    17" Tire Help

    Just checked their site, looks like 315x35x17 is the largest in 17s. Not sure how that will look, but I know they will hook and can handle the rain better then some drag radials.

    17" Tire Help

    Do the Toyo R888s come in 17 inch sizes? I have had those on a Shelby GT500 making 600 at the wheels and they hooked well and also have enough groves to push through the rain and puddles.

    Viper Magazines ??

    Thanks for the update Greg and for the hard work. Maybe we should organize a magazine committee and get some volunteers to help. Anyone willing to step up?

    Is the SRT Viper an instant classic??

    Interesting views, since I just seem to buy and never sell any cars (yes I have problem and I am seeking treatment) guess it doesn't really matter to me whether it becomes a classic or not, I would drive it to Alaska tomorrow if there was a good track there. Over all, it seems that Vipers...

    Gen V & Challenger Hellcat

    The Challenger will weigh in above 4000 lbs, even with the same HP, it won't beat a Viper, but I bet it is gonna do incredible burnouts...

    Hot Rod Power Tour 2014

    I have done one segment, once. I was impressed with how well organized it was. I got in trouble though, apparently your not suppose to blow by the power tour official lead car at 160 mph. I am trying to make tail of the dragon, but I have a graduation to attend, so this could be an option.

    Is the SRT Viper an instant classic??

    Ok, I've been around awhile, but what are the Chrsyler Vipers? I know about the Dodge Vipers for those years, but production numbers are higher.

    Is the SRT Viper an instant classic??

    Since Viper will become the Dodge Viper, and the SRT Viper product numbers at about 1300 cars. Will the 2013-2014 SRT Viper become an instant classic? How will history look at this?

    Formal Announcement: VOI 13.640HP

    On the track time, normally in the late afternoon things thin out, so if you are truly a track rat, then hangout all day and you should be able to get a lot of runs. Some of my best vacations have been VOIs, and the way this one is shapping up, I think it is going to be one for the record books....

    sad news...viper plant shuttered until end June.

    In 1992 the Viper became a true American Super Car following the GT40 and Cobra427, every generation has improved on the prior, the Gen 5 has solidified the Viper's place on the 21st century stage of super cars. If you drive one you will see.....

    We have Sunday on tentative hold, that could be an optional track rat day, but depends on how many sign up. Maybe we will get lucky and a large vendor will step up and rent the day???

    Formal Announcement: VOI 13.640HP

    Generally, as the afternoon wears on, many people head back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. I have gotten some fast laps near the end of the day, with minimal traffic and many runs. We have the track from 8am until 5pm, so I think there will be plenty of runs to be had. I can't wait for...

    Announcement: Viper vs Viper - Gen5 Edition

    I must say the races were closer than I thought they would be. The F16s went with min fuel and did a full military power takeoff, less the after burners. The jets were probably airborne just after 2000 feet. Greg and I had to be on our A game, spinning off the line or even slow shifts would...

    Formal Announcement: VOI 13.640HP

    I believe the early VOIs were open to all Viper owners. With the state of our Viper nation right now, it seemed only prudent to open it to all Viper owners. This is about having fun with your brethren Viper owners ad with the cars.
