    When will '08 production begin?

    Does anyone know, and can tell us, when production of the '08 Viper will begin? Any idea of the order of production of the 3 colors will be produced this fall? Thanks!

    Mopar Performance Exhaust for 2003-2005 - Free

    I have a free set to anyone who will pick it up in Louisiana, off a 2005 convert. I, too, went with the Bellanger system and now my car has been totalled, so I'll never need the Gen III setup. I won't ship, however. I'm in S.E. LA, if anyone wants the manifolds and exhausts.

    Insurance Adjustor Trying To Give Me 36k For Totaled Acr??!

    I also don't want to hijack the thread, but I'm having trouble getting fair market value for my totalled 2005 SRT10 Viper convert with USAA. By all means call Jon Brobst at Partsrack. He co-authored the Viper Buyer's Guide, and he said the $57189 they offered me was way low. They figured $64000...

    170/180 degree thermostat

    Remember where you live, in Florida. That's a warm place to drive a Viper. I live in S.E. Louisiana, and never had trouble with the 170 degree thermostat.

    08 wheels questions

    It is a matter of taste, but I like the 5 spoke better than the other 2 choices. If you don't like any of them, there's always the aftermarket to look to.

    Uncomfortable Seats

    My gen. II had an inflatable lumbar adjustment which I "sorely" (pun intended) missed in my Gen III. I added a small foam lumbar support and the seat was much better. I love everything else about the seats, but the lumbar support is a cheap feature which even Dakotas and Durangos have. This...

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    Yes mam, we are going to fly up and drive home. My baby daughter bought her Charger R/T with Road and Track suspension and 5.7 L engine, but with SRT8 hood and airfoil. We have had good experiences with Bill, so I'm looking forward to getting the new b/w. I hear that CAP is not going to begin...

    Your First Car?

    1948 Dodge 4 door with suicide doors in back, straight flathead six, radio and instant-on heater (gasoline in the passenger compartment) and 3 on the tree fluid drive. You could stop at a redlight without even putting in the clutch, and could take off in 3rd gear like a VERY slow automatic. It...

    08' on order!

    I was told by my dealer that my blue/white should be here in October or possibly November. I'm praying for the months of October/November to arrive earlier this year than usual :-)

    Viper Tech

    Oops, his last name is Annaloro-harder to spell than "Jones". Try him; you'll like him. He works out of his own home garage for Very reasonable sums, and can get Bellanger headers/exhausts (and other items) at a much-reduced price ($3,895 retail for entire Bellanger exhaust kit, but he can save...

    Prayers for Gary....

    Gary, I know how you felt when you were so badly hurt, but wanted to know about "the Viper." I had a highway accident with my car, fracturing my sternum and L2 vertebra, but while on the ambulance stretcher my question was, "How's the Viper?" Well, mine was totalled, but I'll soon have a...

    What rwhp and rwt does a stock '05 Viper make if

    486rwhp/507rwt with DC reflash. The VEC3 made 490/525, but crapped out and wouldn't run right afterwards. By then I had been to FL and to GA for tuning, so a 3rd trip tuning wouldn't fit my wife's idea of a "good time" trip. I sent the replacement VEC3 back for a full refund and replaced it...

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    Bill P. has my blue/white convert on order, and I have the serial number in hand. I'll fly in to Omaha with my bride of 41 years, spend the night at Woodhouse's generosity, and be picked up by Woodhouse's driver the following morning for the 30 mile ride to Blair, NE. Talk about a sleepless...

    Roanoke or Woodhouse?

    Yeah, you're right: Omaha. I've never been there, but my LSU tiger baseball team has. Thanks for correcting me.

    Roanoke or Woodhouse?

    Roanoke wanted MSRP, while Bill P. at Woodhouse made a better deal. Plus, when we fly into Tulsa, Woodhouse pays the motel bill and sends a driver to pick us up and drive us to Blair to pickup our '08 blue/white. We live in S.E. Louisiana, so the choice was easy: Woodhouse!

    Sep. 15, 2007 VCA vs. Corvette Club of VA "Horsepower Challenge," Richmond, VA

    Please accept the Viper Club's compliments on your willingness to benefit these wonderful children. If I weren't driving a Viper, I'd be driving a Corvette; I have owned 3 of each, and they are all great cars. As to the 800 h.p., please don't be offended if Joe Dell and some others can degrade...

    Excuses for the Viper's lack of horsepower wanted by Corvette Club of Virginia

    Howard, Charles is in need of some immediate knowledge so he won't be too embarassed to show up next year, so tell him you don't know how many Vipers make only 800 h.p., but Joe Dell is making at least 1,500rwhp with twin turbos. Of course, his car is almost stock, so there may be some making...

    Gen IV hits afterburner --- 95+ in second gear!!!

    So YOU get to drive one, but tell ME to wait until October. Why can that be? Please rush my order into September (this year) so I can hyperbole all over myself....

    Another (great) 2008 Review

    What about 63 year olds? I grew older, but I never grew "up". I'm as excited as you younger guys. My '08 is on order: GTS blue with white stripes and 5 spoke wheels. See you at the track!

    My Acr Was Totaled Last Night!

    Take off the headers, catbacks, and everything not "stock", but replace the old OEM stuff and don't tell the insurance co. what you've done. They only paid me $200 for new Bellanger complete exhaust system. I'll call Jon B tomorrow and get his advice.

    PM's 2008 Review

    Look more closely and you'll see that the bottom of the grill surround closes in a little at the corners. This effect added to the new hood scoop and louvers make the car sleeker and more meanacing at the same time, in MHO.

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    My vendor was exceptionally fair and nice about the ordeal with the "bad" VEC3, and fully refunded my purchase price. After a DC reflash, the car dynoed 486rwhp/507 rwt. Before I returned the VEC3, Joseph Dell had previously gotten the VEC3 up to 490rwhp/525 rwt, but then the VEC3 imploded and...

    Hand Held Programmers

    Dan, do you plan to make a program for the '08? If so, when? I'm a customer of yours and have a new convert on order, so I'd like to be on your list, too. Reggie
