel economy = (12+21)/2 = 16.5 mpg Fuel consumed = 15000/16.5 = 909...

    So Whatever Happened to Lowering the Gas Guzzler Tax?

    Looks just like my 2000 sticker with regards to the GGT. I wonder what was all the talk about the lowering of the cost of the car? Perhaps wild rumors confusing the elimination of Lux Tax? Let's face it, with a slightly modified SRT engine, there is no way the Fuel Economy could have been...

    Please help settle this debate!!!!

    6th to 3rd is a ratio change over 3 times the change from 2nd to 3rd, so you will get 3 times the wear as a 2-3 or 4-3 shift. If you do it quickly and force the shifter, you get more wear. If you do it with your fingertips, you get much less wear. I don't do this. First, I never drive in 6th...

    SRT PURCHASE PRICE

    Yes, and new car sales are not a profit center for a dealership. Used cars and service are.

    Frank, You have definitely laid all future question about price to rest! Job well done! You are now The Man when it comes to invoices! BTW, was your name printed on the window sticker? Tom

    States without Sales Tax

    Regarding CA, I did a quick inquiry because ZO6's were selling 20k over sticker and here in PA they were 2k over. I think the rules were that a new car could not be bought outside of CA and brought in, period. The exception was that the car had to be over 6 or 9 mos old or have over 8000 miles...

    Nausea/Sickness from High HP

    RockyTop: A really cool story. Have to clean that acid up right away! Neil: I noticed your comment right away! Because Nadine said how amazed she was that she behaved completely while driving Red Viper at VOI. Of course, I had no idea what she was referring to! Nadine: Oh My! What could...

    Get on the phone NOW and call tirerack!!!!!

    I have some Uniroyals on my Super Lark that are 25 years old and did not dry rot. They did have Armorall on them. But they are as hard as wood. In fact, if I do a burnout, they sound like wood. A new meaning for "giving it the wood." Find a large back - perhaps an engine bag from a machine...
