    Congrats to PMUM (must read)

    LOL... he must of gone to the Dearing school of qualifying ;) I guess when you're as fast as PMUM (and Dearing) you don't need to start on the front row to get to the podium :laugh: . Go Paul!!!

    Why Vipers don't handle well?

    Re: Why Vipers don\'t handle well? I think people get the impression that the Viper doesn't handle well becasue they've never actually "driven" one. I was at first intimidated driving it hard on the street because the limits are so high. After attending a few Viper Days events and a few other...

    Packing up for OTC....

    Good luck Ron and John :) . I'm sure you'll make us proud :usa: I was at Spring Mountain last weekend for the first time. Very fun track, but might be better suited to a Radical (with itty bitty 1.3 liter Suzuki Hayabusa motor) or Dave K's supercharged S2K (I took my stock one). Rupert...

    Radar Detectors

    I have both a V1 (Viper), 8500 (Boxster) and Passport Solo (S2000). V1 and 8500 are both very good. I think the V1 may be a bit more sensitive and gives slightly earlier warnings (seat of pants judgement on my part). V1 advantages: Directional arrows, autodimming, better mounting braket...

    Autovation pedals installed

    I've had mine installed since last summer and have had several track days with them. They work fine. Dave Jenkins installed mine (bought from Apex). I took the gas pedal off because it was too wide and the extra thickness and angle made it hard to heel/toe when braking HARD. The wider brake...

    Custom Made Aluminun Pedals

    I have those pedals. Got mine from Apex for about the same price. Had Jenkins install them before a WSIR event the next morning. On the drive home from the shop I determined the thicker gas pedal and the angle it created made it nearly impossible to heel/toe. It also put the pedals way too...

    Brake failure results in totaled Viper

    Thanks for the input Jon. If it is the master cylinder is there a fix or an aftermarket solution? Seems strange that with the number of Vipers raced that there wouldn't be something more dependable, especially considering the importance of brakes! BTW I haven't heard about this problem...
