    Z06 against SRT 10

    Regarding quality issues C5 vs Viper. Look at my sig. My 2001 ZO6 was repurchasd by GM for oil consumption. One quart every 400 miles. My 1998 Coupe was in to the dealer no less than 10 times for piddly quality related issues, including having the steering wheel position sensor replaced 4 times...

    Update from DC on 2003 Vipers!

    Sounds like 1bad was referring to the purchase of his GTS, not an SRT10. Dave

    Don't let the world pass you by....

    Re: Don\'t let the world pass you by.... Regardless of opinion re: good vs bad design, the SRT10 definetly looks more international and less American than the GEN I and IIs did. That is probably why a lot of GEN I and II owners dislike it so much. That is one reason I like it more than the Gen...

    Re: Don\'t let the world pass you by.... SmokinV10: Sounds like you are trying to convince yourself it is not the same thing. If you don't like the redesign then don't buy it. You can have your opinion just as I can. You are not right or wrong, and neither am I. Call the SRT 10 a Stratus if...

    2001 GTS Overheating

    I did a buyback with Chevrolet on my 2001 ZO6. Was burning a quart of oil every 400 miles. They were great about it. Didn't have to go Lemon Law route. Glad you got your buyback. No one should have big problems with a brand new high dollar car like the Viper. Dave

    Don't let the world pass you by....

    Re: Don\'t let the world pass you by.... Tell me if I'm wrong here, but the Cobra body was a British product (AC Ace?) and the engine was American. So the styling and stylist of the Cobra exterior, upon which the GEN I and II Viper design is based, was from a foreign country, and the Cobra...

    Removable hardtop option for SRT 10 six months after introduction?

    I heard this from one of the Board's recommended dealers when I was deciding who to put a deposit down with. Anyone know anything about it? Dave

    2003 Viper Vs. 2003 GT40. If price and power were the same, Which would you choose?

    Mark O: No offense either, but you sound like all the C4 guys who complained about the redesign of the Corvette back in 1997. Call it what you want, but I personally like the Gen I and II Vipers and the SRT 10 and the Corvette. The GT40 is nice also. I like all types of cars, and although I...

    2003 Viper Vs. 2003 GT40. If price and power were the same, Which would you choose?

    I'd take the SRT 10. 500 HP looks to be the upper limit on the GT40. The power level in the Viper could be upped easily to levels the Ford would never see. I'm kind of surprised that Ford didn't put a version of their V-10 in the GT40. Dave

    Lessons learned

    My perspective is probably different since I've never owned a Viper, but from my Corvette experience the reaction to the new design of the C5 was the same as what I've been reading here about reaction to the new Viper design. Now most folks love the Corvette design, and the cycle will repeat...

    Those who like the SRT, what kinds of cars do you have?

    See my sig below. In addition to those: 2001 Honda S2000 and a 2000 Camaro SS. All the others I have owned are point a to b types and don't merit listing. Dave

    New Viper Convertible on order-Can I trust my Dealer?

    I just placed a deposit on a 2004 with the esteemable Bill P. at Woodhouse Dodge. As one of the lowly uncertificated Viper owner wanna-bees, I have to wait until '04 for a Viper. Oh well, I'll just have to enjoy my 393 RWHP 2002 Corvette until that blessed day when I can emigrate to the Viper...

    Width of RT10/GTS vs ZO6

    I am really close to doing a deal on an '01. I have a 2 car garage with 2 single doors. My ZO6 fit thru with maybe 3 inches on either side of the mirrors. Will a Viper do the same? I do not know the comparable widths of the cars. Any help is appreciated. Dave <FONT COLOR="#ff0000" SIZE="1"...

    Hardtop hanger

    Mid-America sells such a system for removable hardtops on older Corvettes. www.madvette.com. Eckler's also, I think. www.ecklers.com. Dave

    Wait for '03 or buy "01 or '02?

    Wait for \'03 or buy \"01 or \'02? Hi guys. I'd like some opinions. I am on a waiting list for an '03 RT-10. I don't know if I could even get an '03, and I don't know about buying a first year vehicle (1st year production bugs?) I had a bad experience with oil consumption with my '01 ZO6. I am...

    Future of Viper?

    Ha ha ha!!!! You know, I bought the S2000 before all the comparisons of the next Viper to it started in the mags. I think it would be hard to design any car that does not look like another car in some respect. Dave

    Future of Viper?

    Hi everyone, I wanted to get your opinions on what you think the future of the Viper is now that Chrysler is a sub of MB? No more factory sponsorship of Viper Racing, and according to a post here DC quashed development of a GTS in the Gen 3. Opinions? I hope DC has an ongoing committment to the...

    Poll: Should I pick up '03 at CAAP and drive home or have it delivered.

    Re: Poll: Should I pick up \'03 at CAAP and drive home or have it delivered. Yea, I am aware of the first shot to current Viper owner's scenario. Good for you guys, bad for non-Viper owners. I'll just hope for the best. This scenario assumes I will be able to get an '03. I want the opinions of...

    Poll: Should I pick up '03 at CAAP and drive home or have it delivered.

    Poll: Should I pick up \'03 at CAAP and drive home or have it delivered. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I have a low allocation number from one of the well respected, often recommended dealers on this board. Should I go tour the plant and pick up the car and drive it to Atlanta, stopping midway in...

    Recommended dealers to order an "03 from?

    Recommended dealers to order an \"03 from? Hi everyone, I am new to the board, and will probably be a lurker until I get a 2003 Viper whenever. I have owned a 1998 Corvette Coupe, a 2000 Corvette Convertible, and a 2001 ZO6, which was just repurchased by GM for excessive oil consumption. I was...
