    Elite Motorsports Side of the Story

    BadVenm - in fairness to Scott - and not of course knowing what he told you other than what is posted here - to run a 10.5 on all motor is going to take a very good suspension setup, and some very sticky tires - read between the lines of what 1Tony1 has been saying - he knows what it takes. If...

    VCA

    Thats right MP you came on here carrying an olive branch and trying to help make the whole event a success. Keep going the way you are and you'll show the whole community just how helpful you can be to bring all parties together here. Sorry I got in the way - I'm done here. But I'm still...

    VCA

    I don't believe Joe lied - he was very open and frank. I came away from the conversation with a lot of respect for the VCA and a better understanding of the climate in which they have to operate. Cudaman said it best - this is a great thing even without the brochure. It is excellent to see...

    VCA

    I wasn't speaking as an official of anything - I gave an opinion based on speaking to the one person who would know what the VCA was doing Do with it what you want but your opinion is only assumption. If the VCA had made a decision or even a recommendation to pull the brochure I think the...

    If there is an issue with the brochure it is something between DODGE and Dr Roof to work through. The VCA did not stop the brochure and they continue to support the event.

    The beginning of a very bad trend.

    You guys worry too much. Cut DC some slack - just because GM have been beating their chest about a 500hp light weight C6 for months, and Ford has been crowing over its GT - everyone thinks that DC is dying because it chooses to be quiet... Remember the ME 4-12? How it arrived "suddenly" at...

    Zakspeed Viper at the Ring[vid 40mb]

    That's not the 650hp version for sure. My guess is if they claim 420hp it is either at the wheels or it runs restrictor plates and competes in a stock class. It was still a good drive around the ring.

    Scary Moment Yesterday.

    Good points Viperfreak - I'm an ex bean counter myself but am the first to admit - bean counters with little marketing nouse and poor sound business judgment (and no they don't train that into them) - make LOUSY corporate managers. They strain at gnats but will swallow a camel - that plus the...

    Warning about Elite Motorsports

    Well - in that case I can understand the moderators being cautious. For the most part this site is run pretty well and this thread by its own existence is proof members can speak up if they are having first hand experience of a problem. Carry on the good work mods As you were Lou... :D

    Warning about Elite Motorsports

    This site is the voice of Viper owners and enthusiasts not tuners. If moderators ever forget that - its time for the membership to issue a reminder. No statements made by forum members are necessarily the opinion of the VCA board, moderators - or even fellow members - but we each have the...

    Scary Moment Yesterday.

    Glad you are ok Steve, This is a shocking thing to happen - and something there is no real excuse for. Car manufacturers have been making cars with power steering for decades now, with cars lasting hundreds of thousands of miles and never suffering a failure like this. The Viper - both...

    Zeroshift: synchroless T-56, "Fastest shifting transmission"

    Re: Zeroshift: synchroless T-56, wow - this sounds awesome... so if you can take your time with the shift, and you obviously do not have the clutch engaged or you'd be revving the brown stuff out of the engine - where is neutral, and is there any need for a clutch pedal at all?

    Zeroshift: synchroless T-56, "Fastest shifting transmission"

    Re: Zeroshift: synchroless T-56, Zeroshift - would it be fair to say that one advantage of modifying a sequential box over an H-pattern would be to eliminate the dog shift across the gate - e.g. 2nd to 3rd in particular that seems to catch to lot of drivers out when they try to rush? Let's...

    Zeroshift: synchroless T-56, "Fastest shifting transmission"

    Re: Zeroshift: synchroless T-56, I've been communicating with Phil and I have to say that when these things come along sometime in 2006 they'll be quite something to look out for. I think the idea is a winner. The UK guys are lucky they will get a years head start on the rest of the...

    Highest HP Naturally Aspirated Modified V10 is made by who?

    The LPE package cost in the region of $30k - give or take - someone here could probably narrow that down a bit - the point is you want a serious all motor - it costs. There is a reason for that. The time it takes to build a top quality engine is huge - very few understand this. From what you...

    Zeroshift: synchroless T-56, "Fastest shifting transmission"

    Re: Zeroshift: synchroless T-56, \"Fastest shifting transmission\" Very interesting. You still have however something designed around the T-56 which will always have its limitations above 900rwtq. The Quaife is a good unit. The Holinger I believe is the best of the race Viper boxes...

    VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!!

    Re: VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!! Very simple - forget dynos - they'll never prove anything because they can't simulate high speed. Take a stock Viper - time it from 100mph to 150mph - repeat 3-4 times both ways and take an average. In same temps, wind and conditions - repeat with...

    Opinions on this new Viper VARARAM intake?

    Very simple - forget dynos - they'll never prove anything because they can't simulate high speed. Take a stock Viper - time it from 100mph to 150mph - repeat 3-4 times both ways and take an average. In same temps, wind and conditions - repeat with Vipair or Varrroooomm or whatever the hell it...
