    Don,t forget to catch the snake on motorweek tomorrow

    I'm in the Dominican Republic and it wasn't broadcast on any of the dozens of channels available here. I read the article, thanks Bob. We're there any interesting additional comments in the video?

    New TA

    Congratulations! Lots of ACR guys coming over. Is there any temptation to have a driver's stripe on this one also? Tough job picking a TA color. I like to way the carbon stands out on the orange and white...but I also like the way it's so subtle an accent on the black:dunno: And just to...

    VIDEO: SRT VIPER vs. C6 Z06 Roll Race...

    A stock Z06 must be the rarest of all Vettes!

    Why won't SRT tell us the status of the vert?

    That's the wrong question to ask because for the most part you're talking about two different buyers that use them completely differently. While I like the look and sound of some Ferraris I would have no interest in purchasing one for the weekend and track day driving I will do with my TA...

    Car and Driver Lightning Lap Issue

    Here's some results of 169 cars from another track to look over while we're waiting. The new 991 GT3 sling-shot to the front of the pack. Maybe Car and Driver had difficulty getting one for the Lightning Lap for a couple of months and decided to delay the whole test until then...otherwise...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    Apologies for the OT. I thought I heard the Ring map was on the center console somewhere.

    You can't always get what you wanted, but sometimes you just might get all you need :)

    Why won't SRT tell us the status of the vert?

    Dealers ordered too many cars with too many options. SRT flubbed the launch with poorly prepped cars that got tested and reviewed poorly, and that killed demand. That's how inventory swelled, public responded with concern, and it's going to take time and serious discounting to get the back log...

    Why won't SRT tell us the status of the vert?

    Everyone knows at least some of the reasons why the Gen V didn't sell well initially, and most aren't related to price at all. The 2013 MY cars that didn't sell well for all those reasons are now last year's models and naturally would require a price reduction incentive to move now. 2014 TA's...

    Why won't SRT tell us the status of the vert?

    It just never ceases to amaze me how so many of the previous Gen Viper guys are so out of touch with reality when it comes to what the Gen V offers new car buyers. It so often comes across like a bunch of guys who must just not be able to afford the car, or whatever, and want to feel better...

    Thank You Bill Pemberton

    Looks great...congrats!

    TA Harness

    Hi Mark, I think the perceived complexity of the 6 point harness install might be a deterent for those considering tracking very infrequently, rather than actually spending the money. A few photos or short video that showed the trickier parts of the install, particularly removing interior and...

    TA Harness

    Perhaps a group buy could be suggested if there was sufficient interest. Black belts with orange stitching might be nice for any colored TA. I'd definitely take a set.

    2014 track experience full schedule up

    Sorry for the confusion, Harold...dmann was referring to other track days that I had mentioned in another thread. I won't be going to the SRT days, and it's not actually included for Canadian buyers :( See the link for the Chin event I'm doing. Bruce

    2014 track experience full schedule up

    That's great! Mark June 26 and/or 27 on your calender. You should check out Chin's details at www.chinmotorsports.com so you're ready to book once registration opens. If you don't have recognized experience you may need to be assigned an instructor, and they can book up quickly. It would be...

    gt package

    Stiffer springs, additional sound deadening, black rear fascia, may not be all the same leather surfaces and interior finishes?

    2014 track experience full schedule up

    I'll be booking VIR 6/26-27 once registration opens, possibly Road Atlanta 6/21-22, and hopefully two dates at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (Mosport) before that from several that are available. I'm reluctant to book much until I actually get the car, which should be by end of April. I have...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    FFL, being the fastest at a track day actually gets boring. I hope I'm not too bored in my TA. I hope others will buy cars with DCTs or whatever it takes so I have someone to dice it up with because that's when it's truly fun. I'll be exceedingly happy if someone is faster as that will...

    Stryker Red / other options

    Bob, you've been spending a lot of time in the Gen V forum, and your inclusion of color on GTS and the SRT GT package indicates you are maybe more focused on the GenV in general, rather than for it's ultimate performance potential...or you're down playing your desire for ultimate performance...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    I disagree. The future is here, many of the fastest cars have DCT's, and yet the top performers are modern cars with manuals. The romance with the manual will endure as long as the romance with the automobile itself, and likely become even more highly sought after in high performance cars by...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    There's certainly a tremendous amount of thought that goes into it when driven aggressively on track, or your favorite challenging twisting road. Experience and skill allows one to perform much of it subconsciously, but it is completely engaging, and often at high risk if not done well. The...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    Not sure how your question answers mine, but I'll have a go at it. I would think that some could be as engaging for the driver, although perhaps in different ways. My recent experience owning a paddle shift GT fell short for engagement compared to any one of the many manuals I've owned. A...

    Boy. Some some people are so fickle.

    Thanks for the update, Bob...I was actually hoping to hear how your impressions might have changed. These cars will likely remain the best kept secret for a very long time, despite owner's very positive reviews, and their sales numbers too low to appear on any JD Power Customer Satisfaction...

    I think it likely that out of the tiny percentage of Gen 5 owners that go on a road course (vs Auto-X and strip), that many of those may be rather experienced, will either drive a TA, Track Pack with alignment, ACR (?), and those driver's would benefit from more power on a high-speed track. The...

    Ralph in Automobile magazine

    I believe they usually say "the most torque of any naturally aspirated engine", which at 600 lbft rather convincingly exceeds the Aventador's 507 lbft. And what's up with that car's dinky 255f and 335r tires? That's just whack:crazy2:
