    Nah, I much prefer the stock body style.

    gen 5 wheels

    Damn. I'm absolutely in love with the Sidewinder II's and had been planning on trying to get a set to stick on my Gen 4 but I hadn't considered how they'd stick out past the wheel arch. Bah, well there goes that plan. :(

    295/30 18 PS2s up fornt?

    How do the 295's track on the street compared to the 275's? My car is a street car but I'm considering tracking it some this spring. My worry with the wider tires is that it makes the rut following even worse.

    Where did you buy your Viper?

    I bought mine sight unseen from a private seller on eBay. I paid to have them take it to a dealership first though. Not 100% risk free but I felt comfortable enough to pull the trigger. Plus I was looking for a super rare color (blue convertible) so I had to be willing to take a bit extra risk...

    Chrome or Gloss Black wheels, on a red Viper

    Gloss black all way. I'll be switching from my polished factory Razors to black 2013 Sidewinders as soon as I can get my hands on some.

    Yeah, and it's been coming and going too. Apparently these photos were taken 10 minutes apart this week:

    Verts with Coupe Rear Conversion pics thread!!

    Don't worry -- I agree for the most part. On one hand I like the sharper lines but on the other it almost looks too small due to the length of the trunk.

    Pumping Gas

    I've been to dozens of different gas stations and it's certainly hit or miss. Usually it works fine but there's ones where it doesn't. Some are just more finicky than others. I've never tried upside down though. +1 to trying a different type of pump.

    Removing the door panel?

    Alright, sounds like it's not worth it then. I'll just not worry about it. Thanks all. :)

    Rock magnet? Car is chipped to hell

    Yep, that's what I ended up getting and they've been awesome. I did a 3000 mile road trip with them and they appear to have stopped any further chipping. They look pretty good too.

    Removing the door panel?

    How do you go about removing the door panel? I had a new window regulator installed but the window is up slightly too high when in the down position. Not enough to be a problem but I am super picky and want to lower it slightly to match the other side and to protect it more.

    Help! Keys locked in trunk, '05 vert

    I've asked before and never gotten a response either. :( This is why I carry a thin dumb key in my wallet though. Then again if I lock my wallet in the trunk...

    Forza Horizon

    I got a review copy about a week ago. The 2013 Viper is quite fun to drive in that game. :)

    1st try with a GoPro

    GoPro audio tends to be worthless over about 20-30 MPH so I usually shoot timelapse instead of video. Here's about 50 minutes to an hour squished down into one minute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSHIVHyL7sE&hd=1 Works well for freeways, no so much for twisty roads. You have to slow it...

    Any guesses when Gen V wheels will be purchasable?

    You can pick up a full set of brand new gen 4 wheels for $2700 or ACR wheels for $3800 total. Why do you think they'll be so much more?

    Any guesses when Gen V wheels will be purchasable?

    Ralph says probably January for being able to buy the wheels: https://twitter.com/RalphGilles/statuses/254325229713768449 The only problem is I believe the fronts are 10.5" rather than 10" in order to fit on the 295's that the 2013 runs. Ideally I'd be able to stick to 275's and not have use...

    Vipers on the track part deux

    Thanks! I just had the car in for service at the dealer last week (fresh oil + inspection) so I'm sure everything is fine with the car thankfully. :) EDIT: Looking at my calendar, I think I'm actually going to reconsider. Just too busy. Going to hold off until the spring and maybe start with...

    Vipers on the track part deux

    I've considering doing my very first HPDE ever at the Ridge with HOD this Saturday. I'm a complete novice but knowing there will be at least one other Viper there, and instructing at that, I may just have to pull the trigger and do it! Now I just have to find a helmet... EDIT: Ah, I see...

    Stock wheels BLACK or POLISHED?

    Gloss black all the way. I was never a big fan of the 10 spokes when chromed. Something else to consider is gun metal instead of black. I still prefer black but this doesn't look bad either: http://www.flickr.com/photos/38869138@N03/7992806702/in/set-72157631551215175/...
