    Viper PURIST, what is the line/definitiion

    Anybody else worried about 1st year production issues?

    Although I never experienced this window issue on either my 2005 or 2008, it appears from SRT's post that it was a known issue that was likely caused by damage from improper installation at the plant. If that were the case I can't understand why it has not been addressed. It is precisely these...

    I hate the press

    From an Autoweek story: Dear Sergio: Your company was building cars making close to this sort of power a decade ago. Will you not apply some of that knowledge to help your American arm stomp the brassy boys from Dearborn? Did not, after all, Ol' Shel help you midwife the Viper, only to turn...

    Bill, didn't both you and Mark sell your Vipers recently?? It's no wonder you'll me make this offer:D

    I hate the press

    What a bunch of tools :rolleyes: The new GT500 (now officially at 662HP) is powered by a supercharged 6.8-liter V8 that Ford claims is the most powerful V8 production engine in the world, outgunning both the 638 hp Corvette ZR1 and upcoming SRT Viper with its measly 640 hp V10. Read more...

    Anybody else worried about 1st year production issues?

    I agree. :hello: Are you listening SRT? It's the least they could do considering how "their previous masters" screwed him over during the "consolidation":mad:

    Anybody else worried about 1st year production issues?

    With so many changes to the new Viper I'm a little worried that there are going to be some major issues. With a bunch of new subcontractors supplying the paintwork, block, oil pan, front cover, valve cover, exhaust manifolds and likely dozens other parts I'd be surprised if it all comes together...

    Production rate

    That would be the most they've ever sold in a year. I hope they can maintain the quality controls that their targeted market audience will demand.

    Trade in value?

    And he's going to get low balled by a bunch of private buyers as well. Just the nature of the transaction.

    SRT Viper #001 to be sold for charity, How much?

    Sad, but true. The Viper just doesn't have the following of the others. I'm guessing only around $150K or so:smirk: Just look at what a 98 GTS-R brings - lately they've been want to pull much over $80K. And, don't even bring up the dismal showings for super rare '92's:dunno:

    DC Performance closed : <(

    I'm sure Dan will land of his feet, and hopefully soon (and still in SoCal:). He did a full check up on my recently purchased GTS a few months before I purchased it, and to be honest that was one of the main reasons I bought it. I knew it had been gone through very professionally. Make sure...

    Is the ACR name and big-asp wing officially dead?

    I'm surprised that they have not released this info. They heavily touted it with the Gen4.

    Is the ACR name and big-asp wing officially dead?

    The "Track package" has the Stoptechs, stickies, and lightweight wheels, but no extra Aero. I guess Chrysler has once again killed "The Winged Warrior" ala Superbird style:(

    Excellent article on the new Viper

    So, was Hennessey a design consultant on the front end?

    I know the new Viper's chin is a way of incorporating aero into the front end, but it just seems a bit exagerated and "shovel-nosed" to me. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    97 B/W GTS or 2002 FE or 2010 Coupe/ACR
