    San Diego Viper owners/autocrossers chime in.

    Jeff, I make it out for autocrossing once in a while. However, Viperdays is the 7th and 8th so I will be heading to Buttonwillow that weekend. I like autocrossing but nothing beats the rush of running on a road course. I like showing the Gen IIs what an old slow Gen I can do. Just ask SoCal...

    hoosier question

    Folks, I did some searching but couldn't find the answer to this question. With my track alignment on my car I eat the inside of the tires quickly. Why do you have to run Hoosiers with the same side always in even when you swap on from right to left on the car. Wouldn't seem like it would make...

    you won't believe this one.....

    you won\'t believe this one..... Went to the a Viper drag event on Sat. here is So. Cal. After the event my wife and I were on I-5 headed north to LA. A green Eclipse came up beside us checking out the viper. A young guy around 19 or so was driving. The car was fixed up and he hit it a couple...

    Vmainia windows

    never had that trouble with mine. Make sure you are using the straps to "tie" them in at the front. If you don't at speed they tend to get pulled away from the top by the wind. Can't wait to hear about the new secret top. I love my V-mania hardtop but a better soft top would be great on trips...

    Gen I smokes highly modded GenII

    Never underestimate the power of the mighty GenI. But then again I own a '94 so I am fan. Don't know either driver but that can make a huge difference.

    The 9 cylinder Road Racer!!!!

    Wow, I have to get in on this one. Not only did John spin my car he did a James Bond move by throwing rocks all over my car while I was chasing him the session before. Too hot trying to pull the mighty GenI down the front straight and then into the dirt and rocks. I ran within 2 seconds of my...

    Hardtop, Mopar Factory or Aftermarket?

    Biff's top is the way to go. Had mine for a year or so and it is great. Goes on and off quick and easy. I dropped the money for the scoop and I think it is worth it, gets lots of attention and looks cool.

    Southern California Vipers, or those visiting so cal in Vipers

    Allen, I have the set up you are describing on my 94 so it is the side pipe set up. I love the sound and the power. I live in Ramona and would be happy to let you get a look and listen at it. Email me at [email protected] if you are interested. Good luck, Ken

    Viper Days - Willow Springs - Write-up (long, w/ pics)

    This was my first Viperdays and I had a blast. I had been to several other events at Willow but Viperdays was by far the best one I have been to. It is very well organized and ran right on schedule. Having Bobby and John Archer there to help with tire and mechanical issues was great as well...

    Willow Springs ate a few Vipers this weekend

    Ulysses, Been too busy to read the board for a while so I just saw your message. Man, really sorry to hear about your car. As you know I feel your pain as I have been off the track at Willow as well. If yours is in the shop too long and you get the itch come next door and you can take mine for...

    Need help with a '94 soft top

    Re: Need help with a \'94 soft top Don, I had a similar problem with mine. I removed the swing arm (probably a real name for it) put it on 2X4s with weight in the middle. I will bend it the other way and if you let it set for a while it will stay that way. To speed up the process I put a heat...

    Top Speed in Viper?

    Jon B, Can't believe you are dogging my GenI after all those upgrades I have bought from you. Top speed for me is 165 but then my sunglasses start blowing off. Car feels great at speed though. Only did this once, I try to limit my speed events to that track. Ken

    Anybody going to Fontana this weekend?

    Mike, Wish I could join you to check out the improvement the new exhaust and flywheel have made but I need a new PS pump. Although, I guess I would only be going in a straight line. Ken

    Just missed the 1:30s at Willow Springs

    Socal, "the only one to hang was a new M5"??? What about that old slow GenI that was less than two seconds behind you? Not to mention that I had the extra weight hauling Mark around with me. Ken

    let my wife drive my car and...

    ...I got a call from her yelling, "I have got to get me one of these." This is the first time she has driven it since the headers and flywheel went in. She had a Ferrari driver blow her a kiss, a CHP officer pulled up to her at a light and yelled he wanted to race but she declined. Then on the...

    V-Mania windows

    Andrew, I have a 94 but mine fit fine. Give Biff at call at V-mania he has always be very helpful to me. I got his hardtop as well and the windows fit great with it. Good luck, Ken

    California Smog

    Backdoc7, I brought my 94 from Dallas last year. Passed with flying colors and that was without mufflers, cats only. Ken

    We need to get a San Diego get together going!

    All, I am definately up for a Dynoday or any other event. Got the headers and flywheel on so I would like to see a new Dyno chart. In Dallas we had a regularly scheduled once a month get together. Hung out at a diner that had parking and decent food. It was a blast just to get together to swap...

    leaving the track at 100 MPH.....

    Man, you have to love the support on this board. Just got the car home with the new mods. Definately feels faster with the header, exhaust and flywheel (thanks John B. for the parts and Mike Carrasco for the install). Looking forward to seeing my lap times drop next weekend. And yes, Mark, I...

    leaving the track at 100 MPH.....

    Greg, Mostly brused ego but I did get a nice size chip of paint removed on the passenger side rear qtr. Another guy totaled his on the next run so my chip didn't seem too bad. I had forgotten about this weekend. I have to do Pop-warner football around noon but I will check times and see if I...

    leaving the track at 100 MPH.....

    The link below shows what happens when you leave turn 9 at Willows Springs at a high rate of speed. Well at least I got to join a new club. One of the other racers said he had a great tool to clean my car.....a shovel. Ken www.hotrodbuick.com/Turn9.html

    Flat spotted tires...solution>>>

    SoCal, I was racing with you last week and I didn't think you ever got going fast enough to flat spot a tire. Mods going in this week. Can't wait to do it again on the 29th. Maybe I can even keep it on the track this time. Ken

    So Cal Viper Dyno Days

    Glenn, I wish I could be there. I will have my headers and exhaust in by then and would love to see how much of a difference it makes. However, I will be running at Willow Springs again that day. If another event comes up keep me in mind. Ken
