    BFG's or Kumho's ?? Who has experience with both?

    Re: BFG\'s or Kumho\'s ?? Who has experience with both? I run 31-32 hot street, 39-40 hot track. Haven't tried the other tires, but Kumhos rock! Watch out in the rain though... not much there in terms of grooving.

    Good COP !! (TROOPER)

    Remember little Billy Sniffle? The kid in the schoolyard who got picked last for the kick ball teams? The one with the mis-matched socks who the girls giggled at? The one who you lost track of after he graduated. (103rd out of 286)? Well, Billy's got a badge now, and he remembers all those...

    Fastest I have Driven my Viper

    145-150 on the back straight at VIR. Cops are insane around here - they will jail you for 95 mph! Every time, no discussion.

    Wow! DC just extended Ambassador coupons to SRT-10!

    This is going to be interesting. Only good til Dec. 31. Also applies to SRT Ram (both models) and SRT-4. Now if they only let it apply to Charger SRT8, I'd have to think really hard... Dear VCA Member: We have some great news regarding the DaimlerChrysler Ambassador Program. For the...

    another mag test CD. viper vs vette

    Cheer up! Only Viper's have instant bolt-on gratification! (Z's already maxed out compression ratio). Here's the fix (and Woodhouse will even honor the factory warranty if you buy the car from them!) Cure for them ol' Corvette Blues!

    another mag test CD. viper vs vette

    Well, poor is relative - read the article. The Vette barely beat the Viper around the track, but the "Driver's knees were wobbly." No confidence inspired by its handling. They also said it magnified every minor bump on the track and rear end slid out constantly when suspension got upset...

    another mag test CD. viper vs vette

    Got my copy today and read it at lunch. Sounds like the Z is somewhat quicker, but handles poorly. If I wanted a Vette, I'd get one, but I'd rather Paxton-ize the Viper... One day...

    Bad Coupe in the Badlands [Pics... dial-up beware]

    Anyone who seriously says they prefer the Z06 over this is missing some screws, imo... Great car!

    Archer Third at Laguna

    I watched it live on Speed... Looked like a fricken demo-derby! Woodhouse got taken out in the first lap... Sad to watch all the carnage, and they only really raced a half dozen laps or so...

    Why does DC choose not to install traction

    Glad to hear the next version will have some electronic controls (hopefully overide-able) for traction/handling. Count me as one who supports the integration of proven technology to make these cars better. Purists can always buy a comp coupe, or remove some of the technology, if they want...

    Why does the SRT 10 gets no love around the RT 10/GTS crowd.

    More grist for the mill: The RT is beginning to look just a tad dated, compared with the SRT-10 - not enough to offset its advantages in the curves department, but there are some views of the SRT I like better. Also, for someone (like me) who MUST be able to enjoy open-air motoring, the...

    Why does the SRT 10 gets no love around the RT 10/GTS crowd.

    Have to tell you, I'm one RT owner who loves the SRT10, as well. One day, I'll probably have one...

    whats she worth

    mid-forties, give the buyer a choice on the exhaust - if you have to pay to remove it, might not be worth it... Nice 2000, great color, not wild about the cognac interior, but still think it could bring 46K-47K.

    Motor Trend isn't very hot about the new Viper

    Re: Motor Trend isn\'t very hot about the new Viper So... order your roadster of SRT-10 Coupe from Woodhouse with the Paxton, and they'll cover it with factory warranty. Problem solved...

    Partsrack customer service rude.

    Re: NO SOUP FOR YOU!! GO AWAY - COME BACK NEXT MONTH! Agree, Tony. If you need someone to hold your hand, go back to the Corvette Forum. Jon knows these cars as well as anyone, and his prices are usually very competitive. He also supports Vipers, Viperdays, everything Viper as much as...

    Vetts everywhere....more made in a single year then all Vipers combined!!

    Well, if what's happened with other "classic" or "collectible" cars, we won't have to wait that long. Here's one example, a 1984 Rustang that's already appreciated (if you go by the asking price) more than its MSRP, and they made 900-some of this particular model. Old Rustang I believe...
