    Can You Identify These Wheels?

    They are BBS forged magnesium racing wheels. They are not meant for street use and are made to race for one season. Street use is out of the question because these wheels experience stress cracks. I tried to buy a set for my Viper and the BBS guys at PRI emphatically said no to street use...

    Can I use 305/30/18 size front tires for racing ?

    305's will throw a bunch of debris onto the paint and sandblast your car. Use the 3M clear tape to protect that side panel. Brad

    Pilot sports VS. Pilot Sports 2? which one.

    Run flats and handling? What an oxymoron... Run flats are too heavy and hurt handling on any car. The Michelin PS are a good all around tire that will give you some very predictable break away characteristics. Their wear factor is harder and the tire will last longer than a PS2. If you...

    What to use to Wax Viper?

    I dumped my Zaino, Meguiar's and everything else under the sun for Adam's Polishes products... www.adamspolishes.com I got tired of spending an entire day to detailing my 10 year old daily driven '96 GTS Coupe. Adam's products are easier to use and give a deeper luster than anything that I...

    Where do you get this urban legend BS? ASK YOUR INSURANCE AGENT IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME! I have several friends in the auto insurance business... including adjusters. If you even had a clue as to what this device could do if adjusted incorrectly, you wouldn't be asking me these questions...

    B&M / Hurst Shifter Owners - Feedback please

    Joe: I have driven both the B&M and the SVSi an dthere is absolutely no comparison between the two. The B&M is soft and dampened feeling with very imprecise gates that offer very numb feedback. I broke 2 of them. On the other hand the SVSi is very precise and notchy feeling. You'll...

    Penskes or Motons?

    I think that Erik likes Penske's because they are US based and their support is superior to Moton/JRZ (which I believe are based in Japan). I have never heard of any complaints from Penske users (other than the suspsnsion being better than the nut holding the wheel). Having this upgrade will...

    Best pads and where to buy?

    Chuck: I used the same pads and on a technical track like Buttonwillow Raceway (3 miles long with 23 turns) I ate the set in a day. On a less technical track like Willow Springs, they do just fine. These pads came highly recommended by the guys at Stop Tech. I don't think that there were...

    Best pads and where to buy?

    Pagids are the best pad that I have ever driven (for track and street) and the most expensive. I believe that Stop Tech sells them. I use Neo synthetic brake fluid... higher boiling point than Motul and the rest (IMO). That's my $.02. Brad

    97 Blue and White RT/10 For sale on EBAY!

    From what I understand, these were special ordered cars for Chrysler executives. This was not available to the general public. Craig Jackson of Barrett- Jackson has one of these. Very nice.
