    VIPER ALLEY. A Poll ... Please Vote!

    Many of you may be aware that the Snake Pit (Off Topic) is occasionally at odds with the law. Some of you may also know that over the last year or so there have been periodic rumblings for a new forum dubbed Viper Alley. The Alley would be a place where we could have - shall we say - more...

    HELP! Need G-Force R1 315/35/17s

    Yeah, I know they suck and they're archaic, but I've got a pair of sticker 335s for the rears just languishing in the garage and I don't wanna let em go to waste. I'm running Purner custom track wheels hence the huge 315 front tires that I need. I'm having a hell of a time finding these...

    Gen2 vs Gen1 track performance ... Some observations

    Finally managed to get to the track with a Gen2 car. I'd driven my 95 RT at the track fairly regularly for about 6 years before selling it for a 99 GTS. Well just as I was about to track that car for the first time it gets totalled (whole other story). So I reload with a brand new 01 GTS and...

    Street Tires On The Track. Got Any Alignment Tips?

    Usually run Hoosiers, but I'm going to try the Pilot Sports this time around. First time on the track in a gen II GTS (lots of time in my '95) and I want to see what it's like in (mostly) stock trim before I begin using the Hoosiers. So what I need to know is, does anybody out there have any...

    Dumb Tire Question.

    Can some of you tire experts out there tell me exactly why we need our huge 335s as opposed to say 300s or even 275s? Is it for show or go? Here's the basis of my question -> I'm pretty sure that for any given tire pressure, different width tires will all produce *nearly* the same area of...

    Just Got My New BumbleBee Viper From Woodhouse

    2001 GTS, yellow w/black stripes! Been viperless since my '99 got splattered last month ... was gettin the sweats and shakes. I LOVE the yellow/blk look! Was really skeptical about the new yellow ... no offense but I never liked the genI yellow. Too pale and wimpy looking. Hadn't seen any...

    Aluminum Flywheels

    John, can explain why so bad for street? For drag racing I can understand ... less inertia, therefore probably a hard time maintaining stable rpm at the line, plus greater tendency to bog. Is the bogging issue that bad for normal street use? How about in a road race scenario ... does the...

    Hennessey Motorsports BUYER BEWARE

    While you have my sympathy, I should say your research of the various tuners should have included a trip through this board's archives. You would have found numerous vocal customers, both satisfied and otherwise. The only real way to safeguard yourself when it comes to such custom work is to...

    Just flipped to the dark side

    I just traded in my beloved '95 that I've had for 6 yrs. I know I'm a traitorous dog to the RT family ... I went for a silver '99 coupe. 3k miles and so clean and perfect you could almost lick the oil pan. Hennessey headers and exhaust, lowered, airbox opened up w/smoothies and K&Ns. Bought...
