    1997 Blue/White GTS from OHIO. Please read, Please contact me.

    Wow - that's terrible. And it's even worse that the likelihood of getting any "justice" here is going to be a long, drawn out and expensive process. damn - it's - as my dad used to say - "the principle of the thing". Aside from getting the title overnighted to you (might not have been a bad...

    Wheel/Tire weight - info to share

    The six spokes would be my street tires, Chuck, and the tires were already on 'em. I know the stock ACR wheel is lighter, and apparently made out of unobtanium, so we'll save those for the Sport Cups / track tires.

    Another NJ Viper Rental wreck ?? Anyone know what happened?

    The style of driving that one employs when behind the wheel of a rental car is completely contrary to what you need to do to drive a Viper. I drive rentals cars like the gas pedal is an on / off switch with the brake. Admit it - we all do it. Think about someone inexperienced doing that with...

    Wheel/Tire weight - info to share

    Bumping for more info: Stock 6 spokes with virgin PS2's: Front: 48 lbs (both within .1 lb) Rear: 60 lbs (again, both within .1 lb) Scale - Intercomp race scale I'd say this is a pretty reasonable wheel / tire combo for those looking to save weight.

    seeking New Tire guidance please

    With the contact patch of 4 tires being the only thing keeping you "stuck" to the road - get the PS2's. Most issues come with folks - even experienced folks - getting a little aggressive in the corners. You should want all the lateral stick you can get your hands on.

    Buying an ACR-X

    It's possible to compete with a Viper in a spec series. Henry and I did it in the Comp Coupe had he won the VRL Championship in 2005 against folks that spent tons more money - i.e professional crew, multiple sets of tires per weekend, personal coaches, coming in a day early to practice, etc...

    Buying an ACR-X

    I think folks are concerned about safety, and that they could have a truly competitive specific race series designed around their car. It's not if it's when - you are going to have a track incident -and the more you drive and the faster you go and the more comfortable you get with speeds, and...

    Buying an ACR-X

    Viper Race HQ / Tom Francis is in NC. Earlier this year - it was part of Evernham Motorsports, but is now a separate entity. This entity sold the comp coupes and is selling the ACRX's. It's a NC sale and NC tax is collected if you are an NC resident. And it's sales tax - NOT vehicle tax -...

    Buying an ACR-X

    The ACR X is a great deal for a track ready car with a series. It is purpose built - and cannot be used on the street. Anyone buying it to stuff it away is silly. Buy it, drive it, race it. participate in a series with other Viper owners in like vehicles - a driver's series that hopefully...

    Buying an ACR-X

    As with the Comp Coupe - I suspect this is only an issue for those folks in NC - the same state as Viper Race HQ..... Lucky us.

    2000 Viper GTS ACR Buying Nightmare (Be Warned)

    The $500 was to hold car pending inspection - car failed inspection - he owes you your money back. There was no transaction here.... his logic is way flawed - he can hold it until he lists the car again? Really? If he decides not to list it - he just keeps the money? (Good deal for him...

    Viper Owner Invitational #11 - BE THERE!

    Suck it up and drive. We drome from NC to Vegas and it was the most fun 3.5 days we'd had in a long time. It's totally nice to get out on the road, stretch the Viper's legs, stop at some fum places along the way and enjoy yourself. We're entirely too connected and scheduled every minute of...

    Viper Driver Dies - Driver's Fault

    You don't just "find yourself in this situation" - there's a conscious decision to drink and drive. Sadly - the ultimate price was paid. Fortunately, no one else had to die because of this bad decision.

    Viper Owner Invitational #11 - BE THERE!

    Yee Haw! Only problem is that I want to DRIVE the ACR out there and back and don't think it'll tow the trailer if Henry wants to race the Comp Coupe in the Viper Race Series. Terrible decisions, huh? Standing by with finger on the "book it" button.... And THANK YOU for listening to Viper...

    2010 ACR convertible

    Until you've been at the track in a fairly "simple" incident that left someone you care about hanging upside down, you likely won't understand the need for a lid at track events. Stuff can go wrong quickly at the 165 MPH speeds the Viper routinely sees. You should want every bit of protection...

    2010 ACR convertible

    The Viper has about as much in common with an F1 car as I do with Angelina Jolie.

    2010 ACR convertible

    The aero is functional at speed at 55 plus. With the different lines of the vert - both top up and top down - there's tons of wind tunnel time that would be required and likely if they got it to work one way - it would be highly unstable and dangerous the other way. A convertible is simply...

    Chrysler Announces 1.9% Financing On Dodge Viper for 60 Months

    You also don't get good scores by not using someone else's money for free for 48 months, or - even for 6 years at 1.9%. that's lower than a mortgage rate even counting the tax deduction..... and I think everyone can do better than 1.9% a year ROI.......

    Chrysler Announces 1.9% Financing On Dodge Viper for 60 Months

    WOW - you simply cannot beat that deal. Glad I got my ACR- but - I would have considered waiting a couple MORE months for this - ha ha - thenI would have gotten to hold on to my money! Get'em while they're hot! Santa ought to deliver big this year!

    Copied an idea(but made it better)

    ok I have to have this for Christmas - orange - fangs logo, with the amazingly cool "hooks" this is way cooler than the current "Marvin Martial and Space K-9" I have today. ha ha. Please keep us posted on pricing and how to order.

    Viper to be canceled and new Viper to come in 2012

    Keep making excellent low end torque in a V10 with some curves back on the body and I'll keep buying. Period. I saw a 1996 GTS parked out in front of some shops the other day. There's simply nothing like it. Love the new ACR, love the comp coupe - but it's just not as sexy as the blue and...
