I personally would never buy a Vette (i dont like them )but neither will i live in a Fantasyland and deny the perf aspect of the carYou loved the Viper when it was on the top of mountain. Now your swinging to and fro from Vette ****. That's called "band wagoning" . Let me guess....your also a HUGE Seattle Seahawks fan.
Bob Dodge closed barn door (price issue )2 years after the horse left .By the way WHO FIRST REPORTED THERE WOULD IN FACT BE A PRICE REDUCTION threw a coupon.Boy do you have your cabeza up your culo on this one. LOL. I had a 1999 GTS in 1999 that subsequently was modified with an 8 pound Roe positive displacement supercharger. That vehicle was replaced in 2006 by a 778 flywheel HP supercharged Gen III. Both cars were great but neither one holds a candle to my TA. The Gen V TA is a whole new level of car. And if you would just stop typing and hero worshipping third parties long enough to go buy one and drive it on the street and on a road course for a few hundred miles instead of living through write ups by car magazine reporters who think Hennessey is the best thing since oxygen was created, you might start to understand and appreciate the car.
The Rides and Smiles event I participated in this past Saturday had every automotive reporter in South Florida who is active in SAMA present. They and everyone else there were blown away by the car.
It did not sell well initially for two principal reasons:
1. The price point was a bit too high;and,
2. More importantly, the marketing was totally incompetent including producing the dealer cars before the customer ordered cars which would have created an early buzz instead of the early anger that puting the dealer cars first caused.
Both of these issues have now been addressed by Dodge. Tim Kuniskis knows what he is doing and is finally getting the marketing right.
You really need to ask yourself why you are so hostile to Dodge and the Viper. It is obvious that you are holding a grudge about something and everyone who reads your posts can clearly see it.
I am thrilled that Connor Avenue opened up again. The car is very special.

The person who told you about it.

How many times do you think our friend 1SADGTS has repeated the same dribble. What drives a person to make the same comment over and over. I am just guessing, in this thread alone, there are probably a dozen occurrences of the same exact verbiage/crap. If we were to look at all of his posts, the sames names have been dropped dozens if not hundreds of times - what the hell gives?? Aren't there other forums that he can use as a bandbox, it is obvious he hates everything about the G5, why isn't he on the Corvette forums?
