    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly....

    Check out a couple of my posts w/ me and Viper Tony and Slim Jim all lined up on the side of the road getting tickets from a NY State Trooper while on our way to Saratoga. It happens. :D But if I was worried about the dangers of owning and driving Vipers like they were built to be driven, I...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly....

    They should put more hot dog bun vendors at the tracks! Makes for good cook outs! As far as what would Obama do? Who knows, who cares. When I strap myself into my Viper I cannot even remember, nor do I even care who is running for office!

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly....

    It was so much fun I could barely stand it! I have had my car almost 2 yrs and have never had this much fun in one day unless I am at a Viper event and we are all cruising around. But still, its not the same. Racing other Vipers is one thing, but thats all in the family. Going against the...

    Why Can't I sell this Car???

    I would rather sell a relative than sell my Viper. The economy is horrible. Its not that no one wants it, its that they cannot afford it. Sit tight, it will move. Especially w/ all the rumors of the Vipers future circulating. I am saving up for a Ford GT now. And there are plenty of people...

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly....

    The Good: I guess it was some kinda universal message throughout Connecticut today...everyone brought out their sports cars. I drive my Viper once or twice a week, and rarely come across any serious competition. Not so for today. I had four battles....and I did the Viper world proud....I...

    Roe vs. Paxton

    Point taken. My suggestion was that it seems to be a slight preference to Paxton for guys that have had both systems.

    Roe vs. Paxton

    Traction is hard enough w/ my cream puff 528 rwhp. Having 600 to 700 rwhp at 1800 rpm is just craaaaaazy to me. Torque is already monstrous in Vipers, which I think is one reason for the 3.07 rear end. From what the Paxton guys tell me, of the two Paxton is the way to go. Now, if TT enters...

    Did you regret putting a Paxton on your SRT? Help!

    Dont know how I feel about a green sports car...but I am stongly leaning towards the ACR paint scheme, black w/ the red stripe down the side!!:nana:Killer! As far as guys regretting putting Paxtons on, there are a very few that do, but it seems the overwhelming majority of guys that put them...

    Belanger problems again

    Bull****. These codes did not come until the headers were installed. But maybe since I did a bunch of other stuff...you might be right:dunno: :D

    Did you regret putting a Paxton on your SRT? Help!

    Ok, time to take the plunge too. At first you are simply happy as fly on **** to have a Viper, then you want more power, and more, and more. Especially since the Ferrari Scud and Lambo 560 are both running low 11's....stock. And the new ZR1 will probably run high 10's. For me, since the Viper...

    always competing

    Mike's pic does not do the Copperhead justice, MikeR's car would look much nicer in person. Having said that, Its a tie. Both cars are gorgeous, and both are extremely fast!

    2006 High Speed **FEEL** thoughts/comments

    I had my Viper up to 190 mph about 3 months ago. Felt exactly like she felt at 130 mph. I have heard guys say Vipers get light in the rear and feels "unsure" at speeds around 160mph plus. I disagree. She was planted and sure. I raced an 04 Z06 earlier this year. I was already walking him, but...

    Car & Driver does it again.......

    There are people who dislike the Yankees b/c they win too much. There are people who dislike Tiger Woods b/c he wins too much. There are people who dislike the Patriots b/c they win too much. And there are people who will dislike or find fault w/ the Viper b/c it wins too much. When the Z06...

    Honestly...what are you going to do?

    When that fateful day comes that Vipers are not made anymore? The value of Viper's is going to double. Gen 1's will be going for 60k, Gen 2's for 70-80k, gen 3's for 100k, and gen 4's for like 130k. Are you gonna sell? Or are you gonna remain faithful? If you sell, what is your price? Me...

    What age is the Viper Owner ?

    I think the older guys buy Vipers out of loyatly and nostalgia. We tend to remain loyal to the brand. I think (but its just and unfounded position) that the younger guys buy Vipers if they can afford them. Run them, race them, and many wreck them, then they move on to other interests. I could be...

    Car & Driver does it again.......

    Lets face it, it takes certains balls to drive Vipers. Most people simply dont have those balls, and seem to resent those of us that do. Also, one must remember that the sole purpose of these rags is sales. The Gen 4 Viper alone dominates every sports car cateragory of significance (Road and...

    Belanger problems again

    I would be interested to see how and if you solve this. I have had this problem every since I put my Belangers on. I love the power, I love the sound, I hate the constant throwing of the codes. We tried everything, insulation, O2 sims, etc. Nothing worked. Finally, I was given a new card to...

    New Vipers are not moving??

    My only guess as to why Vipers are not moving is the cost, definitely not due to lack of interest. On the way back from Paddock MotorSports yesterday, me and Viper Tony attracted so much attention, we had a fan club of cars (attempting to) follow us as we, lets just say, had a really good time...

    Does the K&N intake actually do anything?

    Should K&N's be cleaned or changed after say, 10,000 miles?
