    Viper Competition Coupe Q&A

    We were asked why the Viper Competition Coupe's turning radius, at 61.2 ft, is so much greater than the 40 ft. or so of, say, the Viper GTS Coupe. I thought the answer might be of interest to all. The Viper Competition Coupe's turning radius is intentionally restricted in order for the car to...

    5-Point Belts Info ...

    Here’s a head’s-up on the ACR/GT-2 5-point safety belts recall matter. This is in no way an official announcement or policy, just, ah, my 2c worth: It may seem that the belts recall issue is hanging fire due to apparent inaction, but I assure you it is not. According to what I hear around the...

    Magic Carpet Ride remix

    I'm a better investigator than this ... Check out http://www.eburg.com/~cellar/?clkd=iwm for all there may be to know about April Wine. Steve, as much as I like the MCR remix, "I Like To Rock" may be the best driving song of all time. I know that, originally, it pre-dated your time with the...

    Justin Bell no longer with Team Corvette

    Dean, you're kidding, right? For those who don't know, Ron Smith is The O.G. Viper Prince -- he was Elaine Pearson before she was. Ron Smith going to Mopar is only good for high performance in general, but he's a bona fide car guy who was at Ground Zero on the VCA with John Thompson, Maurice...

    '99 ALMS Collectibles Bidding?

    \'99 ALMS Collectibles Bidding? I'm amazed that the bidding for the brake parts actually raced on the '99 ALMS Drivers Championship-winning Viper GTS-R are not drawing more heat. The bidding for the large items seems to have leveled off at about $650, and one of the three small items (David...
