    1st track day in the books, although it was a 2 hoodie day, brrr.

    Hey, guys, my posting has dropped a bit but wanted to share my fun Sunday. Finally got the car to her 1st track day. Summit Point, WV, Main Circuit - a balmy 42 degree day after 24 hours of rain, track was green & the Corsa's were challenged, but a great day. Did the SCCA PDX, I haven't done...

    And another Gen5 is off the market, a happy New Year to me.

    Thanks to FinalEd/John on the referral from his purchase, I bought the black/silver loaded GTS/Track Pack car today, a deal I still can't believe I got. Great dealer, friendly and responsive and seriously great deals. I should have it in about 2 weeks, pics and mods to follow. Now, to get...

    My gen4 at a near give away price, in classifieds.

    Hey guys, been hard to move forward but time to look at some gen5's. Posted my 2008 in the classifieds. Priced aggressively and I'm even flexible with OBO. Just a heads up if you know anyone shopping. Thanks...

    Buy a '14 or waiting for a '15 ... hmm

    So ... my mental treading water exercise at the moment is, shop a '14 at a discount or do a '15. As we're heading into fall in the mid-atlantic. I've talked to a few dealers on cars so far regarding '14s. Examples are, GTSs with the $15k reset on MSRP plus another $13-14K discount, this is...

    Car shipping deals?

    Wondering if there are any efforts underway with any carriers for 2-way shipping deals for the event? Only way I could afford the time would be to ship, but then, not sure I can afford the $ of that option, lol. Thanks. It does look like a bucket list event.

    Why won't SRT tell us the status of the vert?

    With VOI12 info sharing the submitted design shots with us, and "hearing that it was approved". Why won't Ralph give any info on the vert, at least in timing? What's the deal on why it needs to still, 2 yrs later, be a secret? If it's imminent, then thanks, those who want one can be puttin...

    SRT and the new gen5 Viper are Italian, not American.

    So, the Crysler super bowl commercial, which I loved and said "hell yea" to when it aired started a controversy with some (now potentially former) friends. lol I was like, "oh yea, great commercial", they were like, how dumb .. now Fiat owns 100% of Crysler, it's an Italian company pretending...

    Daddy, wow, what kinda car is that? Son, that's the new Vette. -facepalm.

    Caught that yesterday when sitting in front of NAPA. I just smiled, figured the boy can find out later his Dad may be a doofus without me pointing it out and embarrassing him.

    Custom rollbar shop in our area?

    Hey guys, not a Viper question, but I'm posting on a few forums I belong to for recommendations. I'm deciding on a couple of other cars, one being a convertible and looking to talk to a good shop about a simple custom 4 pt rollbar, for some added safety since the car will be at 800hp and for...

    Center console power plug, no worky, need helpy.

    OK, in the past 2 weeks I've had my car literally completely apart, put in the rollbar with the help of Mr. Sessions, etc. I kinda forgot about my center console power outlet not working while I had it in a million pieces. Too excited about everything else I guess, even though I managed to...

    Wrenching with a viper tech legend ... awesome

    OK, so I know the guys in the Carolina's and many others out there get this treat on a regular basis, but it was pretty cool for me. I picked up an autoform rollbar and was to meet up with Tom Sessions somewhere to get it off his rig. After very short call he was quick to offer to swing out of...

    Seat lowering install help

    I did one in my gen3 but the gen4 has a couple extra electronics. I'm done easy peasy except the harness on the stock rails, does that get pulled off, it's very resistant to coming off, and get put on the replacement? I know the unit on the floor gets remounted, but not sure about the harness ?

    Help me decide, share pics if you got em. Red stripes or red driver stripe ????

    So I had an all black gen2, gen3, and now gen4. As I patiently wait for a gen5 I want, which isn't going to happen this year, I'm getting bored and looking to do something. My car is all black & a vert, 6 spokes. I'm getting an autoform rollbar in the next 2 wks, it's viper red powder coated...

    My two nit picks on the Gen5

    So I'm stoked on the Gen5, but since nothing is perfect, here are my 2 'issues' 1st one is really lame, but the stripes on the SRT, yuck IMO. As much as the cost and they don't run the length of the car like they do on the GTS, I'd love to hear the logic of that - other than some "badging"...

    Any good shots of the car colors?

    So I've seen the blue, yellow & new red in person. But looking at the colors is tough, I got the new Viper mag & it has a page with the colors on little car models & 3 look black. I'm really interested in what the Charcoal Pearl looks like. And is one of those "black" looking cars really a...

    VOI12 Sunday - vid of me and my best buddy, Ralph @ the autocross

    Sunday I went to the autocross 1st to warm up for the ROVAL and Ralph was there beating on a challenger and an ACR. We were running back to back. As I sat there behind him in line I thought, hmm, I wonder if a Corvette owner has ever sat in his car waiting to make a run behind the CEO of Chevy...

    Short vid of cruise on Friday

    Well I didn't do a great job on the vid for the cruise, somehow I took only a few shots here & there, but figured I'd share, you might see your car in there. You can't miss David B's green & black ACR and of course a hundred other beauties out there. Dave. Shot in 1080, so adjust as your...

    VOI Virgin morning after ...

    My 1st VOI, after 3 Vipers since 1999 I can't believe this was my first ... and they popped my cherry good. I could write pages on the highlights and events and how crazy it was to see hundreds of Vipers in one place and talking with owners from all over the world. SRT letting us do things to...

    My 1st vids from VOI12, auto X and Road Course.

    ROVAL : Road course / oval, in the rain first, then on Sunday in the sun, a lil long but thought I'd leave footage in in case someone's car is on the video & you can see yourself or something. They're in 1080HD so adjust the settings as your connection allows...

    So are we allowed ...

    To share the incredible reveal that Ralph gave us? I know no pics, but can we share the new model coming and the raffle car? Man I can't wait for this thing to come out. Dave.

    Removing hoops?

    Popped the viper logo plates and I see a couple choices on bolts, what's the exact way to pull them to gain access behind the rear bullhead. Vert of course. Thnx.

    Stereo replacement harness question, Gen4

    Sorry guys, I tried the search & figured I'd find this easily but was sifting thru all kinds of threads. I'm just looking for a stereo harness for plug & play / install kit for a Kenwood stereo, or a sony, just want to drop a stereo in for my iPhone prior to VOI. Again, sorry for a lame stereo...

    Console power outlet no worky, ideas?

    I've never tried to use it til now and it's dead, weird. Before I start trying to figure out why, anyone have this problem or an idea on it? Does it have it's own fuse?

    Has anyone played with Silver/Black photoshop yet?

    I was searching around and didn't see any, if I missed it could someone point me in the right direction. Looking for anything in silver or silver with black accent/stripes etc. I've gotta get my PS back up & running, I had a computer die & haven't done the recovery on the stupid ID license. ugh.

    HD Vid walk-around & pics from 5-20-2012 Fair Oaks Event

    This was an awesome event. Ralph was great, a real car guy for sure. Talked about the 6 cars they've built so far, all 'engineering cars'. They're going to do a run of 100 soon. He said they have to log 1 million miles on them before going full bore. He said the pic on Forza is a real ex of...
