    VIR or Sebring best track for Novice?

    If your choice is a Viper Days event vs a non-Viper Days event - ALWAYS choose the Viper Days event (regardless of the track) in order to bring you up the learning curve MUCH faster than you can at any other venue. Your instructor will be a FAST Viper driver. They will know how to get the most...

    VIR or Sebring best track for Novice?

    VIR. Sebring is great -and historic - so it has that going for it - but it's FLAT and ROUGH. It also has lots of immovable objects as walls and barriers. There is a lot of it that is very high speed - unlike Putnam Park. VIR is GORGEOUS. Scenic. LOTS of elevation changes, few walls, decent...

    New Viper Owner - Did I make a big Mistake???

    There is a fuel cutoff that will save your engine. It happens - be glad it's there. The SRT has such a flat torque curve - even moreso than the Gen II, that it's easy to keep going on the gas because you feel hte car still pulling - unlike how the Gen II seemed easier to feel the torque...

    can not get in my 03

    There's a manual lock cylinder for the drivers door below the mirror on the underside of the indented area. PLace key in there, push in on the door to relieve some pressure on the lock, and turn key - you'll be in in a jiffy. The car is probably in sleep mode after being stored - check you...

    Are There Any NY/CT Members Feeling Distress Out There???

    Re: Are There Any NY/CT Members Feeling Distress Out There? Viper James has it right - complaints to VCA National Officers from non-VCA members? If it were my - I'd say "Thank you for your input." and hang up the phone. And that is the extent of the time I would spend on it. The region has a...

    Isaac Device?

    It's an interesting debate - I see that the sled testing that was done on the Isaac site was done with a very "open" seat. There is a possibility that there may be better options just based on the rest of your safety equipment. For example, I know that there have been folks that have installed...

    Isaac Device?

    gbaker, is that you? For our use, a HANS is the only way. However, I will say that side impacts concern me - but THAT is what the racing seat with the wings is for, as well as the right side net that you are seeing in all the race cars these days. I believe that the HANS is most effectie when...

    Trade Autoform Hood for stock...

    Somehow I would guess that a stock replacement hood is FAR MORE EXPENSIVE than an Autoform one.....

    97 Blue and White Stripes - Advice

    Don't you have to drill the tail for the wing? Unless your fill, repair and repaint is PERFECT - sell it as is. And let us know what you are / will be asking!

    VOI9 prices - holy #@!$ !!! am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?

    Re: VOI9 prices - holy #@!$ !!! am I the only one who thinks this is crazy DO NOT go to VOI for track time. Do you really think you'll get sustained triple digit speeds when an instructor hops into your car for 3 or 4 laps, with you and your borrowed helmet in a car that hasn't been tech...

    McCann wins Sebring AND Woodhouse finishes THIRD!!!

    hmmm.... that is VERY tempting.... H gets back from China on that Thursday - not sure he'd be too keen on leaving home the next day.....

    McCann wins Sebring AND Woodhouse finishes THIRD!!!

    Back on track. Oh boy - what a finish. Huge congratulations to Mike McCann. His quiet and relentless pursuit of winning is a pleasure to watch. Both Mike and his brother, Jim, helped Henry and I in many ways when we were new to the Viper Racing League. And, also, congrats to crew chief Dan...

    New brake fluid GS610-the ultimate?

    It's hard for me to take any brake fluid seriously that won't publish a wet boiling point.

    Can Tommy Archer win this weekend?

    The restrictor has been reduced to 20% (from 45%) and they were allowed to add headers.....

    Paddle Shift

    Honestly - ABS adds a measure of "oh %$#*" security. You don't bang off the ABS at every turn, but it's there when you go in a little hot or you have a panic situation - but NONE of you use the ABS for normal everyday driving. It's also a great way to get the dynamic proportioning that you...

    Paddle Shift

    If Herb ever leaves, we're screwed. If they'd let Herb make more decisions - we'd be golden. 2003 headlights - definitely a high tech advantage. They rock. Want to know why there are there? Herb said "this car is so fast - you shouldn't be able to outdrive your headlights." You can't. The...

    1550 miles in 2 days in new Coupe

    Great comparison, Brian. Not particularly surprising, either. Most of the magazines, while always giving the Z06 the "bang for the buck" award, and being in love with all the electronic nannies that help them drive faster, also concede that driving the Corvette at the edge is a hairraising...

    What to do, what to do...

    Well, here's where is gets interesting..... Last time I checked a plane ticket (advance purchase) from RDU to Kansas City was all of about $138. I am sure that you could find a place to have work done (someone with an awesome set of tools?) and fly in your tech to work on seeral cars at once...

    Viper Days

    In addition, their new name is "The Performance Driving School". While they do utilize timing, for the school portion of the event, it's sole purpose if to grid the cars by time to eliminate as much passing as possible making this a safer experience as the field should "spread out" during the...

    what is she really worth?

    I don't think I've seen a 97 B/W go for less than $53K. And even then that was snatched up quickly. IMO - that is the most highly sought after car after the GT2. Just gorgeous! it's an INCREDIBLE color combo - I'd love to have both a 1997 GTS and 1997 RT in that color - SWEET!
