    The only burning plastic smell I find is when I smoke a 'Vette.

    Viper seems a little slow, Was my Z06 Faster???

    The biggest reason the ZO6 "feels" faster in 1st and 2nd is the 3.4x stock gear ratio compared to the Viper's 3.07. Put 3.55's in the Viper and the seat of the pants feel will change substantially. Regardless, 2nd gear in the Viper is a beast, even with 3.07's. Now with my 3.55's I can break...

    Parking Viper on Street: Advice???

    If you are really parking it on the street, esp. in the City, you'll be parallel parking, in which case you don't really have to worry about door dings, unless someone double parks and a passenger gets out. I have a bit of a thing about parking - I had to adjust my parking spot at work when I...

    Got SMOKED by a Gixxer

    I was coming home from work Saturday night, and as I sat at a light, I saw a motorcycle coming up fast behind. He pulled into the empty lane next to me, and out of the corner of my eye I saw it was a Blue/White Suzuki GSXR. Well, even if it was a 10 year old GSXR, I knew I'd be in trouble. In...

    Stock Brakes are for the....! Roe Racing does it again!

    Kenneth, I have no doubt that you don't dispense the mail - that would actually require a modicum of literacy. Instead, I believe that Big Whoadie put you in a nice office, with a nice chair and a really fast internet hookup. Perhaps you have to make a few phone calls, maybe go on a few sales...

    Stock Brakes are for the....! Roe Racing does it again!

    Wow Lil' Whoadie, that takes real 'nad to crack back on Brett for being realistic about expeditures when you are getting your checks signed by Lil' Whoadie Sr. It's o.k. though, seeing as you are making the epic sacrifice of eating Taco Bell and using scrub tires.... Classic Lil' Whoadie...

    A day at the races (or the nightmare at Famoso)

    I thought Venom was actually running half shafts that are advertised as "unbreakable." What's the scoop?

    Are we the Mumford and Abelberg of the straight line???

    Wow, that was the most incoherant post by Lil' Whoadie yet! "I am not one to bag on someones spelling, my is the worst by far." That HAS TO BE A JOKE! You very funny Lil' Whoadie! You got me laughing pretty good with your little tongue-in-cheek post. Here I thought the only...

    Are we the Mumford and Abelberg of the straight line???

    Mike, Dude, you have NO CHOICE but to bring the Viper on the 24th. Think about it - why did you invest in the half-shafts, slicks, skinnies, (line-lock???????), etc. if you aren't going to use it thrash pretenders to the throne like Ron????? I would even consider hauling the Chevelle up to...

    How much did you pay in relation to MSRP?

    Wow, I CAN'T STAND this Mako guy. He irritated me over on the Vette forum, and now he has drifted over to MY HOME!!!! "Produce and we can do business" Ha! I've got an idea - produce your piss ant ZO6 on PCH or Moulton sometime and WE can do business!! Better yet, produce your pompous...

    Ok boys who has THE quickest Viper on this Board? Just curious

    Tom, When I read 9 sec.'s post I thought he was implying that maybe he or others didn't spend as much as one might think on their mods - not that you are withholding info on your car. Just my interpretation. Anyway, he can respond or not to that point. BTW - those are some nice motor only...

    How pathetic. The 2003 is simply pathetic!

    Even if your dire predictions came true, I'm sure that, after time, another car would emerge to satisfy the current Viper niche. Just look back at other famous cars to see what became of their line due to accountants taking control away from the car guys - The Chevelle went from LS6 454 with a...

    Dyno Question

    The dyno will not care what your rear end is. In fact, it will give a read out of your rpm/mph. I dyno'ed mine with 3.55 gears and it was not a problem.

    Best Viper car cover?

    Big Sky Car Covers (ad in the back of Road and Track, or find online). Best price I found, no sales tax, uses the same materials as other covers with tailored fit, including mirror pockets and the owner is very knowledgeable.

    How much vandalism can be expected?

    Speaking of valets.... A $150,000 Ferrari was wrecked recently at the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point. A valet smashed it into a tree while taking it to the parking area - turned out he had another valet buddy of his in the car with him when he wrecked the car. Just hope they comped the owner's stay!

    Cat removal???????

    The sound of a cat-less car is quite a bit louder (especially during WOT - something John Q. is sure to notice). The "pop" on decel is not something that bothers me, but I am also coming from driving a catless, and at times muffler-less, muscle car on a daily basis. As far as harming the...
