Gen 5 spotted!
I'm not sure if I read this wrong, but to me the clamshell gap is pretty good to the fender. Designing a clamshell, considering overslam and build tolerances, it's not bad at all. The Gen 2 clamshell gap was sort of disguised since being a feature line above the rocker, but the Gen 5 clamshell...- 2000_Black_RT10

LEDs and the Viper
Cool thanks, never know how to read replies at times and avoid making assumptions. Nice to read about your background too, lots of stuff I don't know about. Cheers, Mike PS.. one unusual idea... decades ago working with an OEM, they wanted to have a single light source, as one light box... -

LEDs and the Viper
Hopefully it's not sarcasm, and you are welcome if not. Many time folks don't appreciate the validation efforts in vehicle design, as there are many concerns regarding liabilities with higher volume products. Cheers, Mike -

LEDs and the Viper
I've designed headlamps and tail lights one time in my career, and the entire assembly is designed to accommodate heat, as a system. That newsletter quote tends to imply a scenerio when people install LED lights into an assembly that wasn't designed for them. Projector lamps create quite a... -

Pontiac Solstice interior had a similar interior layout?
Strangely enough... just sharing some rumors since working in the auto design industry, hearing comments that are being made of the Gen V that the interior is similar to the layout of the past Pontiac Solstice... dash vent locations, grab handle, storage compartment between the seats and a...- 2000_Black_RT10

IMHO about prices and options
You're a gentleman, but it's one of those things, doesn't really matter what I write on forums regarding opinions or any info... perhaps getting too old for this... no worries. Cheers, Mike- 2000_Black_RT10

New video, Autoline After Hours, interviewing Ralph
That's cool Mike and Jay, after watching, just had to Post it.. enjoyed the relaxed style conversation. I don't think that was intentionally malicious, just pointing out a fact that checking all the boxes can be expensive sounding like he is being a bit humorous understanding we all don't have... -

What made you buy a Viper?
Winding the clock back to around 2000.... was working across the border, commuting from Windsor at Chrysler in Auburn Hills. I had a job teaching CAD to design and engineering. An opportunity came up in our group, asking who wants to work in the Featherstone facility to teach CAD (CATIA V5) to...- 2000_Black_RT10

I'm a bit of an oddball... live out in the countryside, nothing is more fun than cruising around on the rural country roads, rolling hills, etc.. first 37 years of my life living in the city, and really don't like driving in traffic or being in the...- 2000_Black_RT10

Dodge Viper, Ford Fox body and a Chevy Mouse?
Perhaps a silly post related to animal names... pics taken about 1/2 hour ago... so I'm looking out the front window and this fox comes to the porch to eat some dog food, I grab the camera, the fox stops, listens...... runs out to the field and comes right back to the food bowl with a mouse (and...- 2000_Black_RT10

Damn passenger side door!
I posted this years ago, but another common place for the door to rub is the weatherstrip bulb seal is at the bottom rear corner, as it'll damage the weatherstrip over time as the carpet on the door panel rubs over it when opening and closing the door, which can be expensive to replace. You can...- 2000_Black_RT10

Headlights photoshops
I guess a topic could be why some don't like the new headlights.. Is it because that it doesn't have an aggressive expression, is it the appeal for the car to have a pissed off street fighter look to it? Dodge sure likes to have angry expressions on the front of their cars, like the Charger...- 2000_Black_RT10

Headlights photoshops
Interesting thoughts..... The animated snakehead comparison reminds me of when I mocked up some goofing around on the forum here posting pics one night about 3 years ago or so.... modeled all of this in CAD in 3D, a snakehead with an aggressive or angry expression, and a crazy fanged wheel... -
