At the previous VOIs there was always a special edition Viper. Some of the guys in our club are interested to buy this 10th edition VOI Viper. What are the plans for this special car ? A nice ACR could commemorate this event as expected ... :)

Be careful buying gas after dark, lots of carjackings in Detroit...and you only get one chance to give up the keys

I was born in Detroit...even I get scared and out of the city limits near dark. If you stay close to the casinos and ballparks, you're okay...but I wouldn't venture out to "see the city" in a Viper. If the residents don't get you, the roads will.

my buddies born and raised there. Got carjacked couple times. Gun in back of head laid out execution style. Luckily for him they've never pulled the trigger.

I'm glad my wife doesn't read this forum. She's going to VOI with me.

Is there a gas station near the hotels? Going to be a bunch of thirsty snakes there!

Maybe if everyone attending pitches in $5, we could have night security at a specified gas station for a few days?

Re: Spacial edition Viper for VOI 10 ?

Please fellow member, we need to stop bashing Detroit. I have been to that area many times in the last 6 years and have not had one bad experience. I have been to Conner Ave a number of time, with the Viper, been to numerous events with and without the Viper, went to the Grand Prix last year and that was a blast, without any incidents. I live in Traverse City, 250 miles away and come from an area where there is very little crime and most of us don't even lock our doors (protected by Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casul). I was apprehensive at first about going to the Detroit area myself but when I was with all our Viper friends I knew I was safe. The VOI organization will have our safety in mind when coordinating this event. With a low preregistration so far, (I will let the people in the know comment about this) we better start promoting this event or there may not be one!
The Belle Isle Grand Prix was probably the Best event I have ever went to. To have it with the VOI is going to make it a double treat and WELL worth the money. Please show your support and reregister early so they know that the event is even wanted by the membership. I know times are tough but if the numbers aren't there, anything can happen. I know I will go the Grand Prix one way or another.
Just my 2 cent. Hope to see you at VOI10.

The bashing of Detroit is all in fun. It's my hometown, so I get to have a little extra fun. I was just up there last week and drove around the city without any problems (went to a few Tiger games and even drove through the city at night...no problems). As with ANY big city, you have your good and bad areas, and I'm sure the VCA will do it's best to avoid the bad areas. Besides, there is safety in numbers!

With that being said...THE ROADS ARE AWFUL! This will never change. I have driven in Detroit since I was 16 and they have always been bad for as long as I can remember, even in the suburbs. But as I learned at CAAP, they actually road test one car a week on the streets up there...AND THEY SURVIVE!!!

This will be a cool event, only wish I could make it myself.

'Special' edition? Its a solid Viper Red with black interior, plain console and razor wheels. It will have a special sticker on the fender and go for a $5k premium. Buy a couple of 'em. Detroit? I hear that if you wear jewelry and hang your arm out the window, you might lose it (your arm). Ya, good luck at the casinos too! I hear the slots are really loose! ;)

WELL said and I am sure we will read about some mis-haps on here after the VOI !!

It is a bit too late for my friends. They have ordered something else. We have strongly believed that the 10th VOI edition Viper will be something highly unique. We have waited for nothing. Usually the most funny part of these VIPERS is the delivery process at the VOI. Making a Vipers after VOI doesn't make sense.

Actually, it is a variation on a color that hasn't been on a Viper previously nor will be again. It will be very unique from a variety of perspectives. Stay tuned!
