    Trying to acquire Corsa tires by Tuesday in the Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa area

    I can receive them from Tire Rack in about a week but have a trip planned for Wednesday. Anyone have any, or know of somewhere that might? These are not tires that shops would keep in stock normally. Please PM or email to [email protected]. Thank you. Bruce

    Another incredible Bruce video

    Thanks. Guys at the track are always great. I didn't get a chance to meet this one, and rarely do this event. Don't even know if it was a GT3 or GT3 RS...suspect the latter or good mods from past experience. GT3's (and all 911's) are always great on corner exit and usually under braking...

    TA Trackday

    Hey Mark, You've been silent for too long! It would be great to hear about your TA track experience over the summer, modifications that you've made or are considering, whether you got your brake pedal up for better heel and toe (still an issue for me), ect. I saw your comment about the TA...

    Another incredible Bruce video

    Yes, I absolutely do...for some users. I debated ordering them shaved but at the time of ordering the tires showed no adverse signs of heat damage. By the time they finally did it was two weeks prior to this event and I already had the replacements ready to go. Would I have got more miles or...

    Another incredible Bruce video

    Thanks! This video was part of a detailed TA Track Attack thread posted elsewhere. I enjoyed following this GT3 for a few laps, and data-logging showed how I had to get off the throttle over 300 feet earlier than normal at the end of the straight, and that was when using just 3rd gear through...

    Information from Chrysler on 2015 Viper

    Or... maybe buyers will start to discover what a great car the Gen V is and sales will finally start to reflect that fact! The C&D 2014 Lightning Lap Comparison will draw the attention of those looking for serious performance. http://i.imgur.com/UUfsCV8.jpg

    Gen V 's need a oil catch can

    Tracked mine 10 times and no leaks, and minimal oil consumption. I'd say your particular car has a problem, or maybe a bunch did. Mine is a April '14 build.

    Information from Chrysler on 2015 Viper

    I was at the track Monday and Wednesday this week and I get numerous requests every day. It was flattering at first but getting tiring now, especially when you have to say no can do. Got passed exactly once in two days, and that was by an ACR driven by Fred Roberts who races a Comp Coupe...

    mods to cool the gen 5 interior

    First thing to know is to disregard anything MT has reported on the Gen V. Trust yourself as far as any possible heat issue in your car. I track mine aggressively, that gets everything about as hot as you're apt to, and there's no issue at all when I turn the A/C on. The side sill carpet does...

    CAAP: When does it come back online to begin producing 2015s?

    Why do you think an SRT dealer can't afford to have 1 Viper on display (and try to sell it), and why do you think it's the manufacturers job to make a different arrangement? I would think if an SRT dealer doesn't want to order and pay for one like any other car they buy then that's a red flag...

    CAAP: When does it come back online to begin producing 2015s?

    Some dealers up here are advertising in-coming 2015's. I'm sure some dealers don't have any Gen V's and want them, while others have lots. SRT can't fix the problems that some dealers have with selling these cars, which in some cases is just poor sales and business practices from the stories...

    washing a TA

    I take great care not to scatch the paint, hosing it down thoroughly on the outside, and lightly under the hood (not directly on engine/exhaust). No problems with water, including driving it in heavy rain on the highway and in lighter rain at speed on the track.

    How did you guys make out...tell us all about it!

    I saw one at Virginia International Raceway with matt black stripes, but that was not available from the factory. Others here have had them added with both paint and vinyl....same with any aero bits you want.

    audio level on TA models

    There's also a huge difference in SPL between some recordings I've put on memory stick. Some you can't seem to turn up loud enough, others you have to turn down. And on some the bass feels weak, and others it's very strong. Audiophile grade recordings sound quite good with the engine off, but...

    TA Details - input please

    The number is very small under the SRT on the badge, my guess is you missed it...if not ask the dealer to explain. No orange stitching on steering wheel, clutch engagement is quite high even though pedal travel is long, all have black plastic rear brake inlets...and car is awesome! TA 23/33.

    I was thinking about purchasing a Viper again

    You need to figure out what "you" want because you seem to be all over the map and headed deep into purchase paralysis. I'm guessing you don't want a loaded Viper at all and fretting over prices that don't apply to your needs. Since cost/value/resale/Vette pricing is very important you might...

    May not have to worry about 2015 Z06

    The base car's pricing looks good to attract the mass market, Corvette's target audience. When well-optioned for serious performance and to compete with higher-end cars it's double the cost of a C7, yet shares the same paint quality. Those wanting an exotic supercar can choose the Gen V with...

    Viper TA Track Attack #9, New track 8-19-14...and maybe the most fun yet!

    There's been plenty of threads devoted to everyone's opinions for changes they need to make to sell more cars in the future. I'll just continue to enjoy the car to the fullest, demonstrate how well SRT executed their vision for today's Viper, and maybe gather a little more support for a type of...

    Viper TA Track Attack #9, New track 8-19-14...and maybe the most fun yet!

    Thanks. I don't think I could stand it if the car were any cooler! It was a mob scene at the gas station the other day. I lifted the hood three times for photos as people kept pulling in and coming over. I guess I do tend to get a little annoyed about the effect that marketing has on some...

    May not have to worry about 2015 Z06

    An actual real life Z06 will finally be a good thing for us. It will be impossible to live up to the hype GM created, which even here reached epic proportions. The rags will still gush over it for at least a year, retest every other car supercar against it to support its anointment as the best...
