Any Viper Owners Here? Check in here...

Just wondering how many Viper owners play over here? I just found this site and have noticed that there doesn't seem to be any actual Viper owners.

I know that the VCA forum is dying a slow death (as well as the Supra Forums and Modern Muscle Car). I'll hang out here for a while before I bring my Viper friends over.

Thanks for the welcome.

Brad

Mostly because of politics. The administrators are letting the vendors and tuners takeover the site. People like Hennessey and Sean Roe are getting criticized for bad business pratices, fraud, and defective products and the admin's are sensoring the user community. Guys like Hennessey are posting under multiple tag names (because of AOL) andretaliating against people who speak the truth about their services and business practices. Tuners and vendors also are made moderators to various sections, which is like letting the fox guard the hen house. It's too bad that the site owners let this happen to a perfectly good site.

Check out the threads on Hennessey and posted by GTSR45 (Hennessey's other tag name). If you want to know the truth about tuners, do your homework. Many of them have quite a few skeleotns in their closets (especially in the viper community). By the way, stop reading the garbage in magazines, because they always bend the truth in dramatic fashion. After more than a year of magazine marketing, Hennessey has not sold a single TT car. I personally would never recommend that anyone buy Hennessey (unless you live in Houston). He's not the only Viper tuner having problems with pissed off customers.

One last magazine note, have you noticed how much they are building up the C5 and Z06 Corvettes, but have never tested it against a '00 or later Viper with ABS? In fact which magazine has ever tested a '00/'01 or '02 Viper...? That's right NONE, because the magazine salaries (via advertising money) are paid by the maufacturers like GM, Ford, BMW, Porsche, Toyota/Lexus and Honda. Dodge is not part of that inner circle.

Wow, thanks for the info..

I know a lot of the mags are corrupt and are the Manufacturers' puppets..

But I haven't heard about Hennessey doing that before, I was thinking they were good enough and popular without having to lie and cheat people....

Yes it is unfortunate that Hennessey has to do this, because I have heard good things about his products (when he actually delivers).

So far he has not learned from it. I did look for the tuner problems posts and the admins have delted the entire thread (as well as many by GTSR45...thanks to the VCA Big Brother).
