    Now that I have read further, Mark do you have all this stuff and do you recommend installing it?

    Brake pads Gen IV

    I have used every brake pad mentioned above on the track and street. I don't like to change and want something good for both. I LOVE PFCs for the Viper on the track, very linear, predictable braking, on the street they dust a lot but not too much noise. I have pagid on my Spec Boxter that is...

    New VOI 11 Viper information

    They should make the VOI 11 car the new race ready ACR in Toxic Orange. That would be awesome, sign me up for 100 tickets now! Actually, I would love the Laguna Seca record setter just as much, race ready of course.

    Dedicated track version ACR on the way!

    If they do this, it should come as a race ready vehicle to avoid any additional expense to the racer/purchaser since the car is over $100 grand already. I would love to buy one to race in a NARRA style venue. Part of the ACR problem for racing now is the additional cost to convert the car to...

    Laguna Seca Video

    Thanks so much for the post and video link! I wish I was that fast in mine! Maybe someday.....but in the meantime it sure is fun trying to get there! Don't snooze on all the '09s sitting around with 0% financing, I would buy another one in a heartbeat if I could! Graphite/black is my...

    First Drive 09 Ssg Acr

    Driving the Sport Cups on the street between track events makes them last longer too. The hard cornering wears the outside edge first on the track while street driving wears out the middle of the tread. As the cups get older it takes longer for them to heat up on the track but starting out...

    Stripes paint or vinyl ?

    Blair Hartsfield is our local track photog, and car accessorizer and he installed the product for me. He is very good. His email is [email protected] or I can search around in my car stuff and try to find the mfgs info for you, maybe. I'm not sure if I have anything much left since...

    Another Famous Actor, Past Viper Owner

    $60,000 is what a new red coupe cost in 1996 'cause I bought one for that too. I drove it for 6 years, put 60,000 miles on it and sold it for $54,000.

    Stripes paint or vinyl ?

    There is a company that makes really thin vinyl sticky back material that is painted just like the car. 2 coats primer, 2 coats paint, 2 coats clear coat. It looks just like paint and you cannot tell the difference. Plus it waxes, clay bars, etc. just like your paint. Doesn't chip like vinyl...

    First Drive 09 Ssg Acr

    I drive sport cups on my '09 ACR on the street, R 6s on the track and since it's the only street car I own, I drive it regardless of the weather. Part of the problem with the unwarranted bad reputation Vipers have for wrecks and being squirrely is lack of experience driving the car. If you...

    Finally got to really drive my GTS Blue ACR

    Very nice review. My take on the GTS vs the ACR is the GTS feels like a race car on the street but doesn't deliver when you take it to the track, for lots of reasons. The GTS needs more motor, pushes like a pig in the corners, acceleration out of the corners is terrible due to rear wheel/rear...

    2 Questions

    Never mind the previous stupid question, 4th into 5th gear works the same as all the other sweet spot shift points and you need to shift into 5th at 118 to max engine output.

    2 Questions

    Thank you Gr8 ASP for the graphs and the explanation. Very good stuff! I really like the second graph where it shows exactly where the shift point would be in each gear for max output. Very useful info at the track! Lots of racers shift into 5th on some of the straights, but from your graph...

    First taste of SNAKE BITE

    Mark, you said over steer but the car was pushing. Was that just a semantic error?

    What tires/wheels to run on ACR

    I just drive my old sport cup take offs on the street and use the new cups or R6s at the track, I've had two ACRs so I already had another set of OEM ACR wheels. The cups aren't great in the rain but are no problem even in a downpour and cold at 60mph or below. Get above 60 and it's a very...

    Is getting a Viper for me a really good idea?

    The fact that you are aware the new Viper will have a steep learning curve for you is a plus. The car has certain tendencies that you will learn as you drive the car. As long as you don't push the envelope you'll be fine. The Viper is very tame and docile when driven in a normal manner. The...

    Hey Chuck! the '09s have TC..yes it's true.

    Yeah and that was my point, it's the driver not the car or the nannies that make the difference.

    Hey Chuck! the '09s have TC..yes it's true.

    First I am a Viper lover to the core, it will always be my car. But I have recently learned what other track rat lovers have been trying to teach me for two years. Nobody in their right mind tears up a brand new $100,000 plus car racing unless you have sponsors, etc. paying the bill. In real...

    Lap Time - I'm So Freak'n Happy

    Congrats on a job well done! Where do you have your compression and rebound set front and rear? What is the length of the track and how many turns? What brake pads are you using? For us track rats trying to get faster!

    Car Cover

    Jon, how about an "09 ACR cover? The Spec Boxter race car without coolant has to live in the garage when it's freezing outside so the motor doesn't freeze up. Thus the ACR will have to stay in the port-a-chere once in awhile this winter. But, I'm not putting him out there without a cover...

    Viper Drivers in 2009 SCCA runoffs

    What SCCA class is that? Those guys have to be great drivers. It's super that the Viper is out there being so well represented in SCCA. Maybe then Viper will make the best drivers car list again.
