    I want the viper but it says 'you no fit'

    if you can find reputable upholstery shop and racing preparation shop in your area, talk to them about building you a modified seat. the reason i'd go to a racing shop is that I would not trust just anyone to cut/weld/bend stuff in the seat since it is is a critical crash safety component in...

    Ometer 8243 Factory Fit NAV/DVD Replacement Stereo Headunit.

    appears to also be produced as "Hasda H-988" (you can search on alibaba), with few versions out there, latest one looking exactly like your pictures. "Hasda - the spread of passion at the moment" (this is from their website, I'm serious). Maybe one of the Viper community vendors can get a...

    Thoughts on this car for occasional track days please.

    Welcome to the club. I remember you from AX&RR forums :) I tracked C5Z for 6+ years and wanted something different, so similar boat. Looked long and hard at C6Z. In the end, it became pretty clear that unless I can find one that was built and maintained well, there would be too many things...

    Gen III & IV Values Once 2013 is out?

    13 datapoints mixing Coupes, ACRs and Convertibles, with a single sale for 2008 car at 85k a week ago skewing the rest of already statistically irrelevant data. As far as Ford GT goes, it does appear to be a valid example (not that familiar with Ford GT market in the last few years), although...

    Gen III & IV Values Once 2013 is out?

    For those claiming that the value of existing cars would be "firmed", "boosted", etc why don't you enlighten the rest of us with an example of an American-made car going up in used car value year-to-year, even once, within first 15 years of age. Go ahead.

    SRT Experience at Pacific Raceways

    if you are interested in safe introduction to the limits of your Viper before you dive into track experiences, racing schools or such, I highly recommend PCA Driver Skills day, we do them almost every month at Bremerton, it is a lot cheaper than a track school and gives you a good idea about...

    What to do when you lose control of a SRT10?

    check in with your local chapter of Porsche Owners Club, most regions put on "Driver Skills" events on a regular basis. I volunteer and instruct for the one in our area. There are multiple car control excersizes in a safe and controlled setting, that is hard to set up during a track day or even...

    Thankfully not a Viper.... but damn, I don't wish this on ANYONE...

    i am glad at least one more person actually watched the video it's the driver (it's almost always the driver). watch him gun it around cones in the first part, even as his front start sliding. course design is fine - he is the only one who damaged his car on that day, after all. i am...

    ACR tires

    i've now driven the Viper on PS Cups in low 30 temps a couple of times. Not something I would recommend if there is any moisture on the road. On the dry pavement it's manageable just to get from point A to point B. Since then I got a second set of wheels and put NT05 on them - they work a lot...

    sounds about right for your interpretation of it that involves some millions dying for your right to purchase traction-control-free vehicle

    Next gen Viper discussed in AutoWeek...scary!!

    while I agree that stability/traction computers are replacing driver skill and competence, let's not be too quick to overthrow "the government" in retaliation. how many people do you know who would choose to buy a car which has advanced stability computers as opposed to that exact same car that...

    ACR tires

    on the 2nd day of owning the ACR I did about 100 miles in 46degrees and quickly falling temps, it was about 40 when I parked it for the night. did some autocross in mid-40s the day after on a wet track. They don't work very well but they are still tires. I drove a Porsche on Pilot Sport cups in...

    Track Car for Teenager

    i tracked my mazdaspeed3 and it has some potential - although it is not a trivial car to get going really fast and there is not much you can do once you reach the limits of FWD (although for a new driver that could take quite some time). Pretty frustating to sit on 260hp coming around the...

    new ACR owner, some track prep questions

    just a halloween decoration - nothing permanent! The car has been great so far, I think I am finally getting used to sitting so far back of the center point - very different from what I am used to

    new ACR owner, some track prep questions

    Thanks to all who helped or made offers through PM/e-mail. I am going with a harness set from teamtech, an extra set of take-off 5 spoke wheels, and Nitto-NT05 tires. thanks a lot to JonB who is helping with the harness order, as well as providing the mounting hardware, not to mention...
