    Disrespecting the Viper

    I saw on Top Gear last week that there is a $1,200,000 Ferrari 599XXX that did the N. Ring in 6.98sec. You can buy the car but you can't have it. You probably can't even drive it and can never take it home. That's supposed to be a "PRODUCTION CAR"? Not according to any definition I ever...

    Disrespecting the Viper

    LOL. Chuck said it. Top Gear wrecked (several?) Vipers and the was told "NO" everytime they asked for another Viper. They burn a set of $1,000 tires of the car and say "thanks", it's the fastest but we prefer the cushy Z06 seats. I watched Top Gear do a Gm, Caddilac to dodge comparison...

    British Columbia gets new Speeding Law this month ...

    Usually the speed accidents also involve alcohol, but they "took care of that with those new laws? Anyone believe anything said by the Liberals anymore? You know, like "We've lowered the price of optional insurance by more than 33%." They raised the prices a lot, then lower them a little...

    British Columbia gets new Speeding Law this month ...

    Yah, it's another of the Liberals palns on cutting tourism. Completely retarded as I'm not likely to take 5 minutes to pass a supertrain Semi or buses by only going 20mph over the speed limnit when passing (32kph). I step on the gas and in less than a half second I'm well past 30mph (50kph)...

    Caravan to VOI 11

    I guess it's time to get this thread moving again. I'm booked into the Little America on the 29th. My figures show Nimpo Lake, Williams Lake, Kelowna, Spokane, Butte Montana (23 hrs and 987miles) and then (417mi.) a six hour drive to Salt Lake City. Calgary can go directly south along...

    Finally, Nimpo Cruise sept 11

    I expect that both the Vipers at the Nimpo Car Show will be the two parked beside my 440 Duster and they'll be my Red ACR and my Sapphire GTS. Not to worry, the Z06 driveline in the '57 Chev won't be able to keep up to my Duster or either of my Vipers if he wants to play. Like my ACR sales...

    Should have joined us for the June 4th Jasper event. It was a blast. Next Year? Ted

    Had a little OOPS at the autocross track last night. Caught on video.

    Greg and Sean are correct - driver error. However, the idea is to have the fstest time and the runcraps won't allow that to happen. I understand the save money and don't buy new tires while there's rubber on the runcraps, but I DID wreck a beautiful 98 Roe GTS while driving in the rain on...

    My Creampuff NA Build

    My 98 GTS with 600rwhp/644rwtq was fine with stock fuel system (not including injectors). IF it is fine on the dyno that doesn't necessarily mean that the car will be fine with acceleratio added to the equation. My mid 11s 72 Charger ran a 12.5 ET on street tires and 12.9 with slicks...

    WA Viper GTS up for grabs

    I hope that you're selling because you're buying a new Viper and not because you're financially forced to? Ted

    Need some advice

    Friends are great. You could swap BCMs with another car similar to yours and find out if that's the problem. Yes since the Dealer doesn't seem to think it's a problem they should be happy to swap out parts from a new Viper in their lot? I experienced a few mechanics telling me that they...

    Viper Owner Invitational #11 - BE THERE!

    Thanks Marv. I think I'll send a message to Larry Macedo and see if he'll be available to give me a tune for that. Ted

    Need some advice

    Phun70 said it best. However if you don't have a DVOM, why not just pull a few different fuses everytime you park it until the problem goes away? The Voltmeter should show a voltage drop in a day if the Battery drains within 2 days. I assume that you've tested the alarm system (on and...

    2002 GTS Final Edition badging question

    It's interesting. An earlier thread on the Sapphire cars seemed to show that about half the Sapphire cars had colored rear bumper emblems. Glad mine has all Chrome logos. I ordered chrome "Supercharged" emblems for my Sapphire GTS from RGW Distributing nearly 2 months ago. I asked them...

    Race the Base this Sat.

    This thread really need pics. I hear that the area I got my ticket is really BAD for sherriffs so I guess they really pus the speeding tickets in that area of highway.

    Race the Base this Sat.

    No hail for me. Got a ticket for 6mph just north of Edmonton. Drunks OK and the drunk was going 160kph after doing a few "runs" at me. I found a wide spot on the highway and slowed quickly. I guess the sheriffs there work in bulk on Friday mornings but no one works Sat. nights? That road...

    Race the Base this Sat.

    Yes, It was raining too hard to stop and take off the bra. It's not meant for the rain because it catches sand. Not many bugs and NO dust in the rain. I can't imagine riding in some of the rain storms I went through. 20mph and vision was nearly impossible. I think you'd ride off the road...

    World's Fastest Cars Event, Race the Base

    That Black FGT I was told makes 900rwhp on Nitrous Oxide. Ran one of the fastest times of the event. Ted

    Ford better at it then Dodge?

    Yah, Race the Base had a Saleen and a Shelby GT500 needing tows. The 5 Ford GTs worked great though. No other issues for the 80 other vehicles. Ted

    World's Fastest Cars Event, Race the Base

    Here's an onboard camera on a Haybusa. He did manage 3kph faster than Louie's 307kph run in his 665rwhp Paxton 2003 SRT10. I hope Insanity isn't contagious? Ahhh damn, it's too late for me, I already went 295kph on my ZX11 years ago ... uphill. Ted

    World's Fastest Cars Event, Race the Base

    I wondered if the vette guys parked themselves there or some Ferrari people 'helped' them out? I couldn't resist taking the pic but, of course. I'M too classy to mention it, :) Here's a pretty good video on your tube. The Black Ford GT had one of the fastest times there. There are a...

    Alberta vipers to salt lake city

    I understood that Ron was taking his Car in his trailer with the Motorhome (in case anyone breaks down he'll drive his viper and the breakdowners drive Ron's Motorhome? Since it's an easy 1 day drive for you guys that's not a big deal. Plans are to be there about Noon. Trevor Cameron is...

    Dave's Proportioning Valve ISSUES!

    The front brakes should hold the car easily at a stop. Since you stopped the car with the Ebrake it seems that neither the front or rear brakes are working properly. Bleed from the fathest brake to the closest. Ted
