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

    I bet the guys at SRT and Riley are disappointed. Concerning SRT inexperience, that is a poor excuse bcz everyone knows it was Riley running the effort, not SRT. That is why Riley was contracted...to win. There is no inexperience there at Riley and plenty of rookie drivers have been on...

    GT3-R

    So the more I think about this car...it sure makes the current ACR/ACR-X look like one heck of a deal. Just sayin...pricewise. Great car, and I applaud the entry to the 'team' but is it priced too high?

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

    Very disappointed. I would rather see good pace than finish in the back of the pack to every other manufacturer. Just my 2c.

    Viper sets another track record

    Allen, 'unofficial times' are nothing but rumors...I've done an unofficial (stopwatch timed) 1:53 but I don't claim it...as for the ZR1, I say bring it on. ;)

    Viper sets another track record

    1:57 at HPR. That's quick on Pirelli tires! (My ACR's NASA track record is 1:55 on Hoosiers).

    *PICS* Live from Le Mans, France 2013

    So who wrote checks for the first GT3-R? Jim Stout looked like a cat who ate the mouse. ;) Maybe this is why we haven't seen any Gen V's at the NARRA events..these guys knew something better was coming..this car ends the debate about what's the best Viper track car. Way to go Riley...

    GT3-R

    My ACR has similar HP without the software upgrade, so there is probably even more power in tap.

    Where are all the "real" track reports by owners?

    Allan, sounds like you are definitely going in the right direction and having fun with your Gen V. Too stiff will lead to some oversteer for sure. I suspect you will want to keep the rear shocks a couple clicks softer than fronts in most situations unless this car handles like a Vette, which I...

    Don't have your Gen 5 yet? Rent one from Hertz!

    Great, those cars will soon be in the used market killing everyone's resale value..on the plus side, what a ride if you need to make a quick trip to Vegas!

    Wear and Tear from Road Racing

    Most track cars never get driven in the rain (no rusty parts underneath), get constant regular and preventative maintenance, get driven by someone who is very attune to anything that is not right (so it gets adjusted or fixed). 2000 track miles is barely breaking in a Viper if its by an...

    Test Day Le Mans 2013

    I wish they would put that center lug wheel on the new ACR...how about just build (and sell) a few more GTS-R's :)

    Test Day Le Mans 2013

    It seems like a long time ago that a GT car had a chance for an overall win at this race...now even the Viper is like bringing a knife to a gun fight. Did SRT have any T-shirts made up for the event? Or are they waiting to print up the LeMans 2013 'Winner' shirts? How about something like...

    Where are all the "real" track reports by owners?

    One typical track weekend on a set of tires? Personally, I think that's pretty weak tire wear but I have already said that I don't use a real aggressive camber setting. I do know some tracks which eat tires like that though. I think Allen should know what's typical tire performance at his...

    I volunteered to be Deputy Race Director...still waiting for a call back. ;)

    Red/Black SRT has Arrived!

    With all the option possibilities, that's kind of dumbfounding...its a nice drive up the highway, but be sure to make a few detours and don't keep the pedal level the whole time. Putnam Park might be a nice little detour, and of course, Mid-O ;)

    Where are all the "real" track reports by owners?

    Maybe save some money and put some scrub slicks on it now (to get it dialed in)....I don't think the tires are causing it to bump and roll but if you have it dialed in with Hoosiers then put Corsas on it and you get the problem back you have your answer.

    Red/Black SRT has Arrived!

    Great looking car! Badass!! Biggest dumbest question: So, can you get the GTS stripes on an SRT?

    Few questions about viper before I order one

    Don't be fooled.. The MI boys from SRT put winter tires on their Vipers in winter. Duh!

    Where are all the "real" track reports by owners?

    The range doesn't tell all..for eg, one click on the ACRX shocks is equal to three clicks on ACR shocks, and setup is clockwise instead of cc. Go in a positive direction. Here is a good article on bump steer. http://www.longacreracing.com/articles/art.asp?ARTID=13

    Where are all the "real" track reports by owners?

    Allen, I am sure Mark adjusted the bump steer after shock change? Also, is the front tire wearing more on the inside or outside shoulder? Personally I would start with less camber all around (try the settings I suggested above), check the bump steer, and see if you can 'neutralize' the handling...

    I'm torn about possibly selling my car

    Both great cars, very different 'attitudes.' One new owner here says the Gen V is the closest thing to a race car in street clothing he has ever driven (but I don't know if he's drive a Gen IV ACR), so you might like that. At a very minimum, take the new Viper for a test drive. Better yet...
