    Gen III spotted on 101 in Santa Barbara!

    So I took a road trip down to LA from the Bay Area this weekend...on highway 101 / 1 in Santa Barbara on Thursday afternoon, I saw a red Gen III come on the highway. I slowed up my GTS, got a good look, traded thumbs-up and watched him exit again soon after. Saw it from the front, side, and...

    Would You Valet Your Viper??? Y/N???

    I don't think so. I don't loan the car out for joyrides to my friends and family, why would I give it to a total stranger? To save walking one block? It *might* get vandalized anytime I park it anywhere, but I'm not going to invite a random person to get in and drive, park, scrape, or crash....

    Engine Fan Operation

    Maybe I've been lucky so far, but my 2001 GTS does not seem to overheat. I drive a lot of stop and go traffic, hour-long commutes on hot days, and I always run the AC. I didn't had a problem with overheating on the track on a 100 degree day either. I know this isn't maybe helpful info for...

    Anybody of us ?

    One of my coworkers attended the Autozotica rally, so I got some of the story from an eye witness. He was several cars behind but had a clear view of the incident. Seems it was early in the day, a bunch of exotics stopped at a red light. Turned green, the viper driver mashed the gas, lost...

    Anybody of us ?

    Where are the "photoshop-cops" when you need them? Is it real? If so, I hope no one was hurt. Shoes do make a big difference, I have to be pretty careful when wearing my clodhoppers with those close pedals.

    anyone tried SCCA soloII

    Sure $20-$50 is easy to spend for a day of fun, as is $200. I'm not really questioning the cost itself, I'll happily pay that. What bugs me about autocross is how little driving is actually done. So if I spend a day at a roadcourse track, I get 6 hours of watching, listening, learning (agreed...

    anyone tried SCCA soloII

    Here's my analysis, for what it's worth. Autocross: 8 hours standing around picking up cones 4 runs for a total driving time of under two minutes = 0.4% driving fun Drag racing: 4 hours in line waiting to drive 4 runs for a total driving time of 48 seconds = 0.3% driving fun Road course: 8...

    Hot side sills

    I'm just curious how well (or if) you pass smog tests without cats? Or is this just a concern in CA?

    2 people die in Viper in Audi Uphill race

    Kids are not allowed as passengers. Adult passengers are required to sign a waiver of liability which very clearly indicates the risks. I'm not sure how they could remove these hazards from the course...fill in the canyons? A guard rail might help, but might not. Who would pay for it? This...

    Virginia City Hill Climb, Viper Crashes, 2 Dead

    I'm sure they were wearing seatbelts, Dean checks each car before it leaves the start. Probably a misquote by a reporter...weren't wearing harnesses, weren't wearing seatbelts, same thing right? Anyway, it's pretty tragic and I wish well for the families. That said, unless it was a mechanical...

    2 people die in Viper in Audi Uphill race

    Ok, maybe I can help clear it up a bit. I was one of approx. eight vipers and 60-70 total cars competing in the Virginia City Hill Climb (NV) this weekend. The event is 5.2 miles up a very windy mountain road. It is dangerous, but it is also extremely fun. Everyone participating understands...
