SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES

[big-n-italian]

i recognize those wheels!! *** 06 ASC Viper Diamondback ***

 

[big-n-italian]

i think i just solved the carbon fiber mystery too!!

 

[Red Coachwhip]

You've beat me to it.

So basically we have:
-carbon fiber images
-"if you want it in your garage, you had better renew your VCA membership pronto!" (available to the public, and almost certainly related to VCA members)
-"3.5" (supposing Chris is talking about the generation)
-"Big names too" (McLaren Performance???).

So when are you going to spill the rest of the beans???

(15TH) - FIVE DAYS!

(checkbook open, pen in hand!)

AW MAN! Thats awesome! I never thought of owning my own portable set of bagpipes from Ireland! I was just telling someone recently too about bringing my own music to the car shows instead of them playing the typical oldies music!

 

[Warfang]

I'd buy a couple tickets for that raffle.

 

[doctorbob]

If the VCA is raffling that car count me in for at least ten tickets...I need to win something sooner or later and sooner would be just fine.Bob

 

[Bonkers]

I thought that car wasn't able to drive in the rain because
there are no water baffles in the intakes - would really
**** to get caught in a freak summer shower if that's the case...

 

[InjectTheVenom]

Unless they changed the hood of the Diamondback to the one in the pictured hint and did a repaint at the same time I'm thinking it will be a 1 of 1 raffle car.

 

[SylvanSRT]

im hoping some form of coupon or right to purchase program similar to the '03's and orginal GTS's

true - but if this car were to be raffled off, i am willing to bet it would be given a "full" hood?

the possibilities are still endless of what we may see on the 15th.

 

[SylvanSRT]

i am slso hoping/guessing there will be more crumbs thrown out for us to devour before that date

 

[Steve Miehe]

It's a carbon fiber key chain that you will receive (if you renewed your membership)

 

[Steve Miehe]

Sure hope I am wrong (on the keychain comment)....

 

[Jeff Lemke]

UH-OH!
I hope that Jay Lemke didn't let the cat out of the bag with my new hood idea!

No Way, Mike! Your idea is still safe at this end.

COOL! Sorry about your new alias(Jay), LOL!

 

[SylvanSRT]

my guess is the 80lbs is either weight reduction or a supercharger addition.

that puke tank is making me think SC.

Weight reduction

 

[ROCKET62]

That would look awesome being towed behind my new Viper SRT Truck that I'm winning this week. Figure my odds at winning both at 1.125/50,000.

 

[GR8_ASP]

Does not look like a supercharger. No belt drive. I cannot recall the weight reduction stated from the use of carbon fiber. 80 lbs sounds about right. I cannot remember the puke can but the 10 individual throttle bodies my prevent a normal PCV system.

Getting warmer???

 

[Sandy G]

Large Viper floor mat to park on in the garage..........very cool!!!!!!

 

[SylvanSRT]

i hope the 615 is the torque, and the HP numbers are even bigger!!

 

[Bobpantax]

That appears to be part of a dry sump system. 80 pounds lighter, dry sump, racing belts, 615 HP, a little carbon fiber - sounds and looks like a new ACR version Viper to me.

[SylvanSRT]

if they are smart they will steal some thunder and use the SS name for SuperSnake !!!

 

[WickedV]

A new ACR with styling cues from the '06 ASC Viper Diamondback and the '03 SEMA Carbon SRT?

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

A new ACR with styling cues from the '06 ASC Viper Diamondback and the '03 SEMA Carbon SRT?

I likes the sound of that damn thang

 

[Lawrenzo]

I am going with the ACR idea as well. Only available to current members/owners, and priced just over $100k.

 

[FE 065]

I'll guess a 615fwhp Gen 3.5, 80 lbs lighter due to liberal use of CF, and signed by 'big names'.

Though a puke tank doesn't seem EPA friendly..


"If you want 'IT' in your garage", could indicate there's only 1 available.

 

[FinalEd357]

I'll guess raffle tix for that specific car - I'll buy a few...
