    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.

      EV Home Charging: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

      By Robert Hall · Posted

      Got a set of Firestone Firehawk all season tires to replace the Bridgestone Potenzas that were getting close to the wear bars on the Cadillac.  I drove more last week (2051 miles) than I drove it last year (1750 miles over 2025). It's at 63k now.  Will drive it more this year.   The Jeep will probably need a new set of tires before next winter, at 52000 miles and 8+ years on the current Michelin Defender XT all seasons. Probably will get a new set of the same.  Drove the Jeep about 3000 miles in 2025.  It's at 83k now.  Still have a few years left on the 15 yr/150k extended warranty.  Working from home and using a lot of home delivery really cuts down on the miles.

      The CrossClimates will be the next set on the Chrysler.  Albert blew out the right rear on his set of Blizzaks on Thursday and it was unrepairable, so the whole set is getting covered by the road hazard warranty. BUT I also have summer tires, so I ran back home, got those, and had those put on. Albert is at 25k miles a year lately and though that will calm down eventually, it's going to pick up for the next 6 months, so I expect him to burn through the summers by the time October rolls around. I'll trade both sets in (they gave me back 3 of the Blizzaks) and get a credit towards the CrossClimates. They'll be the last set of tires I put on it because we'll trade out of it around 130k - 140k once Mopar will no longer warranty it. I don't feel like buying two more sets of tires for it.  I hear great reviews about them. Sure, but in the end the EV comes out ahead. Also, random bombings in the middle east don't significantly shift the monthly family budget.

      Cool little video, thanks.  The music sort of reminds me of ... never mind! Arlington, Texas was the final assembly point for both of our family's Cutlass Supreme coupes.  I thus have a fondness for that GM plant. I spent way too much time in college going to check out cars - from classifieds, at dealerships ... Had I not done that, I could have graduated magna or summa!  Maybe ...

      What I was really going to say: On this 14th of March, what type of pie are you having, going to have, or, if not partaking, would like to have had? I'm in door #3 and, as far as pie goes, I wouldn't even know where to start.
