    Why Vipers don't handle well?

    Re: Why Vipers don\'t handle well? The problem is the definition of handling. Some of the magazine editors look at handling as the way the car feels, how much feedback it gives you, how progressive or abrupt the transitions are, etc. A lot of them also can't drive so they most times will pick a...

    Anyone Tow their Viper with a Dakota?

    Ken, I tow my viper/kwikload with a Dakota Quad Cab 4wd 5.9 with the tow package (3.89 rear). At the heaviest, I've had 1 passenger and maybe 300 lbs. of stuff in the bed. No problems going through the Shasta and Siskiyous mountain range from Northern Ca to Portland OR. I was told that the long...

    MIchelin Pilot Sports on the track (road course)

    How do the Kumhos compare to the Cups and the Hoosiers ? They have a treadwear rating of 50. From that you would assume they would slot between the Hoosiers and the Cups. My track wheels are 17" and I don't think Michelin has the sizes for those wheels.

    What are the best pads on the Stop Techs??

    I have many excuses :smirk: I just took Monday off a couple of weeks ago for the NorCaL Racing Club and can't really do that too often. Wife has vacation plans and I'm thinking of going to Portland again to join the Oregon VCA for their track event so I need to save my vacation days.Seems...

    Rotors - Options, etc.?

    Agree with SoCal Rebell. My additions: 1. Why does the Tech think the rotors need to be replaced? Assuming the same type of use then the longevity will be the same for the same type of mettalurgy, cooling, thickness of rotor that you will use as a replacement. Improve those 3 and longevity also...

    Carolinas VCA Members complete 8 hour Endurance Race! - VERY LONG

    Janni, congratulations to the team and thank you for the write up. Seems like there should have been more viperheads supporting your valiant effort but maybe I missed something in the write up. I was trying to figure out what would have been the maximum time in the pits to fix the power...

    MIchelin Pilot Sports on the track (road course)

    Doc, why do you think the tires have lost some grip ? With less tread it should actually be better. Tire temp, tire pressure, track conditions are also factors. I don't have the Sports but the MXXX are good once I get rid of the old hard rubber on the surface.

    Q on brake balance, opinions wanted

    Clint, no problem. Post the info when you find it. Tom, a larger MC will put more pressure to both front and rear. Put a prop valve to decrease the increased pressure to the front basically getting it to match the unchanged piston sizes. A second prop valve for the rear turned up to allow for...

    Q on brake balance, opinions wanted

    "Changing to another master cylinder won't change front to rear balance, since the MC bore is straight through and not staggered. Both ends will get the same pressure." *********************************************************** Tom's right, I forgot to add that you need an aftermarket prop...
