    '08 Viper has landed!

    If you love your '05 with runflats, you'll be amazed at the difference when you add PS2's with R compound. Partsrack should be able to help you. I really believe I could've saved my '05 if I hadn't been riding on runflats--not an excuse, but an after-action evaluation. Those tires on the back...

    My 08 Blue/White Convertible just arrived!

    You made a good exchange, IMHO. You'll love the convert in spring and fall, and at night during the summer. Maybe you'll have an Indian spring (warm spell in midwinter). :)

    '08 Viper has landed!

    Thanks, Julie! The car is faster than my '05 with full Bellanger system (486rwhp/511rwt). And the Pilot Sport 2's are supremely more wondermous than the runcraps. The car no longer picks up the highway ruts left in the asphalt by the 18 wheelers. How wonderful is that!?!:drive:

    I've added (we'll see if it works) one of the photos as my avatar so I won't be accused of being a "poser". :)

    2008 Gen 3? 3.5? 4?

    Dodge officially recognizes it as a Gen. IV. Who are we to say otherwise? We never did that before, and I've all four gens. Geezzzzzz.

    '08 Viper has landed!

    there are the 11 photos in the gallery. I just can't, even with instructions from a fellow Viper member, insert them. Joe, are you up to doing it again? Or anyone else, please. Thanks, everybody. She really is sweet.:drive:

    '08 Viper has landed!

    That sounds like a plan. Maybe we can go out to airline hwy. to Thunder Racing for a dyno test of each. Shane will need to schedule us in advance. We can establish a true baseline for all those guys who want this done PDQ. :)

    Great comparo of GEN3 vert and C6Z06

    He will like the precision and refinement in the '08, along with the increase in power and smooth, accurate shifting and drivability. I sure do.....

    My 08 Blue/White Convertible just arrived!

    Timmer, my car is like yours, an '08 blue/white convert, and everyone who passes (and notices cars) gives me a big grin or a shout. You'll love the car more than the passers by love it, which is considerable. I've only got 227 miles on mine, but there's tomorrow. Down in S.E. Louisiana we...

    Are you guys calling the new car the Gen III.5?

    After driving my blue/white '08 convert for more than 200 miles, I'm calling it a gen IV. It is so much different from my '05 that, aside from exterior appearances, there is enough change to merit calling it a gen. IV. If others don't know which way to call it, they need to drive the car...

    '08 Viper has landed!

    SRT2, has your car arrived yet? I have more than 200 miles on mine, and am I thankful that we don't have snow or ice to contend with! This car is absolutely wonderful. You're gonna love it, unless you already have it and are already loving it :). Wille da P. can bring you up to date as well as...

    Need Info From Guys 1/4 Mile Runs 2008

    Only 150 miles on mine. We have had lots of rain, and another front will be here in a few hours. Patience my friends. All things come to those who wait on the Lord. My Viper came, and my quarter mile bursts are on the horizon. I'm more IMpatient that you are, though. :)

    Surprised by lack of buzz over the 08

    Re: No longer Surprised by lack of buzz over great 08 Rocket62, this is for you::drive: He awakened from slumber with a deep-sounding growl, like a big ole rotweiller's bellowing howl. But quickly he purred , as I cautiously backed outward, almost like a puppy the rotweiller cowared. Into...

    08 vipers are enroute!

    Re: 08 vipers are enroute, and driving great to boot! I'm telling you, this thing drives with the greatest precision I've ever enjoyed. The next best was my '96 GTS, then the GenI, then-due to the runcraps-the '05. Any of you guys running runcraps-MHO-should try running a set of the P.S. II's...

    I'm not driving mine to redline, or over 4K rpm's, until I have 500 miles on the odo and an oil change. Give us some time and we'll find out!!!!

    Surprised by lack of buzz over the 08

    Drummer, while there has been a recent downturn in posts about the '08s, I can tell you-after owning a '94, a '96 GTS, an '05 SRT convert, and now the '08 blue/white (see gallery), that there is NO DOUBT whatsoever that this '08 is the best shifting, best running, best handling, best driving...

    Winterizing a Viper

    In S.E. Louisiana I've found that the best winterization is done with both feet, one on the loud pedal and one on the Whoa! pedal. Sorry about you guys who live in the ice and snow. I don't think I could live in that environment! Best of luck to you in preserving your special autos.

    '08 Viper has landed!

    Sorry I couldn't clean the car better, but I had oral surgery this morning, and took the photos this afternoon. My red 300G is in the background in the carport. Thanks to Joseph Dell for posting my photos from the gallery! This car is awesome, folks. Try one and you'll like it a LOT.
