1st at local show and shine
 On my trip to Calgary I started the trip with the Laker's Car Show in William's Lake (211miles from home). I got first in class and a nice plaque. The trip went well too since the accountant told me how much taxes I had to pay and it was less than I thought. Made a small burnout vid and took some pics for the magazine article. I logged my mileage this weekend down a twisty, hilly mountain highway and got an amazing 28mpg (imp. gal.) When I got to the big (smooth and straight) highway I drove at 70mph/122kph and got only about 23mpg. I'm going to try 70 mph in 5th gear next time and see if my mileage improves at the lower speeds.

Re: 1st at local show and shine
And still no pics. You'd think you would have learned from your first attempt that -

Re: 1st at local show and shine
When I drove the car home from Chicago (2,000mi.+) I noticed that the mileage was better at 75mph than at 65. I figured I got 23mpg on average. When I had to slow down to drive on snow and ice the mileage went down to tubes ... and the car became dangerous. I don't think the tires have any traction under 40F.
 The Viper is the worst car I've ever driven in the snow, period. Ted Last edited by kcobean; 06-12-2007 at 03:02 PM. |

Re: 1st at local show and shine
Thanks jdoc. I'm really enjoying the car! Planning on getting a few "firsts in class" this summer. Car's been working perfect and is a joy to drive.

 Vipers are not snow mobiles use your SUV in the snow and save the Viper for nice days.
