    Viper ACR Roadster

    I could have sworn that Bill P told me when I bought mine that the front aero was different from a coupe ACR as well, when I asked him about the track extension. If not from him, then I read it somewhere. I just looked up our email exchange on 9/7/10, right after I took delivery and here's...

    2012 Keeneland Concours d'Elegance

    Thanks, Steve! Even if I don't get a trophy this time, it's been a lot of fun preparing for it and documenting it.

    2012 Keeneland Concours d'Elegance

    Yes, the Mothers Powerball comes in a small version with an extension that I find really useful in lots of places (especially exhausts), but would work well in the engine as well. You might need a 2nd extension stick though, to get deep into the engine! Mine: As for what to use, have you...

    2012 Keeneland Concours d'Elegance

    Adams makes some good stuff. What are you looking to clean up in the engine bay? Leaked fluids? General dustiness? All I usually use is just detail spray, a towel, and a brush to get into nooks and crannies. Look up Junkman2008 on here; he lives in Louisville but is on many car forums and...

    2012 Keeneland Concours d'Elegance

    What one in particular are you using? I've used the Turtle Wax Black Box on my black Charger SRT-8 and had good results with it. As with anything that "fills" the scratches though, as it wears off over time, the scratches come back. Depending on what you're working with, you may be looking at...

    2012 Keeneland Concours d'Elegance

    Haha, thanks, I've planned to post the whole thing up on this forum too, once I'm done with it. Figured I'd air it out a little (as I do the prep) on another forum before throwing myself to the detailing wolves, though.

    2012 Keeneland Concours d'Elegance

    Thanks, Stretch. I'll add that I'm showing in Class 16 (purple and white dots on the map), which is very close to Viper club parking. Mine's gettin' shinier and shinier... (Shhh... you can follow my progress on prepping for this show on a little local forum here...

    2012 Keeneland Concours d'Elegance

    It looks like Viper WILL have a dedicated Car Club parking area, between the Cobras and the British Sterling Society! Make sure you tell them you're parking in Car Club Parking when you come in! More info...

    2012 Keeneland Concours d'Elegance

    There was last year, but that'd be a question for Stretch. He usually lets them know to hold an area. We only had 3 last year there.

    ACR sets NASA Track Record at Pueblo Motorsports Park

    Congrats, I saw on your facebook that you came within a tenth of the record at Putnam Park... I've been there a few times, what was your best there?

    Best comment you overheard someone say about your car...

    I'd had mine about a month or two and took it to Edgewater drag strip up near Cincinnati. I had no intentions of really setting any records with it, but wanted to get a feel for it on the track, after a few years of pushing my 650-hp Challenger to some low 11s. They have two lanes on Test &...

    Question for those who own or have owned Porsche 911 and Viper?

    Our local PCA is very active too, and puts on nearly weekly events. Great bunch of guys, even if they drive Porsche.

    Wow, that's one expensive Gen4.

    If I'm not mistaken, it has a lap timer (hardcore package?) instead of a stereo in the picture of the dash, yet the description says it has a stereo and 6-disc CD changer. Something don't add up.

    Viper ACR Roadster

    Look up the Toy Barn in Dublin, OH. 328 miles $125,663 And they did put the seats back in.

    Viper ACR Roadster

    I love 'em all equally, but mine more equally than others. And I had a request for some pictures from a year or so ago with a model and my Challenger hanging around:

    Shew, this is giving me ideas. Bad ideas.

    Standard Insurance for HPDE

    I've been in a similar boat and took out separate track insurance (to the tune of $700) just for the day. I'd called my insurance company, State Farm, and was definitively told "NO" when asked if it was covered. In your case, since it seems you have some leeway, I'd go as far as possible...

    Driver mod... Where to start?

    Going Faster is a good resource, but it's a book trying to explain something that's very visceral. It's like playing a video game... without feeling the car, the Gs, the traction, it's nearly useless. The best is just being in the driver's seat though. Find an abandoned or empty parking lot...

    HPDE Spin Out 5/19/12

    Went to an HPDE at Putnam Park in Indiana this past weekend, had an absolute blast. This is my second one, so I'm still learning a lot about the car and about driving it at its limits. Spun off track twice, but got video footage of the first one, both from the car behind me, and from...

    2012 Keeneland Concours d'Elegance

    http://www.keenelandconcours.com/ July 21 2012 will be this year's Keeneland Concours d'Elegance at Keeneland in Lexington. I've been (as have some others on here) the last several years as a Paddock participant with the nonjudged area. This year I've been fortunate to have my Viper...

    What about the cops?

    I agree with this, and it applies to a lot of other cars besides Vipers. It's really saying something when you have a souped up hot rod and still take the time to put on blinkers when you change lanes, or wave to someone who gives space and lets you over. Douchebaggery is douchebaggery...

    VIPER vs VETTE vs PORSCHE Track Day

    Treesnake, you know I'd love to be out there this weekend, family obligations and the Kentucky Derby are this weekend though! We'll catch up again soon, until then, have a blast and eat some Vettes for me!

    Vipers Run the Kentucky Bourbon Trail July 30-31, 2011

    A little thread necro, but something those of you who attended this event last year: We did our photo shoot at Winstar Farm in Versailles, and being that it's now officially Kentucky Derby season, lots of articles about horses that are contenders. This article caught my eye this morning about...
