    How good is the new 18 speaker Harmon Kardon system ?

    I'd also like to know how the system works in a Viper, but I do have the 18 speaker system in my SRT8 Jeep. I think it sounds outstanding. My opinion on car audio is unpopular, but here goes... As a professional audio engineer I have the privilege of sitting in front of high-end studio...

    And so it begins *** DEALER MARKUP***

    It's bad enough that east coast dealers insist on putting ugly badges normal cars, but it's a crime on a Viper!

    Speed TV Test Drive: SRT GTS w Kendall and Andretti

    That's the format for the show. They all play out like an info-mercial. There was an episode a few years ago that had me wanting a BMW, Tommy's guest was Hans Stuck. They were driving at insane speeds on the autobahn. I think Hans actually locked the brakes at 180mph because he was...

    "When Opportunity Knocks"...

    He makes it seem so easy! With that simple logic, EVERY car made should be beautiful. Apparently designers want their new designs to be just a little bit ugly. ~Jay

    TOP GEAR UK Season 19 (2013 SRT VIPER)

    I didn't care for the exterior of the Pagini, but the interior is a work of art. The fact that it blew the doors off everything else on the Top Gear board proves that you can have both form and function. I hope they will test the Gen V at some point. The new stig seems to do better with...

    Jay Leno's Garage

    Thanks for posting the link. I love that the CEO, Ralph, had to show him how to do a proper burnout. The German bit was hilarious! The Viper sounded and looked fantastic. Jay Leno is a car lover, he loves all his cars. I don't know that I've seen him gush over any car. It's cool that they...

    WOW 1st Corvette sells for MUCH more than 1st Gen 5 Viper!

    I think the reason is that the big money is in Arizona, not OC for Barrett Jackson auctions. ~Jay

    Thanks to this post, I just ordered it. No reviews yet on Amazon. You guys who already have the book, you might want to give it a review. It'll help sales quite a bit. ~Jay

    Do you realize

    And yet only one has been delivered? But your right, the NY auto show seems like only yesterday. ~Jay

    Great pics! I had no idea that there would be something so American looking in Qatar. ~Jay

    MT head 2 head video is up

    Thanks for posting the video. From what Probst said, I think the Viper just needs some fine tuning. The ZR-1 has had years of fine tuning and just proved it on that video. I can deal with the Viper being more expensive and less comfortable. But it really hurts when it's also slower on a...

    If not already posted: NYT piece

    Very cool video! Looks like they have a few robots now, but it appears to still be mostly hand assembled. I love it! ~Jay

    That would be awesome! Thanks. There were 3 red vipers like mine. I'm the one with the red helmet. ~Jay

    SRT CEO Ralph Gilles Interviews at Willow Springs Jan 5 2013

    Yes, I'm not a very fast driver, and he is, plus he has 140 more HP. I wanted him to have a clean lap since he was our special guest. Also, there was no one else behind me, so I slowed down so I could have could have some space to myself. ~Jay

    SRT CEO Ralph Gilles Interviews at Willow Springs Jan 5 2013

    It was a really fun day. I'll post a quick video of my lap where Ralph passed me. It was really cool to be on the track with him. Later I'll try to put together a video from other stuff I shot that day. ~Jay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k__j16-8V8o

    Hmmmm, words from Ralph

    Today Ralph said that the ACR will be extreme. There's only a million ways to interpret that, but they are all good. ~Jay

    TFLcar video

    I don't know if this has been posted here, but it's a pretty good overview of the car, and has some clips of Ralph Gilles, Dick Winkle, and Mark Trostle. There is nothing we haven't seen before, but it's always great to see the new Viper. The video features a few other cars, the Viper...

    ZR1 vs Gen V Burnout Test

    Next to tractor pull, this has got to be the most redneck competition I have ever seen. I love it! ~Jay

    Automatic Viper?

    Maybe the new 8-speed will fit. One web site states that the new 8-speed will be in the 2014 Jeep SRT8., so it must be fairly strong. Maybe that transmission can be beefed up to handle the V10. Remember, that in this era, for the viper to exist, it needs to make money. An auto will sell...

    Why is there no mention of SRT in this story?

    I was hesitant to spend $65, 000 on an SRT8 Jeep for this reason. So I went ahead and bought one anyway. The very same day I took delivery of my new $65,000 Jeep, the EVIC failed. When I took it to the Dodge dealer two days later. Here is what I was told- Sorry, it will take a week and a...

    Stryker Red

    I think when you get a $14,000 paint job, your car becomes a garage queen. You try to avoid scratches and chips even if it means almost never driving it. Or, maybe you can just wrap the whole thing in a clear bra. ~Jay
