    Take Back The Nurburgring Title from the Porsche 918

    Our beloved Viper has set 13 track records in the US. Let’s go back to Nurburgring and re-take the ultimate international crown, as we sail into the sunset. In September, 2011, the Viper ACR became the Nurburg "Ring King" when Dominik Farnbacher set the production car record at...

    Ben Keating to run Viper GT3-R program in USCR next year

    Ben's a great driver and deserves a tip of the hat from the Viper community. We're all cheering him on.

    Track Record at New Jersey Motorsports Park

    Ooopss...yes, I did mean 2010. Thanks for the catch, Bruce. BTW...we also hold the track record at Miller Motorsports Park (1:59.9) right outside of Salt Lake City. My guess is that Kuno will try for it again next month at VIR when the VRL and ACR-X series races there. How great is it that...

    Track Record at New Jersey Motorsports Park

    For those who may not have been there, Kuno Wittmer set a new track record at New Jersey Motorsports Park for a production street car at 1.28.0. That beats the existing track record by about 12 seconds. He did it in a stock 2011 ACR. The ACR now holds track records at a number of tracks...

    VOI 11 Hotel Booking is OPEN!

    Call me stupid, but when you call the phone number listed for The Grand America Hotel, it connects you to the Little America Hotel. Does it matter? I assume that the pictures that are posted are for the Grand America?

    Jon B on a Monday

    Guys....Jon B is a great guy. If you're nice to him, he'll give you a great price, good service, and maybe even a backrub. Jon has supported my racing endeavours, with little in it for him. KIn my opinion, he is the most standup guy in our community.:drive:

    Does dodge still make the Comp coupe?

    Comp Coupes are definitely still being made in both World Challenge and regular spec. If you'd like one, call Tom Franis at Evernham. I'm sure they'd love to sell you one.:drive:

    More Bad Press

    Guys...why does it continue to surprise you when you read the stupid things that some writers say. In one of the articles (either R & T or C & D) one of the guys spun, going through the VERY MINOR kink on the front straight of Virginia International Raceway. Talk about being unqualified to...

    Interested in a Comp Coupe Registry?

    I think a CC registry is a great idea. It shouldn't be too difficult as there are only about 110 cars out there and a lot of us know who has multiple cars. If someone wants to take charge, I'll bring 50 numbers or so.

    Please help - strange steering feel

    My car has that strange sensation in the steering wheel when the car is hot and you turn the wheel tight while moving slowly. It's done it from day one. I think it's because the fan and power steering pump are now run off the same belt.

    Jon B Post

    Seriously, Jon is the biggest friend the Viper community has. Not only is he extremely fair with prices to help all of us out, but he supports the advancement of Viper related motorsports. He doesn't have to do it but does it anyway. Jon B. gets my big thumbs up!!

    Well I really went to the dark side I traded my SRT for a Ford GT!

    I bought one. Red with White Stripes and all the goodies. It is a nice car to have with my Vipers. It'll be interesting to see what is faster, a Comp Coupe or the GT.

    bounced off rev-limter (question)

    Nobody, Under racing conditions a shift from fifth to second instead of fourth or first instead of third (from fourth) happens all the time and it generally results in a blown engine, maybe not that momemt, but a few operating hours down the road. By the way, the guys who are racing and make...

    Need for double-clutching

    I'm one of the "old school" guys who double clutches when I'm downshifting. While it is not necessary in Vipers, or any modern cars that have synchronizers, if you rev match well (by double clutching), it lowers the wear on the synchros. The further apart the speed between the two shafts that...

    Mopar PCM?

    I had one and I had to take it off my GTS to make it idle and to get the throttle to return. I did have headers, roller rockers (1.7) and throttle bodies. I don't think the controllers work at all.

    Comp Coupes resale value?

    You are not going to make money on a CC. If you're looking at it with that in mind, you're going down the wrong path.

    Comp Coupes resale value?

    Andrew, the reason that people are posting is because it's not an easy question. It depends on many variables. 1) how many hours does the car have on it 2) How many hours does the engine have on it 3) Who took care of the car, how much money was put into taking care of the car, etc. Race cars...

    Changing the SRT body style for the better

    That's what makes the world go round. For me, the Vanquish is far better looking than the SRT Coupe. I did like the GTS and the RT-10 better than anything else in their day. I also like the comp coupe (I own two of them) better than the Vanquish, but there is something that is not right with...

    Changing the SRT body style for the better

    The SRT is too "refined" looking. When it came out in 2003, I looked like you would have expected a new Corvette to look (the proof is: the new Corvette then did take some stying cues from the SRT). The SRT is almost feminine in appeal. Ever notice how women like the SRT much more than previous...

    I am really starting to HATE my viper

    Before you explode, why don't you call DC directly and explain the problems to them. Give them a chance to have someone like Tom Sessions look at the car. Tom is the service director of a dealership in N.C. and is the hotshot troubleshooter that DC uses to take care of problems. He is also the...

    road and track? what happened!!

    I have always found "Road & Track" to be an arrogant "European Elitist" publication. I have written them no less than 10 letters criticizing their treatment of Vipers in both road tests and editorial opinions. They have NEVER printed one. If you criticize them whatsoever, they will ignore...

    Mopar Performance Engine Controller

    I always got idle hang with mine on a 96GTS and never thought that it added much (if any) power.
