    Does Viper have built-in roll bar/roll over protection suitable for 6 pt harness use?

    Re: Does Viper have built-in roll bar/roll over protection suitable for 6 pt harness Here is my opinion of harnesses. Lets assume that the car is not going to roll over. If you use a harness to hold you firmly in place during a violent crash, you are very much more at risk for serious injury...

    Suspension - air ride

    I know the person that built the black car in front of the dealership. That car was from about 4 or 5 years ago IIRC, but with todays more modern valves, ride height sensors and controllers, I do think it would be a viable option. Car was for sale about 12 months ago....don't know if it sold or...

    What's the story here?

    Your car looks fantastic....totally love the no stripe look. If you're not a past member, don't waste your time worrying about the political crap. Since you have a Gen 2 you'll be needing more and more tech help as the car gets older and will obviously need more stuff (replacement parts, tech...

    Gen V has it's work cut out for it at the Ring...

    Ring Spling.....who give a hell since the P1 was not even a production unit yet and the Nismo GTR is about a year away and not even close to being a US legal production unit yet. I love seeing manufacturers going to the Ring with both prototype and production cars, but don't run a prototype that...

    RSI Twin Turbo 1250 Gen 5 SRT Viper Heading to Idaho| RacingSolutions.com

    We'll it appears Nixon's SRT is correct. There are pictures of the RSI Viper in the pits and on the track for the event. http://bangshift.com/gallery/2013-optima-ultimate-street-car-invitational.html?pid=168070 I wonder what happened?? George

    The Elephant in the room

    Let's cut to the chase....I doubt that any region has a lot of money left in the regional account. So if the regions do have left over money with no VCA region left to leave it to....donate the monies to a children's hospital or children's charity. Don't stupidly use the monies on a party...

    Could be coming

    I've studied this design a bit. It has some merit. Here are my initial thoughts, maybe others have more info to put into this for discussion. For a high performance driving car, tire pressures are part of handling and being able to "tune" the cars handling....not sure this can be adjusted...

    C. O. T. A...anyone?

    $1400.00 for 3 days of driving?.....in my book that would be a bargain because of the venue. I wish I was closer to that track. I can only imagine what the cost is going to go up to in the spring or fall track season. George

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    Jesus Bob, who is attacking Herb? I asked a very honest question. I did not realize that Herb was on the payroll until 12 months or so when it became public. Since I did not know he was getting paid then, I did not think it was a huge issue that he was not anywhere NEAR timely in answering...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    Bob you bring up a good point about Herb being a treasure. I have not been a paid member since the beginning of 2012. At that time, I had no idea that Herb was on a VCA or VPA payroll or when he actually went on the payroll. I thought he was just answering questions on the forum because he...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    A little "birdie" just told me what the surprise from the VPA is going to be....Fart-Proof Seat Covers. With this fantastic accessory, you can now sell your Viper and honestly claim nobody has farted in the seats. They are available in three great scents.......Spin-Control Strawberry...

    My Observations about VCA - This is NOT Good

    So you're saying that Jon B is not the brightest bulb in the box......but I bet he is the most gay!! You'll have to look over at the VOA site to get that joke. Just thought a little TrackAire humor was in order to lighten up the mood. Cheers, George

    fair price for 08 vett with 20k miles?

    Twister, Definitely get a hold of some of the SoCal members or hire somebody like Dan Craggin to check it out. Specifically look for body/crash/flood damage. Do not believe CarFax or Autocheck or any of those services when dealing with an exotic. An experienced Viper specialist is your best...

    fair price for 08 vett with 20k miles?

    Twister, If the dealership you're dealing with has the name "Mitsubishi" in it, I would pay somebody to go do a very thorough pre purchase exam. I've tried to buy vehicles from them a few years ago and the used car situation was a little rough. There attitude when we'd point out something...

    CTek...anyone use 7002 (vs 3302)?

    Excellent points Thom. For those that get stuck with a very dead battery and only have a smart charger without the "supply" feature available, you can fool it into charging the dead battery by temporarily connect a good battery to the "dead" battery.....positive to positive, negative to...

    What are the VCA plans for events etc. for 2014?

    So Bob, based on your explanation a couple of posts above, Mary was not brought up in the heat of the battle, but Chris Marshall was on an hourly basis with a lot of questions and allegations. If the Marshalls really cared about the club and its future, then Chris should have stepped down from...

    Possible C7 Z06 detail

    Bluestreak, don't tell me what I have or have not seen. I have personally seen two modified ZR1's have internal motor damage....there were modified (as posted above), and they did require complete engine rebuilds. The most recent is a guy I race with in the Nor Cal racing club. I personally...

    CTek...anyone use 7002 (vs 3302)?

    I've got both the Multi US 7002 and a smaller model Multi US 3300 (not familiar with the 3302). Bought them both in either 2009 or 2010. Both have the AGM feature which I need (also allows for charging in colder temps). They have both worked, if you're leaving it on as a maintainer, I would...

    Possible C7 Z06 detail

    Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean, but on the road race track the ZR1 has not been anywhere as capable as the Z06 due to heat soak when run hard for multiple sessions in the heat. It will run, but heat soak slows it down....a lot. I stand by this statement for stock motored ZR1's. Once...

    Told ya...

    Shocks that have multiple adjustments, swaybars, different trans ratios or rear end ratios, electronic differential, CCB's, adjustable ride height, very aggressive splitter/aero, rear wing that adjusts as you drive, seats, harnesses, lighter weight like the hardcore package, diff cooler, trans...

    Gen V ACR Needed For Ring Time

    Most are taking a rumor that the P1 ran a 6:47 minute Ring lap as gospel. Just the facts up to this point: -There is no video proof (everybody else posts a video with timer, etc) of the Ring attempt and time. -Was this a production car?......I'll wager money that it is not a vehicle that...

    Gen V ACR Needed For Ring Time

    I'll be impressed with the 918 or the P1 when they take a unit onto the track that came off the standard production line. Pre-production models are just that, not something you can buy. I'll even wager to say that the 918 that set the fast time doesn't even have a VIN or can be sold to the...

    2008 Viper Acceleration - "like pullling an old man out of his chair" . . .

    I had Bad Boyzz Garage do the gears, OS Giken Diff and built transmission with lowered 5th and 6th gear. Call Toddy to give you the complete list of mods, but IIRC, the gears were cryo'd and micro polished, bolts safety tied and some other upgrades he can tell you about. George

    Gen V ACR Needed For Ring Time

    Bingo!!....I'd love to see that! All that extra weight and no juice to be had, lol. Also, the Nissan GT-R Nismo is not a record because I only consider production cars that can be bought as valid Ring times. Apparently the Ring GT-R will not be available for about a year. Lots of stuff can...
