    Right. Craig's Kia attained 201 mph when he loaded it onto an airplane to transport it! ROFL

    Results of Viper vs. Vette autocross!

    WOW, that is quite a list of problems. My wife had an 00 C5 convertible and I had an 01 Z06 and we experienced nothing like that. The Viper is still a better car, for the reasons you stated, though.

    Linh and I are totally stock. We will have to ask Ryan what his mods are. And of course there is Tony ...

    Results of Viper vs. Vette autocross!

    I don't think ALL of the Z06's were first timers, and even some of the "first timers" were experienced road racers. If we want to go down that road, though, this was Ryan's second autocross (I think) and Linh's third in the Viper (Probably 6th or 7th autocross ever). Myself, I am not a...

    Results of Viper vs. Vette autocross!

    Yes, all C5's are in Super Stock with all non-ACR Vipers. The ACR's, I think, are in the ASP class, which would give them a PAX penalty vs. a stock Z06. At this event, however, all of the Corvettes were thrown into a modified category because of mods like intake & headers.

    Results of Viper vs. Vette autocross!

    Today (3/16) four Vipers and six Z06 Corvettes met in battle at the Middle Georgia region SCCA autocross. Participating from Viper Forum were me, Ryan, Tony and Linh (Achilles99). All of the Z06's had modifications (intake and exhaust, mostly). Everyone was on street tires except Tony. On the...

    Georgia Autocross: March 16

    Leave it to Ryan to pick a meeting spot that no one can get to. Then he will go to the event by himself and claim that everyone else was too scared to come! :rolleyes:

    Georgia Autocross: March 16

    That's good news, Tony, it will be good to see you. I just checked the weather and it seems to say no rain for Sunday.

    Georgia Autocross: March 16

    OK, there was some discussion about this a week ago, but I just checked the weather and it's supposed to be sunny and low 70's for the autocross. Everybody who wants to come, reply to this thread and then we will decide on a meeting point to go down there together. We will need to leave at...

    Viper vs. Cobra vs. Corvette Review

    I don't get upset about articles like this, but there is one thing that really annoys me. Magazines perpetually say that the Viper is totally unsuited to daily driving, gets too hot, and rides too rough. I drive mine every day on city streets and I think it is perfectly fine. The ride is not...

    Sorry about the Sebring cancellation, but I am glad you're coming to the autocross.

    Atlanta autocross 3/8/03

    Tony, I don't know what class you would be in -- I'd advise emailing the Solo II chair for whatever region you will be participating in to find out. I am absolutely sure you could not be in SS. Responding to Linh's description of the history of Vipers in SS, I am not an expert, but I think that...

    Atlanta autocross 3/8/03

    I am up for it on the 16th! I had a great time at the Birmingham event yesterday and having more Vipers there will be awesome for the 16th. Ryan -- bring your Pilot Sports to keep it fair! As far as this weekend at Turner Field goes, I won't be going. I am just so sick of the long waits and...

    Chattanooga Tn. autocross 3/2/03

    AS an alternative, I am thinking of going to an SCCA autocross in Birmingham this weekend (www.alscca.org).

    Georgia VCA Feb. Events all regions welcome

    Pete, This sounds awesome, I would love to do the track events and mountain drives. Thank you for undertaking the task of putting some of this stuff together. A mountain cruise with the Ferrari and Z06 clubs would be very cool!

    Report: Wheel Wizard

    My wheels are the stock polished aluminum ones, so no chrome. However, I believe the DO re-plate chrome wheels, but it costs more. Their web site is www.wheelwizard.com and their phone number is 770-451-6333.

    Report: Wheel Wizard

    Well, I had a wheel-scraping incident last week (caused by some nimrod SUV driver who thought that s/he could drive in BOTH lanes at the same time). My right rear wheel was REALLY scraped up completely around the outer lip right next to the tire, although thankfully there was no bending and no...

    ROAD ATLANTA TRACK DAY FEB22-23 HURRY

    Yep, I joined the PCA a week ago solely to get a spot in the Barber event!

    ROAD ATLANTA TRACK DAY FEB22-23 HURRY

    I'm not ready for the track for my Viper yet either. I need to autocross it a few more times before I feel comfortable taking it out on the track (which is what I did with the Z06). I am going to sign up for a Porsche Club DE at the new track in Alabama in April (but driving the Viper), and...

    Viper Wreck at PIR

    Downshifting -- even in a straight line -- when your engine revs are not matched to the speed of the car can seriously destabilize the car. My first time at Road Atlanta (which was in my Z06), I was in the braking zone for turn 1, decelerating from probably 100-110 to about 65 (I was driving...

    Reminder: Watch Vipers race in FIA GT this weekend!

    If you like Viper racing, remember that Speedvision is beginning its recap of the 2002 FIA GT series this weekend (Saturday, noon ET). This is a series in which there are lots of Viper teams that don't usually race in the U.S., although some appear at Sebring. Hopefully, Speedvision will run...

    Is anyone going to Sebring 03?

    I am kind of mulling over going down to Sebring for the 03 12-hour race, and wondered if anyone from here would be going, or would be interested in driving down together. From reading the archives, it looks like there was a VCA gathering there last year -- how was that? May be a little early...

    Viper Racing on Speed channel Right Now

    I thought it was cool that, although there were 3 Vipers and umpteen Corvettes in the race, the Vipers got about half the air time! If you guys did not watch this race (the T1 SCCA race at Mid-Ohio), you should when Speedvision re-airs it. It was a really entertaining race, especially by...
