    Northeast Winter Usage question:

    I mentioned in another thread that I drove a Supercharged BMW M coupe which has many similar driving characteristics as the Viper. With 380HP and 300ft/lbs of torque at 3000lbs, it spun the 275/35 18s all the time... Anyway, I drove it in the winter... Same thing.. Exiting a turn, you execute...

    Soon to be new owner

    I sat in a generation 1 car, and was shocked at how hard the seat was. It was not cozy. I believe the newer cars have comfier seats... I owned a BMW called the M Coupe which drives much like a viper but much smaller. With a supercharger, it was quicker than a Generation 1 car I raced in New...

    Has anyone encountered a new Mercedes E55?

    I spend time in a town called Greenwich CT, where people will spend anything to look good. $189K is close to the price of a Porsche GT2, which the Greenwich dealer seems to move a slew of. That Merc will sell like hot cakes.

    Northeast Winter Usage question:

    I would clearly never take any of my cars in salty sandy conditions. I was merely wondering if the cars where driveable in the cold... Without getting on it. Just as a user's standpoint. For me cars are only a weekend toy. I work in New York City, and drive only when the sun is out...

    What people thought the FIRST time you drove by in the Viper...

    Great pic! I really feel like the Viper is a car that I could keep for a long while in my garage, and still impress in 20 years. Like a GT40 of sorts. Your stories are great guys, and I am waiting like a snake bitten junky to get my fix! As for flashing... Well that just sounds like a fabulous...

    Hey guys thanks for the enthusiastic responses! My car is a hybrid one of a kind car. It started life as a regular 1990 Carrera 4 with a 3.6 liter 250HP motor. The car was sent to Protosport in New Jersey, and $50K was dumbed into it by the previous owner. The engine block on that car is...
