    Want to Drive on a Race Track? Want help?

    The first time on a track can be intimidating, so this is a great way to experience it. The Driving Line, Braking Points, Turn In Point, Apex, and Exit Point can be a lot to absorb the first few times you go on a track. We have put together a School that starts with Car Control theory and...

    2006 Chrysler Press Conference

    MPG seems pretty poor for the RAM 1500. My SRT10 RAM Quad Cab gets 9MPH pulling a trailer with a Viper. Can do 12 MPG if I follow the speed limit. thats in a 5400 pound RAM with 4:56 gears. I would expect a HEMI to get the same or better MPG than the Tacoma?

    2006 Chrysler Press Conference

    Interesting! One observation, in general US car companies build what the they think we want not what we actually want. Perfect example the SRT Experience has been running for about two years. They ask what you like best etc. At the SRT Exp. I attended most drivers like 95% said the SRT8...

    Brakes feedback

    Do you plan to use the brakes? If yes dump the 96 cast :nono: wheels. These wheels have failed at track events. But if the upgrade is for the street and/or Bling then it is ok to go with the smaller upgrade kits.

    New Battery Suggestions

    Get a factory battery and use a battery tender to keep the battery charged when the car is not run for a couple weeks. The Optima may or may not fit depending on the battery tray Z dimension to frame which varies from car to car.

    Cold weather tire pressure

    Pretty complex question - Tire temperature is critical to max grip. In cold weather grip drops as the tire compound gets harder. On the street as the temperature drops so will grip so adjust the gas and brake application to the temperature. Road surface is another critical element to consider...
