    Video of Me vs Stroked C5 Vert!!!

    In that 2nd run, if you look through Moundir's windows - it looks like a Z28 was trying to keep pace for a second. Not sure. The C5 sounds NICE from inside the cockpit there.

    Spinning Out.......

    Sounds like a good plan with the beer! We have a Skip Barber school out here at Lime Rock and they apparently give a 25% reduction in cost to VCA members. How cool is that? But to go through all the different schools and classes is still an expensive proposition. Track events DO interest me...

    Spinning Out.......

    This is SOOOOO much spam bait. Gavin, you don't know me from Peter and likewise in return. Nowhere have I said "that [I] drive [my] car at the limit on the street, on [my] own, self selected, race course that is also a public road." When I speak of limits, I refer to my own as well as the car's...

    Spinning Out.......

    I am just concerned with how the car handles under regular conditions. I am used to spinning from driving the RS when it had the BIG cam, lower stall, and non-computer controlled 700r4. Always a kitten to drive under the stall rpm, but sometimes the tranny would downshift and if you were on a...

    Spinning Out.......

    Gavin, YEARS of careful preparation. No cars, no intersections, no pedestrians. Just you, the car, and....... #@*%, a deer! The only person's safety that I risk is my own, and I like to limit that risk as much as possible. On the occasions when I've intended to "open her up," whether it has...

    Spinning Out.......

    Probably because I speed and never crashed :shocked: Seriously, one buddy is a hard core drag racer and another is on my level as far as driving. The difference is that although we can and have both pushed our cars to the limits, he takes chances while I plan ahead and play it safe. I will...

    Spinning Out.......

    There have been some recent posts concerning the number of Vipers that have been wrecked and/or those that have spun out. The general rule I pick up is that there are Viper owners that have spun and Viper owners that have yet to do the dose-do. I'm going on several interviews this week and next...

    Custom Made Aluminun Pedals

    They look a little <font color="pink">gay </font> to me. ;) But that's my opinion. One company that has always done some great design work (though mostly for GM cars) is Mallory Billet Aluminum (MBA). Jon LeBlanc is a good guy and a car junky. I've been to the shop and seen their work - it...

    New Board is now OPEN! Some changes still to be made..

    Can you do me 2 favors? 1 - make it so I can hit CTRL + Mouse Wheel to change sizes so I can READ it? 2 - set it so posts I've read turn grey and don't all stay the same color. I went blind trying to read this stuff, and I have 20/20 and a 17" screen. Otherwise, looks great so far!

    Those who are selling - - how's the market?

    Re: Those who are selling - - how\'s the market? Will do. I've corresponded with him before via PM on this site. When I get my house of cards in order again, I will be reaching out to everyone and their brother to find what I'm looking for.

    Those who are selling - - how's the market?

    Re: Those who are selling - - how\'s the market? I'm game. If I was going to get a 97-98, I'd be doing it this year. Red looks awesome on these cars, as does the blue/white. But it was Dave's Deep Sapphire Blue with silver stripes '01 GTS that threw my plan for a loop. Its blue during the...

    Hennessy selling on Ebay!

    I'm more surprised that with some of the larger rip-offs he has pulled, that someone a little more serious than most of us hasn't shot the guy. I know people who will beat the heck out of a person for a few words. I think its a matter of time. You steal peoples' money? Anyone would be pissed...

    Those who are selling - - how's the market?

    Re: Those who are selling - - how\'s the market? I know exactly what I want, and I have to blame Bird on getting me hooked. Before I saw his car, I had never seen the Sapphire Blue on a Viper. The funny thing is that I have a 2001 Viper brochure from when I was shopping and ended up with the...

    Those who are selling - - how's the market?

    Those who are selling - - how\'s the market? I know its a sad prospect (except for those trading up to SRT-10s) but there are a lot of Vipers out there for sale right now. I was originally looking to get into a 97 or 98 GTS, but having seen a Sapphire '01 I will probably be waiting another year...

    Another driving school question

    And let me just chime in here... I've never "officially" (cough cough) been out on Lime Rock. ESPECIALLY not at night in the passenger seat of a friend's Corvette with dealer plates by sneaking down a maintenance road through dirt/grass. And I was never let down by the fact that after all that...

    Car just quits, please help

    That sounds like it has merit. I wish I could give more direct advice like that. I guess I'll have to buy a Viper this year so I can tool on it myself!

    Car just quits, please help

    Battery sounds good. What your dealer said about the cam position sensor makes a lot of sense and could fit the scenario - but the lack of any engine codes being thrown negated that possibility before the dealer replaced it. Other sensors like IAT are probably ok as well or they would throw a...

    Yes, I noticed. +10mm is a change, but has anyone fit larger without rubbing?

    Plus Size rims/tires

    Those Startechs are sharp. And the Purners look good, too. So I can fit a 335 in the front on an 18" x 12.5" rim - what is the correct backspacing for the front rims? And am I correct in assuming then that 335 is the largest possible for the rear? I can't think of any street tires off the top...

    Warning Possible Scam!!!

    Way to go. Sick the dogs of justice on him. Today its dangerous to be the buyer AND the seller. I'm about to start advertising my C5 next week once I get the chance to detail it (been sitting in the garage all winter) and take a slew of pictures. I'm generally on the ball, but it makes me...

    Plus Size rims/tires

    The stock 275s and 335s are HUGE slabs of meat, but I was wondering if people have gone bigger? I'm curious because I'm looking at different GTSs with factory rims and think that any potential Viper I buy will eventually get a nice set of BBS rims like the ACR - or perhaps some HREs. Has...
