Welcome New VCO & VPI Team Member
We're pleased to welcome Chris & Claire Misztur and their 1995 RT-10! Chris owns a software and information technology company with a background in automotive. Chris reached out to assist our Viper Parts Initiative with his skills and has joined our team along with an associate, Scott Thompson. and they're helping to take it to the next level!
Chris & Scott have created a parts search program that makes part and part number identification easy, searches the internet for available parts, updates our parts database, tracks demand for unavailable parts to help inform supplier's decisions to produce parts, strengthens supplier's long-term viability by reaching a larger market, and provides "how to" and other technical info from searching 20+ years of Viper forums posts. There's nothing like this supporting any other legacy brand, model and community!

Steer Friends Charity Car Show Viper Display
We're supporting this worthwhile charity on Sat. June 13th in Stouffville along with our friends from the Ferrari and Corvette clubs. There are indoor and outdoor display areas. Due to limited space, we've been asked to curate an indoor display of 6-8 Vipers to include one of each generation along with some special editions. If you'd like to display yours inside with a $100 charity donation that includes admission for 2, please let Bruce know asap. There's lots of outdoor display area for a Viper corral with a $25 donation for two people. Please let Bruce know by April 1 so the show can plan their outdoor corrals.
Sponsor Appreciation
We're pleased to announce the return of these valued VCO sponsors for 2026!
On behalf of your club directors and sponsors, thank you all for your support and friendship. We look forward to seeing you all in the spring and summer!
