Vipers looking for revenge at The Ring Today!!!

[v10enomous]

7:12.13 or perhaps July 12th 2013

I wonder what might happen on that date...

 

[AFL in NJ]

Also on a second note, we are putting together a special 7:12 Nurburgring Edition cars that will be extremely unique and special. I am equally excited about this. We will have 3 cars in each color available. Same unique Paint combo. Signatures from the entire team. Numbered badging. 7:12 N'Ring graphics. Photo book telling the story of the whole experience. etc. etc. These cars will be special. So then, you too can go to the N'Ring and set a record!!! It will be a special part of Viper Hisssssstory.

Thank you to everyone in the VCA for your kind notes and incredible support. Bernie and I are honored to be involved in this whole deal. All the people of Tomball Dodge and ViperExchange.com are just excited to have brought to record home.

Ben Keating

Congrats Ben and to the entire team who made this happen!! I am also especially glad to hear about the special edition ACRs!!

Regards,
Aaron

Are they waiting for Ralph to get back to make the big announcement and video release?
When is he expected back?

 

[MrBTG]

I've not googled for a video so much since Pam and Tommy came back from their honeymoon... where is it? P.S. Naughty naughty! Filming in T13 is soooo verboten!

If my source is good ( I think she is ) 6:59.18 was set...

If my source is good ( I think she is ) 6.99.18 was set...

Say what????? This is really getting out of hand, way too many numbers being thrown around. I am growing weary and feeling incredulous about the whole situation

I'm gonna unsubscribe from this thread before I have a seizure!

Secret News: The Gen V mule ran a 5:31 on all seasons, in the rain, driving backwards with 4 sparkplug wires pulled off.

That wouldn't surprise me for the X. Those Michelin slicks are amazing.

 

[MarcRoth]

Wait and see.She hasnt failed me yet on scoups....

 

[MarcRoth]

Lets say spring rates and down force here. I am sure Herb will chime in soon...

 

[PDCjonny]

That's great and all but outside of Viperland not too many people care what a race car can do there.
The production car record is the news.

Tell that to the sneaky Corvette engs that ran the ZR1... Stock...hhmmmm ok

Sneaky is right! A current Viper engineer (who will remain nameless) who previously worked for Generous Motors in the Corvette program, said that the Corvettes got some "added" attention before they were sent to the automobile magazines for testing. He also said if you took a stock Corvette off the showroom floor.... the only way you could achieve the magazines' test times was to toss the Corvette off a skyscraper. LOL

 

[MarcRoth]

Talk to Mr.Mallett about the Corvette engs, That was worth the night of drinks....

Please do elaborate. ::sits on floor Indian-style for story time::

 

[MarcRoth]

That is a good one but my fat ass prob could not get back up...

 

[Magnus_]

Is there an ETA for the Video?

Perhaps I can just check back then instead of every hour waiting for this thing....

hah hah, that's a good one! I could use that! 8^)

Check out Fastest Laps dot com, and on their home page, you can read about "Ferraris' questionable practices", regarding press cars, and track testing. It's not just ONE manufacturer that puts out ringers. It's almost standard practice!

Please take the tire banter off this thread.

Too many variables. A good example is that Vipers come with a different tire construction and compound than the regular tire rack issue PS2. Different side wall markings signify specialized Viper fittment. Any testing with a non-Viper spec tire will not transfer.

It may have been the intent of Lexus to test and tune on the ring, and that would mean using spec tires as opposed to ringer tires.

No matter the details, Viper did the entire ViperNation proud last week.

Excellent idea, Paris is gone as well!

I doubt they would have taken out in public without tons of camo on it

Got a nice(short) reply back from Dominik Farnbacher today regarding his setting the Ring record in the Viper ACR last week. Thought you all would get a kick out of it:

" Dominik Farnbacher

Thank you so much . The Car is just incredible and powerful."

You can hook up with Dominik on Facebook (and his 19 year old brother Mario as well). What amazes me (and makes me quite envious) is this 26 year old kids life. I have been in Information Technology for 30+ years now and, even though I make a handsome living from it, find myself bored to tears at times. Can you fathom doing what he does (at that age) for a living?! I have to turn off his Facebook news feed because my page is overflowing with his daily race results (seems to be driving Ferrari's as of late). Man, what a life this kid is living!!!

When the big reveal happens and there are no longer "secrets" I have an interesting story to tell regarding Dominik as well.

At the end of last week, the new run and record was listed on the Wikipedia Nurburgring results page (beating the LFA). Checking in yesterday it was removed ???? Not there today.....
Maybe needs official confirmation ?
