    Hello and road holding question...

    Wet? No. Cold, (below 45F) yes. Cold AND wet, YES! There's a reason Michelin does not recommend PS2's for winter driving... That said, I'd bet you also have an alignment or suspension issue, if the car is as squirrelly as you're describing when driven sensibly on dry pavement, especially in...

    How NOT to leave a car show

    +1 Unfortunately, this still happens all too often, sometimes with fatal results (as with several examples this last year alone). There's been advice given on that very topic, on these forums and on other sites, many times, and still, some people appear not to learn. What makes this one...

    Myrtle Beach, SC Crash

    Weather here (and on the coast) was cold and windy on Monday; no way to know if that played a part, though. The driver may have either misjudged the speed of oncoming traffic, or, if turning from a stop, may have stalled partway through his turn. Hope the guy comes out of this OK; does anyone...

    ACR as a daily driver?

    Until this part, I actually thought this was a serious question; you are joking, right? No??? Well, alrighty, then! As a matter of fact, you could drive your ACR in the snow (under just the right conditions, of course), What conditions? Well. for starters, you'll need to change to studded snow...

    WARFANG Passed away a few months ago at 36

    OMG! I've been away from the forum for a while, and come back to find this. It's so sad to lose one of our own, especially at such a young age. I never knew Josh personally, but sure read a lot of his posts, and enjoyed conversations with him here. Deepest condolences to his family, and to those...

    2 Dead in Viper Crash: :(

    Very sad story, and a sobering thought as we get ready for the driving season. Be careful out there, everyone.

    This might be it! South Carolina Members lend a hand?

    NoVa, They were set to expire at the end of the month; that's why I'm sure those are the pics from the first ad.

    This might be it! South Carolina Members lend a hand?

    That thought crossed my mind, too, because those are the same pics as in the original ad. I met the guy who was originally selling it when I looked at the car for NoVa, so depending on the contact info Aspirations gets, we'll soon know.

    This might be it! South Carolina Members lend a hand?

    NoVa, That is DEFINITELY the same car, with the same temp tag(now expired) that was on it when I looked at it; I think those are the same pics used in the original flea bay ad. Hmmmmm. Sending you a PM.

    Viper drive that starts with Attempted Vehicular Manslaughter and ends with Police

    Re: Viper drive that starts with Attempted Vehicular Manslaughter and ends with Polic Just to set the record straight, dipapa, my background is EMS, not law enforcement, however, I've seen enough nasty crashes caused by drunk drivers, to have about zero tolerance for the species. Had I seen...

    Viper drive that starts with Attempted Vehicular Manslaughter and ends with Police

    Re: Viper drive that starts with Attempted Vehicular Manslaughter and ends with Polic I sure do, and when I see a possibly impaired driver, or one driving recklessly, I have been known to both call the police, and follow at a safe speed and distance until they showed up. You know why? Because I...

    Viper drive that starts with Attempted Vehicular Manslaughter and ends with Police

I've heard it all a thousand times: "You can't do that, you have a wife and kids to think of!" "Leave it to someone else; you might get hurt, you know!" "What are...

    Viper drive that starts with Attempted Vehicular Manslaughter and ends with Police

    Re: Viper drive that starts with Attempted Vehicular Manslaughter and ends with Polic The comments some of you have posted here exemplify one of the many things that have gone wrong in our society; to wit an attitude that goes something like this: "Don't get involved, don't do anything, if...

    Some nasty gift sent to me as well! I demand to know!

    Well, you see, once you have been around here long enough to have observed a number of these RED Vs. YELLOW dust-ups, you will notice that Chad's normally adequate reading comprehension skills seem to mysteriously vanish when he reads something which does not support his point of view. Rather...

    The Grand Destruction of the Yellow Nation

    Ha! More wishful thinking; oh, and about that "read between the lines" nonsense, when you quote me, quote what I actually said, not what you wish I said! I know reading comprehension is not exactly an intellectual strong point among most of the SLOW RED group, but that one was simple enough for...

    The Grand Destruction of the Yellow Nation

    Well, well, well, what a surprise! Just when you thought Team SLOW RED were behaving themselves (temporarily, of course), here they are instigating again. I see their "fearless leader" has come up with a new wrinkle, this time: starting a fight, then declaring "victory" before the other side...

    06 coupe vs C6 Z06

    Well, there's that, and then too, there's the matter of driving style and "feel". Just as a "for instance", I had both the C6Z06, and the 06SRT Coupe. I found I usually ran about the same times on a road course in both, but felt a bit more comfortable in the Viper; to me, it felt more...

    06 coupe vs C6 Z06

    1BAD, The question Achilles asked related to running on a road course, NOT a drag strip. He made that clear, and he has clarified it further since. I believe I told you before, that most of us who track are NOT drag racers; therefore, we really don't care which car does what on a drag strip...

    06 coupe vs C6 Z06

    I've had both, so let me put it this way; it's a driver's race. On the straight, he has a slight accelearation advantage, primarily due to rear gearing (3.46 to your 3.07). However your braking power is superior, and you can outbrake him on corner entry. On stock rubber, you have more lateral...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    Before you get too carried away, you (and everyone else) take a real good look at the "unbiased" source for those stats. It's a government agency; do you really think their reports are going to be anything but self-serving? Perhaps you trust the government NOT to lie to you; I do not. By the...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    GR8, In the first part of this, you have provided us an excellent insight into the bureaucratic thought process; they could not be satisfied with finding a perfectly good solution to a specific problem, i.e. instability in vehicles with a high center of gravity. Instead, they were so thoroughly...
