    Watch out for the new E15 gasoline.

    Seems the manufacturers want no part of E15 either. The ethanol gasoline blend known as E10 has already caused concern and hesitation, especially among owners of vehicles not designed to run the fuel, and despite the mounting questions over its use, the Environmental Protection Agency last...

    IMHO the Viper has lost it's way

    I never should have sold my Sapphire ACR:( That car was bold and brash and had loads of low end grunt. Hopefully I don't end up being like one of those bitter old guys that laments selling his prized 1970 Hemi 'Cuda back in the day:omg:

    IMHO the Viper has lost it's way

    I have been back and forth about buying another Viper and have come to the opinion that our latest Viper has lost some of it's original appeal to me. When it first came out the huge V10 provided boatloads of low end torque, and it pretty much stayed that way on through the Gen 3's. With the...

    08 GTS blue with white strips at Serramonte Nissan in Bay area.

    Great deal on that car even with the "aftermarket" stripes. Cooincidently, the high mileage one just showed up on Ebay today.

    New Unsold 09s

    And that's why they sit on dealer's lots 3 years later.

    Mecum

    So, what would a 1 of 8 "performance package" VOI9's + it's also an Aero car + factory H spokes with only 1000 miles be worth?

    Delivery Delays

    I'm surprised that nobody picked up on this quote- "As few as 100 showrooms are expected to carry the car when the apparent production slowdowns are settled" That tells me that many owners worst fear will become reality. Quality service will not be even remotely convenient for a large...

    Why is there no mention of SRT in this story?

    I thought the whole purpose of splitting off SRT was to offer the "high end" experience? They've got to step up in a hurry. Oh, and respect to the no test drive issue I totally agree. Heck, I've had an Audi dealership drop off a new A8L at my house so I could test drive it. And when I've...

    Latest from Edmunds. Dyno test.

    Now we're talking "low-end" grunt!

    Isn't this what a ROE supercharged Gen 2 graph looks like?

    Why is there no mention of SRT in this story?

    I guarantee you that all the "conquest & convert" buyers SRT are targeting are paying attention to these issues:dunno: By: Diana T. Kurylko, Automotive News on 1/02/201 Luxury vehicle buyers want service -- not just repairs done right, but the kind of pampering they get at high-end hotels...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    As a multiple Gen 2, 3 and 4 owner I am fine with Pobst's opinion of the car. Unfortunately for Fiat, they have tried to position the Gen V as a "kinder/gentler" Viper in order to appeal to the Porsche and Audi crowd. Having the first big test basically tell everyone that the Viper is still a...

    Monday we find out who is faster at Laguna Seca, ZR1 or Gen V

    The problem with this scenario is that you no longer have the same track conditions, and even if they bring the "same" car there will be people who suspect some extra factory tweaking before the retry. Everybody always wants to see "same day/same driver" comparisons, yet when a magazine finally...

    Good Video of a Yellow GTS

    Right in my back yard and I missed it.:mad:

    Leasing Options...For Gen V?!?

    Not true. The advantage of leasing is that you don't pay the whole sales tax bill up front. That means a lower payoff if you decide to sell. Just don't expect to pay an ADM and then get out within just a year. That being said, you will have to wholesale the car at that point, so you need a...

    Viper at LA auto show

    For those that have gone to the LA show, are they letting us sit in the car? I plan on bringing my VCA card to see if I can schmooze my way into one if they're not.

    E85 as an Octane Booster

    Looks like the risks outweigh the benefits. The American Automobile Association is asking the EPA to suspend sales of E15 gasoline because a survey of its members found that 95 percent of them don’t know what it is and could unknowingly damage their cars as a result. E15, a mix of 85 percent...

    Leasing Options...For Gen V?!?

    I asked Bill Pemberton about this and he checked with his finance guy. As of about 3 weeks ago, nothing was available yet. That could, and would most likely change though as there is no real financial reason for Ally not to offer a lease on them.

    2010 Voodoo ACR sells for $80,300

    Bid up to $87,500 He had a $100k reserve set on it. Had he dropped his reserve to the max bid he would have only netted $2000 profit after sellers commission, and that assumes he avoided any sales tax on his original purchase. It was only a great deal if he wanted to keep it for himself or...

    Eight new Vipers at Sonoma Raceway!

    What's up with the front chin on the 96 B&W? Is it just the angle, 'cause something's just not right about it.

    2014 ACR on the Top Gear Test Track

    You can easily tell it's a game by how twitchy the car looked coming out of corners and such. The real deal will be much better planted!

    The GEN V Viper Mopar motherload from SEMA.

    I don't understand why they displayed it up in the air like that:dunno: SEMA is known for low and mean looking cars, not fully suspended suspensions:rolaugh:

    2013 stripe option

    After looking over the pics again, I'm really disappointed that they're charging so much for the SRT stripes. They are very simple, basically only applied on flat surfaces, and compared to previous stripes should be a piece of cake to lay down. Yet they're charging nearly 30% more- looks like a...
