    New SRT Viper Slowly Slithers Out of the Shadows

    Monday, 20th February, 2012

    Just last month Chrysler's SRT division served up their first teaser image of the upcoming all-new Viper, cloaked ominously in the shadows. Well, SRT now reckon the time is right to charm the big snake into the light and give us the first glimpse of its new, shiny skin.

    Okay, not exactly. While the Viper has finally slithered into the light, we're still just as much in the dark as we were before. What we can tell for sure from the newest teaser SRT just released over on their Facebook page is that we're looking at a scoop that's been crafted from carbon fiber. Since it is a carbon fiber scoop on a V-10-powered serpent, we can assume it probably directs cool air somewhere, maybe to the engine, maybe to the brakes. Oh, it’s also been painted red.

    We should know what sort of function the scoop serves in April at the New York Auto Show, where SRT is planning to officially pull the wraps off of the new Viper. Until then, we’re free to debate on what exactly we’re looking at and continue to wait out the next few weeks in slow agony.

    I so hate Facebook, what a worthless site. They continue to prove why I will never open an account. No image to see and they try to pushout pop up crap and say you need to join to see an image.

    So far this Snake is not winning any points with me. It still seems ugly and I for one am not impressed with this way of trying to get interest in their Halo Car.

    ok first of all that teaser has been out for about a month. and all it tells us is SRT can Photoshop. i wont even touch the last comment and how Facebook is useful in many many ways. but i am still excited about this car. ive seen other teasers of the car under the usual cloak. it looks really impressive. smaller then the last one too.

    • Thank you very much.  I knew you'd chime in.  It has borrowed some 25 GB ... that I want back!  I'll make myself a cup of hot tea this week when I hope to be more relaxed and do this.
    • Yes, that is true that Windows upgrade uses the space to make all the changes, but it should release it fairly soon. You can go in and do some house cleaning: Free Up Space on the Current Drive Open File Explorer, right-click the 😄 drive, and select Properties. Click Disk Cleanup and select files to delete, such as temporary files and old system updates. Click OK to proceed. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run powercfg.exe -h off to disable hibernation and free up space. Move large files or folders (e.g., Documents, Downloads, Pictures) to another drive: Right-click the folder, select Properties, go to the Location tab, and click Move. Uninstall unnecessary apps via Settings > Apps > Installed apps. Also check out this as this covers what most other articles also state about cleaning up and freeing up space after a Win11 upgrade. How to reclaim space after upgrading Windows 11 to newer version
    • Nothing negative to say about it, other than its a SUV...and nothing negative about the body creases that go from the front to the back, but they do remind me of the creases on the Graf Zeppelin.    And I kinda like them on the BMW.  But I really really hate the fact that it is a SUV.  *sigh*      About the front and BMW's new design language.   I like it.  @Drew Dowdell said that its kinda new round of retro 2.0 styling. And I would agree.  At least the 'twin kidneys' are toned down a lot from the monstrosities they were putting out.  The one complaint I got is I would prefer if the headlights and 'grille' were more centered on the face. More 'down' on the front eliminating all that nothingness that is 3/4s of the front and the top 1/4 are the lights and twin kidneys.   
    • I feel like they've finally fixed their design language with this, though its almost a new round of neo-retro like we had in the early 2000s with the PT Cruiser, Neu Beetle, HHR, etc.
    • Windows 11 ... Ok, the laptop was upgraded from Windows 10.   There were a couple of power offs and restarts.  Once I got onto the Microsoft Installation Assistant, it went smoothly. Interfaces and dialogue boxes are a little more user friendly. Here's the deal.  I had about 45 GB free before I started the upgrade.  I understand that Windows 11 takes up about the same amount of space as 10.  I've seen posts where people complain that it has taken up a larger amount of disk space than they had before.  The answer comes back that the system drive is temporarily "borrowing" this surplus of space and we'll be giving it back over time.  Is this plausible?  Duplicate files?  How long to get the extra GBs freed up? Thanks.
