    Why even bother showing 0-60mph times anymore?

    AAHHHH...tradition. Don't forget, cars were doing it in 5-6 secs. back in the day. If I don't see a 0-60 in under 4 secs. now I turn the page. The quarter mile is still valid though.

    Video (long) Comp Coupe on F1 circuit Spa Francorchamp

    Ya gotta love the viper's torque coming out of the corners...makes the Porsches look feeble. Nice vid.

    for all those that want more HP....

    The bottom line IMO is that the viper is not a car for everyone, even among car enthusiasts. There are no laws preventing anyone with a driver's license and sufficient capital from owning one any more than there are laws from preventing anyone with reproductive organs from becoming a parent...

    Interesting Cargo (Shelby GR-1) PICs

    I love the GR-1. It will probably have a HUGE markup too, like the Ford GT, if it makes it to production so I'm not holding my breath to own one of those either.

    Best pads street/track?

    Changing rotors with each pad type would seem to be the best option (if not the easiest). From what little I know, establishing an even transfer layer (of pad material) on the rotor is important for optimum brake performance. Using different pad materials on the rotor without removing the...

    Best pads street/track?

    Do you guys who change the pads back and forth not feel it necessary to scuff the rotors to remove the different pad material?

    Oil Pans ????

    If you track the car, get the 10 qt. pan with windage tray/baffles to prevent oil starvation when cornering hard. Jon B. sells it.

    Preparing my Viper for the track...??

    Speaking of oil puking, you might also want to add a puke can which catches the oil "puking" out from the valve covers instead of it going into the air box and making a mess.

    Preparing my Viper for the track...??

    Cone cooling ducts are simply 3" ducts going from the front fascia to the front brake calipers/rotors. Henry and Janni Cone (on this board) devised these with nice intakes that attach to the fascia and plates to attach the other ends to the lower control arms and great instructions (you have to...

    Wrecked my GTS yesterday, need advice. PICS

    opnwide's suggestion is one to seriously consider if they don't total it and this is an option for you.

    Brake upgrade...which one?

    A bit off topic but I noticed the new ZO6 will have individual pads for each piston. That's 20 brake pads!! That can't be cheap and probably a PITA to replace after every track weekend for the racers here.

    Preparing my Viper for the track...??

    I would install Cone's brake cooling ducts. Your track time will be ruined by boiling brake fluid, I guarantee you, even with the higher boiling point fluids. If you don't, I'd recommend bleeding the brakes after every track session if possible or at least on the lunch break and end of day...

    Just to throw another log on your SRT-10 Coupe fire, the Firepower:

    It's built on the SRT-10 platform. It has an SRT-8 engine with 425 HP. Perhaps someone should start investigating the blower potential for that engine :D

    OH MY GOD! The new coupe is a WOW!

    If you already have an SRT (or want to pick one up for $60K), why wouldn't you just get one of the aftermarket roofs and put it on and save $20K instead of buying the coupe?

    Viper Days - Unlimited and "slicks"

    Re: Viper Days - Unlimited and Tom, Does Archer not handle the sport cups any longer? I'm not sure if I'll have the 5 points to give this year for tires and still stay in super mod. The only other option otherwise (other than slicks) would be the street pilots if I understand correctly. Ray

    New Z06

    Let's see how well this 427 small block holds up to the rigors of track use. The cylinder walls are apparently very thin (iron liners had to be used) and the relatively long stroke has the pistons coming out of the block so much that they had to have skirts. We know the viper engine is durable.

    New Viper Coupe at LA auto show

    Keep in mind that the CC has a long overhang in the back and this significantly impacts the overall appearance. I feel that increasing the overhang on the new coupe would help some.

    New Coupe Media Pics ... 5MP+ Previews 640x480 inside

    I don't care for either one but, and I hate to say it, the vette's styling is more consistent throughout.

    Viper Days - Unlimited and "slicks"

    Re: Viper Days - Unlimited and Chuck, They mean Michelin slicks. I ran sport cups in the challenge series in supermod this past year. Sport cups then became difficult to get for some reason and they let me run michelin slicks the last couple events in super mod. I got them from Archer...

    HELP. installed bm shifter in gen 2 and problem...

    The shifter handle is shorter so there's less leverage too. My B&M took two hands for reverse initially but became easier over time. There shouldn't be a problem with the bolts.

    Black Coupe...

    Agree, needs more of a fastback and a non-protruding rear bumper.

    Help, vacuum bleeding problems

    I previously used a vacuum system to bleed the brakes. It works if you are patient and don't create too much of a vacuum (which sucks air into the hose). I switched to the speed bleeders and it works better and no confusing air bubbles. Be sure to get the "IV bag" with it....it attaches to the...
