    Ouch!!!! Anybody Here ?

    I would hope that a VCA member/enthusiast would be smart enough not to let a 16 year old drive their Viper.

    MY 2014

    A retractable hardtop with it's weight and complexity is the antithesis of all that is Viper IMHO. A targa top on the other hand would be bitchin' cool.

    A Gen IV hood would be my first priority.

    Damn. That's a floppy hole you got there.

    Seven Gen Vs At Once!

    This one obviously has the $7500 mismatched wheel set.

    Delivery Delays

    I would be fine with pointing out that the new car is more luxurious and 'refined' than the previous generations, but when he says that the new CUSTOMER is a 'very, very interesting demographic — much higher income, much higher education levels. The customer is becoming more sophisticated' it...

    The definition of sophisticated is a tent to work under on cold rainy days. Sausage biscuits help too.

    First poor sales transaction on the forums.

    Re: First poor sales transaction on the forums. 08viperviolet The fact that the seller did not post pictures of the actual item, instead using stock pics off of a website makes me question his motives.

    First poor sales transaction on the forums.

    Re: First poor sales transaction on the forums. 08viperviolet Then again, exactly how much lighter the CF piece than one made of good ol' plastic? The CF is for looks only.

    What shift light are you guys using? ---

    Lol, thanks. I was just coasting to a stop in traffic. It bounces around a bit and I just caught it on the high end in the pic. Runs mid-10 to 11 under boost.

    What shift light are you guys using? ---

    Yep, 5400rpm. By the time my 48 year old neurons recognize the light and scream "SHIFT!!!" to my right arm, I just beat the fuel cut off. Works for me. I drilled the column cover, but got a spare ($25. It's the same as a '96 Dakota IIRC) so I can go back to stock for Barrett-Jackson 2030.

    WOW 1st Corvette sells for MUCH more than 1st Gen 5 Viper!

    C7 looked great last night. I don't think the price comparison means much. The bidding was also partially driven by the $4.2 million dollar sale of the Batmobile immediately before.

    Historic Tags? Benefits? Worth it?

    Yes, but only at a rate of 1¢ per $100 as opposed to $4.57 per $100 for non-antiques. Since my CJ has a KBB value of about $1.25 that makes the tax negligible. On a side note, VA has a very low overall tax burden (43rd in the US as I recall), so even though they ding us on the cars, we make up...

    Historic Tags? Benefits? Worth it?

    No such requirements here in VA, the car just has to be 25 model years old. Getting around inspections was one of the main reasons I went that direction. After I replaced the crappy Carter 2bbl carburetor with a 50 state legal Mopar fuel injection setup, it would no longer pass a visual...

    Historic Tags? Benefits? Worth it?

    I'm across the Potomac from you in Virginia and have my Jeep CJ-7 registered as an antique. Like you I drive it constantly in the Summer. The Virginia law says you can drive to and from car shows, mechanical testing, and 'the occasional pleasure drive'. First off I have never been hassled, but I...
