    Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06

    I don't think that writer should believe he can just categorize all Viper owners as jackasses. He may be encountered a few but that doesn't mean we are all like that. Just like Venom V said: we do have our share of jerks esp on Viper Alley but they are in the minority. I've been to one...

    Who has put headers on their car?

    Definitely agree with that. They could have come out with good headers right from the factory. I would like to believe there was a logical reason they didn't.

    Westfield Insurance

    I see what you mean. The Abarth weights about 2,500 lbs versus the Dart's 3,200 lbs. The Dart though is a tough looking car.

    Westfield Insurance

    Does it have Sport mode or is it always "on?" The reason I asked is the Dart has the same engine as my Fiat 500 Abarth and I love the responsiveness of it. I have to select Sport Mode though for everything to kick in. Also I envy your 6 speed as I'm always wanting to shift into 6th and it only...

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    Tough looking car but look at that spoiler. Looks like it is held on by screws??

    2015 Z06 specs leaked 620hp/650tq

    So disappointing after all the hyped leaked photoshop pictures. You're right. It's just a regular stingray with a spoiler similar to the one on my TA and black brake duct.

    Scratched Viper idea and going with a C7 Z06

    Then I guess we will need to go to the Vette forums to see your feedback on the new Z06.

    Is 1500 rpm ok for cruising in 6th gear?

    Different gearing than my 08 ACR but I wouldn't shift to 6th until I hit 80 in my 08. Anything less and it seemed to lug the engine.

    Forum Changes

    I don't own a Viper Truck but I applaud that change as well as having a category listed as owner. I have often thought of the relationship between the trucks and the Vipers especially at some auto shows I have attended.

    Rocky Mountain Radar Detectors?

    I run four V1's in our vehicles and wouldn't buy anything else although I'm sure the Escorts are probably equivalent.

    Problem with door

    What year? Edited: disregard question as I see you have a 2013. Haven't heard of anyone else having that problem.

    Exhaust and Smog help!

    I'm glad we don't have smog inspections and tests here. Here's the problem I have with smog tests. The intent is good but we lived in Colorado for several years and initially as long as your car passed the emissions everything was ok. Then they said it had to have all the factory equipment...

    Orange TA #200006 on the truck from Woodhouse

    Yes on the carbon fiber. Can't tell you about the drone because our streets are snow packed so I haven't been able to drive it yet but sounds good in my garage (LOL).

    Orange TA #200006 on the truck from Woodhouse

    Here are some pics of the delivery. Dean Muhs, great driver and great to visit with. http://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=G4NGihmROeQ Video isn’t that great – was trying to capture the sound with the new headers and Corsa exhaust. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCOljyp8U0o&feature=youtu.be

    Orange TA #200006 on the truck from Woodhouse

    I think they have quit doing that. I got the free membership when I bought my 08.

    Orange TA #200006 on the truck from Woodhouse

    That was my plan but I kept looking at the TA's and decided to trade in the ACR. Also, I've seen pics of the Black TA's. They are bad ass looking as well. Now, if they produce an ACR in the next 2 - 3 years I'll probably pick one up.

    Orange TA #200006 on the truck from Woodhouse

    Actually I already had a VIN because I've owned an ACR for 5 years and VCA member since 2008. I think it is because I'm no longer a VCA member.

    Orange TA #200006 on the truck from Woodhouse

    The Woodhouse truck will arrive tomorrow with a new Orange TA. I purchased it a few days ago but was waiting as Mark's staff installed Belanger headers and a Corsa exhaust plus the tow hook. Won't be any pictures (sorry). I just noticed enthusiasts aren't really allowed to post pics or I...

    Why did they destroy this Gen II?

    A judge gave an order to destroy it due to it's inherent danger. Later someone told him, "Your honor. It was a car, not a snake!"

    Porsche owner kills Paul Walker ???

    100mph on a close city street? Sad; but very few would try that.
