    Gallardo vs. Ford GT

    I was following a Gallardo today. Love the rear end but the front and side profile is a little bit generic. I go nutso for FGT.

    Got cussed out in the viper today lol

    My first thought on this was that the guy who cussed you out could have easily been an off duty cop that was having a bad day. Blocking your vehicle is a cop tactic to prevent you from fleeing or jumping out. And his comment has been used before by cops when I was young - "Do you think your...

    So we're out last night minding our own business and .....

    :lmao::rolaugh::eater::lmao: come on guys, you gotta admit. Lundqvist's comment is hilarious. On the other hand - now I know why us mere "enthusiasts" get no respect on this site. ;):omg::lmao:

    They totaled my Viper today

    RTTTTed - Don't forget that the mechanic who showed up on the scene mentioned it hopping a curb. If it was at a good clip then the rims could be injured, possibly other drivetrain issues, suspension worries, and maybe even the frame. Who knows. I would not feel comfortable taking this car...

    They totaled my Viper today

    I have nightmares about this kinda thing. I feel your pain. I have had a young kid take out one of my cars that was in for service. (It didn't get totalled) It was there for an oil change - not a test drive! Unfortunately, as said above, young co-op students or mechanics just can't wait to...

    THE LAST VIPER

    Personally - I don't mind the colour choice for the last IV Viper. It reminds me more of a snake than "Snakeskin" green. I think it could grow on you. Maybe in 5 years from now we will say thats the coolest colour ever on a viper. It will stand out in a sea of other Vipers at a convention or...

    Rain Kills Engine

    first thing - check your oil. Don't run the engine if you think water entered the intake. I would prob. change the oil just to be safe.

    1 Viper = 2 wrecks

    I was just thinking that. Sometimes, because I live in a rural area, a vehicle ahead of me on the highway is so busy looking at me in his rearview mirrors that they weave back and forth like a drunk driver - and many of times have drifted over to the shoulder spewing rock and gravel up onto...

    Building new garage - Need advice

    I am a contractor and have worked with concrete quite a bit, so here is my 2 cents regarding the floor of your shop. FYI - CONCRETE Aaron brings up a critical point - you must have steel in your concrete floor. Rolls of Wire grid laid out AND 1/2 inch re-bar laid out every couple of feet...

    selling my '99 gts for $29k

    As I digress from goofing off in the above posts - I am optimistically agreeing with you SDaddy. As much as it is dismaying to see the end of production of the Viper - it could be the catalyst which brings the value up on the existing ones.

    selling my '99 gts for $29k

    Actually Roffle, my little parable, extreme and satirical as it is, is genuinely on topic of this thread. It explains, in an indirect manner, why your Viper is listing for such a ridiculously low price, and yet still has not sold. ;)

    selling my '99 gts for $29k

    It burns my butt to see Vipers selling for low numbers - as I'm sure it does with most other readers here. However, in the last couple of years, I have had a nagging suspicion that we are coming into phase a re-currence of what happened to the mighty muscle and torque heydays of the late '60s...

    Any new info on the 2012 Gen V snake?

    If that concept is, in fact, the future reality - I will be in line to buy one pronto.

    OK enough of the Vette mistakes

    My girlfriend saw a Viper once and thought it was a Ferrari. My theory would be that - 1st - if a Viper is solid red sans stripes it could be interpreted as a Ferrari, especially if it was driving by fast and had aftermarket exhaust -as the V10 does not sound like a V8 but more like a Euro...

    Cat Delete vs. Hi-Flow Cats?

    I don't know for the U.S. and its different states, but here in Ontario they have random (rare, however) roadside spot checks conducted by the MTO and ministry of Environment. Inspectors will comb over your engine and undercarriage, and may also conduct a "sniff" test by a computer to verify...

    Cat Delete vs. Hi-Flow Cats?

    Has anyone noticed if their chrome bezel around the gear shifter on the center console gets hot? Thats where my forearm sits while my hand is on the shifter. I recently got new exhaust and catalytics - and I don't remember the center console getting so hot - so I'm thinking there is an exhaust...

    We Didn't Make the List... But Guess Who Did ? Most Annoying Car Owners...

    Here in south Ontario - its seems the most annoying drivers, honestly, I can say, are the soccer moms rushing around trying to get errands done. They should all get tickets for their driving habits - except they just blend into the crowd too well and aren't on the "radar" of the police - no pun...

    what size ccw 600 wheels to suit 97 gts ????

    I never thought I liked solid red either 'till seeing the photo. Zoinks! I also now regret buying a third gen. The second gens look killer.
