    Pilot Sport Cups pressure?

    ...reviving an old thread; there have been a lot of laps run in the last two years. Chip in with your experiences on-track with the Cups. ACR info especially! Thanks, Rich

    What do you think on where we placed at Le Mans?

    Agree on watchability: I'd like to see the prototypes ditched, or at least reduced to one class, and have the domestic series (United SportsCar) feature the GT cars. Perhaps GT-pro and GT-am, with a spec P-car class. So much more fun to see recognizable cars, even if they are whacked-out...

    What do you think on where we placed at Le Mans?

    Posted in another thread, but more applicable here: I wonder to what extent these race results will play a role in future rule-making regarding the Viper, both in ALMS/UnitedSportsCar and at LeMans. Common sense would seem to dictate that the GTS-R's are slightly over-restricted and unable...

    Streaming live LeMans?

    I wonder to what extent these race results will play a role in future rule-making regarding the Viper, both in ALMS/UnitedSportsCar and at LeMans. Common sense would seem to dictate that the GTS-R's are slightly over-restricted and unable to keep truly competitive pace. But a bit of cynicism...

    Streaming live LeMans?

    I'm on the road with no SpeedTV... anyone watching via streaming? I see http://www.lemans-tv.com/ but not sure how well this will work... Thanks in advance for any help, Rich

    Test Day Le Mans 2013

    Those of you also curious why Ryan Dalziel is absent from the pics: he was back stateside (Mid-Ohio) at the Rolex series. On the podium, too! And if any of you are growing impatient waiting for this weekend... pick up a little novel called The Art of Racing in the Rain. Especially if you...

    Test Day Le Mans 2013

    Thanks for the pics, as usual... Two questions: --Is the TA also hanging out at LeMans? --Where's Ryan?

    Here are the times from the second (better weather) session on test day. Clearly, plenty for the engineers to work on: I am re-evaluating my expectations :-| Test Day Session 2 Results (Quickest Lap Time During Session) 1. No. 99 Aston Martin Vantage V8 3:59.148...

    G5 Red/Black on the Rack

    But then your friends don't get to slobber all over a Stryker Red GTS!!! So selfish. On the other hand, go find that black SRT and drive Seca with me at the end of the month... Rich

    Test Day Le Mans 2013

    Call me greedy, but I'm not satisfied with a goal of "both cars finishing". At Seca, they said they'd be happy with 5th, because getting the cars to LeMans intact was most important. Managing expectations is one thing, but I'd like to hear a little more chest-thumping. These are some really...

    Test Day Le Mans 2013

    Sorry to admit that I'm just now noticing this, but why did the #91 have to get rebadged as the #53?

    Test Day Le Mans 2013

    Great to see these pics, thanks for sharing! Viper's return to GT has made me a new fan of the sportscar series; I honestly paid only mild attention before. And now, with the spectacle of LeMans ahead... it's kinda like I have a new Super Bowl-level event to enjoy. And I have a couple of...

    Glad they are going to limit the amount Corvettes & Mustangs at Cars & Coffee Irvine

    Re: Glad they are going to limit the amount Corvettes & Mustangs at Cars & Coffee Irv Perhaps a better solution for the Irvine C&C would've been to name the "overattending" models and simply set a quota. As in, "we have 10 slots for Corvette owners that care enough to get here early"...

    What makes the Gen5 worth $100K?

    I don't know the exact number, but the motor alone is probably $25k. One place to start adding it up...

    Gen IV rear bumper "slot": sagging plastic?

    Steve, is it possible to modify (cut down) the convert piece to fit a coupe? Or are the convert slots LARGER than the coupe's? Thanks, Rich

    "Calling Gen 4 ACR Owners" for a prevention precaution tip. SRT Engineers?

    a little info on 2014

    Keep 'em rare, but build enough so that some of us might still be able to cherry-pick a low miles garage queen after a few years. Perhaps the best market/production comparison would be Nissan GT-R's, at about 1500/year IIRC... Rich

    GTS-R ALMS Race Monterey 5/10-5/12, 2013

    What a fantastic day. SRT hosting was great, and they had the hospitality trailer unit perfectly positioned at the T2 hairpin. With its observation deck we had a perfect view of the action. Prior to things going awry... A locked wheel on braking costs the Ferrari... Coming through 8a...

    SRT10 suspension compared to driving 400+ hp Lightning

    I've never before thought of the driver's position relative to the center of rotation, and that makes complete sense. Very insightful.

    Gen IV rear bumper "slot": sagging plastic?

    So, are we all on the same page? There's a Mopar part but it will not fit the coupe?

    Gen IV rear bumper "slot": sagging plastic?

    Has anyone experienced sagging in the boxed regions of the pic below? On my '09 ACR, that upper border of plastic is dipping down and sagging a bit. Reaching around that upper edge, I can't feel any kind of filler or support material... shouldn't there be something in there to provide...
