The cars of the future are here in many respects. Hybrids, flexfuel, micro cars with exciting commercials are invading the USA. I read that despite using lighter materials and better alloys, cars are actually 300-400 lbs heavier on average because of all added safety equipment and features...
40% restrictor and 100lbs extra. :rolleyes: Why not just forget qualifying and have the Vipers start out a lap behind and work their way to the front. :p
Very nice post and congrats on your white/blue RT/10. The harder you work to get a dream car the more you appreciate it. I bet your coworkers and boss treat you differently now as do mine? Love that color combo combined with open air driving! :2tu:
Dealmaker, My best friend went to Cortland for college and we had some good times at the Darkhorse and block parties back in the early 1990's.
NICE Looking ACR! :2tu:
Bravo, Where exactly are you in the finger lakes area?
Under 10k miles is for most people almost as good as new. Even if it has been beat on by the original owners, the car and engine especially are designed to handle <(some)> punishment. In reality condition is more important of course and have a Viper tech check out the car if possible...
I think that the Chrysler division has big potential for GM if managed right. The Pacifica and 300 models are selling and the redesign of the Stratus looks promising. If GM is allowed to grow, after trimming the fat in Chrysler management, it will be larger than ever. That will give GM more...
I do my own oil and brakes if needed. At first I only did oil because it was cheaper and easy. I started doing brakes after a certain mechanic named Shane at Monroe Muffler stole my money. He rigged my brakes and charged me. :evilmad:
Within 1 week in the snow I had brake failure and...
Re: Feeler - 03 Supercharged 522\"
I feel for you on this sale. That is a well tuned and beautiful low mileage Gen III that you spent thousands to get just right. The downside is that the pool of prospective buyers is much smaller than if it was stock. Unfortunatly any buyer will assume...

Actually DrDJ, I have a 1997 Chevy Blazer with over 100k. The brakes started acting up. The ABS was malfunctioning somehow because at times the Blazer would all of a sudden vibrate weirdly and take forever to stop...
It is true that more hp means more responsibility but TC is an overcomplex techno gizmo like ABS that can and will fail in the long term life of a car.
Thinking twice when you drive your Viper after reading this post is the best comment I have heard so far. :2tu: Learning from posts such...
Toyota FJ cruiser? You gotta be kidding me. I never heard of a production Toyota ever being a classic so why would this one be? Audi TT, Mini Cooper, and Scions may build dedicated car clubs but like the MG Midget will never appreciate in real value. Acura NSX, possibly one of the first...
Viperbob, glad you and wife are OK! Accidents happen even when driving sober and that is what insurance is for because it really is a jungle on the roadways. Hope you get baxk on the road ASAP!
F355, let's not go there with TC again.
It's JMHO that it is ridiculous to price a car more because it has a hard top as opposed to a convertible. Historically it has been the opposite with most other car companies. I feel that this is more of a correction in pricing. I am not arguing that at $90k that the Viper is not a huge perf...
Roe Racing has a 2 pin kit that is so far doing the job for me after my damper fell off. I wonder if the Gen IV engine at NAIAS has a key or a pin from the factory?

I can almost guarantee that this OBD III tech will be abused by whomever can to gain an advantage at what they do. Monitoring tailpipe emisions are a very weak reason to intrude on privacy and liberty. Too many...
Re: 08\' Viper, Gallardo, or keep what I have?
In looking at the original question asked, I would have a hard time going from both a ROE 1998 GTS and a 1993 to trade in for just 1 car. My suggestion would to pick your favorite to keep and get either the Gallardo or 2008 Viper.
Re: Impact of \'08 Viper on Gen 3 resale value
If I was in the market for my 1st Viper, I would be all over the remaining brand new 04's-06's. Unreal deals you get when next version comes out. Let's not forget that the Gen III V-10 will be the last low tech low compression engine that will...
Seeing so many parting pics of that beautiful ride definitly indicates buyer remorse. Education for your son comes first of course and you definitly are making the right decision. Hope to see you in another Viper again ASAP!
With the higher CR, larger displacement, and improved engine airflow, I would have expected 650-700 hp easy. My guess is that DC had to use V V T and electronic throttle bodies to limit the power to meet emissions. I would bet that reprogramming will yield monstrous results.
I am very...
