    Has Hennessey regained the trust of the Viper community?

    Short answer – A car that is fast, furious, and famous appealed to me. Long answer – Longing for the days of my misspent youth when I had a black ’72 Datsun 240Z, my fave car ever, I had been shopping for months for an all black sports car, preferably convertible, that would bring back some...

    Has Hennessey regained the trust of the Viper community?

    I recently bought a car from him. It's still up in the air whether he will honor his word. I'll keep you posted.

    Need traction help

    GREAT INFO! I've got BFG drag radials and no E-brake installed. For $150, it's a no brainer. I was going to buy new rear wheels and tires. Yee haaa. Thanks:2tu:

    Need traction help

    Hey, I don't blame you a bit, swapping wheels and removing the parking brake would be a huge pain. I was just giving you first hand experince that 18" wheels are possible, but not practical. For now, I live with the 18" wheels and no parking brake and it is a bit of a pain. I take chocks...

    Need traction help

    With 18" rear rims, the brakes are just fine except you'll have to remove the parking break. But you don't need a parking brake at the drag strip. ;) You can get huge traction out of BFGoodrich G-Force T/A Drag Radial 345/30ZR-18 and that is what Hennessey used in his 0 - 200 MPH test for...

    Best Cover to buy?

    I'm game, because I've never driven a Gen II and would love to give it a try. And I'll drive it with extreme care. If you want to give drifting another try, the roadster is just what you're looking for. It has no rear grip whatsoever. It's kind of fun when you WANT to light up the tires...

    Best Cover to buy?

    Thanks for the assistance one and all, it looks like CaliCarCover is my best choice. I'll get it ordered right away so that none of you have an excuse to kidnap the beast.

    Best Cover to buy?

    I won't give it to you, but anytime you want to swap rides on a deserted country road, I'm ready.

    Best Cover to buy?

    I've run out of garage space and the roadster doesn't like sitting under snow. Any recommendations on the best cover and vendor?

    Dream finally came true. I own a Viper

    CONGRATULATIONS! Beautiful car. That's my first Viper exactly and I love driving it. Just be VERY careful till you learn how to handle the power. The stock tires absolutely suck on wet pavement and you'll spin end for end in a heartbeat. Find your nearest local road course racetrack and...

    Where can I find a nice Viper poster for Christmas?

    Take any high res quality photo to your local business printing shop. They can blow it up to a 2 x 3 foot poster and mount it on hard stock or gator board for about $90. I've done this with several magazine covers and they look great

    Help the Washington Viper Club

    That's the best so far: green state, fangs, and shortened flag. As for those worried about people not recognizing the shape of Washington, nah. Anyone in VCA WA are certainly gong to know the shape and the "of Washington" ought to be clue enough for everyone else.

    Michelin PS 345/35/18, will they fit a gen 2 OEM wheel?

    From the other responses, it doesn't sound like you'll have my problem. I've got a Gen III with BFGoodrich G-Force T/A Drag Radial 345/30ZR-18 on the rear. Huge amounts of traction compared to OEM tires and supposedly it adds a couple of MPH to the top end of the theoretical limit, but the 18...

    Finally saw an SRT Coupe in person! WOW!

    My wife is from Hamilton so I frequently visit your part of the world. I would happily offer you a ride along on some twisty road in Butler Cty, but the only I'm there I'm in her minivan. I keep telling her it's a racing van, but so far she's not convinced.

    Viper Key

    I have a picture of a silver Viper key that I'm willing to part with for only $3000*. Makes a great Christmas present. *postage not included

    Glamour Shots of my models *Pics*

    The first one is clearly the best. Anyone who says otherwise just dones't understand what they are talking about. And I assure my COMPLETELY unbiased opinion has nothing to do with the '04 Black Roadster in my driveway.

    Between travel, poker tourneys, and holiday events, my weekends are pretty well filled thru early Jan. But let's pick the first sunny Saturday in Jan and go. I would love to find more of that 2 lane twisty for our next cruise. I think you have my cell on an email I sent, but if not, yell.

    Good job, Kelly. Had a great time and that 2 laner past Mt Weather was a blast. Good photos also. Since I have no idea how to upload photos, I'll email you mine shortly. Now I just have to figure out what to do to hold me till the first Spring run.

    Well said and I couldn't agree more. In addition to the Porsche Club, look into the local Ferrari club as well. Here in the National Capital Region, the Ferrari club is happy to have us tag along for their weekends at the track. I haven't been able to join them yet, but I'll be there at their...
