    Esquire Magazine

    So not exactly my car in a magazine, but I did inspire Esquire to do a segment on car rivalries. My letter to their editor: Their reply in this month's Esquire: If you can't read it, it says the following: (and yes, I don't currently own a Viper but I still consider myself an...

    200 MPH Club?

    Since the Gen4 is capable of it and other gens, modified, can, who on here has hit 200 MPH or faster in a Viper? Lord knows I have never came close, but given the right circumstances I would certainly try. They give you a 220-MPH speedo for a reason.

    New Unsold 09s

    I sold my '10 ACR Vert and am working my way around to getting a replacement after realizing how much I'm missing it. I've been in touch with a few folks and a dealer or two about new unsold '09s that are still sitting around. Anything I should know before (if/when) I pull the trigger...

    Seven Gen Vs At Once!

    Word around the campfire was that there were going to be 7 GenVs out here in Central Kentucky on a verification run. Got to catch up with them, say hi to some of the engineers and Dick Winkles, and got some snapshots with the cell phone before leaving them to finish up their data downloads...

    My ACR Roadster For Sale

    Sadly, it has come time to sell my beloved ACR Roadster. It's in the Classifieds: http://classifieds.viperclub.org/showproduct.php?product=6065 No stories, clean title, no lien, but it is at 10,100 miles. I bought it intending to drive it, and I have, but changes in priorities as my...

    HPDE Spin Out 5/19/12

    Went to an HPDE at Putnam Park in Indiana this past weekend, had an absolute blast. This is my second one, so I'm still learning a lot about the car and about driving it at its limits. Spun off track twice, but got video footage of the first one, both from the car behind me, and from...

    2012 Keeneland Concours d'Elegance

    http://www.keenelandconcours.com/ July 21 2012 will be this year's Keeneland Concours d'Elegance at Keeneland in Lexington. I've been (as have some others on here) the last several years as a Paddock participant with the nonjudged area. This year I've been fortunate to have my Viper...

    Stock 2010 Viper ACR @ Clay City Kentucky

    Finally getting the hang of the Viper. Quite a handful at launch because it wants to wheel hop violently. This was my third time with it at the drag strip. 2000' DA and typical Kentucky track prep (aka very little). Got 13 passes in total, most of which were 12.0 - 12.1 in the 1/4...

    Photo: Quick shot with infrared filter

    They say Monet was able to see into the ultraviolet, and that's why his paintings were so vivid... Here's a little Infrared filter on a shot I took of the ACR 'Vert. Thought it came out really neat looking, and the red turning into a blackish purple is just mean as hell.

    Putnam Park HPDE May 19

    I attended an HPDE (High Performance Driving Event) held at Putnam Park in Mt. Meridian IN last September. The company that put it on, Torqued Racing, is coming back again on May 19. It was the best $250 I've spent so far on my Viper, and if you've never been on a road course (or if you...

    The Louisville Concours d'Elegance is coming up again, Sunday October 2 at Churchill Downs. http://www.concourslouisville.com/ As of right now (assuming I don't plaster it all over a corn field in Indiana next Friday when I go for my first HPDE), the Viper is competing in the Supercar...

    Kentucky Bourbon Trail Picture Thread! (Bandwidth heavy - Dial-up and mobile alert!)

    So many of these pictures came out so well, I thought it was too good to put in the Ohio or IN/KY VCA forums, where they might not get seen by as many. Thanks to Randall with the Ohio VCA and Jason with the IN/KY VCA for all the logistics and legwork that went into such a great weekend...

    ACR Roadster Model

    No, I've not seen one (a model kit for a 2010 ACR Roadster that is...) so I've set out on my own quest... So I'm nerd-ing out somewhat here and revealing my roots as a modeler (more back when I was a teenager than lately), but after lunch today several car buddies and I went by Hobby Lobby (a...

    Viper/Challenger Photoshoot

    I was invited to bring a couple of my cars to a University of Kentucky photography class project, that was a photoshoot at a local private airport. Here's some of the better pictures from the shoot, thought I'd share! Enjoy!

    ACR Burnout - How-To?

    I realize i'm opening myself up here, but I'd like to know others' burnout (tire warming, brake stand, whatever you want to call it) techniques. I've not tried more than a half dozen times or so, but my stock '10 ACR seems really hard to do any kind of burnout with. It wheel hops very easily...

    Dyno'd 2010 Viper ACR Roadster

    Went to a local Dyno Day this weekend, and the Viper was a hit! Dyno'd at 535 rwhp, bone stock. I was pleased - was expecting 515-520ish. Lots of videos taken of it by people there... first one includes my other 2 SRTs and shots of the dyno monitor, dyno is a Super Flow, which is a...

    Camera Test Video - ACR Roadster

    Took advantage of warm weather today to put the top down and try out a new camera mount I got for making car videos. There's nothing special about this video - it's nowhere near the quality of the burnout one a little while back, just me with a Flip camera and a free warm afternoon! The...

    Woodhouse and Bill Pemberton

    6 months as a Viper owner, and I'm still alive, 2600 miles later. We'll see how well I handle the -next- six months, which will be much more conducive to testing its abilities! Got a note from Woodhouse yesterday commemorating it (this after getting my new 2011 Viper Club of America ID cards...

    World's Fastest Windows Server*

    Curbed Wheel, Options?

    So, I took the ACR to a cruise-in and was parallel parked next to a curb on a street, and I misjudged my distance. Curbed the front passenger wheel, got some road rash and a little burr on the CF splitter. Not too worried about the CF at this point. What are my wheel options? Obviously a...

    Edgewater Test & Tune - Cinci, OH 10/15

    Just wanted to give a heads up, I'm going to be taking my Viper (and Challenger and maybe Charger if I can find drivers) up to Edgewater Sports Park tomorrow, Friday, 10/15, for some 1/4 mile T&T drag racing. Never been in the Viper, so I'm going to be taking it easy and learning it. If...

    Viper Driver = Better Overall Driver?

    I was just tooling around today in my Charger SRT-8, which has always packed a punch (I usually keep the nanny turned off and in Autostick mode), but after having my new Viper for almost 4 weeks now, I'm feeling like I'm a better driver overall. Anyone else feel like they're a better driver...
