    And the winner is!!

    Granger fair point. I'm glad you were not swayed by the negative postings made on the hellcat forums, mopar forums, and other Viper sites. While I think I clearly took blame for the main causes for slow sales (price/prize) we have to assume that those not as intimately familiar with the BS...

    And the winner is!!

    Map- Unfortunately in the fine print that I know no one likes to read it said that if we didn't sell enough tickets, it becomes 50/50 and the 2/3rd prices vacate. So yes, that's what happened. The reality is not enough tickets were sold, there are many reasons for this, some within our...

    Michelin Pilot Super Sports vs Sport AS/3

    LOL, thanks for the laugh Allan. What a complicated drive that would be. I'd fire that tire installer, same tire, just a different name, SURE! And Vettes are the same as Vipers, just a different name, promise.

    And the winner is!!

    Wow, its amazing how physically large amounts like that are in real life. Just goes to show you when you see a movie and they have "millions" in a small duffle, its full of crap like most of hollywood. Makes me think I should take a few paychecks in all cash and act like a balla. All fun and...

    And the winner is!!

    UPDATE! Diamond hit the nail on the head. Wendell has secured the VCA allocation for the Hellcat and is using his winnings towards that. Talk about a smart guy, parlays $200 into 40k, ~75k to 100k (the street value of a HC). $65k in profit is a nice days work. Look for happy photos from a...

    And the winner is!!

    The drawing occurred at 1PM today, in Michigan, by Bob (our attorney) and Bill White. I am happy to announce that a fellow Texan won with ticket #1296. I just got off the phone with the winner at 1:15pm, and can now tell the world... We didn't have enough tickets for a Hellcat, (we have a few...

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    I think ViperSpeciality hit it right. I know of many who are moving onto other marques that are somewhat similar in price. I also agree with Bob that the new buyers aren't typically "die hard" viper faithful. That said, we have 1-3 events a month here in NTX, we had some issues with the...

    I have had enough with these battery/charging system issues

    Good find, it is pretty tight in there, and I bet this happens quite often... i will say, all my Vipers are on battery tenders, they just don't get driven long enough, often enough, for me to keep them going without them...

    Jake- Apologies, I'm not sure how you've been trying to get a hold of some one, but this is the first CJ (or I) have heard of this. Thanks for the post, am sending you an email right now. Thanks! Greg

    How the heck does this happen

    Now wait a darn minute! I said "I wonder if that looks like a poser" was referring to ME, as it was ME with all the Viper crap driving a Jeep (or Jag, Or Fiat)! I have no freaking clue who you are!? How would I ever say you were a poser?! I was ACTUALLY slyly siding with you, as the...

    Membership

    I wasn't going to say this, but frankly, we are not happy about where this path has led us, hence the lack of transparency. We had 3200 members, now collectively we have 1000 less (and from what I hear it may BE WAY less in reality). Rather than patting ourselves on the back, we need to get...

    How the heck does this happen

    You just gained a lot of points in my book. WD is my favorite show, and now I need to get one to wear at our next event. I wonder if people aver think that of me, I wear viper crap all the time, but don't drive my viper all the time, wonder if that looks like a poser... But heck I certainly...

    How the heck does this happen

    I was leaving the MOPAR distributorship this weekend in my Gen4. A BRAND new (paper plate) challenger rolls up next to me, rolls down his window and asks "what kind of car is that" I laughed right, as we get that question all the time. He said "seriously" I said you can't be serious. I told...

    Add to the list...

    If it's the same system in my SRT jeep it's VERY sensitive. Literally 1 pound or less less than it requires (get this ALL the time). So in the jeep, it requires 33 (or 32), and when it hits 32, it sends the warning. Heck one time it was AT that threshold, and still gave it (as it was 32.5).

    VPA Announcement

    LOL except when I post there it's deleted immediately. So "free" speech is not entirely true "free speech that we agree with because it's anti-VCA" is allowed whole-hardheartedly. I stated the reasons for the deletion, as Granger's post highlight's, Chris is opening a can of worms I believe he...

    Membership

    We ended last year with 1102 members (paid up). We are at 851, and a few more in queue from the weekend plus a few more regional conversions that might come over in the next few months. Not bad when you consider the lack of local presence. Terrible, when you consider the club had over 3200...

    VPA Announcement

    All past presidents get a lifetime membership. Believe me, it is a very small gesture for a very difficult job. It's in the by-laws, and really can't be retroactively un-done. Other's have stated they "opt-out", which is a possibility here. I'm not a fan of censorship, but Chris' comments...

    VPA Announcement

    All- Bob is right, Jerry was informed in Dec 2013 by Dan that while we appreciate all he had done for the VPA, he would no longer be needed on the board. Herb resigned prior to that. So with the new VCA board takeover, everyone previously on the VPA board was gone. Jerry- We do...

    VPA Announcement

    LOL, now that was funny... I agree with all that! rant begins: I agree with Dirk. Something has happened, where somehow, people think opinions are more relevant than they once were . Perhaps its because we have 100 different ways to express ourselves, and people get this sense of belief that...

    For the first time in 12 years.....

    Holy crap, a 12 year battery. NEVER had a battery last more than 5 in TX, you da man.

    8.5 mpg city? or about 120 miles per tank city?

    That sounds pretty low for "normal" city driving. What I would do, is go to an event that's a cruise, and fill up with everyone else and see where you sit during the route. I did this and it pointed to a really jacked up rear end as I was getting literally 30% less miles than everyone else.

    Looking to join the ranks

    Everyone here is spot on. These cars are pretty much bulletproof, gen 2 and up is recommended. There are little piddly things that can be nightmares if you get one that was not loved as Sybil says. I'd stay away from a track car as well. Some parts are hard to get some not so hard (as they...
