    355/25/19's and a Paxton!

    Re: 355/25/19\'s and a Paxton! Suspension helps so much with traction. To give you an example, my 883 RWHP GTS does not/will not break loose in 2nd gear under full throttle when I had the Pilot Sport Cup tires on the rear. The Car squats too much and plants that power. I have been in Turbo...

    The bottom line

    I don't know this for a fact, but I read somewhere on here some time back that there were about 30,000 vettes made per year vs. about 3 to 5 thousand Vipers. If this is accurate, then the 10-1 ratio explains why you can stand by a freeway and see a Vette every couple of minutes vs. not seeing a...

    Painted hood louvers and ghost stripes

    Does he sell it in solid black vs the fade (for the hood vents) ? Would be ideal vs paint, this way you can take it off if you sell the car and the new owner dont like it. -M

    Best looking SRT - period!!!

    Re: Best looking SRT - period!!! - AUSTIN, WHERE ARE YOU BUDDY? Thinking about it. Need Austin to do me up a mock up in red. Austin, can you change the silver car above to red (with slightly darker red striped (ghost stripes) ? Not quite as much contrast as there is on the silver car. More...

    Best looking SRT - period!!!

    I'm not big on stripes on an SRT-10, but I do have to admit so far I like the two SRT10's I have seen with similar color paint stripes. Your silver with the gray stripes looks really good I think. Deans orange car with the lighter orange stripes looks good as well. Wonder what a red car would...

    > Supercharged or turbo\'d SRT-10\'s in the San Diego area < Any of you with forced air in or around the San Diego area? Coming from a stock SRT-10 and a 883 RWHP GTS, I wanted to see if I can get a ride with one of you guys and see how the thing feels. Planning on going forced air very, very...

    Painted hood louvers and ghost stripes

    Oh, who has painted their diffuser? Been thinking about painting mine black. Can't cost more than a couple hundred buck to do, right?

    Painted hood louvers and ghost stripes

    Hi Doug -- long time no talk to. You guys like the two tone pain, or prefer the solid color?

    Painted hood louvers and ghost stripes

    Let me say though, that if I did repaint the car, I would make it look like Dean's orange SRT10. I even like the graphic on the side -- is that his company logo? Looks better than the 'Viper SRT10' writing, that is for sure. Is there a better shot of that graphic? It's sick looking --...

    Painted hood louvers and ghost stripes

    I don't feel like repainting my car, and quite frankly I like it in red, so what kind of ghost striping would look good on a red car? I would imagine going a shade darker would be best. Is Dean's stripes painted on or are they some kind of vinyl? Also, hard to tell from the pics, but does...

    Great track day with the Vettes. Still need 50rwhp. Ideas?

    The Texas finals will BE my 20th actual event -- an anniversary of sorts! Just keep an eye out for the NIGHTMARE NEON! How many seconds faster should a Viper on slicks be than a Dodge Neon with DOT tires at that Texas World Speedway track? Chuck, I believe this is around a 2 min track, so...

    Painted hood louvers and ghost stripes

    What do you guys think of the painted hood louvers and ghost stripes on the car? Anybody see Deans car in person that can comment on it? Some things look great in the photos but then look cheesy in person. Also, who's front end is that? Are those autoform dive planes on the front? -M

    Best looking SRT - period!!!

    Sheet, I just noticed in some of the pics it was at West Coast Viper, and it's parked next to my race car. So this car is in the San Diego area? I got the same exact wheels, same color. Where does Mike live? Mike, you need to bring that over to my house bro and have a brew with me. -Manny

    GRAYMAN'S WRECK & FIRE AT OC,MARYLAND (PICS)

    Re: GRAYMAN\'S WRECK & FIRE AT OC,MARYLAND (PICS) Man, on CSI, those cats not only would know what happened to your car, but also tell you the age and hair color of the lasty pretty girl that say in your passenger seat. All the good detectives work for TV. Sheeesh. -M

    any pics of the 2006 yellow coupe??

    Get a new PC. I see a bunch of pics. Only the yellow with black stripes looks good. The orange might look good with black stripes. I still see no reason why to get a coupe for $83K when you can pick up an 03 SRT10 for $60K, throw $5K - 10K into it for a roof, side skirts, rear spoiler and...

    Great track day with the Vettes. Still need 50rwhp. Ideas?

    Man, 100 track days. I'd love to hit the track more. I've got less than 20 track days still, but am hoping to get 1 or 2 track days per month from now on. Thinking back, are there things that happened at around a certain # of track days that changed the way you drive? I'm still trying to...

    >> New SRT-10 Rear Deck Lids/wings <<

    The Henny front clip looks a lot better too as it's all one piece vs. a bolted on look like autoform has. Are these the only two companies that have body kits for sale for the SRT10? Hopefully autoform can redo their front splitter/fascia in the future, as I thnk it holds back a lot of...

    >> New SRT-10 Rear Deck Lids/wings <<

    I want it strictly for looks. A little downforce wouldn't be bad (say 100 pounds at 150 MPH) but you have to remember that I believe these wings are just mounted to the trunk, so too much downforce is like putting all that weight on the lip of that trunk. More than 100 pounds might be...

    Great track day with the Vettes. Still need 50rwhp. Ideas?

    Sounds to me like you might have thought you were coming out of the corners at the same speed, but weren't. If his car is coming out of the corner just 5 mph faster than you and hits the apex better and can put more of the power down sooner than you can, he's going to walk you, even with less...
