Anyone going tonight? Opening night at Foxboro Stadium. It's the largest cruise night in New England. Held every other Thursday starting around 4 PM. I'm driving my Sapphire Blue GTS up from the Cape. There have been as many as 2,000 cars of all types there some nights. I'm usually the only Viper.

Not as many many cars as usual and only one other Viper last night. It was a B/W 96 or 97 GTS. Nobody around the car when I went over. Nice drive up and back. 120 mile round trip.

THat may have been Dave G! Dave chime in! Were you there last night?
Paul, We have been to a few of those events problem is timing. Most of the members are from the North Shore, so we have to go through Boston and fight the traffic, and usually in mid summer you want to get there early. Last year I met Dave G and a few other new members I got to join the club as well. However I had to leave work at around 1PM.
Can we make you the official New England club recruiter for the Foxboro events? I mean its only 120 miles round trip for you....

Martin, Now that I'm retired I don't want to run anything, but official recruiter for the Foxboro event doesn't sound like it carries an overwhelming commitment!!! I try to get there by 4 PM but it is tough for you guys trying to get there through rush hour traffic.

Nice night for a cruise last night. Maybe 200 cars of all types. One B&W 96/7 Viper. Not sure if it was Dave or not. Went over to it a couple of times but the driver was not around.

Apologies, just saw this post...
So I was just talking to Martin and told him it was not my car and I haven't even driven it this year. Still sitting on the lift. I would be up for going if you want to go some night..
Guess I should watch this thread.....
PS, the only show I went to this year was at the Dog track in Raynham but that was in my Sons Plumb Crazy Challenger SRT8
PSS, I believe I have seen that car and if its the sane one, its a 97...

Dave, I will probably bring the Viper up next Thursday if it's a nice day. Tomorrow (Saturday) there is a show at Mashpee High School if you're on the Cape. 9 AM to 3 PM. It is a benefit for Veterans. I'm going in the Viper.

So I just arrived in Falmouth but I didn't bring my car... Had to take the wife's RX350 with a Kayak and some Patio Furniture... Still trying to get settled down here before the summer months so unfortunately I wont be able to make it... BUT, next Thursday, weather permitting sounds great....
If I don't have a paintbrush in my hand, I will try and take a ride down since I am minutes from there...

OK, I will be in touch as the week progresses... What I do is bring my car to work and then go to the show from there. If for some reason you cant go let me know the night before that way I don't bring my car to work with me
Talk soon...

That's not fun. PITA to change. I keep the newer cars on a C-Tek 3300 battery tender. They work pretty good. Looks like sunny and 70's for Thursday. I plan to be there by 3 PM.

I get out of work at 3:00 and it takes me about a half or so to get there. If possible, save a spot, so we can park together (providing I can find you) I will PM you my cell number..

Dave, I'm going to Holliston at Noon to Auto Nuvo to have a clear bra installed on the front end. Should be to Foxboro before you. I come in the show car entrance, over the bridge and park in the first area so I can set up a lounge chair and watch everyone come in. I'll recognize your car and wave you in.

Hi guys. I’m new to this site, I live in Brewster and I have been in the market for a Viper. I’m looking at the 2010 and 2013 models. I’m trying to find out what is the difference from the gen 4 to the gen 5.I was hoping that if you guys were going to be at any of the different car shows or cruise nights around the cape if you wouldn’t mind if I came by and talked to a little about the cars and check out your ride. All the vipers I have been looking at on line are all around the country and I rather not fly around looking at different ones if there are a few in my back yard. Were any of you guys the 2017 viper at the Hyannis down town on father’s day?
Thanks for any help

Hi guys. I’m new to this site, I live in Brewster and I have been in the market for a Viper. I’m looking at the 2010 and 2013 models. I’m trying to find out what is the difference from the gen 4 to the gen 5.I was hoping that if you guys were going to be at any of the different car shows or cruise nights around the cape if you wouldn’t mind if I came by and talked to a little about the cars and check out your ride. All the vipers I have been looking at on line are all around the country and I rather not fly around looking at different ones if there are a few in my back yard. Were any of you guys the 2017 viper at the Hyannis down town on father’s day?
Thanks for any help
Dennis
Hi Dennis,
Too bad you missed the get together about 3 weeks ago at Ocean Edge and Will's house in Brewster. Will has a Gen 5 ACR and Dr. Steve in Eastham does as well. Several guys with Gen 4 and 5's in the New England group. Mine is a Gen 2 GTS. I'm no expert on the newer ones but the Gen 5's lines kind of look like the Gen 2's. Not sure if the Viper you saw in Hyannis belongs to one of our members. I did not attend. Some of us go to the Foxboro cruise nights every other Thursday. Dave G has a summer home in Falmouth, so there are a few of us around the Cape. I am up in Sandwich.
Tim Mahoney is the Regional VOA leader. You should attend one of the events. The lobster Roll event in Reading in September is the big one and is not to be missed. Welcome aboard.

Jeff, The Lobster Roll Event is scheduled for Sept. 16-18. I believe Sunday the 17th is the actual event in Reading. There are cruises/caravans also scheduled prior to and after the event. It has been elevated to one of the National "Bucket List Events" in Viper Quarterly.
Enjoy your honeymoon.

Missed hanging with you guys too. Everything has been good as I hope it has with you. I finally got approved last Friday!!! I still need to take a 90 minute class before I can go pick up my supplies. Should hopefully get that squared away this weekend. Have fun at the concert Paul! Hopefully we can catch up at the next one.

Hi Jack, Yes I am planning on going opening night in the Viper. Dave and I were talking about it.
As long as the weather cooperates, I'll be driving up from the Cape.
Hope to see both of you there. Pale Ales and stogies!!!!

Been good Dave! Busy winter. How about you?
Paul I could use a nice outdoor stogie smoke and a couple of beverages to wash it down over some good car talk. BTW when did the stripes go on?? Could have sworn it was a stripe delete car!? Looking good! Any other work done over the winter? I’m doing gears in May or June and I think I may chop the muffler/cats at the same time. Looking forward to hearing yours again.
I’ll be there Thursday one way or the other as long as it’s not a washout. Looking forward to seeing you guys!

My car is also scheduled for dyno tuning the morning after so I guess it will depend if the shop owner wants to get my car in there the night before to get everything set up so we can hit the ground running in the am. Hope to meet you guys sooner or later! Any of you guys go to the Lobster Roll event every year? Likely I've met you in the past and just don't realize it.
