    Has anyone participated in any of the land speed record events?

    I just watched the movie "The World's Fastest Indian" and got a little excited about trying one of these events. Has anyone here done it before and if so, where. Please share your experience. I have done the Silver State Classic before in the 150 mph class but the tech speed for that is only...

    Re: FYI... Local dealer has \'97 GTS w/ 1,400 miles Too bad it is not blue & white. I would have been interested. Bob K

    Mopar Performance Computer part number P4510172?

    I also have the Mopar controller and my AC works fine. I was disappointed in performance increase however. After installing the Mopar race exhaust, race engine controller and K&N intake system I gained only 12 rwhp and 17 rwtorq. This was on the same dyno machine one week apart. Bob K

    Winters over...

    You're going to kill someone if you keep driving on the wrong side of the road!! We are having one of the worst winters ever here in Washington state - first floods, then high winds with tons of damage and power outage, and then snow with cold temperatures. I lost 3 big trees and have branches...

    VCA MEMBERS PLEASE READ - WINDOW STICKERS

    I have the original window stickers for my '02 FE GTS and my '06 FE SRTC framed and hanging in my garage. Both say that the car was built especially for me. I do not have the sticker for my '96 GTS and would really like to get one, so count me in. Bob K

    Aftermarket Exhaust

    I have the race exhaust and the race engine controller with no O2 sims and I have gotten no check engine lights and all of the accessories work. I have misplaced the dyno sheets so I can't comment on the A/F. Bob K

    Any coupes with this spoiler?

    I just got an email from John Henne$$ey stating that he would give us special pricing if we ordered before the end of November ... $2,200 unpainted. He didn't mention a minimum number of orders for this price. No payment up front , just the names on a list. COD or Paypal when they are done. By...

    Which Picture doesn't fit?

    Re: Which Picture doesn\'t fit? I would agree with C because it has no number. On the other hand, B has a "0" in front of the 4 which seems odd to me. Bob K

    Any coupes with this spoiler?

    That looks like Henne$$ey's new wing for the SRT Coupe. If so it is pricey - about 3K. I do like the looks of it though. Bob K

    What is the latest condition of the Barber instructor injured?

    First of all, I think it takes ba11s to be an instructor for such an event and I would never do it. If I did I would want to know the experience of the driver whose car I was about to ride in. During my track session at VOI9 I had 4 different instructors and not one asked me what my track...

    Adjustment for window "auto down" feature when opening door?

    Re: Adjustment for window \"auto down\" feature when opening door? I have had this problem with the driver's side door. It stays up so that when you shut the door the glass hits the painted surface of the roof edge. I took it in to the dealer and they replaced the window mechanism which seemed...

    FED-X From VOI did not happen

    Paul, I brought a lot of styff back for others in the trailer. If I had known you needed some help I would have taken everything except the dirty laundry ( unless you had some HAZMAT containers). Bob K

    Swirl Prevention ?

    I was told by a car detailer to apply all polish in a front to back to front motion instead of the circular motion that most people use. Any miner scratches then would not be in circles but rather straight lines which would not be nearly as noticeable. For what it's worth. Bob K

    Just returned from the Silver State Classic!

    I agree, Fred. I also noticed that the 1/2 mile shootout results are post in the order of the fastest run whereas the 1 mile are post in the order of the first run only. That seems a bit odd to me. All three of my runs were with my navigator on board which would add about 200 lbs. to my weight...

    Just returned from the Silver State Classic!

    The event this year was more exciting than the last one I attended. There were more newer high performance cars making for a much more interesting car show (for me anyway). There were dozens of Corvettes (possibly 10 new Z06's), 3 Ford GT's, 9 or 10 Vipers, 3 Ferarris including an F40, 1 Lambo...

    Gasoline at the track - VOI?

    You're going to need more than a gallon! Actually, where I live we have had some of the highest gas prices in the country so Iv'e gotten used to Shelling (pun)out money for it. I have 6 vehicles that use premium fuel. Bob K

    !@#$%*% Discount Tire!!!!

    I had a similar experience recently with Discount Tire. I had them mount new Pilot Sport Cups on all 4 whells. I told the young man doing the work to be extra careful with my $1200 apiece wheels and that I didn't want any scratches on the car. I watched them work and noted that they had some...

    How many Vipers doing the Silver State Classic?

    Remember, you will be at 6500 ft elevation so expect to lose about 25% of your power. None-the-less I plan to run it in my '96 GTS (number 183). I will look forward to seeing you guys there. Bob K

    Tiny exhaust specs in the paint

    If you look at these spots with a magnifying glass you will see that many are tiny burn holes in the paint. You can scrub with all sorts of things and they won't come out. Believe me, I have tried. It is only present on my '96 which has exhaust mods. My '02 has no problem. I suspect hot exhaust...

    Pilot Sport Cups - Are there left and right tires?

    Chuck, The inner half of the tire has a totally different tread design than the outer half so there is no question as to how they should be mounted. I cannot find a directional indicator on the tires. Bob K

    Pilot Sport Cups - Are there left and right tires?

    I just had a new set of Cups put on and noticed that the tread design on all 4 is identical. This means that the inner half of the tire has grooves that angle back on the right side of the car but angle forward on the left side. To me that doesn't seem right. I checked the old set that were...
