Road and Puke best 9 Sports Car-March 2005
2 statistics stood out - the base C6 had a faster lap time, the base C6 outbraked the SRT. Look at the segment times. Looks like the new Z06 is going to walk on the SRT in a road course.- JBenko

Gosh , are we maybe just so passionate we miss what others see?
Bill, I don't think anyone's personal commitment is being questioned here. I have no doubt that there are numerous individuals at DC who are chomping at the bit to do an aluminum frame, make a dry sump motor, replace body panels with carbon fiber, add a diff cooler, redo engine internals in...- JBenko

Yea or nay vote for the new viper coupe
No. I love the looks of both my Gen 1.5 and my Gen 2. Could go either way on the looks of the Gen 3 and the coupe. However, looks, cupholders, navigation, stability control, heated seats, and any other unnecessary crap on the car doesn't matter one bit. I bought both my Vipers for one reason...- JBenko

Road America Results
Congratulations to Mr. McCann and Mr. Woodhouse for holding off Ron Fellows for the majority of the race. Good show guys ! It's pretty cool to see several Viper Days alumni succesfully dicing it up with the pro's. Additional comment - it's certainly questionable whether Beretta is "the best...- JBenko

What happened to DEVILDOG'S post regarding the VCA???
Re: What happened to DEVILDOG\'S post regarding the VCA??? Sorry guys at JRT for what I'm about to say... My views on the VQ have changed over time. I would probably have to agree that it has evolved into a Neon / Ram / blatant DC brochure with minimal "real" content. I look at the BMW club...- JBenko

Can I Drive my Viper in The Snow
Last year I was moving my RT/10 from the garage to the pole barn and I got stuck in my driveway. There was less than 1/2 inch of snow and it was very close to level ground. I ended up having to tow it with a strap attached to the front tow hook. Short of chains 13" rear tires aint goin'...- JBenko

Frustrated with the VCA
This thread is interesting if for no other reason than it brings out a lot of "old timers". As a past President of the MN chapter I would probably have to say that I agree that the Zones have added an unnecessary level of mgmt that has succeeded only in separating the clubs from the National...- JBenko

TERRIBLE NEWS - PAUL MUMFORD - PLANE CRASH?
Paul I met Paul at several Viper Days events in '99. The first time I ever really talked to him was at Road America when I asked what he had hidden in his car to be so fast. He smiled and gave me a short list of suggestions. I'll never forget how he emphasized: "...and quit being a [******]...- JBenko

The KONI adjustables - Bump and Rebound
The diesal and blowing with compressed air finally ended up working for me. They had to sit for a week but they eventually did move. They can be disassembled / rebuilt but I wasn't that ambitious. Had they not moved I would have taken the opportunity to have them revalved for more rebound...- JBenko

Jack stand question
Tim, You only need 1 jack. Find the jacking point in front of one of the rear wheels (where the loop is welded on) and jack up that side of the car enough to get stands under the frame (front and rear). After carefully lowering the jack to get the 1st two stands in place switch to the other...- JBenko
