    Odd Tach & Speedo Issue?

    WTF? Your car was keyed? Angry ex, or just some jealous ***hole? I hate that!

    Please, stop bashing the gen v

    I love all Vipers. When I got home last night my wife came out to greet me to tell me the neighbours young boy (3 years old) was outside and his mom and he were talking cars (that's what all boys should be doing). My wife, who drives a Misano red Audi S4, asked him what his favorite car was. She...

    Excessive Oil Consumption?

    I have a Gen IV just rebuilt at Arrow (just to upgrade to forged internals) and it had similar consumption until my last track weekend. Now it appears to no longer consume. Took a few hard sessions to seat the rings I guess.

    Track Day Brakes for Beginner

    Good info here about wear on pads and heat!!! Thanks. I was at track two weekends ago (3rd weekend) and going again mid-October. So I will have pads replaced if necessary. Never thought of that. Oh yeah, OP, the stock pads are plenty good at novice level IMHO. I did boil clutch fluid last time...

    Lights after hard acceleration

    It's incredibly good. Power is up considerably ( I'm guessing around 600 at the wheels). Sound is loud and I love it. Not a problem with cam sensor since. Do have one thing I have yet to understand. The car was using oil after it came back from Arrow. Two quarts in less than 1500 miles. Filled...

    Looks like the next Vette Hi Po Z07? Will have a twin Turbo?

    My instructor at TWS last weekend is a Corvette guy (C5 Z06). He loved my Viper. Couldn't speak enough good about it. He begged me to drive it, and so we took it out in the white run group. It took him two laps to get the feel and nothing except a GT3 RS with slicks was matching it.

    Kudos to SRT at COTA ALMS race.

    Echo what has been said here. Thanks SRT!

    Ran my viper out of gas

    Well it certainly looked like Gen IV ACR on video, but right after he fills up he says he put 17.8 gallons in it. Does the ACR hold more than the coupe?

    Ran my viper out of gas

    Nice video, and awesome car!! You said you put 17.8 gallons in. Is this a Gen 3 with Gen IV hood? My Gen IV only holds 16 gallons. I was coming back from ALMS/WEC races at COTA yesterday and light came on and I figured I had enough to get home (and yes, the last 1/4 goes fast, seemed to sit on...

    race weekend September 19,20,21,22 in Austin

    Haha. Yeah I have to agree. After experiencing 155 down front straight at TWS parade laps are boring. But sure would like to run at COTA someday.

    Suggestions on smoothing out ride on a 2008 ACR

    Anyone else find this super annoying?

    Gen IV the Mopar PCM eliminates skip shift. They'll probably offer one for Gen V soon.

    Why are Vipers not participating in Parade laps?

    2008-09 ACR top speed

    I ran against a Porsche 911 Turbo S today.

    I ran this weekend at TWS. There were two 911 Turbo Ss. I past them on the front straight, perhaps they just didn't want to go that fast, but I doubt it? After that, every time I came up behind they just waved me by. My car is not purely stock, but should be close to the 2013.

    Not happy today, just got beat, twice !

    I spent the weekend at TWS at a PCA (Porsche Club) event. My instructor was a vette guy (C4 Z06). He loved my car! I can't tell you how many times he said it was incredible. He finally begged me to allow him to drive it, so he took me out in his run group. He sure drove it like it was intended...

    Encounter with a "Tree-Hugger"...Has this ever happened to you?

    I had a lady roll down her window at a red light and yell at me about global warming and why did I need to drive that car? I promptly asked her why she wasn't riding a bicycle. Then I left the pleasant aroma of melting rubber as I departed.

    Clutch pedal on floor

    Tony, I do have headers. And the car had just done two run sessions in a row (my instructor practically begged me to drive it in, so we went out before my run group, and he drove it hard). So, yes, I can see it being heat related. I will look into heat wrapping the clutch line. I will be...

    Clutch pedal on floor

    I had just finished cool down lap and was cruising in 3rd into hotpit lane. When I went to shift down to 2nd the clutch pedal went to the floor and would not come back up. I coasted to the parking area and by the time I stopped the pedal was starting to respond. A few minutes later it was...

    Porsche 918 Spyder breaks Ring record

    Is that what the 2005 Commemorative Edition is then? How about the 1996 GTS Track Toy? Pfft!

    Reached the tipping point: the stock 2013 exhaust interior dB level is unacceptable

    Re: Reached the tipping point: the stock 2013 exhaust interior dB level is unacceptab My Gen IV with Belanger headers/exhaust has a nasty drone, but I seem to have gotten used to it (headaches at first), plus I almost always drive with the windows down (and that does reduce it a lot). And it...
