    I got nabbed!!! ARGHHH!!!

    This might help. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. I have a few friends on the force, and that's where iI get this tip. Find out what shift this officer works. Make sure you get a court date during her shift. Make excuses like work or something until you get a court time during her...

    SRT Track Limitations

    Here's a possible option. I just started tracking my car this spring. The viper days event at Mid-0hio would not let me run the RT10 without a hard top. I'm not a fan of the hard top, so I looked elsewhere. I found NASA racing and was able to run my car without a top. I know a little risky. They...

    Question for the Michigan fellas

    So how did you guys register last year? Who did you contact? I noticed after the parade lap the cars were put in a roped off "corall", did anyone have any problems with people tampering with the car? Were they guarded? A lot of alcohol is consumed at these races, and I might be a little...

    Question for the Michigan fellas

    So who organized this last year? If not Michigan maybe they do this type of thing at other tracks. I would be willing to drive a little bit to do a lap in front 100k NASCAR fans. Are you serious about the 40mph SylvanSRT? Just go 20mph for half a lap, get some space between the guy in front of...

    Question for the Michigan fellas

    Last June (I think) I was at Michigan Int'l Speedway for the NASCAR race. This was before I bought my viper in the fall. There had to be 50 vipers there divided in groups by color. Now that I have a viper and plan to attend that race again, can I participate in this event? I thought I heard...

    GEN 1 Vipers

    I can give a little first hand experience for top speed. I ran at Mid-Ohio a couple of weeks ago, and was hitting 145-150 depending on how cleanly I took the corner. This was the pro-course (no key hole)for those that are familiar with Mid-Ohio. I was maxing 4th gear or close to it. I would say...

    Does anyone care where our tires are made?

    Track tires?

    Khumos are Korean! Sheez! Guess I will look into Goodyear or figure out a way to haul Hoosiers to the track. Tires are giving me a headache.

    Devastated - Snake has to go!!

    A fighter pilot! As in you fly an F-something? I would think a viper would seem a little down on power to you. Not many people I can say that about. Just wanted to chime in and thank you for your service. I hope you find a solution to your dilema.

    Does anyone care where our tires are made?

    I wasn't aware of this. Thank you. I have been debating on what type of track/street tires to purchase (see my thread 'track tires"). I guess it will be Khumos, or maybe BF Goodrich, Firestone? What are the name brands that are US owned manufacturers?

    Track tires?

    .....but is anyone not buying Michelin's because of their French ownership or considering other brands for this reason? DOH! DOH! Khumos it is.

    Track tires?

    The Cups are a nice tire but last I heard they will not be offered in stock 17" Viper tire sizes so you will need to get some 18" wheels.. DOH! Pilot sports or Khumos?

    Track tires?

    I was leaning toward the Pilots. I wasn't aware of the CUPS, thanks guys. As far as Hoosiers, definately the best. I learned that after spending two days watching Subaru Imprezas with Hoosier slicks eat me up in the corners. [******] that all wheel drive. I don't want to get into the tire...

    Track tires?

    I just put my car on the track for the first time at Mid-Ohio. Wow, finally a chance to run it hard in 3rd & 4th gear. I found that I need practice and a new set of tires. I have XGZ's, or something like that. A couple of other experienced viper racers informed me that these a terrible...

    My first pics!

    '....I hope to see some of the local guys around town' Sweet! Now I have someone to cruise around with. I live in Hudson, just a short drive up Rt 8. I bet we got our cars from the same place. When I bought mine last fall, the dealer had two green/tan combo. PS you have a message.

    Help overspray on my car

    Thanks everyone for the advise. So far VIPER1994 is the winner. I will try the OOPS and hopefully this will be over. Sorry Tiepilot, I have already tried a clay bar and it did not work. The clay bar was recommended to me by a contact I have at a paint shop.

    Help overspray on my car

    I have overspray on the front of my car and one headlight lense. How did it get there? I had my lower front facia painted at a bodyshop. I thought they would remove the lower piece and paint it, but they painted while on the car. Of course they said to bring it back and they would take care of...
