Best of all, this will be a FREE event for all Carolina VOA members and lunch will also be provided! We have also invited the "Fast Lane Mopars" club to join us. We had a great time with these guys last year, so we thought it would be fun to have them join us again.

[Slaughterj]

Got the kids bday that day, might try to stop by at least briefly I can tho.

[I Bin Therbefor]

Of course!

Many thanks The date is on my calendar

Have a resuscitation team on standby, I may go into sensory shock or cognitive harmony with the V10 exhaust sound. Everyone knows that the V10 exhaust is not "normal"! Lord knows what my heart may do. :dude3:

You're in luck! Wake County EMS only charges $1,000 for picking up heart attack victims. Much cheaper than other places! ;)

If anyone is interested in auto detailing supplies, Majestic Solutions is about 90 seconds from Mayhem. Majestic is open from 9 to noon on Saturday, so you can get some detailing supplies then go to Mayhem and blow the carbon out of your Viper!

Majestic Solutions is at 1001 Corporation Pkwy Raleigh, NC 27610.

The weather is going to be stunning tomorrow! See you guys soon.

[Brian GTS]

Thanks Craig. See you all in the morning! :)

[No hemi]

See you guystomorrow, getting ready for my short drive!!

[Next Phase]

Any of you N. Raleigh boys want to cruise out together?

[Brian GTS]

See you guystomorrow, getting ready for my short drive!!

Drive safe Angel! Probably on your way by now.


Any of you N. Raleigh boys want to cruise out together?

Great idea. Although, I'm heading down early...probably leaving around 9. Craig is dropping in about 1....not sure about the rest?

[gutterworks129]

Well we had a good turn-out at the first kick off doing the dyno day. It was good seeing everyone. Angel has a high-five for driving by him self for 4hrs, thanks man.

[Janni]

Pics later - took some candid shots. Great turnout and will be together next weekend for cars and coffee!

[Brian GTS]

What a great turn out! We had 14 Vipers in attendance and a couple members brought their "classics" too! The weather was fantastic, the cars looked stunning, and the company was even better. We had every generation of Viper represented....from Paul's 1992 RT10 to Jeremy's 2014 TA!!! Henry and Jannie brought their scales so we could weigh their orange hardcore ACR against Jeremy's orange TA.....the results....the TA was over 50 lbs lighter...and the TA includes nav/radio and carpets!!! Way to go SRT!!!

My pics are below. My camera was acting up. I apologize for the blurriness some but I salvaged all I could. Thank you to everyone that came out!

[JohnHammer]

Really disappointed I couldn't make it, but I got plenty of seat time in mine today. LOVE these "Winter" temps in February; it was partly sunny & mid 60's here in Race City USA today. Tomorrow even warmer. I'm sure I'll catch up with you all sooner than later.

[No hemi]

Thanks again guys it was a really fun day, loved seen all the machines , thank you to Mayhem motorsports again, beautiful cars, and even nicer people( as always), loved the numbers on my car, so it's time to start " phase2", lol, jeremy loved ur T/A, Brian your 98 is beautiful too, CJ as always im partial to yellow!!, haha, but the VVO has my vote ( Janni), anyway it was really good and fun too see you all again, as always a Top notch activity, looking forward to the next one!!!

P.S. the ride back was " uneventful".

[Mreeves]

Great time guys. Really enjoyed seeing everyone. Thanks for the pics Brian. Appreciate you putting my beater in there. LOL! Looking forward to the next one. See you all soon.

[Henry]

I just weighted 50lbs lighter then a 2009 ACR Hard Core this weekend at the first Carolina VOA Dyno day. We used scales on all four corners. The new TA could of weighted 50lbs heavier and I would still love it. Its an Ax-Murderer!

I will correct Jeremy a bit since I was the one that did the scaling and did some quick calculations in my head for an on the spot estimate. I don't trust manufacturer's claims on curb weights so I wanted to have a real data comparison between the 2 different as delivered generations of Vipers.

I have now had the time to go back and do accurate calculations. Here are the results:

http://driveviper.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3416&d=1393201418

So per these calculations the 2014 TA is 9 lbs lighter than a 2009 hard core package ACR. Sorry Jeremy that my top of the head calculations were off some.


Big kudos to SRT for deliverying the TA with all of the content for 9 lbs less than a hard core package ACR - which should be the lightest from the factory version of any of the Gen I - IV Vipers. An as delivered weight without fuel of 3253 lbs is fantastic from my perspective. This is real progress from my perspective as an engineer.

Way to go SRT!!

[Henry]

It was great fun meeting new friends and talking to old ones. Nothing like a day of burning some fossil fuel for fun!!

[I Bin Therbefor]

As a newbee to the area, I managed to go to the old store - I blame Google - and never did make the event. I'll try again the next time.:(

[I Bin Therbefor]

By the by, anyone know when the subscription to magazine capability will be up?

HENRY CONE!!! You Nit-Pikking-Summbeetch! Now that I see YOU are posting here, I have 23 of your posts to catch up on............


Jon

[Henry]

Hi Jon - you know me well. You have been slacking if you hadn't realized that I was posting on here. You're slipping....

[C.J]

I Bin, sorry Google steered you to their old location. The new place is maybe a 20 minute drive from their old location. Brian included their address at the start of this thread, and it was useful as Mayhem's own website still shows their old location! In Mayhem's defense, their website is getting a major overhaul now and should be available shortly. Their new site will have a much better shopping experience, updated location, etc.

Just to make sure I understand you correctly...were you asking when it will be possible to get a subscription to the VOA magazine? Thanks.

Definately my bad. I went after the name instead of the address. Not the first time my "quick action" lead me down the wrong path!.:witless:


Yes, I am asking when the magizine subscription capability will be up.

Hi I Bin. I'm sorry to hear you didn't make it to the dyno.

Yes, a magazine subscription will be offered in the next month or so. Of course, it is automatically included with a club membership if you decide to join. Member subscriptions are scheduled to ship in early April.
