    I am thinking they meant "inch - lbs" Bad typo, though.

    BIG news for Dodge - and great for the Viper!

    WHOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!! Huge congrats to Ralph. He deserves ALL the good things coming his way and we know that he'll make sure the Viper and the rest of the Dodge cars are all spectacular. Hope he doesn't forget the "little people" now that he's a CEO. (And prior to 40, too - how cool!)

    Viper Crash on Mulholland Highway near Los Angeles, California

    I think the "no so obvious" benefit is the most important. After tracking or even autocrossing a Viper, you realize that there's nothing you can do on the street that will give you that same euphoria as hitting hte high speed esses perfectly at VIR, or heading into a four wheel drift around...

    Ssg Will It Be Offered In 2010.?????

    I don't believe that there is a problem selling them now - and viper only builds for orders from dealers.... so - don't laugh at a price increase - between supplier BKs, Fiat ownership, other constraints - an increase is a possibility - it's happened almost every year....

    Ssg Will It Be Offered In 2010.?????

    Prices change - there are no guarantees. The plant WANTS to be open - but - there are problems with suppliers - like I said - going bankrupt, their suppliers having problems with deliveries, productions at some suppliers shifting to higher volume products, etc. It's an unprecedented time in...

    Ssg Will It Be Offered In 2010.?????

    Don't cancel your car. We had a $5K price increase from early in 2009 to the time we took delivery. There are simply no more guarantees about viper production anymore. Plant up, plant down, suppliers in, suppliers out, bankruptcies disrupting other suppliers - you name it. There's no...

    If we could set that to music, I would nominate it for a Grammy.

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    HA! Don't I wish. (Can I print this and show to Henry???) Us old timers have seen too many folks buy the car because they thought it was (raw, powerful, gorgeous, etc) and then come on and said "I just bought this, but jeez, it needs to be changed NOW!" WARNING - sexist comment approaching...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    Honestly - the ESC debate is a moot one. it's coming - it will be mandated by the government in what? 2012? HOWEVER - I would like it's implementation to be as unintrusive as possible. I don't want it to save your bacon no matter how ridiculous a stunt you pull. I don't want it kicking in...

    Best Way to Transfer a Title on a Shipped Purchase ?

    I shipped a car and handled the title transfer by engaging the local VCA president to do the following: Deliver the keys and title to the new owner upon receipt of a bank check drawn and confirmed on a local bank. this was at the time Intercity delivered the car to the VCA president. Once he...

    Almost a year - worth the wait

    It's nice to have a street car - it'll likely see light track use - but the comp coupe is the ultimate track car with it's data acquisition and safety features - nothing like a real roll cage. It'll get belts, and then an extra set of wheels for some PS2s, then exhaust, etc. but - that will...

    Almost a year - worth the wait

    The new ACR is home. It's getting a slight spa treatment during the week. Haven't been able to post as much as I would like about the entire plant pickup experience and the car itself - but suffice it to say - The new car's big brother is happy to have some company.

    Gen-4 ACR wing in a Gen-2 GTS

    There is a GTS-R wing available for the GTS - it's about as large as a picnic bench and very functional. It will not allow you to open your rear hatch. the GT2 wing is smaller and creates much less downforce. the latest ACR wing is a nice piece and probably midway between the 2. Depending on...

    Why no electronic stability control, etc?

    ESC is coming - it will be mandated. How it gets implemented will be key. What else comes with it will be key. As long as it is 1) defeatable and 2) as unintrusive as possible, I know the guys at SRT will try to keep it from ruining the experience of the Viper. But - for those of you that...

    Why no electronic stability control, etc?

    I am sitting @ Featherstone Road right now - no more FREC -all moved into main bldgs. PIcked up our ACR this morning. Let's leave the car what it was meant to be - there are enough cars in the nanified ranks as it is. RIght now - the Viper has no peers. As it should be.

    Free Lunch - Friday 9/11/2009 - Detroit

    If I were in Detroit on Friday picking up my new ACR with the hardcore package (CAAP 9AM), would any of you guys be interested in a free lunch? Henry, Tom Sessions and I are driving tomorrow from Raleigh to Detroit. Let me know if I can take ya'll out for a "thank you for building this cool...

    Why no electronic stability control, etc?

    So - we turn it into a 'vette competitor and then we get ALL SORTS of people cross shopping the Viper with the 'vette (it'll lose, too expensive), the Jag (lose again, too American), the Aston (it'll lose, see prior), the GTR (lose again - too American) So we'll then have a car that no longer...

    Serious Business

    I think I can say with 100% certainty - no. If you want a Viper - don't wait. 2010 won't getcha anything other than perhaps a color or trim choice not available on 2009. And waiting may just end up hastening the Viper's demise.
