    09 ZR1, didn't buy it!

    I think they realize that some day that 09 Viper is going to be worth more than any of their Vettes.....

    Whats your local dealer saying?

    This is in another post I put up, but I got a grim look at the future yesterday. Daytona Dodge, who has always had Vipers and sold many over the years, told me yesterday that they sold their last Viper yesterday. They won't be getting any more Vipers, EVER! They are waiting for the Fiats and...

    09 ZR1, didn't buy it!

    I suppose if the price had been really good, I could have justified it from a collector stand point, but at $129K it was no steal. I had no room to negotiate as they had someone coming to pick it up at that price if I didnt take it. I think the biggest distingushing factor is when you sit in...

    09 ZR1, didn't buy it!

    Yesterday I got a call from Daytona Dodge, they had the president of NASCAR's 2009 ZR1 for sale, only 140 miles on it, and they gave me first option to buy it. I went down there in an 08 Viper and parked right next to it. I looked it over, sat in it, ran the engine, could have driven it ( and...

    May 2nd lunch & Cruise, @ Big Dawgs in JAX.

    Thats why you and the Wif need to stop building the big house, load up the truck, kids, and cars and move to Florida, plus we have year round racing, it actually gets better in the winter.

    Vendor Review: Macedo Motorsports

    Macedo does all the work on my cars, including brands other than Dodge, yes I admit I own Fords, and Chevys. Larry is one of the best people you will ever meet, his knowledge of the Viper and the V-10 I would put up against anyone in the World. He just finished putting a twin screw on my SRT8...

    12 hours of Sebring

    So Chuck are you in?? I am not sure how many Vipers will be running, but without factory backing there probably will be more Fords and Caddys. Still it is a great Venue and a great place to group 25 Vipers together, especially if we get the parade lap. Might be a good show for anyone...

    4 ACRS on the track today

    We did not do a lot of timing, as most of the members were more concerned with driving the track safely. I was able to peddle a 4200 lb Dodge Charger SRT8 around in 1.51, the car has the Brembo factory upgrades, SS brake lines, and high temp fluid. Huge difference the brakes never faded. I...

    4 ACRS on the track today

    We had 4 ACRS show up today at the new road course at Keystone Florida. Truely what these cars were designed for. I left mine in street trim and did not put on the front splitter as, I drove it 120 miles to the track and had to drive it back at the end of the day. Oneof the guys switched at...

    ACR Dyno numbers

    Ok, I Checked with Macedo. His dyno is a Dynojet, and the numbers were SAE corrected. The lowest pull we got was 580 rwhp the highest was 586 rwhp. Now, I know I am going to catch some flack here, but when I asked Larry if he dynoed before the exhaust he said "no," I asked him what the 08...

    Road Course event Nov. 2nd

    We can collect at that track, makes it easier to do the credit card forms before the track date, so that we get everything paid for. But no problem if you want to show up on Sunday we have room. Driver's meeting is at 9 am. Hope you can make it, bring the Vette on the slicks, so we can see...

    ACR Dyno numbers

    I believe it is a DynoJet, I will check in the morning. I know it is a "load dyno" and I have found it to be conservative compared to other dynos. My Z28 dynoed 576 rwhp on another dyno and 556 rwhp on this one. I will post the dyno sheet tomorrow, I was surprized also, but the lowest it...

    ACR Dyno numbers

    Very impressed, ACR baselined 540 ish rwhp, Macedo Motorsports added a Corsa and some filters, THEN BAM, 586 rwhp and 560 rwtq. This motor is so deep! Picking it up tomorrow and will be able to comment on the seat of the pants dyno. I can't wait for the Mopar PCM for this thing, I would say it...
