    Huge Drag Race Event Today......And the WINNER is.......

    Very mature comment. As I recall, the only "rice" spanking you did was take the win to a 9 second Supra (who's owner daily drives it to school as an only car) simply because he red lighted. Congratulations on running the mid 10s regardless. I could only muster an 11.46 @ 120 on drag radials...

    Crushed by a supra !!!!

    Prashant, Even though there are considerably less twin turbo Supras when compared to Vipers as seen here: http://www.mkiv.com/specifications/retail_sales/retail_sales.htm There are quite a few more Supras in the 9s when compared to Vipers as seen below. [Looks like 15 Supras]...

    How to get downforce on 2001 GTS?

    This might not be directly related to the topic, but is there any way to reduce the drag on the GTS? Unfortunately, it's not the cleanest car through the air at higher speeds. John Hein

    good price for NEW 01 GTS and 02 GTS??

    I looked at those 3 GTSs last year. That's funny they're still sitting out there in the sun 24/7 along the side of the highway! My Sigma Chi brother Micah Parks is a salesman there. Ask for him. Good luck and beware of the troopers on that section of I-30. John Hein <BLOCKQUOTE><font...

    Nice To The Ford...

    One time at a car wash an old man with a spankin new yellow RT/10 was talking to some dropjawed teenage boy about how his Viper was an unbeatable racecar. I said, "Nice car, have you taken it to the track?" He replied, "No, I don't plan on ever taking my car to the race track." I was like...

    Here's what's coming, Get SUM!!!!

    Re: Here\'s what\'s coming, Get SUM!!!! Tony, you mean Houston? The quickest Supras, Vipers, and Vettes in the region will be in Houston this weekend. You really don't want to mess with the Supras in Austin anyway as that's where all the Busa kill videos are filmed, but they won't be home...

    01 Creampuff Dyno Results (and a few questions)...

    MES, his average #s seem about right for a good running Gen 2. Being "abnormally high by 10-15" isn't anything to speak of because dyno runs can fluctuate that much on the same car between runs. If anything, your dyno numbers (off nitrous) seem rather low for the amount of mods you have -...

    RACED A SUPRA

    This thread [Raced a Supra] was made by a Viper owner, so take it up with him. People then said false information (it's always the same people). A Supra owner corrected them. I must have missed the "ricer" discussion while I was getting my 'Powered by MOPAR' tattoo. John H...

    I REALLYwant to get a Viper but i have some questions...

    Oh my God... I won't even touch the subject that you're 17. That's been WORN OUT! I will address the subject of your financial situation. You state you have "saved $16,000 and you will make a few k more over the summer". So logically speaking, you have no job or steady influx of cash...

    NACA duct, wither goest thou?

    Steve, a BS statement? You couldn't sound more biased and jaded. First, I along with the majority of people on this forum are not allowed to purchase a Competition Coupe even if we wanted one. Can you get me one? [&lt;~~answer this] I love to "track" cars as a hobby, not a profession. Call me...

    NACA duct, wither goest thou?

    Mike, no doubt the SRT will be a stronger performer in all performance categories while being more ergonomic and having a more balanced, refined, drivable platform. That being said, I doubt it will be mopping up the old GTS at the track like you said below for one simple reason. It won't be...

    1087 rw hp Viper

    LT5, what does you car run at the track? Do you even own an LT5? I thought it was funny when you were talking about having experience with twin turbo LT5s and SW (who owned the original and another of the very few) said you were lying and knew nothing about what you were saying. LOL. You...

    1087 rw hp Viper

    How hypocritical. The Viper in question in this thread runs on race gas. It also uses nitrous. It also uses slicks and skinnys. So, what was your point again? I'm not sure about the dyno fairy comment as the quicker street cars at any track seem to still be Supras. The Supra is a much more...
