    Car & driver on ZO6 Performance a little lower but fast.

    Staying in the powerband is not hard if you A) Have a close ratio transmission and B) Have a wide "enough" powerband. For instance high HP Supras have what most consider "peaky" powerbands and low low-end torque. Yet with my HKS TT Supra (786 RWHP boost only) I was able to run a 10.41 @ 139.6...

    Car & driver on ZO6 Performance a little lower but fast.

    Ask ANY serious dragracer what influences MPH at the 1/4 mile more, HP or torque..... From your post I can tell you are not a drag racer.

    help with deciding fuel pumps..pics inside...

    If you want good solid realible fuel pumps (which are also inexpensive to boot) get a couple of 255L/H Walbros. This is what a lot of the Supra guys use and are good to ~1000 RWHP for the pair on boosted cars. You could always do 2 stock Viper pumps.....

    Car & driver on ZO6 Performance a little lower but fast.

    Torque has very little to do with MPH in the 1/4 mile, HP/weight ratio does. The redline (from a previous article) for the Z06 is 7K RPM's. If it makes an honest 500 HP the car is good enough for about 125 MPH. But much like the Viper, Ford GT, etc. it could be underrated and may be making a...

    GM reveals new Z06 Performance specs!

    No question that the stock Supra's Getrag's shifter is better than the T56's shifter (it was also much better than my 996TT's shifter). Shifting a Supra is easier than a Viper, launching it is definitely tougher than a Viper. As far as the #'s, the HP calculator on Doug Levin site is wrong...

    My personalized plate Idea

    The plate on my Supra reads: VPERKLR, funny thing is that some people (not even Viper owners) would get upset and ask me why I hate Vipers :rolleyes:

    Power with basic mods

    That was probably on a Dynojet right? The dyno day Phoenix is talking about is a different type that yields somewhat lower #'s. Phoenix, I'm planning on dynoing the snake this Satruday, are you going? You should also come to our (lots of Supras, a few Vipers, one Lambo, etc.) Globe run on Sunday.

    DLM Supercharger for sale

    Hey Jim, Have not been able to take any pics of the snake or the new Supra for that matter mainly due to the weather and the fact that I am between houses! I'm living at one of my brother's guest house till my new house is done and he doesn't have a spare spot on the garage, sooooooooo the...

    Power with basic mods

    Rule of thumb is ~15% loss. And the right way to calculate is to take the RWHP % and divide by .85 if it's 15% loss, .82 if it's 18% loss or .81% for 19% loss. This is because you are starting with X HP at the flywheel and losing power through the drivetrain, not starting with X HP at the wheels...

    > Viper Stuff I no Longer need -- You want it? <

    Manny, a good friend of mine got into a small accident with his 97 B&amp;W GTS and his hood and front facia got slightly cracked. How much do you want for those 2 pieces? He lives here in AZ so going to pick it up in SD would be easy. You can email me at [email protected] if you like with the...

    Extended warranty question

    Steve, first of all THANKS for your post! Here's the scenario. I am looking at a 2001 Viper GTS that was 1st registered on Feb or 2001. The car only has 21K miles and doesn't have a salvage title and is 100% stock. The warranty (3/36)has unfortunately expired. Being that the car is in it's...

    Extended warranty question

    Citty, Tommy, thanks for the responses. Tommy, would I have to buy the car from a Chrysler dealer? Or can it be any dealer? Thanks!

    WOO HOO! Finally - first race, and it was a great one!

    Definitely wasn't me and I don't know many people with 996TT's. I bet that car you raced was modded. My 996TT has a few mods and is "supposed" to be good for ~500 HP/TQ. But it's dead even with a friend's automatic BPU Supra (~410 RWHP) from a ~60 MPH to 120 MPH roll. BPU Supras like his are...

    Extended warranty question

    Hello all, I am currently looking at a number of Viper GTS'. I have a question, I understand that none of the aftermarket warranty companies will cover the Viper so I'm left with a DC warranty. My question is, can a Viper whose warranty has expired be covered under the extended waranty? My...
