The people that know me all know that I am pretty much obsessed with the GTS and older ACRs. I tried to fight it, but when they DO come out with that car I think that I will be unhappy with my GTSs until I upgrade to the new Viper. I promise that I did try not to like it. I LOVE IT!

Thanks to all that put effort into this event. Chris, Mary and Marv are the top "Thankees" (as far as I saw). Ralph Gilles was spectacular as was Herb Helbig (Grailkeeper) and Dick Winkles (SRT engine designer).
Ralph Gilles was walking away and our WC pres saw his "God made Vipers so...
Great meeting all you guys there! Bottlefed was having Final dinner at our table before we left and our table won a LOT of JonBs door prizes. 1tony1 was great chatting with you there. Thanks for the Great memories guys.
Kelly, I gotta say thinks for the tag ... whenever someone didn't say...
I have a Roe supercharger!!!! and a Paxton supercharged ACR.
The Roe comes with 49# injectors to replace the stock 29#. Then Paxton uses a splitsecond box for timing and turning on the 2 extra fuel pumps for fuel enrichment and doesn't need anything else unless you want a further power...
Check with Chuck Tator first, but I'm pretty sure that any trans, differential shop can do a gear swap on a Viper since our differentials are basically truck rearends. Chuck may gie you advice on the perfered gap to prevent whining.

I bought my second Viper to resell (invested money) and my wife says,"SEll the Blue one." WTF? She isn't into cars that can turn around faster than her.
A few times I heard her refer to my ACR as "her Viper".
Weird, just because it's quieter, smoother and rides nicer than my GTS...
I didn't leave today as planned. Hwy 20 washed out on sunday and now we're stranded and there is no way out with a car. Serious flooding and bridges washed out in Bella Coola. the HILL is closed "until further notice" because of mudslides. Highway east and west are impassable. Might be 3...
I have to cancel on the wife's dinner. Roads are washed out for over a mile so we're marooned here with the only way out is to fly. Only one seat left on the plane leaving wed. so the wife stays behind.

Update, 14 cars showed up. 57 Nomad blew a headgasket a few miles before the Dean so he didn't left it at the Wilderness Rim Resort.
Weather sucked as it showered and rained at least half the day. 7 car local and 7 from Williams Lake and quesnel. A mostly original T bucket (with...
I'm sorry to say that instead of being at Williams Lake right now, I'm stuck at home.
Couple days or rain and 'poof' no more road. Bridges, mudslides and washouts have caused evacuations in Bella Coola, the Hill and the plateau west of Anahim Lake. Yesterday morning we were informed that...
All I could get in AZ was KDW 2s last spring. Drove through a blizzard and a few rainstorms on my way through Nevada and Seattle and the tires were fine.
Bought a set of PS2s for my Roe GTS and got them installed in an hour. Drilled the VR1s (it was tough) and installed the TPMS sensors...
I think Leslie's got the right idea. Maybe you could get your wife to the track with one of your/her friends? I would thin that after a day, she'd let you know in no uncertain terms exactly how much she liked it. And Leslie showing her the ropes would probably show how "the elite females" do...
Is your Viper in excellent/show condition - or is it "just a Viper"? Car Shows are usually for concours and modified vehicles.
Vipers do show well as compared to stock vettes and mustangs - Vipers are definitely the most popular of the aforementioned cars.

I show my Vipers often...
Jon, if I win the exhaust I only get a piece of paper/gift certificate ... right? Even though I own a GTS ...
I can only fit 2 tires in the car - if I get rid of wife and suitcases. And that wouldn't make her happy.
Ted
Wish they would standardize. When I used to build chassis's it was very important to build the wheels tubs to EXACTING sizes. I always had to wait until the tires were delivered and mounted - or use tire sizes that I already had the dimensions of. PIA.

New question Tom,
Now that Mobile 1 has been bought by Exxon I recently bought a gallon of Mobile one at a cheapo price. Once I got it home I couldn't find anywhere that said "full synthetic" of "synthetic blend". I used Pennzoil full synthetic in my Viper instead.
Exxon making some big...
Thanks. I never use the forumla because the tire companies forget to make their tires according to "proper proceedure":lmao:
Too often I would buy a replacment tire of a different brand and when I got the tires, they were 3/4" narrower than the ones on the car. Now I order tires according...
