    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    As a member of this club since it's inception in 1995, it pains me to read this thread. I've met many of my close friends in this club and I look forward to meeting many new ones. I believe a solution to some of the key issues raised in this and other threads is to formally split VPA off as a...

    Surprised no one ever made 17" 5 spoke replicas in a larger size?

    Agree that the oiginal 1996-1997 wheels have a great look. ACRs are a nightmare to keep clean and the 18in wheels are too plain. 19s would be great. 1996 wheels are cast, but the 1997 wheels are forged and hold up on track. 19's would also better fill the wheel wells.

    Barrett-Jaskson-Reno

    This month's Sports Car Market has a good overview of the current values of Gen I RT/10s and the amazing value, performance to fun ratio and reliability compared to other sports cars. Who will drive up the price of these great cars are the kids that put up Viper posters on their bed room walls...

    Why do viper owners tend to keep miles so low?

    Most Vipers are not purchased as daily drivers. Porsches, NSXs and Vettes are more typically used as a primary vehicle, hence the higher mileage. I use a 911 every day, while my Viper and other sports cars are weekend warriors. The Viper is very reliable (I've had my RT/10 for 20 years.) Other...

    Hey SRT/Ralph. Why are mostly Corvette cars pacing pro races?

    As said previously, pace cars are a profit business for the tracks. Manufacturers pay for the privilege to promote their vehicles.

    Looking for a die-cast of 2013 Le Mans Vipers

    Spark and Minichamps usually create Le Mans race car models. I believe they are released in the Fall.

    original GTS-R video footage

    Nadine, thanks for posting this great video. I was lucky to attend Le Mans in 1996 with the Viper Canaska Southwind team which placed 10th overall at that race. I'll also attend Le Mans this year with SRT team. So will Hewlett Packard which sponsored the Viper team in 1996 and returns as a...

    I might start a war here but I'm gonna ask anyways...

    I've owned my RT/10 for 19 years and only used the top twice. I love driving the RT/10 on sunny days, but use my 1996 GTS when travelling overnight or have my wife with me. Luckily I have both, but would chose to keep the GTS if I was forced to sell one.
