Mine was delivered on 9/16/07, 16k miles on the clock, countless track days, by far the best car I've ever owned.

just came from the worst weather ive ever had at a track event that was at carolina motorsports park. i still took it out on the sport cups, since all i had were r6's in the truck and had some fun while trying to figure out a new track for me. it rained both days with thunder storms on sun that was to be followed by snow. this is what it looked like on the way back to atlanta today on march 1st

Amen to this thread Rich... The car is such a hoot to drive whether on the street on the track or just to the track... Had fun driving yesterday and this is the road:

Went to our first member day at VIR Feb. 14 and 15. Got one day running full course with RS and new suspension mods. Sweet!!!! Rained Sunday.
Shipped the ACR out to CA. for North American Road Racing Assoc.[old Viper Days] at Buttonwillow with my son. Extremely well run and organized track weekend. Don't need a Viper to participate. Had one GT 3 there. Highly recommended. Check out their web site for schedule[NARRA].
Snowing like crazy today. Hurry up Spring!!!

An RS with over 20k miles and a GT3 being towed through the snow...now this a thread I am proud to be a part of.

Tiger 6, can you elaborate on the mods to your suspension?
