    Does anyone tow an enclosed trailer with an Expedition? Need advice, please.

    I have a 2000 Expedition (Eddie Bower) with the tow package and a Haulmark 20' steel trailer. I tow a few different cars ranging in weight from 1700 lbs (Lotus Exige) to 3,500 (Porsche TT). In addition, I carry a compressor, tool box, spare tires, tent, chairs and a bunch of other crap. My...

    Porsches are Frowning/Ferraris are MIA

    Personally I think you are asking for trouble with a plate like that. A 355 showed up at a track day with Vprklr as a plate and I made a point to lap him several times... If you keep the plate, make sure you spell "Porsche" correctly. There's a photo running around on the Porsche sites of a...

    Had my butt handed to me...

    The silver Porsche in the photos is not a GT2. All GT2's have yellow callipers... That's a TT with a body it, may have some mods... A stock GT2 will take a stock or slightly moded Viper but that's why you pay the extra $100K Roy

    Got in Little Race with new Lotus V8 TT (surprised)

    The Esprit is a nice car, and very fast. Go to www.espritfactfile.com and click on videos. Select the Motortrend video and you'll see the 1/4 and top speed test including the Esprit, Viper and others. I've owned several Esprits over the years and have found them to be great cars. Roy

    Porsche TT GT II v. Viper: Need Fuel for my Argument

    I think that's a tough argument to make. If you modify the Viper, the owner of the GT2 can simply adjust the suspension. The GT2 has fully adjustable suspension and is set for street use from the factory. In a recent article, David Murrey (Big time P driver) said he felt he could get 7...

    Viper vs Diablo

    I owned a Diablo VT. I found the car to be a nice piece of art, not a real car. The build quality rivaled my 77 Lotus Esprit, the repair costs were ridiculous, and the dealers sucked. One (in Ohio) tried to sell me a new clutch ($10K) on the car right after I bought it with 1,000 miles on it...

    Just got back from the LA Auto Show where I saw the SRT....

    I currently own an Elise and an Exige (Track use only). I drove the new Elise before they were shipped to LA for the show. They are great cars. They are a blast to drive! Roy

    Viper vs. Lotus

    I couple of years ago, one of the mags did a 1/4 mile run and the Viper was 1st with the Esprit slightly behind. The Esprit has 350hp but he can upgrade it to 450 by purchasing an upgraded ECU from Lotus. It will void his warranty. The problem with that car is the transmission and...

    Viper vs Porshe 911 Turbo in Quarter Mile

    I agree with A-Train, it's a combanation of gearing and traction. I sold my GTS after 2 years and now own a TT. 1st gear in the TT is very short; if you don't have your hand on the shifter, you'll bang the rev limiter. Frankly, I think 1st is too short in the TT. Both are spectacular cars...

    ACR Questions

    Looking at an ACR. Two questions: Can you install the factory fog lights on the car? Is the suspension adjustable for height or just shock stiffness? Thanks Roy

    Viper vs Porshe 911 TT in quarter

    A few comments on the 996TT: 1. The tt weighs in at 1540kgs (3400 pounds) empty. 2. The US car is higher, and softer, than the European car thanks to Porsche Cars NA thinking that Americans need a softer car. Euro suspension is about 1" lower and a bit stiffer. 3. The Euro 996TT was the...

    Has your car been damaged while in for service?

    Palmer Dodge in Atlanta ran my car over a curb and damaged the front spoiler when it was in for service. Unfortunalty I have not been able to find service anywhere near the level of the car itself. Roy

    A dealer told me today that no decision has been made on building the GTS in 02. Is that true? Thanks Roy
