    What are you expecting to see tonight in the "teaser" pic?

    Then you sir are not a car guy. There were a few cars in my time that when I saw them, they physically took my breath away and I was completely mesmerized to where I would literally do anything to have one. It's a nice story and a"Hardy Tail". :)

    What are you expecting to see tonight in the "teaser" pic?

    Looks like a Hammerhead Shark or Sloth from the Goonies. Honestly in all good fun, do they have a real car built or are they going to unveil the new Viper hand drawn pictures tapped to a Viper Executive chair in NY? If you turn it upside down, Stryker smiles at you.

    Gen 5 pic 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on Monday, January 30!!!!!

    That is pretty close to what we saw in SLC. Despite what others have said, the roof with the hard angular double track humps, looks like it came off a corvette coupe so not feeling that portion. Hoping the artist rendition is just that a rendition and that they did not just add hard angular...

    Why does Ralph call it a Roadster?

    Fun! Anyway my point was I thought GEN I/GEN II RT/10 was called a "roadster", Gen III/GEN IV was called a "convertible". There is no reason to call GEN V open top a "roadster" from the previous generation being a more conventionable convertible, unless there is a good reason to call it a...

    Why does Ralph call it a Roadster?

    Finally just got my November/December Viper Magazine in the mail yesterday. In Ralph's letter, he breaks some myths and says it will debut as a coupe with a "Roadster" later. He clearly and deliberately said roadster and not convertible. Is it a return to the GEN I look for those with a need...

    Dodge to release a Viper Gen 5 teaser video?

    That is not the GEN V without skin. Those are not the GEN V seats. Not buying any of it.

    2013 SRT Viper pricing? (ALLPAR)

    Until it is released than I will believe it. Not buying the price hike. The article makes zero sense as presented.

    How difficult is it to remove and replace the differential?

    Unless it is shimmed correctly, proper oil and friction modifier, you will get whine. It is not a plug and play install. They rarely are on any car, unless the entire center section is replaced. Mine took Dodge 3 times but 3rd time is the charm as it has been perfect for over 5,000 miles.

    Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2012 -Vipers on the block-

    If you looked at the prices paid, anything outside of Friday late afternoon through Saturday night was not bringing the money. Placement is everything in an auction like this. If that low mileage 92' RT/10 was in the main on Saturday, it would have fetched double what it went for. The prices...

    a little birdie says......

    I look at it this way, the Corvette is horribly overpriced. A Shelby Mustang is quite a bit under these costs and well 650HP says a lot. If you are only planning on selling 1,000 to 1,500 of the cars a year, they are not your big money maker. They are your halo car to get people in the showrooms...

    GEN III Spark Plugs and Wires?

    Thanks DC; So far all I have picked up are Quality wires and new plugs. I will probably stay with just that but was curious on the Digital Ignition and upgraded coil packs route. They made a big difference on the Mustangs I have had over the years though you have to watch what you get. I had a...

    GEN III Spark Plugs and Wires?

    GEN III Spark Plugs and Wires?

    Guys; In getting the car through emissions here in Colorado, I just want to be ready in case I have find issue with the stock wires and plugs when we get in there to check in a week or so. I have always had good luck with MSD 10.4mm type wires on my other hi-po vehicles. Are there an MSD set...

    Who purchased an extended warranty?

    George; I am still waiting to hear back from Glenn. His brother does work at Brandon but not sure if he works on the Vipers. Right now, unless Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, SRT ponies up a viable option for true trustworthy service and dealership warranty support here in CO, there is no way I would...

    Who purchased an extended warranty?

    Well, I bought the 7 yr maxcare warranty when new, have not needed it, only have about 8,000 miles on the car in 5 yrs. If I had to do it again, I would have saved the money and not bought an extended warranty. I have it as piece of mind on all my vehicles, but I think my next new vehicle I am...

    Voi 12 announced!!

    Cool! We are looking very forward to this. Mapquest says it is about 1,525 miles from Denver and should take 24.5 hrs. If it is like the VOI11 caravan to SLC a few years ago, we should be able to make it in about 12 hours. Looks to be a day trip. :rolaugh: Looks like we roll right through...

    Gen 5 Viper

    If Dodge in any way, shape or form awards this honor to Pro-Chrysler Dodge here in Colorado, I will lose it. Worst dealership I have ever known of any dealership, any manufacturer. They screwed me royally on my new Jeep SRT8 purchase and never honored one single claim against my factory warranty...

    Help!!!! Emissions Issue?

    Speaking more with Glenn today, he said he would call around to see who is where and get back to me with where we could potentially take our cars to get the proper attention on the front range. Nowhere came to mind when I spoke with him and that is the problem he said Colorado has always had...

    Help!!!! Emissions Issue?

    Thanks George; After speaking with Glenn, our resident Viper Tech expert for Colorado (who is now doing it out of his own garage), he recommended that I drain the tank, fill it up 1/2 way with 91 premium, through in a bottle of HEET, drive it around to almost empty, then through in 3 gallons of...

    Gen 5 Viper

    Well, the only thing I will say and I believe most everyone will agree is that the above two sketches had much nicer rims than the VOI11 car. I am trying to remember what I saw on the clay model, but my mind is not what it use to be. I get small flashes here and there, however those UGLY rims on...

    Help!!!! Emissions Issue?

    Thanks Garron, we had used the metal ones and they are on there pretty good. I am hoping it is just bad/old gas and an oil change. I will try it and see, if it ever stop frickin snowing. I have until the end of February so hopefully I have it figured out then. I see almost 4 inches on the...
