    Chrome or Polished Wheels?

    Check the Corvette Forum, Autocrossing/Roadracing Section for wholesale failure of an OEM rim at Willow Springs--center completely ripped out from all spokes about 30 days ago. There was also a street failure about 6 months ago.

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    The tested GRs were ringer, cheating, X-Box wealel-mobiles. 4000lbs and 480hp does not produce the mag numbers the ringers were laying down. Now even the strongest of the ringer-mobiles--still cheating with traveling tech apparently--is getting spanked by the ACR with headers at One Lap...

    Owner, not enthusiast

    I went to the Control Panel and added my VIN but am still not shown as an Owner either! :confused: Do we get complimentary Supermodels as Owners?

    Soooooo Close and Yet.....

    Mine has been on the transport from a Dealer in one state to my local Dealer now for 2 weeks! These Billy-bobs do as they please regardless of how much extra $$$$$$$$$$$ is paid for the transport. I think he is picking up goats and chickens on the way for gas money. Meanwhile, my Dealer...

    New Stereo Head Unit Possible n 2008 Viper?

    Thanks Tim, I figured as much. I will wait for someone to come out with a iPod tap in for the stock (which have not yet found to exist for 2008s) non-nav radio, or I will just replace everything with a good aftermarket system. I just hate to rip into a brand new car.

    Chrome or Polished Wheels?

    Ahh, what he said! Basically, when you start shocking and baking the wheels it can weaken them. Is it likely to happen on the way to Starbucks? NO. Could it happen in 120F HPDEs as Willow Springs in the Summer? Probably not, but maybe... . So, add repair issues and strength issues, and...

    Chrome or Polished Wheels?

    ...which would be why you hsve the scratch on the polished wheel polished out by a professional so it is gone!! My comments relate only to the maintenance/repair of wheels. Each to his/her own in terms of looks.

    Sanding down my 08 Viper...your thoughts?

    WOW! :shocked: You are brave, and apparently skilled! I would have been forced to ask the Dealer to get it handled. Looks great!

    Nice looking car! My 2008 GTS Blue/Silver Stripes coupe arrives Friday! Like you, I just went from a C6 Z06, so we will have to compare notes.

    Chrome or Polished Wheels?

    Agree 1000%! Chrome are TOAST if you curb them and you definitely will. Get Polished without clearcoat and it is a much easier repair. If the wheels have clearcoat it can yellow over time and I believe that if you curb the wheel the clearcoat needs to be stripped and replaced. I have...

    New Stereo Head Unit Possible n 2008 Viper?

    Actually, the Alpine website does not list any "RB1". Does the navigation stereo head unit have a separate Alpine website model number? Thanks!

    New Stereo Head Unit Possible n 2008 Viper?

    This sounds very good! So In need: 1. The Alpine RB1 Unit; plus 2. Sirius unit; plus 3. iPod adapter. Will my dash console still work if I swap out the non-nav stock stereo head unit for the RB1? (I just purchased the carbon fiber look unit from Jon at Partsrack). Thanks again...

    New Stereo Head Unit Possible n 2008 Viper?

    Thanks for the response. Apparently, because our cars have "powered systems," to replace the head unit we either need to get a new wiring harness or rewire everything or (as you did) replace everything. The main thing I care about is hooking my iPod up to the existing system. Anyway, my...

    Nissan GTR Versus The 08 Viper

    You are a bit disappointed in Lap Times for the GTR because the truth is starting to leak out. The car will likely have the power and WEIGHT listed by the manufacturer. Physics is physics at some point. Especially after discounting launch control, etc. for standing starts. Good car, but...

    Hennessey 2008 ACR in One Lap of America ..... looking good !!!!

    Very impressive road course performances! I agree on the P-cars--need handicap to even compete until you reach the 997 GT2. Even though those cars have good build quality, it has always irked me that you never get a decent performance car from them until you spend huge dollars. Out The Door...

    2008 Stereo Question

    For those of you with 2008s: 1. Are any of the Speakers POWERED? If so when ones? Sub between the seats? Door speakers? 2. Can you replace the head unit with an Alpine or Pioneer unit with nav and ipod cable without replacing or rewiring all of the speakers? Thanks for...

    New Stereo Head Unit Possible n 2008 Viper?

    My car (Blue/Silver stripes coupe '08) arrives next week. The car does NOT have Nav. In terms of the stereo, I definitely want a functional iPod interface and mounts, and possibly nav, although I am leaning toward a protable GPS unit. In my last car (which had XM Radio--not my favorite)...

    Factory Pick-Up Procedure for Viper SRT10?

    In the Peoples' Republic of Kalifornia: 1. You WILL pay Sales tax; and 2. You WILL pay Sales tax on the entire price of the new car, not just the difference in the trade vs. new car price. Gubinator must have some greenbacks!

    radar detector mirror mount

    If I have a new Valentine 1 and want to use a rear-view mirror mount power tap in, can I use the cords that come with the V-1 or do I need the invisicord? If I need the invisicord, then exactly which product should I order? My car is a 2008 SRT-10 Coupe. Thanks very much for your thoughts!

    Valentine 1 Mounts in 2008s

    Thanks for all of the replies. I just cannot tell from the Country Joy website (which I saw in my seach)if that mount will be very secure or will flop around. So I will be interested to hear how you like yours. I assume you ordered the Valentine 1 Mount in 3/4"? My understanding is tha...

    Valentine 1 Mounts in 2008s

    Has anyone come up with a good mount for a V1 in the 2008s? I did a search and found some ideas, but not necessarily for 2008s. In particular, I am looking for the following mount in a 2008 Coupe: 1. Good scanning view out the windshield. 2. Does not obstruct MY view out the...
