    Green Stuff

    WOW. As always, I'm impressed and blown away by the support that I get not only by board members, but by JonB and the staff at PartsRack. JonB and the Wing King both spent time with me on the phone today, addressing my concerns about the reds that I went through. I think that the problem was...

    Green Stuff

    Well, I took a brand-new set of reds to the track yesterday, and in about 3 hours ground them down to metal. I'd had 2 track days on the stock pads without much in the way of noticable wear - needless to say I'm not wildly happy about the reds. Also, I have an unbelievable amount of brake dust...

    Competition Coupe...How It Started

    Does anyone know if any of the current TransAm, LeMans, etc. race teams have committed to the new coupe? I would love love love to see Tommy Archer and Cinjo kick some major chucklehole in the new coupe.

    Wouldn't it suck to get beaten by a minivan?

    Wouldn\'t it suck to get beaten by a minivan? Don't know if anyone's seen this one, but some guy out there apparently has a 12 second wood paneled minivan. http://webpages.krausonline.com/spaul/index.html

    ANYBODY SEEN HRE 541'S ON A VIPER?

    Re: ANYBODY SEEN HRE 541\'S ON A VIPER? I have the HRE 540's and I'm very happy with them. I got the polished wheels, which are a bit more expensive and require more care than, for instance, anodized black. There are several different models of HRE wheels that i've seen, but the 540's are by...

    Longest Trip in The Viper?

    I bought mine in New Jersey and drove it to Seattle, something over 3000 miles. I've also taken it from Seattle to San Diego and back, 3 times.

    Archer wins:

    I had the opportunity to go to PIR and watch the race, along with others from the Oregon and Washington Viper clubs. Watching Tommy Archer pull from last place to first place in about 20 laps really gave everyone something to cheer about, and made the race much more fun (IMHO) to watch than...

    Need to buy extended warranty 98 rt 7500m (just call DC?)nt

    I just bought a 7/75 from Bill Pemberton last week. He gave me a great price and was a pleasure to deal with - everything was handled over the phone in a few minutes, no fuss, no hassle.

    I need pictures of Vipers with the double deck wing if you have them.

    So, how functional are the wings, compared to an actual ORECA Viper? Are they partly functional and partly cosmetic compared to a true race wing? If you get a rear wing, should you also get a front splitter so that you don't pull wheelies everywhere you drive?

    Can anyone recommend a custom paint shop?

    I'm thinking about having a custom paint job done on my car, and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the best shop to do the work? Thanks, Andy

    A major scammer behind bars

    Some of you may remember my experience with Alex Astor, who took COD delivery of a stock set of wheels and then sent me a fake business check, then tried to disappear. Well, on the advice of the message board, I filed a police report - they were very familiar with him, if fact, they had . The...

    Heard about a Grifter in TN!

    Just as a reminder of another scammer - I won't mention his name, but it could possibly be ALEX ASTOR of HUNTERSVILLE, NC - this guy conned me out of a set of wheels with a bad COD check. Apparently he has done this A LOT with different merchandise for Vipers, Ferraris, and Prowlers. Don't buy...

    Hennessey vs. Supra???

    Well, I've read both forums, and I have to say that there are just too many people quoting specs at each other under the assumption that horsepower or a 1/4 mile time will determine the winner. Really what this is a contest of is how good your mods are. It seems to me that both of these cars...

    My son wants to drive the Viper to the Prom

    Personally, I like the idea of allowing him to make his entrance, drive to the prom, and then swap out cars for the drive home. I think this plan, along with some firm rules about cruising the car in for show and not showing off, would be enough for this sort of occasion. Just make it clear...

    facia

    I really doubt that a new fascia came from Chrysler already painted. When I replaced mine, it came unpainted (black). Make sure they didn't put a used fascia on there that might have been repainted aftermarket. It's the repair shop's responsibility to make sure that the stripes match -...

    WARNING..WHEELS SALE

    I was similarly scammed by ALEX ASTOR of HUNTERSVILLE, NC. After going through a great deal of effort to get the wheels to him, the COD check he returned didn't have even $100 of funds to cover it. Although these are two different guys, it highlights the importance of knowing who you're...

    Best HP for my Buck$$??

    Are you sure you need the extra horsepower? The extra grunt that you'll get from a horsepower boost would be nice in the 1/4 mile, but if you're looking to improve lap times, how about taking an advanced drivers course, or working on the suspension? IMHO, you will get used to and not notice...

    Ripped off by NC Scammer (long)

    I was holding off on making this post until I could be sure that this wasn't just a communication problem or other explainable issue. However... I had advertised a set of '98 wheels on the classifieds a while back, and got a nearly immediate response from several people. They sold nearly...

    Need help from a VCA Member in Charlotte, NC

    I recently sent a set of Viper wheels to a guy in Charlotte, North Carolina C.O.D. Unfortunately, the check I got in has no funds, the phone number is "temporarily" disconnected, and I can find no listing for the name on the business check. I'm hoping that some member in the Charlotte, NC area...
