It's a really confusing article. What he sounds like he wants is an Ariel Atom or Caterham Seven, both of which are neat cars, but neither of which are particularly appealing to Viper owners.
Agreed. That one test, for the subjective title of "best driver's car" should have easily been a #1 win. Instead it was dead last. That hurts.
Say what you will about magazines and their reviews and whether they matter to the buying public, but even if only enthusiasts look at reviews of...
How many people that buy SRTs (not just Vipers, but Chargers, 300s, Challengers and Jeeps) have no idea about the SRT Track Experience?
Every SRT has a free ticket to one included in the price.
Almost every single SRT owner I've met has had no idea that they got to go to one of these for free...
Yes, yes, yes. I hear this every time I talk to anyone about the Viper. Of course civilians you'd maybe expect it, but car people don't know it either.
I'm in the market for another Viper. Biggest hurdle for me isn't the power, options, or styling. I have no problem with "only" 640 hp and love the looks of the new body. I sat in one at a dealership and thought is was comfortable and that it had room for a helmet on my 6'3" frame.
The TA...
The review mentions another thing I've always found interesting: they call it a Gen 3.
I guess some people see there as being 5 generations of Vipers, and some see there as being 3, depending on whether you group 1/2 and 3/4 together because the body styles were so similar.
The 5 gens seem...
Very interesting read. Sucks to hear that the gecko did that to ya, and I too think that's wrong. OP was doing nothing wrong, wouldn't have been able to file a claim in the first place, and would have been covered by VOI insurance in the second place.
Troubling that this will probably become...
Considering 2010 ACRs were stickering for $109-$115k when new, $120 for a TA isn't a bad price.
If I could get one, it would definitely be white. Black is beautiful but I'm tired of the upkeep on black cars to keep them clean. Orange is beautiful, but my Challenger is Hemi Orange, my boat is...
I was at an HPDE with Tim back in 2011 and got to see his -X and his Ferrari. Very, very nice cars, and Tim and his wife were awesome to talk to. They helped me reset a trouble code after I spun out and put the computer in limp mode.
The event had a ton of pictures of everyone's cars, but I...
If MCVO is the only regional to break away, National will be able to call it a fluke, or a one-off.
If a bunch of regionals follow this lead and break away, it sends a clear message to everyone.
This isn't a letter that "got out" on the internet. It's not some disgruntled keyboard jockeys on...
In some states, a part malfunction that you can prove that caused a violation like that will change the ticket to either a fix-it-ticket (ticket dropped after repair made) or to a failure to maintain vehicle, which is no points and a lesser fine.
Either way, sorry you got busted...
I'd love a new ACR but would be very, very, very happy with a TA as well. I'm not nearly good enough on the track to enjoy all the benefits of the ACR (or at least, I wasn't with the one I had), and the TA will be more than enough.
Plus, my wife didn't like the aggressive looks of the ACR with...
You can get the official Mopar one (not gonna tell you it's not good, haven't looked at the classifieds), or just get a cheap can of Fix-A-Flat and a cigarette-lighter air compressor and have the same thing.
Edit: Walmart carries a Fix-A-Flat kit that's exactly the same thing (can of goo plus...
I used a random orbital on my ACR's stripes just fine, no tape on the edge. The buffer is not nearly strong enough to do anything to the edge.
I did, however, tape off and mask the hood vents, just to keep product from getting on them. That's a bear to get off!
The sun visors on my Roadster never blocked anything for me. I unscrewed them and stuck them on a shelf. Made the windshield look much cleaner without them.
Very, very nice cars though. Envy isn't enough of a word :)
Welcome.
Sounds like you've been bitten :)
You're looking for a Gen IV ACR, 2008-2010. They're pretty desirable. If you're wanting a specific color combination, you may be looking for a while. Those combos in particular are more rare.
Good luck on the hunt.
