Welcome to the forums, nice ride, just like the first one I'd bought, loved it! What back-up camera did you go with, apparently wireless isn't an option... yet?

Thanks!

I went with the Wolfbox 10". It goes over top of the current rearview mirror. So, it is not overly noticeable and includes a a 2.5K front camera too. They are the typical cheap Chinese stuff, but they actually seem to have decent (initial) quality and works well. I will get to run it through its paces in the spring.
There are a few wireless options out there. But, I didn't want a screen mounted somewhere. I want to keep the overall look as stock as possible, sans the ridiculously long shifter. You can choose dual display of front and rear cameras, backup camera comes on automatically, of course. At least with this setup, it is out of the way and there are already wires running into the rearview mirror and a great path in loom already going to the rear of the car and license plate. Easy-peasy install, or at least as far as installing anything in a vehicle goes.

We have a great track weekend not far from you, at PittRace in Wampum. Great opportunity to get your car on track with several other Vipers if you're so inclined. If not, many come just to hang out and watch. Organized by Complete Performance Motorsports and Chin Track Days, in September. Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is also a nice event nearby. Hope to see you join the club and get involved!

Sweet! I will keep an eye out for that event! Thanks for the info!

Thanks!

Did you guys ever meet up at an event?

Many times. We only live a few miles away from each other.

That's great! Hopefully, I will get a chance to meet up with you guys down the road (pun intended).

I absolutely love that track. I think its easily one of the best tracks in the east. Coincidently that track gave me my first experience with a genV, an ACRE. It was one of the PA/Ohio VOA guys to whom I am forever thankful, super super nice of him to get me completely addicted to these cars lol

[jpmst3]

GenV-ACRE, that would be a sweet machine to take around the track! Lucky man!

They will provide you with knowledge, elbow grease, and lots of camaraderie. I live just north of Pittsburgh and a bunch of us are very active with club events.
