    Viper road racing?

    Supercar Yes, we communicate here publicly, or privately with PM. During the season, we know we will see each other every 4 weeks, so we wait and do most of out bench racing and kill stories in person. But, we do get a good one going one here occasioanly.

    My 01 failed state inspection...help...

    The operator said it failed because of Catalyst - not ready, Evap - not ready, and O2 Sens Htr - not ready.

    Got 'er a little sideways today

    Re: Got \'er a little sideways today How long is a set of these tires good for before they start to lose their performance? 8 - 10 heat cycles, depending on your lap times. How long does it typically take for these monsters to get warm. 1 lap at approx. 75% I have no idea on the street!

    Viper torque rating specs

    All 3 should be in any good mechanics tool box. Also, a 100 - 250 ft.lbs would be my suggestion. And, we never use a torque wrench within 20% of either limit.

    trans fluid

    Tom, you are correct sir. Me, I use Motul in the engine, tranny & diff. But then again, I only road race the car. O.K. approx. 100 miles on the street a year. From past experience, the Redline MTL will make it easier to shift when cold, but harder when hot ie. raod racing. The Motul is the...

    A REAL GTS-R going down the Mantorp 1/4 mi

    That could be the sister car to the ex Oreca Viper Michael Greenburg drives at each Viper Days event. With their clutch arrangement and road race slick, I can understand the difficult launch. Did you notice the uphill drag strip!
