    NEW COUPE ORDERED, ANYONE ELSE?

    Fred: You may have missed my point. To wit, posting attacks and criticism of the company does not encourage their meeting of our needs. If VCA becomes viewed as a group of malcontents, the factory will not seek input other than color choice. What may/would have worked would be an organized...

    Rivalry???

You can finally use your Andy Williams CDs 6. No one asks how much it costs nor how fast it goes 5. Incredible aftermarket at Pep Boys 4. No...

    Closed Hood?

    Stu: Insider trading is illegal. You have some information about which we shall learn in the future? Alice

    NEW COUPE ORDERED, ANYONE ELSE?

    Write Your Congressman Dirk: That is an important historical reminder and reminder of how this whole renaissance in the American muscle car was re-ignited. Here's something else: What have we done to inspire an audience with D-C? When you are concerned about a law, policy, zoning, etc...

    Closed Hood?

    Rob: They have gone on record that the power train remains unchanged. I do not know what the impact would be if they changed that stance prior to the release of the coupe. But this issue of the front end appearing light (sans engine) is intriguing. Then again, it may be nothing more than just...

    Closed Hood?

    Question: Has the hood of the SRT-10 been closed at every international auto show since its inception? That is: Is this typical for the engine not to be viewable when the Viper is on display? I know that there is speculation that there is no engine on the Viper on display, but I have...

    NEW COUPE ORDERED, ANYONE ELSE?

    That's correct: Porsche and Ferrari sell based upon image (style, class, wealth, and, for Ferrari, inacessibility). I have seen no confirmed data from Dodge that the Viper has sold solely, or even chiefly, from a purely performance platform. I do believe that there are a substantial...

    Buying a 04 what do I need to look for?

    Robbie: Congratulations. Yay! My red car did not come with boot. My Mamba came with boot, car cover and carrying bag. My dealer kept the second key in case it needed to be turned over to the repo man. What video? Alice

    NEW COUPE ORDERED, ANYONE ELSE?

    It was clarified for me offline that delivery must still be paid even if you pick up the car. Alice

    NEW COUPE ORDERED, ANYONE ELSE?

    John: Actually you know the person who is first on the list, but he would have to reveal that...not me. I would think that the $800 fee would be waived. May be an incentive to some to drive the car home. I understand the aura of blue/white and can live with it, but I would be more enthused...

    Jay: Thanks for the heads up on the voting. When are the results made public? Alice

    NEW COUPE ORDERED, ANYONE ELSE?

    Thomas: It sounds like that will be an adventure for you. After all, even getting safely into and out of Detroit is meritorious service to your country....likely Bronze Star material. I shall more likely have my dealer deliver the coupe and pick up the Black Mamba. I have two...

    NEW COUPE ORDERED, ANYONE ELSE?

    Thomas: I had not heard about plant tour etc. I am assuming that implies that you would drive the car from Detroit rather than have it transported. Alice

    NEW COUPE ORDERED, ANYONE ELSE?

    Thomas: Ordered on pre-announcement and then confirmed at the time of the L.A. Show. I am assuming we are looking at August-October delivery and likely blue/white the only initial color. Alice

    Parking Topless

    Kai: Had a similar experience. Pulled up in front of the kids' school; this teenage girl jumped in the car. She wanted to know what it felt like to sit in a Viper. She seemed surprised that I was displeased. She seemed more surprised by how I expressed that displeasure. It is an amazing...

    Parking Topless

    I took my daughter to guitar. Very safe and secured area. Convertible top was down. After she was settled in with her teacher, I walked back to check on the car. All was fine. Walked back again 5 minutes later. Still fine. Finally gave up, went back and sat on the curb next to it in the...

    To mamba, or not to mamba, that is the question.....

    Tony: I don't believe that you really want to make the decision based solely upon price and resale. If you feel that the red interior appointments are worth more to you than having the current model year, then your decision is for the Mamba. Buy whichever one appeals most to you is the best...

    This just in...

    John: To the extent that it smoothes out as RPM increases, then, yes, the 3.55 results in less surging. But only go 3.55-3.73 if you do not intend to increase horsepower. Alice

    A Radar Detector Would Have Been Cheaper - Recommendations?

    I appreciate seeing a consensus. My concern was that there would be multiple opinions, but it is clear that Valentine really has a product that everyone endorses. The tarrif was steep, I felt, but after being in the lock down and getting only an hour exercise yard once a day in the big house...

    A Radar Detector Would Have Been Cheaper - Recommendations?

    Bought two Valentine One's, late this afternoon. I am paying the ticket and taking the points. I did the crime. They were like velocoraptors: while I was watching to my side, they got me from in front...tag team specialists. If I had not put on the Corsa, I could have burned her with my...

    A Radar Detector Would Have Been Cheaper - Recommendations?

    Art & Marc: They are within dollars difference on e-bay. I went ahead and ordered it. Joe, the female cop was actually very nice. One is truly powerless in such situations. I should not have been speeding, but it is rather weird that they set up tag teams to derive sadistic pleasure in...

    A Radar Detector Would Have Been Cheaper - Recommendations?

    Yeah, Rob...she was charmed by the question (not). A woman with a gun. I wanted to ask her if she had considered Adkins as a New Year's resolution, but she truly did not seem to want a new friend. Go figure. As all the lights were blinking and the cops were in the street signalling...one...

    A Radar Detector Would Have Been Cheaper - Recommendations?

    (I offered to use the citation money towards the purchase of a Valentine One...the officer was not amused...humorless). Is Valentine One still the detector-of-choice (or has the latest Escort truly been improved to compete)? Second question: Is there such a thing as "best price" on the...
