    EBC Reds Squeal Like a Pig..Is it normal?

    On my Gen II, OEM pads squealed and dusted like crazy. Put the "new" EBC reds on, without resurfacing the rotors. Quiet and probably 75% less dust. 1,500 miles later, still quiet and very low dust. Needless to say, I'm VERY happy with this upgrade. :) :usa::usa::usa::usa:

    IN/KY VCA...Dyno Day/Mtg/Cruise-In...9/13/08...

    Too bad these events aren't closer to Columbus, I'd be there for sure. Sounds like fun!! Be sure to post some pix next week.

    car lift for my garage?

    Do any of you guys have trouble pulling the car between the posts? The garage bay where I park my car has a 9' wide door. The actually opening is slightly less than that. As wide as the Viper is, every time I back it in I feel like I'm rather close to each side. I believe the distance between...

    Ride Makerz Viper model

    Sounds like a conversation I might get into, but no, wasn't me. Just some other obsessed Viper toy collector. Like me :D. I ended up with well over $100 wrapped up in these two "free" cars. One thing that is nice about them, if you upgrade to RC, each car comes with three different frequencies...

    More Viper bad news

    At one of the tech talks at VOI with the engineers who developed the latest engine, the issue of budget kept coming up. I asked how much did the current engine cost to develop. Engineer said the budget was $5mm and they actually spent $6.5mm. This is before EPA testing, etc. If they spent...

    Ride Makerz Viper model

    Here are few of pix of the "free" Ride Makerz cars they gave away at VOI. By the time we upgraded to RC, added a battery pack, custom wheels, side pipes, engine, sound, etc. it was pretty far from free. Still fun though. The green car was designed by my 13 yr old son, the red one is mine. :D

    Hi Kevan, Unfortunately, I won't be there. I'm heading over to Bob McDorman's, dare I say on this board, Vette show. Mecum will be there running an auction at noon. Not often you get a decent collector car auction in Columbus so I'm going to check it out. You're lowering your truck?

    Pictures - VOI 10

    It looks like my wife and I spent exactly the average at CAAP. $100 for the both of us. The guy in front of us rang out at $600+. Now THAT is what Jon is talking about!! Thank you Jon B and PartRack for all that you do and for the cool Viper do-dads you were handing out at the drag strip. When...

    Thinking about new rear gears?

    I went with 3.33's. Kind of a compromise between stock and the common 3.55's. I'm running stock size Gen II 18" tires. Just back from lots of highway miles to and from VOI. At 65 mph in sixth gear I was running about 1,400 rpm. At 70 mph about 1,700 rpms. Most guys can't use sixth with stock...

    Anyone Have a VOI 10 Poster They Want to Sell?

    I've been on the phone with them and will be ordering two cars tonight with my son. My wife was gracious enough to give him her car. :) Basically, the core car is free ($29). All the rest of the customization, including radio control is on your dime. With RC, charger, cool wheels and a few...

    Guys that didnt get Chairs....

    An announcement was made at VOI that everyone would be getting an email to purchase leftover stuff including banners, table center pieces, etc. Not sure if that email will go out to all VCA members or just those who attended. I'll be sure to post a notice here, after I place my order. :D

    Pictures - VOI 10

    Here are the only other pix I have of the very Comp Coupe looking non-Comp Coupe. This car was very much in show condition and not in the condition of most true Comp Coupes (ie. Rather worn from heavy track use). It was beautiful. The girl driving it was one of the ones working the VOI. She...

    $180,000 Gen 5 Viper

    My observations on this issue: 1. The current Viper price point is truly at the sweet spot for this type of car. The $50k SUV buyer could potentially "stretch" and buy a $86k car. The $200k exotic buyer could by two Vipers. One for the street and one for the track for the same $$. Just like...

    No Cameras?

    Final mailing info says no cameras at Chelsea Proving Grounds. Are they gong to enforce that? Not that I feel the need to take a spy photo for Autoweek or something but a few pix of my car at this venue would have been cool. Really? None? :( :usa::usa::usa::usa:

    Do we need Helmets for VOI # 10

    I was all set to order from the link I posted above. Since they are in PA, figured I'd support another state in my region. Went to order and their website wouldn't go to checkout. No one on the phones on Saturday either. So, ordered from Helmet City. 2 Days free FedEX right to my door...
