    Call me ChrisGTS from now on!!!

    Thanks everyone! I am very excited and love driving it. Diablo -- I can't do anything about Red5, he will have to find his own way. After the pictures you posted on Off Topic, maybe he will be more convinced, but we'll see... Marty -- you have mail. I'd love to get together for a cruise...

    Call me ChrisGTS from now on!!!

    I am extremely pleased to report that the 01 Z06 is GONE, replaced as of Saturday with my brand spankin' new red 02 GTS. Thanks to Buhler Dodge for a great deal and professional service. And thanks to all of the VCA folks who helped me make my decision, both in Atlanta and elsewhere. wooohooo...

    Break-in: RPM vs MPH

    Tony, I've got a Viper located and a buyer for the Z06 and we are moving toward finalizing both deals from the financial side. I am pretty sure it will all work out, and I'll post something once the deal is final. ETA for the snake is 9/21, with me traveling a long way to get it! I didn't want...

    Break-in: RPM vs MPH

    Hey everyone, here it is, yet another break in question. I've read lots of posts about the break-in procedure, but wondered how important is the recommended top speed (70mph) versus the commandments about engine RPMs. I am likely going to be driving a new Viper about 850 miles and 70mph is...

    Road Atlanta Vipers Vs Z06 Vettes

    5 seconds a lap? Worthy? That sounds like an awfully big gap! I'm surprised you could still even see him in your mirrors after a lap! At Road Atlanta track days the overtaking is a little more difficult because they only allow passing on designated straight spots -- no passing in turns...

    Road Atlanta Vipers Vs Z06 Vettes

    Ditto to what Pete said. I came out to the track to take a couple of Viper owners up on a generous offer for a ride, so I could satisfy myself that a Viper WILL be my next car. I wasn't disappointed and the rides were great. However, in the interest of total disclosure, there was at least...

    ORECA doing Great, Le Mans 2002

    Although I watch these practice times with a lot of interest, I also take them with a grain of salt. That far in advance of the race, you have no idea what kind of setups the teams are running in terms of aero/fuel load/tire compound, and in fact they may just be trying out different things...

    Vanity Plate Suggestions

    My personal favorite is my own license plate, guaranteed to piss off every SUV-driving person on the road: "WHY SUV" Good luck on choosing -- this is an important decision!

    Anyone going to Road Atlanta Track Days June 1?

    I heard a rumor that a bunch of Vipers were going to show up at the June 1-2 track day event at Road Atlanta. I'm planning on going on August 10, but if there were going to be some Vipers there on June 1, I would love to come and take a look at my Z06 replacement! Is anyone going?

    The ULTIMATE posers (track pics)

    I have hit my turn signals and wipers on several occasions autocrossing, and I always get very embarrassed, esp. if someone was in the car with me. Worse still is when I go to launch into the autocross and I have left my traction control on ... Always good for a laugh! 2tall, your times look...

    The Viper gets one step closer ...

    You guys are merciless! Unfortunately, I HAVE to wait! But tell me about this Viper Invitational ...

    The Viper gets one step closer ...

    Well, I was thinking that I'd be waiting 2 more years for the Viper -- which is when my Z06 lease runs out. The other consideration was that it was my wife's turn for a new car first, and we had planned to get hers late next year. Well, to help nudge the process along, we went out yesterday and...

    Hey everyone!

    I didn't realize you guys would be so dangerous to my current lease! Thanks for the welcomes! I will try to speed up the Viper buy, but it's not going to be right now, sigh ...

    Hey everyone!

    Jim, you are the second person to recommend Bill Pemberton. Venom Lover also said the same thing. My current plan is to buy a used '01 or '02 in two years -- should I still deal with Bill on a used car?

    Hey everyone!

    Thanks guys, the questions will be forthcoming. Now, to answer yours, Jim, I'll tell you why ... It's actually pretty simple, I was looking for the fastest, best car I could get for $50k. For a long time I had been thinking about a used NSX ('95 or so), but then the realization set in that 270...

    Hey everyone!

    Hey there everyone! I just joined the Viper Forum a couple of days ago. Right now I'm driving an '01 Z06, but I am a very likely future Viper owner. I wanted to get to know the Viper community while I hatch my plans for the eventual Z06 replacement. I'm sure I'll ask everyone various...
