    Which order will they paint the three colors?

    Thanks, wallbanger. Do you understand they will paint all 3 colors simultaneously or consecutively paint one, then the next,and then the last of the 3 (dark red, green and GTS blue)? If consecutively, what is the sequence, if anyone knows?

    Which order will they paint the three colors?

    C'mon, guys, do any of you know which ones they will finish first? If that's already been posted I haven't found it after searching. I think the stripes slow them down, but don't know if my blue/white will be first or last produced. Anyone here know? Thanks!

    Rollbar

    Will the new rollbar from autoform, the one without the rearview-blocking cross bar, protect the occupants in case of a rollover? I'm not worried about NHRA. I'm worried about highway hazards. Thanks.

    What Would You Do If Your Son Got A Ticket For 80+ In A 25 MPH Zone?

    Simple answer: "Daddy'd take his V Bird away." I didn't let my girls drive mine until they were 30 years old, except the baby girl, who CAN drive a car thru the S's at speed, squealing out loud while doing it. They have all survived the experience.

    Hand Held Programmers ready for sale!

    Dan, when do you realistically expect to have the SCT ready for the '08 Vipers? Will the '08's be able to benefit from the SCT? Thanks for developing this, and good luck with it.

    Which order will they paint the three colors?

    We know they are making only 3 colors in September,and they'll complete a run in each color, for the year. Does anyone know which color will they start with? How long will they take painting that color? What colors are second and third: blue, dark red or Green? How long will they take to paint...

    Stock Run Flats + Track Day =

    I could've bought a set of PS2's, but really only needed rear tires, so I got two new rear runcraps. Two weeks ago, these rear runcraps, about 6 months old, with NO track usage whatsoever, gave way, skidded as I maneuvered to avoid instant death, and caused me to "lose it" into a bridge rail...

    New Headers...add heat shields or not

    Heat sheilds are not needed, according to Lou, because of the ceramic coatings on the Bellanger headers. A good set of high temp plug wires would be a nice addition, however. I recommend (and so does Joseph Dell of GA, with twin turbo's) Adam Brennan's custom Viper wires at 502-419-0133. He...

    New Autoweek '08 Viper review

    Autoweek knows how to properly respect the changes and the performance of the '08, a refreshing change from the pre-disposed Bowtie lovers. They didn't even mention the Z06 in comparison, which is a subtle reminder that there really is NO comparison of worth because the Chebbies are so...

    Car & Driver test of the 08

    The jury is still out on the comparisons. C & D is known to favor the Bowtie, even when the Viper was significantly faster in every category. Road and Track and other magazines might be able to drive the cars better, but the real testing will be at the dragstrip and the road...

    Anyone know when the second colors will be shipped?

    If a buyer misses the allocation of the first colored Vipers for '08, does anyone know when the second batch (black/violet models) would be planned for shipment? I assume the first ones will be shipped in Sept, to be received at the dealerships in October as some have said. Thanks!

    '08 has remote adjustable outside mirrors?

    I guess the wreck rang my bell harder than I had thought. Recovering from a fx sternum and vertebra must've errased something in my feeble memory banks....

    '08 has remote adjustable outside mirrors?

    Sorry. My '05, which was totalled less than two weeks ago, didn't have them, and I didn't realize the '06s did. My bad. But still Good news to ME. I have owned 3 Vipers without this feature ('94, '96 GTS and '05 SRT10), and had wished for it ....

    '08 has remote adjustable outside mirrors?

    That's a good feature, given the blinding headlights from behind while on the interstate hwys. The manual mirrors allowed no escape from the glare. The interior photos I saw on the net definitely had the controls in the driver's door, with what appeared a choice from left to right outside...

    Is a viper with navigation really a viper???

    I have a navigation unit which plugs into outlet, but it would be easier if it were built-in. Cruise control might not be for everyone, but on trips of hundreds of miles (yes, I do DRIVE my Vipers) it is necessary for this old 60+ body. Or isn't a grandpa entitled to love driving his SRT...

    New 2008 inforomation...0 to 60 in 3.7!!! link!!

    Even this 3-time grandpa regularly got sub-four second 0-60 times from his '05 Roadster, so I can't agree to the .8 seconds faster they are talking about. Something faster is certain, however,given the additional ponies, higher rpm's, single gear to 60 and better tires (PS2's). This car may not...

    What tires on '08 Viper?

    I seem to remember a rumor or something that the '08 Viper will have Pilot Sport 2's instead of the runcraps. Is this accurate? If so, they would be a big improvement over the runcraps/runflats. ] Also, what size wheels and tires will be on the '08, front and rear?

    First time with my 97GTS

    I wish I could do that 60 ft time in my beast. The best I ever had with my GTS was a poor time of 2.15, but some of that was due to heatcyled tires from roadcourses. My car would make 122 in the quarter, but the e.t. was 12.2, which I thought was really poor considering the mph it made. I never...

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

    :drive: you add headers and exhaust with cats,Green filters in stock airbox, Arrow rebuild with chrome molly pushrods, CPM reflash and 170 degree thermostat? I should have the answer today, but I wonder what you guru's would estimate it to be. Thanks for your opinions! Flyntgr:)

    Mid-South members

    Hey guys, let's plan to go as a group to Texas Mo. spwy in October, as well as the fall foliage. Some of our members probably have not been on a track to see what their cars can do. We need to encourage EDUCATION

    I got the Nitto Invo's last week.

    What could one expect of this tire in terms of longevity under everyday street driving-no tracking? Thanks.
