    I'm just a peasant with an 11 second manual but I take solace in knowing it will be 5+ years before the target-cr-market can afford to not race it.
  3. A "supercar" is a noun to me, not an adjective. It's not something you define and decide to later change or "downgrade" because performance standards have risen so high. The MKIV was and still is just a sports car. If Toyota had dropped the MKIV in 1980 - at the same MSRP it was tagged in the 90's - it would have a supercar title. But in 1993 there were Bugatti EB110s, Jaguar XJ220s, Lamborghini Diablos, Ferrari F50s, McLaren F1s...some of the most influential vehicles of all time. Tell me with a straight face that if you and a buddy see a Diablo cruise out to CC&C and park next to a MKIV Supra, you would say "hey, grab the camera I want a picture of these two supercars next to each other!" *fart noises* What if said imaginary Diablo were parked next to a new Aventador. How would that go? "hey, grab the camera I want a picture of these two supercars next to each other!" Any normal person that overhears you: "ughhh. Excuse you, the Diablo hasn't been a supercar since the mid 90's, by today's performance standards it's a "sports car" at best. ACTUALLY, another little known fact, a new BRZ holds higher lateral g..." *punched in the face/kicked in the sack/sweet whispers of unconscious farts* I saw Kerry try to defend himself with hypercar somewhere too. I didn't hear that term used until recently to describe cars like the P1, Spyder and LaFerrari. I certainly never heard it in the 90s or 25 years to follow.
  4. every car you listed in comparison falls in the "sports car" or "exotic" category. By no means were they super cars.

    The Lists 2019?

    Q: What are the restrictions on the "daily" category? There was a time when my 650hp car on street tires was my daily. It no longer is my daily and it is much slower for anyone feeling triggered.
  6. I'm with Aaron, we went from hoping our season wasn't a shut out to an almost winning season. I enjoyed every game after the staff change and I'm excited to watch next year.
  7. Looks like it was washed with brillo pads. Amazing work tim.
  8. 2 autocrosses a month in Viper 1 race a month in the Porsche Cruise and chiggen weekly
  9. If you build it, they will come (Cum) "They" implying: liberal progressives in minivans, social justice warriors ( using sweatshop-built-devices), environmental activists wearing sweat pants (source deemed environmentally irresponsible), nofuncar krew, twinkedin users, CR gen population

    Bruce I loved driving this car. Are you getting something else? Where have you been anyway? PM me your #
  11. Mike, nice work and good progress so far. Have you guys really weighed out the pros and cons of racing Lemons? If the entertainment and rules are what have you considering it, than my statement's moot. I've got friends that have done both Chump and Lemons and, the feedback is pretty consistent: the chump drivers have less accidents. IMO junk cars are still too expensive to replace. The idea of racing wheel-to-wheel with unlicensed drivers in death traps gives me the "jeebs". It's fun to watch though.
  12. Under the wings of an angel Heaven comes to me The pearly gates are open wide To eternity
  13. You messed up bub. Should have checked over the car before you left. At this point I advise you have a respectful conversation with them and state your case and hope they help.
  14. Sweet Tim. That staff is pretty solid. Harder and harder to find good service shops.
  15. That's ok I was trying to make a couple hour hike to an event Sunday, hence my haste. I'm normally not so impatient. If I'm out that way -Tim good to hear. Hope yours went as well as mine!
  16. Discount Tire came through. Charged me $40 and found all four wheels took weights (despite being static balanced by someone I know and trust). The staff at the Lewis Center location are great guys who genuinely like cars. Viper's riding smooth as glass. Cliff notes: Viper techs wanting $250 LOL to balance tires.
  17. Too bad it turned out to be a beautiful day! I found my way into a Discount Tire at lunch. 1 hour wait* and, they seem committed to taking care of the car. Sales person here at the Lewis Center location has been great. Now to see if they know how to use their machine haha.
  18. Air, welder, lift, impact, bench grinder, bench mounted vice, ball joint removal, spring compressor, crank puller, basic hand tools. I don't know nuffin bout no specialty tools.
  19. I have a rhythmic vibration in the rear end at 75+ and the wheels are currently static balanced.
  20. North of Route 36 in Sunbury. I just had to cancel my appointment because when I called to confirm,the tech led me into this conversation "that's a large wheel, what car is this for?". I responded "My Viper." He says "you're going to need that road forced balanced." "I know, that's what I said when I scheduled..." "I'm going to need to take it out and drive it, see what it's doing and get the tires nice and hot before the balancing." "I'd prefer that you handle the balancing and the machine. I can bring the car in with the tires hot." We disagreed, I backed out. Nothing gets me more excited than handing off my 600hp car to a stranger on a cold day. Tried Wheel Medic - Booked until Wednesday Lucore - Booked to Monday Pickups plus - Static balances only Local Dodge Dealership - wanted $250 Any other thoughts?
  21. It's not that I don't want to send you guys business. You're just too far for any convenience.
