    They totaled my Viper today

    Yeah, I talked to JonB last week. He went to Viper Days up at VIR then had another matter to deal with and will be back in his office tomorrow. He said he will do whatever he can to help and gave me some good advice.

    Gen IV w/ bolt ons? Gen 3 Paxtonized? Or ACR?

    My wife insists on it. She loves it as much as I do. Some people chase tornados with their wives, some people scuba dive with sharks with their wives....me and my wife hunt Vettes and Porsches and Lambos on the weekends. Thats our past time. Most of the time we just meet the car, pull over...

    Gen IV w/ bolt ons? Gen 3 Paxtonized? Or ACR?

    Only twice have I actually cut up in traffic, and both of those times were with a members of VCA. When I go balls to the wall it is only when there has been miles of open highway and no traffic for several miles. I know there are risks, I know I could be struck by lightening and have a heart...

    They totaled my Viper today

    I am very glad they bought you a new one, your car also shows very minor damage externally except the front bumper from what I can see. But yep....the frame...the friggin frame. The frame alone is $36,000, it comes in 3 sections at $12,000 per section. Then add in labor, new panels, new wheels...

    They totaled my Viper today

    I just wanted to say that although I was replacing a Jeff Lemke hood, Jeff makes great stuff and is a wonderful straight up guy. I would buy more products from him in a heartbeat. When Jeff came out with the Gen 4 hood back in 06 or 07, I bought like the first or second one he made...and he was...

    Not sure how much the cost of the damage is just yet. Car is being taken over to a shop for evaluation right next to Underground Racing, I think its called Scott Autobody on Tyvola in Charlotte. I am taking pics of the car and sending the pics up to Tator for his body shop guy to review.

    Gen IV w/ bolt ons? Gen 3 Paxtonized? Or ACR?

    Ray, is their much difference in the handling between the Paxton car and the Gen 4? Can you feel the extra weight in the nose in the Gen 3 car? Also, it seems if you are at a higher mph in the Gen 4 but a tenth of a second slower, that seems it may be traction issues. Which car hooks best? The...

    Agreed. Yeah, it first hit me this weekend when I saw all the other sports cars out enjoying the nice weather, going to car shows, and all the Vettes strutting around like they owned the road. It just got my blood-a-boiling.:evilmad:
