    Viper Test Drive experience

    Hey Doc, The dealership I got my Viper at would not allow test drives. I practically had to get my credit checked just to be able to sit in it on the show room floor. Anyhow, I traded in my '04 BMW M3 and went home in a brand spanking new Viper. During my 25 minute ride home I felt...

    Corsa Installer in Tampa needed

    Larry Macedo personally installed the Corsa Track exhaust on my Viper last year. He did an outstanding job and at a very reasonable price. It's only 90 minutes from Tampa to Orlando. Have Larry install it for you - you won't regret it.

    Hello to the members I am a new Viper user of 2 days

    Yes, when you turn the fan on (without the AC) it picks up the engine heat. Since you like riding with the windows down - just turn the fan completely off. In my case, the Corsa Track exhaust helped reduce the interior heat significantly (since the crossovers are eliminated). The first...

    Viper as Daily Driver?

    I don't have to drive to work (I work out of my home) but take the Viper out daily. If I'm stressed out or upset with someone at the corporate office I jump in the Viper and go for a nice long ride - then return with a big smile (and on a few occasions to change my underwear). I do, however...

    Who's the BADDEST builder !!!

    Re: Who\'s the BADDEST builder !!! Here in Florida there are three: Doug Levin Motorsports, Heffner, and Macedo Motorsports. Personally I've only dealt with Macedo (as his shop is located in Orlando) and his work was/is outstanding. I've also heard nothing but good things about Doug Levin...

    What would you guys do if this happened to you?

    Doesn't matter if you're a big boy, a karate expert, a golden gloves champion or a mercenary. In Florida you can blow a guy's brains out if you feel that your life is in danger or if you feel threatened. Mike did the right thing. However, I would have pressed charges (had it been me with my...

    Spun Out Last Night

    Thanks for all of the replies - obviously you all know what you're talking about. However, some didn't understand or I wasn't able to explain myself correctly on what took place. This is a two lane highway in which I was in the left lane and the Durango was in the right lane (both going in the...

    Spun Out Last Night

    Last night around 7:30 p.m. I was on my way home on Highway 528 East (returning from the movie theater) with my nine-year-old son. I was doing around 75 mph in the left hand lane and quickly came up on a brand new Dodge Durango that was in the right hand lane. The idiot crossed over into my...
