    What did you do to your Viper today?

    It's January, driving season in the north is over...and the perfect time to do some work on the Viper! Time for some cosmetic improvements on my '14 TA starting with removal of the 10 y/o Suntec PPF that showed all of its 58,000 miles. Side sills, bumper and under-bumper carbon fiber...

    10 years ago this community changed my world...thank you and Happy New Year!

    The 2014 Gen V TA had set the Production Car Track Record at Laguna Seca, the journalists reviewed it in September, and forum members here helped me big time to decide to pull the trigger based on their experiences with their 2013 SRT and GTS models. But only 6 of 159 were allocated to Canada...

    Great video with Leno testing and discussing the Shelby Daytona. The Viper picked up where the Shelby Cobra & Dayton left off!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPi3sbsIkig I've always loved the Shelby Cobra & Daytona, so it's no wonder I feel the same about my Viper. How about you? Bruce

    Track Attack #12, TA’s first day at Calabogie Motorsports Park

    Sept 19, 2014 This is one tough track. Built in 2006, it’s set into a highland wilderness in north eastern Ontario, 3 ¼ hrs from my home, and just an hour west of Ottawa, the country’s capital. Popular among the locals for its proximity, its tight layout and 20 technical corners give...

    Track Attack #11, New tires, best lap time, max g’s, 991 Turbo S…and the big question

    Sept 3, 2014 – '14 Viper TA at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (Mosport) My last track event was here just two days ago, and the last on the original front Corsa tires. They had worn very well over 10 track days and 14,000 kms (~8000 miles). Today I was on new fronts that were just installed...

    Trying to acquire Corsa tires by Tuesday in the Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa area

    I can receive them from Tire Rack in about a week but have a trip planned for Wednesday. Anyone have any, or know of somewhere that might? These are not tires that shops would keep in stock normally. Please PM or email to [email protected]. Thank you. Bruce

    Viper TA Track Attack #9, New track 8-19-14...and maybe the most fun yet!

    Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (aka Mosport) has a Driver Development Track (DDT) that they've expanded and upgraded this year. It's a safe track with minimal barriers to run into, and a good place to feel out your car and skills at the limit. This was my first time on it, as was it for all but...

    2014 TA Track Attack #8, CTMP (Mosport) Aug 6, 2014...The 90 Minute Enduro

    I was back at the track to focus on a couple of things I thought I could improve in my driving. I’ve built a lot of confidence over the last 3.5 months of driving and tracking it, and now that I’m there, and lap times have really improved, further gains are going to have to come from improved...

    Viper TA Track Attack #6/7, VIR June 25-26, 2014

    Those of you who have followed my track threads know that I’ve been racking up the miles and track days… 6000 miles and 7 days over the 9 weeks leading up to this 2 day event with Chin Motorsports at the iconic Virginia International Raceway. I had carefully searched for a car that was not only...

    Gen V forum posting vitriol discourages SRT/Dodge participation

    I had the pleasure of spending considerable time with a number of SRT/Dodge's senior management as their guest at the Tudor Race the weekend before last, and met another couple this past weekend at Homecoming. What a great bunch of passionate and knowledgeable enthusiasts, and I found them all...

    The Spousal Report...10 days touring and tracking the Viper TA

    Bruce has suggested I post a blog from "the wife's" perspective so that all you guys out there can share this with your "significant other" if you would like. Our trip is going to take us from Toronto, Ontario Canada to Donegal, Pennsylvana to see Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater home and tour...

    Viper TA Track Attack #5, Mosport 6-11-14…seat time really pays off!

    It amazes me how much lap time can be shed with so little extra seat time in this car. I’ve been dropping about 4 seconds a lap each day at the track with little effort…just more familiarity coupled with a decent skill level. Yesterday’s lap time of 1:34 is quite significant for a bone stock...

    Brake shudder caused by pad deposits on TA front rotors

    I developed this following my 4th track day. Pedal doesn't pulse as with a warped rotor, but a roughness can be felt and heard. When I examined the front rotors I saw the patchy deposits, with the rears being perfectly clean. I thought I had bedded in the pads with a few progressively harder...

    Track Attack #3 (Mosport), #4 (Mont-Tremblant)...and 2400 mile road and track report

    Last week was a busy one with my 3rd and 4th lapping days, and I now have 4 weeks of ownership, and 2400 miles of combined road and track seat time. The Viper is likely as distracting to a new owner as it obviously is to many others who see it, and I discussed driving in distracted state of...

    Track Attack #2 … and 1200 mile impressions of the Viper TA

    Two weeks ago I had just finished the 500 mile break-in before doing my first track day with the TA. At that time I was still affected by severe Shock and Awe, and not really that relaxed with the car yet. That track day was done in the rain where I found it handled well when smooth on the...
