    Irresponsible Leadership

    For those of you in the know, you will see a post by an officer (not just one of the many board members, an officer), publicly saying the VCA raffle is "illegal" and their raffle (oh sorry, door prize) is somehow legal and NOT elitist. You would think after nearly 2 years these guys would pay...

    KC Area Viper Tech?

    I am in Topeka and am in need of a good tech. I have a '97 GTS with Stoptech ST-60 fronts and ST-40 rear brakes. I am having significant brake issues at the track. Does anyone know of a good Viper tech in the KC area? I recently moved here from Dallas... TIA.

    Gen II GTS Brakes

    What do you guys think is the absolute best brake kit for a GTS that is driven exclusively at the road course? I run slicks, motons, quaife, and 580 rwhp. Price is irrelevant- $5K, $10K, whatever... Thanks-

    Road Course Racers- Penskes or Motons?

    I am going to upgrade my re-valved Koni shocks to Penskes or Motons and wanted some opinions from those who have raced with either of these on the road course. The Motons are just under $6K with springs/spacers/etc, and the Penskes are quite a bit less. Just curious if anyone has a strong...

    Does anyone know how to contact Bobby Archer? He isn't responding to emails, and the number at Archer motorsports/Viperspeed in Ft. Worth is no longer working... TIA, Shawn

    Anyone need a stock LSD or 3:45 gears?

    I just replaced my dif with a Quaife and my 3:45 gears with 3:33s. The LSD ('97 GTS) has 20K miles on it. It has been raced on the road course, but has always been cooled. No problems whatsoever with the LSD. The gears have just under 10K on them and are in good shape as well, but I would...

    Trade 3.33 gears for 3.45 and cash?

    I am upgrading to a quaife currently, and was planning on replacing my 3.45s with 3.33s. The shop that I was going to use was holding a set of 3.33s for me, and then subsequently sold them out from under me. I now have my dif out and disassembled and am in need of some 3.33s. I will trade my...

    ? about Motons

    For the road course racers out there, I am going to upgrade my re-valved Koni's to Motons this spring. I was contemplating the 2-way adjustable Motorsports, but the Club Sports are about $2K less. Are the Clubsports acceptable for a pretty much dedicated track car, or is it worth the extra...

    3.33 gears

    Does anyone know where I can find a set of 3.33 gears? Unfortunately, I was unable to get a set from Unitrax recently before they sold out. I currently have 3.45s and a stock dif, and plan on upgrading to a Quaife with 3.33s. TIA, Shawn

    18" Hoosiers (new) for sale

    18\" Hoosiers (new) for sale I have 4 new Hoosiers for sale if anyone is interested. Fronts are 305/30/18 and rears are 335/30/18. They have never been heat cycled or tracked at all. My 18" Goodyear Eagle slicks lasted a lot longer than I expected, so I won't be able to use these tires this...

    Annoying Autotrader Scammers are becoming more prevalent!

    To most of you, this is a repost- to the others, consider it a public service announcement. I have placed 2 vehicles on Autotrader in the last 3 months (most recently my 500rwhp 300ZX TT in an effort to pay off my GTS), and have received no less than 4 scammer emails. The present jerk-off sent...

    Average MSR Sunday with Not-So-Average Tires

    Well I am getting sick of hearing about all this "Viper getting beat by Evo, vette, etc" crap lately, so I wanted to share a little glimpse of the past Sunday at MSR. To refresh everyone's memory, it was my first time on my new shoes: Goodyear Eagle slicks on 18" Purners. These tires are...

    Window falls off-track

    The passenger window on my '97 GTS keeps falling off-track when fully lowered. I can manually raise the window, and after I get it started manually the motor raises/lowers it without a problem. I suspect there is a problem with the connection at the base of the window and the track rails, but...

    Reflections on my Viper at the track (for the first time)

    Well, after much debate for the past few months, I ended up purchasing a 1997 GTS coupe. It is a great car, with 17K miles on the chassis and 5K on the engine. It is an LPE engine with just over 500/500 rwhp/ft lbs torque, and has lots of suspension mods, roll bar, harnesses, and Wilwood...
