    Frank Parise's Comp Coupe delivery

    Re: Frank Parise\'s Comp Coupe delivery Tony, thank you very much for taking the time to post these photos for me. I need to learn how to do this myself. This is exactly how my Comp Coupe arrived. It obviously needs to be painted. The front fascia is the same rubber piece that is used on...

    Vette/Viper Challenge Road Racing Series Approved by NASA!

    If NASA was smart they would homologate the GT-1, GT-2, and GT-C Vipers from the Viper Racing League into the proper classes for the NASA series. This is where 90% of the existing race-prepared Vipers are found. I understand that the western region of NASA is attempting the same series. Good...

    First track experience in an SRT-10

    Dean, we didn't have a timer in our car but Tony Estes told me he was 4 seconds quicker in the SRT-10 than he was a couple years ago in his Super Modified 96 GTS Racer (and his racecar was on Hoosiers!) After thinking about it for a couple of days, I believe the reason for the big improvement...

    First track experience in an SRT-10

    On Thursday, Tony Estes and I shared a 30-minute hot lap session in a factory owned SRT-10. We were on the west track at Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix. I'm still recovering from the shock of what I experienced. As a matter of background, I've spent the last six years road racing a...

    Buying a Viper Friday.. Could use your help?

    Bruce, I'd suggest you contact the VCA President in the Nevada Region. His contact info should be posted at www.viperclub.org. Usually the local VCA is familiar with cars within their region. Of course, you will want to join the VCA.

    Ramps for single car enclosed trailer for Comp Coupe? help!

    Pit Pal Products makes aluminum ramps that attach to the inside of your rear trailer door. They work great on Vipers with very low ride heights. They are hinged so that they fold up and hang down on the inside of your door when traveling. I purchased mine from Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies...

    Viper Wreck at PIR

    I did not witness the accident, but I was at the track when it happened. This was far from being a horrific crash and the car was not in nearly as bad shape as many I have seen peeled off the walls at PIR. I spoke to the driver after he had been interviewed by the track officials. It was a...

    Viper Days 2003 Season begins Jan 25th at Willow Springs

    Last year the entry fee for the VRL racers was $749 per event. This is $150 more than what was charged to the Michelin Challenge Series guys. This does not include Friday test sessions or guest fees. Friday test fees are $100-200 for the day. Guest food tickets are usually $125 for the...

    Bob,read earlier in this thread. I go over the details of dealer's invoice and my cost, which is $1,000 over invoice. This is the same price offered by the dealership to all VCA members.

    SRT PURCHASE PRICE

    Tom, I have not seen the window sticker or my car yet. I pick it up tomorrow. The dealer (Bill Luke Dodge) faxed me a copy of the invoice so that I could be sure I was getting the deal I bargained for. My name and address were actually on the dealer invoice as was the Vehicle Order Number...

    Did anyone pick up their Comp Coupe yet?

    The information I possess may have already changed again, but for now my understanding is: C1 has not been completed but is supposed to be ready sometime next week. I have written paperwork that my C2 is now supposed to be ready for shipment on January 10. C3 is now supposed to be ready for...

    Just recd call from Eric about comp coupe

    Wayne, I didn't ask about which magazines would cover the Comp Coupe launch. Probably only Viper Magazine. Dixter, beautiful paint scheme. If you plan on racing your car, you may want to consider staying away from metallic paints that are hard to match/touch up. MBARR, I polled the Comp...

    GTS vs. ACR Suspension

    I'm curious as to exactly what the shock settings and tire pressures are for those owners who are experiencing difficulty getting their 01-02 ACR handling the way they would like it. On my 01 ACR I am able to make the ride horrific or wonderful by leaving my rebound on very stiff settings and...

    Some GTS-R pics from the SF Auto Show

    GTS vs. ACR Suspension

    Having easily adjustable ride heights, springs, and adjustable shocks put you at a real advantage for track purposes. Springs are relatively cheap at around $100 per pair, so you can spring your car at any rate you are comfortable with. The ACR set up is sweet so long as you learn how to dial...

    Just recd call from Eric about comp coupe

    The Comp Coupe is delivered on a new set of the Hoosier race slicks. If you have ordered extra sets of wheels, they are shipped to you without any tires. Nobody has canceled their order. I was moved up in the schedule because I agreed to let them paint my car and they needed a painted car to...

    Just recd call from Eric about comp coupe

    Received an update on my Comp Coupe from Eric today. I've been moved up from car #5 to car #2. The roll cage is being installed today. They will paint my car black with silver stripes. The standard factory paint job will leave all carbon fiber parts such as the splitter, wing, diffuser...

    OMG! - ACR guys

    Toronto, The ACR has adjustable shocks that profoundly influence the handling characteristics of your Viper. All you have to do is remove the wheel from your car and look at the shock absorber. At the top of the shock just below where it is attached to the frame of the car you will...

    OMG! - ACR guys

    Toronto, where do you have your compression and rebound adjusters set to? Your shocks may simply be adjusted too stiff for your liking.

    Just receive my Pilot Club Slicks, hmmm..

    The Club Slick was made specifically for the Viper Days race series in 1998. They were made because the Michelin Pilot was deemed to be inadequate for road racing a Viper that had more than factory stock power. I purchased three complete sets (12 tires) and had to pay the going price, which...

    OMG! - ACR guys

    I just purchased an '01 ACR as a street car. I thought I would check the ACR Dynamic shock manual that came with the car. I found some very interesting information. First of all, it said that the factory ride heights were set to 5-1/8" in the front and 5" in the rear (measured from the frame...
