    My ACR with Dick Winkles

    Had the honor of spending 2 days with Dick. What a great guy and a true gear head! We were collecting some data for the arrow stage 2 package in Florida's heat. Wanted to get real world runs with flat foot shifting. We must of made over 25 pulls.

    What I want to know is how in the world you manage to fit into a Viper... You're taking working out to another level.
    Must be nice talking to that dude for sure though, I'm sure I'd have just about 283840 questions

    Is Dick thinking about adding a no lift shift feature?

    Man, wish I had known. I'm in central Florida and could have met up. I've also got the stage 2 heads and cam package. Glad you got to spend some time with him!

    Did you have him build you a 300hp nitrous tune while he was there? lol

    Two points:

    1). The first pic looks like you've kidnapped Dick with your tree trunk arms and he's posing for his ransom note.

    2). That's the coolest ransom pic I've ever seen.

    Thank you guys!! These are some pretty funny comments. LMAO!!!

    He is such a down to earth guy. Had so many good conversations with him. I really enjoyed spending 2 days with him, whether it was in the car going 150mph or having dinner with him. I feel so lucky.

    Hankfan. He did say he would build me a custom tune for nitrous, but I'm not going that route.

    1.8t.No. No lift shift feature.

    Dick is an amazing guy and a wealth of knowledge. We're very fortunate up here in Michigan to see guys like Dick, Herb, and Ralph on a regular basis.

    I think Dick was just interested in what it felt like to ride in a Viper with the closest thing to an automatic transmission.
