So do you race your car on a road course like MSR? I'm not into the 1/4 stuff but love to get my car out there at MSR as much as I can.

With all the BS aside, both the Corvette and the Viper are great cars. With enough money and mods, one can be made faster then the other. BUT, there is one thing the Corvette has on the Viper that the Viper can’t compete with. That is comfort. There is no way in HE11 I would take a long road in a Viper. The interior is too small…PERIOD.

As far as taking a long trip, my first time I drove my coupe was from the dealership (Wisconsin) back to Kentucky. It was about an 8 hour drive, and it seemed shorter. I guess I was still on Cloud 9, but the trip didn't bother me. Now the next day my right butt cheek hurt from sitting on my wallet during the trip, but that's another story!

I was just sort of embarrassed that I'm waving to a dude in a Viper... Once he got closer, I caught myself, so hopefully he didn't see...

..kinda' looks like it's in the attack mode in that shot doesn't it.... I doubt that Mark is too worried though. Even with my setup he could probably make things quite interesting with that awesome ride of his..
By the way, Mark is very familar with my vette.
He is the very talented artist responsible for all the flame work on my car....
Here's a couple shots of him at work:

I appreciate the candid shots, Jim.
Just got back from the alignment shop. The guys there were commenting on how better it looked from the other day, and I couldn't agree more. The alignment guy said the wheels weren't even that bad off after lowering, but now they are perfect. I was going to raise it a little, fughettaboutit, I like it the way it is, and no bottoming out, i can't believe it. The ride is like night and day! Couldn't be happier, and money well spent.
Jim, I left you a message on your voicemail.

Thanks Jim, cant wait to get it back, I miss driving it. That would be awesome if you could take a look at it for me.
Z06klr; he is just repairing it after I got t-boned just before xmas. Feel free to go do any pro bono work on it you want
Maybe when I pick it up I can meet up with y'all for lunch or something. Next I think that I am going to take either my turbo Z28 or the 99 GT for fresh paint by him. So far I am really impressed with his work, thanks for recommending him Jim.
