    Wheel and tire options for flat tires and survey

    Be carefull of trying to drive to and from the track. I wore through a heck of a lot of tires, and the ride home was a little too exciting with holes in my tires. Think I went home twice with the Viper donut wheel on. Rememer it's easy to flat spot your tires. And after a few heat cycles, your...

    What is Best Track in USA for the GT to run?

    Viper Days would travel (still do?) the country and go to many of these tracks. Quite a few of these guys liked Texas World Speedway in College Station as apparently it let you go really fast. I always thought there were too many walls there, but every where I went off course was safe... I was...

    How Many Viper Coupe FE Owners are there?

    I owned a 97 blue with white stripes. Really wish I had kept it but I was leaving the country. The looks of the new one have not grown on me, so I don't know if I'll ever go back.

    GTvs. EVO

    Mistubishi actually searches online SCCA listings of events. If you have even autocrossed your car, your warranty is over. Happened to some guy who blew an engine. If you feel the urge, get the subaru. I live in a hilly and twisty hillside town, so the subaru was an option, but I went with a...

    GT Market - Record Low Price?

    This car is gorgeous. That and the low production will keep it's value up over time. Plus it's gorgeous. Wish I had a garage like Dan Tana (? Vegas Private Eye tv show, where he parked in his living room)

    renting a GT , where to drive in SoCal?

    When you get to Julian, head east out of town. Amazing road that plunges out of Julian, and if it's not a weekend should be empty. Desert is empty once your down too, just need a spotter for the rare cop...

    We made the Road & Track Top 50 Car Guy List

    On my first trip to Switzerland I was going to buy a watch I had my eye on. But it was half that price in the states. (I guess store clerks over there get a living wage.) That was the last decent watch I bought. After that it was cheap ones that could time laps at the track and wake me up to...

    We made the Road & Track Top 50 Car Guy List

    Why would anyone wear a watch? Some guy wore one in my GT and I made him take it off as it made a scratch noise against the door panel. But seriously, there are clocks everywhere and the cell phone time is always accurate.

    7 Days in Jail for 147 mph

    No, it wasn't me. This guy was caught by photo cameras in scottsdale AZ at 102, 105, 127 and 147 in a rented Hyundai Sonota. Plead down to aggresive driving class, 1 year probation and 7 days in jail. Could have faced 6 months in jail. Not sure why the prosocution did a plead deal since he was...

    Is your garage nicer than your dining room?

    I want the GT in the living room so I can stare at it longer. Saleen makes a GT coffee table base, but it's just not the same.

    What the Most Ridiculous Thing You've Ever Overheard About a GT?

    Ford should have called it a GT 44. Would have cleared up some things. As for the average person not knowing, how many hobbies do you know well? If a women walks up with a 5k dress, and jimmy chou shoes, and an 800 purse, can you identify them? I have worn $200 suits and $2k suits, and I...

    Holy S$%#!

    Nothing is fully deductable after 120k as a single, and 80% max phase out reached before 200k, at least that's what I recall from doing my taxes for the last time in 2001. I used to laugh at my neighbor who would brag about how much money he was raking in and tell me how the interest on his boat...

Multi-Risk is a package of coverages that includes Comprehensive, Collision and Mechanical Breakdown (MBI). This coverage protects you from expensive auto repair bills when your car experiences a...

    Serious Question Regarding ECU Tune

    Can the dealer tell that you have changed your tune? And deny your warranty? Or can they tell even if you reflash the orginal? That's my main concern until the warranty expires at least. It's a 30k engine plus install. The only reason I would consider it is that they say the engine runs cooler...

    Is your garage floor an "ugly betty"?

    How slippery when wet is it? Does it pull up when you pull in with really hot tires?
