    R.I.P. Jerome

    Just so everybody knows Jerome died of a massive heart attack as he slept. He had posted 6 days earlier he was concerned his BP went up to 190/120. Despite 4 pages of replies trying to help him he passed away. Being a stroke victim I understand the dangers of high BP and to him to go to the...

    295, 305, or 325/30 front wheel fitment

    On my 2000 modified but not lower I've run 295, 305, 315, 325 and even 335 on the front and they all worked. 335 was a bit much and you had to make sure the wheels were straight before closing the hood. I ran a street tire 325 at the Open Track Challenge because rules stated I had to run street...

    On the track

    A better seat bolster would of been great if not a race seat, at least my 5 points held me into the stock seat snug.

    On the track

    Nice pic Mark, only your negative camber is touching. The funny thing about my pic if any of you have been to Willow Springs you know it is a fast track where the average "good" lap is 100 mph this is one of the slowest turns on the track, I'm guessing around 50 mph but it loads up.

    2009 ACR on ebay, with NO splitter

    I drove a 2008 ACR at Willow Srings Raceway without putting on the front splitter attachment and the next day I put it on and I saw no difference. Again this was the front splitter attachment that bolts on, still had the partial front splitter and the canards.

    Stock shift knob.

    Well it seems like great minds think alike :D I love the early 70s Firebirds, I had a '71 Firebird Esprit in my younger, poorer days. My g/f of 17 years has a Camaro RS and I am currently loooking for a '66 Mustang for her. Not a fastback or GT but just a classic looking Mustang preferably an...

    Stock shift knob.

    Oh yeah I get it believe me :D I never mentioned my Corvette was a convertible but you are right it is. It's difficult to get a 45 year old car unmolested, I did my own 3 year resto on it so every # matched. Other then the L-88 it had the biggest engine at 427/435 and has a lot of options. So I...

    Stock shift knob.

    Cool, but by track I meant a road race course not the 1/4 mile. I went the opposite route I modded the crap out of my 2000 Viper for road racing but kept my 1969 Corvette L71 stock. So stock that is it received an NCRS Top Flight award the first time out.

    ACR Guys with 275/35 fronts & 345/30 rear Michelin Super Sports... opintions please.

    Re: ACR Guys with 275/35 fronts & 345/30 rear Michelin Super Sports... opintions plea I've run 305s, 315s, 325s and 335s on the front on the track. 325s were great when they were available, 335s were a bit much 305s and 315s especially when you are running Hoosier R6s are perfect. Vipers tend...

    Stock shift knob.

    Why on gods earth would you want the stock shifter? It's like 4" longer then a MGW short shifter, 1st mod on all my Vipers is the shifting handle.

    Can you get a big brake kit that uses the stock front Gen 2 caliper and SRT rearotor

    Re: Can you get a big brake kit that uses the stock front Gen 2 caliper and SRT rearo I put a Stoptech big brake system on with 355mm (14.2") front rotors and 13" rears, no proportioning valve needed. Having a '96 means 17" wheels if you keep them you'll have to run 13" rotors all around or...

    Top Gear: LFA vs. Aston Martin vs. Gen V

    Yeah Hammond loved the car but that was the only positive thing I saw. The Viper was always in the back, even on the strip during burnouts it was last and the angles it was shot at were not very flattering. They should of used a better color car the black hid the lines somewhat.

    Top Gear: LFA vs. Aston Martin vs. Gen V

    Anyone see this last night they had 3 top cars, a Lexus LFA, a Aston Martin V12 and a Viper Gen V. After drag races in Vegas "the boys" went to Willow Springs my home track. I was dying to see of my Gen IV ACR time was better then the Gen V which I was sure it was given the drivers, but all they...

    What radar director are you guys using?

    This topic has been beaten to death over the last dozen or so years. V-1 is by far the superior detector. And for those of you that are complaining about false positives and it being squawky you can easily defeat the X & K bands which law enforcement rarely uses anymore and are 99% of the false...
