    V10 NATIONALS ALL A HOAX!!!!

    I've raced in two V-10 nats now, and I never knew the double breakout rule. I had always assumed that closest to dial in would win. To me, this makes it more easy to "punish" a sandbagger if you're running real close to dial in. I was hoping to "punish" that compcoupe running in the 12.0 class...

    Any HRE 540's for sale

    Re: Any HRE 540\'s for sale You've seen my car, Roadking. Those 546s are my favorite. If you bought those, we could have twins! We could call each other at night and see what each other are going to wear and stuff. That would be sooooo cooooool. If I ever upgrade to 19s, I'll make you a...

    Any pic's of a GTS with 19's and lowered ?

    Re: Any pic\'s of a GTS with 19\'s and lowered ? As far as living with a lowered Viper, you just DEAL with it! Most people would think we're nuts driving such an impractical car to begin with. My front facia is not going to win any beauty awards, but I track my car as well. I just tell...

    Any pic's of a GTS with 19's and lowered ?

    Re: Any pic\'s of a GTS with 19\'s and lowered ? A lower profile tire kindof defeats the purpose of trying to fill up the wheel well. Plus you have to deal with harsher ride. I didn't notice a big dif in ride going from my 18s to the 19s because the profile was the same. I would also bet...

    Any pic's of a GTS with 19's and lowered ?

    Re: Any pic\'s of a GTS with 19\'s and lowered ? I advised Forgeline about GTSs rubbing when lowered. The fender will catch the wheel about 1/4" in. I asked if they had any way to correct their overaggressive backspacing, and they said no, except to machine 5mm off the hub, but that wouldn't...

    Viper mag came today!Delete pages....

    I thought the centerfold was a great idea. How about making it a monthly thing, and adding a 3month calendar in the corner so that I have an official reason to hang it in my office.

    Don't know about Vipers making you fat, but take it from a dentist: Growing a beard and mustache will make your teeth ugly! :D

    What is the best way to get around 50hp more on a Gen I Motor

    I only got about 20hp out of my Belangers. I started with 370 with smooth tubes, k&Ns. Then 378 with high flow cats and 3" dynomax race mufflers (2 1/2" elbow and flex). 399hp with the belangers and 3" complete exhaust. Final torque is 375ft lbs. My $2500 probably got about 35-40 hp...

    What kind of gears do you guys have or reccomend?

    The 19" pilots will not spin easier than the 18"s. The sidewall is actually taller on the the 19" wheels (345-30 vs 335-30) UNLESS you have the 19" runflats. Also, a Viper with stock gears can do 118-119mph in third, so you won't have to shift to 4th. If you are shifting to 4th at the finish...

    1.482 60ft time in stock class

    I was there. Placed 4th due to inconsistent tranny. I guess after 40K miles its time for a new clutch. Anyway, I was running 12.03-11.97 on drag radials when I hit every shift. Everyone had drag radials, it seemed. Without, I was running 12.4s in the summer heat. The guy that beat me to...

    Forgot to latch front soft top latches at VOI8, OUCH!

    Same thing happened to me last year in Dallas at the regionals. Mine broke into 4 pieces. I walked up and down the highway for 10 minutes before I finally realized that the top was still attached to the car! (although folded backwards). Luckily no paint damage.

    Got pulled over on the way home from VOI

    I got pulled over,too, but for front plate violation. I just popped the hood, and we took a couple of pictures with the lights flashing and the cops posing. It was all cool. Lucky I had my camera with me. Unfortunately, the cop has a hotmail address, and they don't accept large attachments.

    Hit a dog on the way down to VOI

    I hit a skunk on the way to the V-10 nationals. I hit one going to viperdays last year. What's up with these critters? No fear of the snake?

    N E W C O U P E

    Re: N E W CO U P E Yeah, I'll respond. I LIKE the way my RT/10 looks with its toupee. I think the flat black gives the RT a "chopped" look, maybe a nostalgic look from the 50's. Remember the RT was designed to be the modern Cobra, not a grand touring car like the GTS. My wife still prefers...

    N E W C O U P E

    Re: N E W C O U P E I don't think it's too bad. I do agree that the rear glass needs to be longer, and that lowering it makes it look much better. It still looks better than the new vette.
