    Gen IV Coupe?

    I think the Astons are the best looking cars available right now. BUT, where do they go with their styling? All the models look almost identical. Even the Rapide show car.

    Can you guess where I was last week?

    I didn't have the time to take a Viper factory tour! Just a drive by. It was still fun to see the area where my car was built. Michigan is FLAT. I was expecting more hills for some reason. The weather was HOT. Same temp when I left South Carolina as it was in southern Michigan and northern Ohio...

    Can you guess where I was last week?

    Rons guess: #1 - Look west down the Black River from the Military Street bridge. The bank is on your left, Zebra Bar and bowling alley is on your right and you can barely see parts of the 7th Street bridge in the background. In mid-July they have the Port Huron to Mackinac sailboat race...

    who's has used "low profile spring caps?"

    Re: who\'s has used I can repeat the BE CAREFUL posts above. While changing out the left rear spring cap one of the compressors slipped. IF MY FINGERS HAD BEEN IN THERE..... We are talking about explosive force. It can be done (I finished the other three) but you should make sure the...

    My car doesn't stop leaking oil....

    Re: My car doesn\'t stop leaking oil.... 24,000 miles and when I looked under my car, it is STILL perfect. Never even a sign of one drop. I hate it that they can't find something to fix on your car. Whatever they've been doing ain't right. Lemon laws in Canada?

    Quality at CAAP

    Luc, point taken. Fred, I didn't think my comments sounded negative. I think the Conner Ave guys (and girls) do a superb job with the resources they have. The ASC guys also produce a top quality paint job.

    Quality at CAAP

    I've been to almost every automotive plant in Germany and hundreds of component suppliers. The assembly departments are 99% humans. Maybe a glass or seat install robot or two, but that's it. The plants (DC, GM and Ford) I've visited are the same. I don't know about Lexus, Toyota, Nissan, Kia...

    Quality at CAAP

    I enjoy the comments from the intellectual giants that criticize engineering design and also those who blame CAAP quality control for actions at dealerships. Maybe we should compare notes? My entire career has been: Automotive Quality. In simple terms, if a 'craftsperson' cannot make a...

    Quality at CAAP

    Re: Quality at CAAP-Give me a answer 90% of quality problems are due to poor design.

    At first I thought Z06 'blue devil' also. Then I looked at the height of the hood. It's above the fender line. Vettes usually have the DRLs on, this doesn't. The windshield is too short and low for a vette. There's a bra and a blackout tape over the headlight. Hmmm. Looks like the Gen III...

    who's has used "low profile spring caps?"

    Re: who\'s has used We've been through this before. No complaints? Everytime an 'inexpensive' way to lower the SRT-10 thread is posted, eventually someone chimes in to say thier rear shocks blew out due to limited travel. Then some moneybags chime in to say way don't you cheap bastards just...

    Charlotte area Vipers.

    I was clueless, and I live less than 90 miles from Charlotte. What's the ballpark $$ for a twin turbo setup on an SRT-10?

    Amazing production stats. Opinions?

    The numbers come from Automotive News magazine. It's interesting to see that the Conner ave plant can produce more Vipers in a week than Ford GTs, but with all the shutdowns, the total numbers are much lower. I think adding Firepower! production to the assembly line will have a great effect on...
