Re: It\'s official: 2003 Viper Competition Coupe!
Yes you are correct. This car is aimed to compete against the GT cars like the GT-3, BMW, and Callaway Corvette that is produced today for the ALMS and the FIA. What it will actually race against is dependant on what the other manufacturers...
Steve, thanks for posting some of the details from the early proposal but, you really never mentioned the important role you played in this entire process. Without your dream of getting it down on paper and in model form in front of Bob Lutz, this would have just been an idea (dream).
Yes...
I think it only fitting that Steve received the first place trophy in Unlimited class after his driver (Seth Palatnik) crushed the competition this weekend. I found it amusing yesterday when Steve returned from dropping off Bernie, and Seth asked if he could take out the car. He then asked if...
Congrats to the entire SVSi team. I know it took the time of everyone at the shop to get this done. Now maybe Sr. will answer the phone message I left for him last week wishing him luck on the excellant adventure out west.
Re: It\'s official: 2003 Viper Competition Coupe!
Wow! Joe where did you get all the details from? Is this from a press kit? More stuff than I would have suspected for the price quoted.
Dmora brings up an excellant point. I am already trying to figure out how I would ever get this thing into the garage as loading and unloading would mean getting past a curb cut with a steep depressed curb. Street use, railroad tracks, road imperfections will tear up the front end. Another...
JMcguire, This is a project that has been in the works for over 5 years. One of the biggest stumeling blocks was to find a way so that a pure-bread race car wouldn't find it's way onto city streets. This car was never intended for street use and I am sure there will be much paperwork which...
Re: It\'s official: 2003 Viper Competition Coupe!
Frank I can't comment on how you go about ordering one yet because there are no details as of yet. You should talk to John Gastman at Roanoke Motors or Bob Woodhouse since they are your higher volume Viper dealers. Both of them also participate...
Re: It\'s official: 2003 Viper Competition Coupe!
Jay, I am sure that Steve also appreciates the mention you made earlier. Both of us just returned from Viper-Ferrari War 6 in South Haven, MI which took place this past weekend. We appreciate the photo's that have been posted as I know both of...
Hopefully this year everyone takes full advantage of the track time on Sunday. I hate to see the place cleared out so early. It's paid for untill 5:00 p.m.
Hopefully there are many Viper owners in central and southern Cal. who are planning to go to the event this year. Take along your digital cameras and be prepared to post some cool pictures. A big event takes place somewhere between 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. PCT. Should be well worth the trip...
Last message from me on the event as the trailer is loaded and the countdown is on to my departure. Just want to let everyone know that spectators are welcome. We will be having a group photo take place on Saturday at noon so if you are in the area with your Viper make a point of stopping out.
Seth sorry that you are taking this abuse. What do you mean your staying home? Remember that BIG trophy is coming off my mantle this week and it goes to another deserving ( more than I?) driver. Could it be you? We will see.
Regarding the special test session it is for Viper war...
Yes it's that time of the year again. We are only 10 days away from the longest running VCA Regional road racing event. This year we have dropped the Ferrari label because we are trying to open it up to a wider range of high performance cars. Just as we do that, along come a couple of...
Y2KGTS, Regarding the polo I don't know if there are any left and what sizes may be on hand. I would call Viper headquarters to see if there are any over-runs. The cool little die struck pewter looking lapel pin is available so you can get one of those if you beg enough and come up with the...
Torque Junkie, I know that in the Northeast they tried to provide a spuce package which didn't include the driving portion, a spectator package and even a one day package. It was a logistics nightmare so we didn't want to make the same mistake. Sure there were people who may have wanted to go...
Bob, it seems like you had wished that we could make the event more cost effective. I assure you that everyeffort was made to make this the least expensive event of all the Rendezvous acroos the country. Just to let you know we tied for least expensive with the northeast event at $250. The...
Rebel, I think you need to look at what you put a deposit down on. First of all I don't know who took the deposit but there has been no information released for dealers to take orders on a 2003. If you thought that this Viper was a race car than you must be talking about a differant Viper (real...
Too bad the new owners of Flukey's in Niles kicked the cruisers out a few years ago. I bet they hardly get 25 customers on a Friday evening now. I bet we could organize something at Super Dog at Devon and Milwaukee Ave. on Chicago's NW side. Although it is kind of a busy and confusing...
"Frankly Yours" on Algonquin? Don't they have a killer driveway onto the side street? You can probably scrape the bumper of a Dodge Ram 4x4 on it, let alone a Viper. That parking lot can't hold too many cars.
Well it sounds like there are some happy participants from this past weekends event. Now I need you to go back and tell the membership in your local VCA Regional Chapter the exciting time they missed. I then would like for you to tell you local president (if he didn't attend) that the VCA must...
