    I tried that, but I couldn't reach the clutch or the shifter

    VOI was great.

    I don't remember, but I think you're right. He did collect a couple stickers - but he wanted my new headers, lol. Joe C won a monster Mouse pad. Ted

    Anyone else think this smells like Gen V?

    But now that we've seen the Gen 5 Viper I think that 99% of the world will agree that the new Gen5 Viper concept is even prettier than the GTS. I never expected to see any car look better than a GTS - but now I have. The Ferrari really looks terrible compared to the new Viper. If the two...

    Finally upgraded the GTS - self installed it too!

    I was expecting Big Brakes or a TT. Cupholders are usefull in a highway car. They don't work so well if you're racing as the cups always fly out of the holder. I built removeable small metal brackets that have 'clip on' cupholders. Is your cupholder removable? I had to rewire and...

    VOI was great.

    I drove the World's Fastest Production Car (Nurburgring ACR) at the track! Hope that a few other guys did too? I heard that a few missed the opportunity because there was a LOT of corp execs that went first. I drove an SRT and an SRT coupe through the autoX. 'vert was pushing on my...

    Race the Base Top Speed Challenge on TV

    Discovery Channel is going to air parts of Race the Base on Sunday at 6pm says an email from Zahir. I invited Herb Helbig (Grail Keeper) to come up to the Race the Base next year and he's interested. I also invite an new 1600+rwhp TT from ART and he also said he'd like to come up to Canada...

    Selling My Paxton Powered 04

    I lowered my 802rhp 00 ACR to $50K and didn't sell it to 2 people that wanted a cheaper, less powerful, less collectable car? Thye paid a couple thousand less for the ones they did buy. Weird market. One guy is currently building a new engine for his new car. Good luck. Ted

    Man, This guy has an engine JUST LIKE MINE!

    Guess it wouldn't be OK to track him down and hit him repeatedly with a big stick until he's unable to steal your pics to try and steal money from honest people? I posted a Shelby Daytona with 400hp and it may have been the same loser trying to sell my car. His ad was cancellled within a few...

    Oil level in Roe Supercharger

    I suspect the "best way" to change the oil is to removed the blower and dump the oil, put some clean, thin oil in it and try washing, then dump again. Re-instal blower and refil with fresh oil. Sean recommends an oil change ever 50,000 miles. Ted

    Overheating issue - Thermostat or Water Pump?

    Sounds like a thermostat issue to me - or maybe air in the block??? Can you check for air at the rear of the engine? Have a bleeder? Does your heater sometimes blow cold air when it's heating up? (indicates no water in heater core). Usually the platic impeller works ok when it's cold, but...

    VOI 11 Photos, Lets See Em!

    Hey, if you post pics of Porsches and Volvos then I think that you should also post that Kuno WON the World Sportscar Wars. I asked the Volvo guy how stock the engine in their cars were and he mentioned that they run a lot of boost so that even the cylinderwalls/sleeves are upgraded...

    Solo drivers and folks that didn't bring their car

    I just called Joe Christopherson when I lost my opportunity to take my Vipers. I figure that I look better in the sapphire/silver GTS so even though it was certainly different to ride on the right side, Joe drove me around most of the event and then we went to Vegas for a couple days...

    Who won??

    Congratulations! Stephanie Izard of the Southern cali VCA. As far as the headers go ... I won another set of Bellanger headers at the Farewell Dinner that JonB had Lou B donate to the farewell dinner. Woohoo, they're going for the 2000ACR with the Paxton that I couldn't afford to buy for...

    Default Looking For An Honest Viper Member From Voi 11!!!

    At the Vegas airport today I heard a guy yelling, "Sir, your wallet, you dropped your wallet." I just knew it was another VCA member helping out a fellow human! Most people in the world are good people, too bad we're not allowed to shoot the evil and nasty ones to get the "good people"...

    Time And Location Of Web Site Meeting

    Well although that was a short meeting it was great to meet you guys. Thanks for the ID Lee, it seemed that more people knew me from that than my huge VOI 11 ID tag, Ted

    Winnings and JonB

    At the farewell dinner I won the table centerpiece! Then, since I missed my wife I stepped outside and gave her a quick call on the Cell. The banquet hall got quiet and the Cell phone signal went dead so I walked back into the Banquet Hall. Bottlefed (and the rest of the table) informed me...

    VOI 11 Photography - T.Galyean

    Can't wait until Chad shows us HIS Hooters girls from Vegas when he gets home. I was at Park City and shot a Vipergirl. MUCH nicer than a Hondo Hooters girl ... Her name is Janet Bristek ... Ted

    VOI 11 Photos, Lets See Em!

    Sorry ... I didn't really mean that I was the cops boss. I meant the whole situation as a photo opportunity. I asked the Cops to arrest someone and it was all in fun. As far as the lawyer being a Viper owner - Bob couldn't make it Ted

    My VOI 11 Story

    Sapphire Bob, no Sapphire/silver Viper????? Here's an action pic. Joe Christopherson (Wash club) and I were at the Park City when the cops were speaking with 'certain drivers'. As we were leaving there were a few burnouts done in front of us. At the end of the car lineup Joe did a...

    VOI 11 Photos, Lets See Em!

    I walked over the to the cops at Park City and said, "Can I get you guys to arrest somone for me?" They said, "sure, who do you want us to arrest?" I walked out to the middle of the street and grabbed the first Viper owner I saw walking by ... He grabbed his radio and told me that...

    Nurburgring ACR driving experience

    It's a secret that the VCA members were priveledged to view thanks to Ralph Gilles considering the Viper Club people to be part of his family. Chris Marshall helped with that I think. If there was pics then probably Ferrari, Aston Martin and GM vettes would steal the styling, but it is...

    Nurburgring ACR driving experience

    Last Thursday I got to drive the Nurburgring ACR record holder ACR around Miller motorsports track! I had my supercharged Sapphire/silver GTS ready to go last Monday for the drive to VOI 11, then the stupid road washed out and I had to scramble to find a flight and a passenger seat...

    Vette Forum's ZR1 vs ACR challenge?

    Maybe Lou, whoever he is should take his car to theRing and try to beat the Record that was set by the 2008 ACR (not even the 2010 ACR with it's faster trans and much faster aeros nor that the wing has been radically redesigned). The 2010 spoiler has vents that work with the spoiler and help...

    Are the Gen II's value a little too high??

    Although many people prefer the Gen 3 most prefer the GTS. Such as me. I own 2 GTSs and could have had any Viper, but I prefered supercharged and heavily modified cars as well. This last year has seen quite a few Gen 3 s being modified, but they're mostly verts and therefor impractical for me...
