    Fastener: Part Number Needed

    Steve: Thank you for the correct part number. And thank you for the offer to send me your three. The parts man ordered # 6507453-AA whatever that may be. So we are giving him your part number. He may need to have access to you so that he can operate his parts department. Shall let...

    Interesting Info from Conner Avenue Plant

    Joe: This may not mean that the sky is falling. It merely means that at a corporate level, the SRT group is accountable for the success of its own business plan. That is why I said weeks ago that a new marketing strategy and target group is needed. This (thankfully) is no longer the 90s, and...

    Interesting Info from Conner Avenue Plant

    Bill: I can see that this is the thread that never dies...maybe we can interject comparison of the SRT-10 to Gen II cars or, better still, how it compares to the Z0... hmm, better not. On a more serious note, what I hear Chris saying is that he anticipated as did others that the yellow was...

    Interesting Info from Conner Avenue Plant

    Ted: Yes, I completely agree: "Introducing a special VCA Edition in a new (yellow) color for the SRT-10." would not, indeed, imply exclusivity to the VCA Edition. However, that sentence is mine, and, to my knowledge, never appeared in print. I too would be a bit miffed had I assumed in the...

    What is the strangest or BEST reaction you've had to driving your viper?

    Re: What is the strangest or BEST reaction you\'ve had to driving your viper Pulled into a parking lot being chased by an 18 year old on his bicycle. The Corsa Track obscured what he was saying about the car as I exited so he repeated himself as I locked the car. He said: "that is my...

    Interesting Info from Conner Avenue Plant

    All Dodge owes us is the car for which we paid and the warranty as it is outlined at the time of purchase, basic or extended. Dodge does not owe us a unique color, badging or any other cosmetic or performance part. However, when they announce such a vehicle, a more complete disclosure...

    Fastener: Part Number Needed

    Cris: This is not my dealer; it is the closest Dodge dealership. My dealer is ~20 miles away. No, he does not use computers. He has a small post it and a BIC pen. He gets his part numbers by word-of-mouth. After I explained what I wanted, he asked if it was for a Desoto or Hudson. He was...

    Interesting Info from Conner Avenue Plant

    Joe: I fully appreciate your position on that, but I wonder if the ~50 VCA car purchasers anticipated that this color would, thereafter, become standard production. Respectfully, there is the matter of expressed versus implied disclosure. For example, "we are releasing a special run of 50...

    Interesting Info from Conner Avenue Plant

    Michael: I am not certain where our positions diverge, but I am simply saying that many (all?) who bought the Yellow VCA car were...er...surprised...when that premium priced edition was then followed by the same color in a standard edition. I speculate that if some had been told that "yellow...

    NEED HELP WITH SIG

    Thomas: Jeez. Put some spaces back in your code...your letters are running together. You cannot change your Avatar. That must be done by Tony Rickard (Vipermad). Short bus pulling up to your door...and don't forget your SpongeBob lunchbox this time.

    Interesting Info from Conner Avenue Plant

    Lou: The best person to ask is Chris Marshall. He and 49 other dutiful VCA members jumped through the requisite hoops to secure a yellow VCA car. It is a cool car. However, if I were them, I would want that color to be unique. It was not unique and became a standard (and good selling)...

    Need help....what is it worth???

    Tony: I love red vipers...arguably more than my black mamba, but my understanding was that they sell at a lower price than more unique colors. I did not have my red SRT-10 long enough to fully appreciate it. I think the new owner benefitted from that...sold with 800 miles. Alice

    Interesting Info from Conner Avenue Plant

    Bruce: Thanks so much. I have trouble conceptualizing an Orange Viper. Then again, I had trouble with the concept of a white one...a blue one...or a yellow one. It sounds as though this is going to be particularly difficult because photos of the orange is not likely to tell anyone how it...

    Fastener: Part Number Needed

    Steve: Thanks. I may need to avail myself of your offer. The dealership in question just sold its first Viper (a Silver Mamba) and they were so utterly thrilled that promised to get a shop manual for it....some day. The part number is deeply appreciated. I shall verify that this is what they...

    Just curious. Why do people list cars that they have

    Cris: I agree; your ownership of a Range Rover, Acura MDX or Kia is not relevant to a signature block. If your previous ride was a Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche or that Chevrolet car (sorry, the name eludes me), then it lets me know that you are upwardly mobile and bought a Viper. I look for...

    Need help....what is it worth???

    Yes, that is right on the money. $65k + your Gen I car. Sorry, that comment was unnecessary and shows a complete lack of restraint. It was, however, fun to type. On a more serious note, he could likely get the car for less than $65k during the winter and especially if it is red.

    GA VCA Dyno Day this Sat

    Anyone know of a triple black SRT-10 in the Dunwoody area? One flew through a parking lot on Chamblee Dunwoody with the top down on Friday afternoon. Great looking car, but I did not have time to see who the driver was.
