    Paxton Supercharged 2006 Coupe Build Thread

    If you've been doing that to the 6060, and only just now broke 2nd, it's nice to know how well built these are.

    Just listed in classifieds 2008 black vert $49,900

    Agreed, priced WAY low, even if higher mileage.

    Bumble Bee Left Factory...

    That looks awesome. If I had the coin, that version would look great parked to my 2007 SRT8 Superbee. Those two together! Unfortunately, I'd have to let the Charger, Viper, and both testicles, plus cash, to get a Gen V!

    $65K

    Exactly what he said. Plus, my 10 year old Gen 3 is about the same perfomance-wise as a new base 'Vette, and the Gen 4 will smack it!

    Currently own an ISF, convince me to get a SRT-10...

    I have a 2003 32,000 miles. I bought it in April 2010 with 23,000 miles on it. First thing I did was change out the runflats to PS2s. I do take the car out in the winter, IF the road is clear and DRY, every couple weeks, simply because sitting for long periods is not good for any car. However, I...

    thinking of selling 2010 acr

    I live in suburban Philly, and yes, if I get a winter day where the roads are clear and dry, I will get it out and SLOWLY take it for a short drive. Yes, the PS2s are like rocks, but if you don't do anything stupid.... I don't believe in letting cars sit for long periods. This is my...

    Who has removed sun visors?

    My 03 already had had them removed by the previous owner when I bought it. Honestly, I didn't even really notice them missing. Do it.

    Old Men Seem to Own Vipers, Why???

    I'm about to turn 50, and I know and hang with Vipers peeps (and other car guys: Fcars, Pcars, Vettes, Lotus) from 20s to much older than me. We have a lot to talk about, and much in common. Other comments are correct though, Vipers are expensive cars, even uses, and an older demographic tends...

    Has ESC been a success in avoiding deer?

    Same situation in my 2003 with PS2s. I just know that it's probably gonna happen, so I'm ready. Hopefully, people with ESC wont let the car do their thinking for them. I can get the ESC to kick in in my 425 hp SRT8, so I cant imagine a Gen 5!

    Viper production slowed by one third due to sluggish sales

    I agree. The local McLaren dealer brings a car to our C&C every weekend. The local Dodge dealer with a Launch Edition on his floor for months now, does not.

    Value of 08 coupe?

    I agree with this. Dead on.

    Saying bye and giving an apology

    No need to be a stranger here. We hope you still participate. Good luck with the 'Vette, I love Corvettes. I gotta tell you, I'm waiting to see what the new Z06/7 is going to be like. Think it's going to give the Viper a real run for it. Still rather have the Snake though! Scott

    2005 vs 2006 horsepower

    This is correct, the standards became tougher, and more accurate. Some imports "lost" while some domestics "gained".

    Excessive Oil Consumption?

    I was at my dealer a couple weeks ago (for a car show). In speaking to the Viper tech there (who services my 03 and my 07 SRT8 Charger), he mentioned that they were dealing with a customer's Gen V (not purchased there) which as waaay down on oil, with only a coupl thousand miles. They think it...

    2013 SRT Viper Hot Lap! - 2013 Best Driver's Car Contender

    Exactly! I just found it amusing that the thread was so similar to here. By the way, it's nice to see that they really do consider us Viper owners as true "bretheren" now that we're all Fiat. Just like l consider Ferraris Mopars now! LOL.

    2013 SRT Viper Hot Lap! - 2013 Best Driver's Car Contender

    If it's any consolation, the F12 guys over on FerrariChat are going through this now. MT just give the 911 the nod over the F12. The Fchat guys are even siting the Viper/ZR1 example as another MT miss! The thread over there could have been the same as over here!

    I ran against a Porsche 911 Turbo S today.

    Agreed. In this market, you MUST have a transmission that can compete. As much as I love shifting (both in my 03Viper and my 13 Dart) if the Gen V had this option (and I could afford one, LOL!) I would have to VERY seriously consider my transmission options. In the end, I'd probably stick with...

    Feeling Guilty

    I'm sorry to say, I had to have Peeka put to sleep today. We discovered another issue, a malignancy on her liver, and she worsened very quickly two days ago. Everyone give your four-legged critters some love tonight.

    Feeling Guilty

    As someone who has been present, and then elected not to be, with 3 cats now, I can't blame you in the least. I had to have my cat Boo put to sleep last April. I said my goodbye to him, and let my vet handle him with care during his final moments. You did the right thing, and nothing to feel...

    Woo Hoo! Just picked up a long time desired GEN 3. Lots of dumb questions to follow

    Re: Woo Hoo! Just picked up a long time desired GEN 3. Lots of dumb questions to foll My drivers door latch mechanism on my 03 went flaky a year ago. Door wouldn't shut and latch, no matter what I did. I had to use a tie down to hold the door shut to get it to the dealer. The whole latch and...

    Is it true? Gen I more reliable than Gen III?

    Man...the Gen V can't catch a break (Another bad video review)

    "But, as it stands now, I look at the C7 as a wife that looks "ok" but is really good at cooking and taking care of the house. I see the Gen 5 as a wife that looks like a super model, is super sexy but has no clue in the kitchen....thankfully she knows how to make reservations." This is the...

    I agree. Good bang for the buck though. I'm NOT giving up my Gen 3!

    Man...the Gen V can't catch a break (Another bad video review)

    The new base C7 is looking to be a fantastic car. Unlike many here, I like Corvettes, and I think this one is a winner. Will out-perform my Gen 3. As NineBall said, I'd like to have both...too bad I can't afford it!
