    Bog between 1st and 2nd gear

    I have found the same thing. I think the car is faster according to the seat of my pants. (after WOT they are soiled)

    Hans Device? Feedback needed!

    I use the Hans after using the other type. Hans is so much more convenient to use and doesn't have all the issues the other type does, like whether you're wearing it a little differently than the last time you had it on. You just put it on and it's on correctly, each time (as long as you cinch...

    Insurance Mavin Wanted

    Bob, I have found Liberty Mutual to be a good source, especially if you have another car that you also insure. You put that on as your primary car and the Viper on as the secondary. I have two Vipers on my policy. Full coverage, including high liability limits on both and pay about $2500. You...

    My two week SRT10 vs GTS comparison.........

    I'm with the gas pedal complainers (1Tony1). It kills my leg after just a few minutes. The clutch feels like it is much further down than the gas. I'd like the gas to be as far away as the clutch is. If anyone knows if this can be changed, let me know.

    Should I buy a track car?

    I had a friend look at that car that is on EBay and he reports that it is in rough shape. It is a good price though. If someone is considering that car, I'd suggest that they check it out (or have it checked out) in person before bidding on it.

    Should I buy a track car?

    What jrkermode says is right on. The fact that you have sipped the purple kool aid is the problem. You'll now want to go faster and faster each event. To do that, you'll want to add more and more things to your car. Doing that, makes it less streetable to the point that you're now trying to...

    Help...My GTS was hit while parked...repair or replace hood?

    Rob, Don't believe an insurance company as the final word. They are just trying to save themselves money. I'd get 3 estimates, all with NEW hoods. If they balk at the middle estimate, tell them that you are going to take it to a lawyer and include damages for "diminished value" and also your...

    Easy change! and it sounds GREAT!

    I found that if you make the replacement piece EXACTLY the same length as the muffler you're replacing, then it is very difficult to stretch the pipes far enough apart to slip the replacement pipe in. That's why 1/4"-1/2" shorter seems to work better. After the pipe is slipped in, the overall...

    Vipers spotted in Dec. Car & Driver

    There is a discussion of why the Viper receives little or biased press in the SRT-10 thread.

    Why does "Road & Track" bash the Viper?

    Re: Why does BWright, You are WRONG. Bias is ANYTHING that creates a feeling or opinion which is different than the facts present. A magazine including a car which they casually mention that "it isn't street legal," and then including it in the graphs which represent the street legal cars...

    Problems with Woodhouse frame recall, Details inside.......

    (I hit send before I meant to). Bob paid me for bumping me in a race when other drivers NEVER do that. He painted another car of mine for the same cost as the original quote when the price of the job escalated because they couldn't do the process the way they had originally planned. If Bob...

    Problems with Woodhouse frame recall, Details inside.......

    I have not said a word on this thread up to this point...BUT...Guys, you are killing this. This is ONE comment about a guy who everybody else thinks is great. All of my experiences with Woodhouse have also been nothing but honest, upfront and great....car dealer or no car dealer. BOB WOODHOUSE...

    Why does "Road & Track" bash the Viper?

    Re: Why does BWright...you have not heard from me because I discount everything you say and am not interested in verbal masturbation with you (which you so enjoy). Clearly, you don't own a Viper as twice you never answered my direct question about that. We've all heard you manipulate questions...

    Why does "Road & Track" bash the Viper?

    Re: Why does Come to think of it...simply answer this question Mr. Right: Was the Mosler used in the test, street legal or not? Had it been certified to run on the street and can you (or someone)actually buy one and register it? You seemed to gloss over those facts. So...the only car that...

    Anyone put a PMUM sticker on their car at Viperdays?

    All the Challenge Series cars had one sticker and all the VRL cars had another sticker. During the pace laps at the start of both Sat. and Sun. races, we left an open hole at the pole position for Paul.

    Why does "Road & Track" bash the Viper?

    Re: Why does I have to jump in one more time here BWright. MT did not say that the Mosler was an all out race car, but rather a car that was ABOUT TO BE CERTIFIED to be street legal. There is no doubt that they slipped in this ringer to beat the SRT in some category. It had racing style gears...

    Why does "Road & Track" bash the Viper?

    Re: Why does BWright, Some of what you have said is true and other aspects I disagree with . Firstly, how is my Jaguar? You mean the 1963 Series I XK-E Coupe? It's terrific, thank you. I think that it's the paragon of design during the early 60's. I love to show it off. Thanks for asking...

    Why does "Road & Track" bash the Viper?

    Re: Why does BWright, You have taken the GENERAL complaint and turned it into a group of small points which can be debated from magazine to magazine or article to article. The overview is that while reporting the FACTS, "Road & Track" writes subjective articles and presents them as if...
