I'll take the Rookie (hardly the appropriate word here). John is a great driver and even greater guy. He let me use his tools, let me ride in his car, and rode in mine to give me pointers on how drive the course fast. I didn't find his driving style scary at all. Quite the contrary. He is...
John,
Newport Auto doesn't have them in stock. Gotta order them. I'll check McKenna and Circle tomorrow if I remember. These are the part numbers I got from Dave Jenkins:
993 341 08 400
993 341 08 300
By the first three numbers (993) I assume they are for a 993 (last air-cooled 911).
Good...
John,
Sorry but I don't think I can make it this weekend. I have too much to do on Saturday and have to go to Chicago on Sunday and Monday. Dave Jenkins will be replacing my brake fluid and oil on Tuesday.
Bad Byte,
Yes I remember our caravan up to Willow Springs. Haven't heard from Vic...
I just signed up for the event. I will be staying at the Sheraton. Plan on driving up Friday after work. This will be my first time on the track with the Viper so take it easy on me okay
What about in SoCal? I was thinking about white stripes on my GTS too. Any shop recommendations and approximate cost? BTW do aftermarket stripes hurt the value of the Vipers?

Welcome!
1. Calif. smog approval necessary. CARB certificate would be nice.
2. Traction control would be nice it you could turn it off when you want to have some fun
3. Polished or satin metal. Too much red on my car already.
4. 01 GTS. BTW I thought you couldn't supercharge creampuffs because of...

I'm going to check it out, early on Sat morning. (Gotta wash and wax, first!) Does anyone want to form a Viper convoy from Orange County? Maybe we could meet at Irvine Spectrum, or South Coast...
Thanks onerareviper. But now I'm even more confused about whether or not a change to 3.55 is worth it. I'm more of a road racing fan rather than drag racing. Mostly, I thought the 3.55 gears would help freeway cruising in 6th while giving a bit more SOP bang when nailing the throttle.
SOW is awesome for Boxsters. Not sure it would be as fun in the Viper since the straights aren't very long. I'm still just getting comfortable driving my GTS. I've owned mostly small sports cars and the Snake is big and mean . I love it though. I'm getting better heel & toeing it now. Took...
I would like to go on Saturday to watch. Anyone in Orange County driving up?
I was at Streets of Willow a couple of weekends ago (driving the Porsche with POC) and watched the Alfa club running on the big track. There were a couple of Vipers there. Looks a bit intimidating... not sure I'm...
Me too!!! I have the First Strike knob and love it. The quality is excellent and the price very reasonable. Plus it was easy to install. I thought of getting a B&M (I have one on my Porsche) but Bill P. told me all I need is the MGW knob and he was right
Re: Where can I buy an inexpensive Snell SA \'00 rated helmet?

Slightly cheaper than Helmet City, although maybe not after the VCA discount (I didn't know about...
