Certain people do not like my opinion on where the Dodge Viper is headed and have been told if I make another negative comment - I'll be banished for a month. Unbelievable and now I'll go and read the Costitution and Bill of Rights just to make sure where I live. You guys sure showed me.

Think about it: If an SRT owner came in and pulled similar crap in the Gen I/II forums there would be outrage 100 times stronger. You would not only call for that person to be banned, you would probably send out a hit squad. Imagine if some goofball (and a few of them at that) regularly came in and posted threads or hijacked many, many others with comments like "Yeah, but the Gen II doesn't even have 500 horsepower - don't get me started on the Gen I", "the GTS and RT/10 couldn't even sell 1000 copies a year they sucked so bad", "you like that clown shoe styling? I guess for a girl's car it's okay", "anybody notice how bad the values of the Gen I/II are tanking because nobody wants them?", "nice styling you got there - if you liked 1989", and on and on and on. Think that wouldn't have a ton of Viper owners screaming for a banning? Of course it would and rightfully so. So what makes it okay for anybody to post the same BS in the SRT forums? Answer: NOTHING. (And for the record, the GTS is still my favorite Viper body style to date - Comp Coupe right there with it)
Now, any single one of those lines used in the Gen II forum would call for immediate banning. And any one of the Viper owners in this forum would agree with it. You can whine about "trying to inspire DC on future product", but that is BS. The posts referenced in the second paragraph have nothing to do with inspiring the DC team and have everything to do with just being mean-spirited. Newsflash: The looks of the SRT were endlessly debated, criticized, and praised when the car was released in late 2002. After three years it has just been enough. The points have been made, DC is on notice, and there are now over 6,000 SRT owners that like the car the way it is. Just like there are 17,000 Gen I/II owners that are happy with their cars..............................

one minute later!
I know I did a lousy job cutting and pasting. I probably have presented this in a very confusing manner. However, I apologized today and I am going to attempt to wait a few days then possibly have some fun on the Gen I/II Board probably get banned or at least threatened. I'm sure most of the good people here are just shaking their head at me, but, if you want to join me for a good round of teasing and banter please let me know. Maybe a quick surgical strike by a few of us on the other Forum. NO, I AM NOT GOING TO DO THAT ANYMORE! I PROMISE NOT TO AND I AM JUST JOKING, BECAUSE THIS IS HOW IT STARTS.
F355, I believe you are really a good person and think you are trying to be friendly and constructive. Unfortunatly, I am one SRT-10 vert owner that hopes you take your time before you finish growing into SRT-10 ownership; and during that time consider this Forum read only.
Do you really think you helped a first time Viper owner with his shiny new SRTC or even a second or third time owner? Is that person supposed to apologize and say,,yea buddy you're right but that's all I can find if I want a new one. Gee ****, can I hire you to consult with my local bodyshop and put your design thoughts to use on my new car? Go ahead and flame me, but do you?
