    More Motor Trend Bias

    ViperX, I am just curious...what brand/type of tires were you using when you passed the Porsche & Vette?

    More Motor Trend Bias

    My point is that bone stock Gen 3 Vipers don't dominate the new stock Z06's or even some Porsches on the "Real" race tracks or in the quarter mile. Take a look at the data... However with even minor prep, the Vipers do kick butt as you said. I'm sure the Motor Trend "best handling car" tests...

    More Motor Trend Bias

    I understand why the magazines don't pick the Viper as number one... I do a lot of autocrossing. Handling is everything in this sport. For what it is worth, my new 06 Viper Coupe in street form was not competitive on any autocross course. I routinely got spanked by everything from Z06's to...

    RT-Cats doesn´t match

    I installed a set of RT cats about 3 weeks ago. I had a problem getting them to line up and the O2 sensor nearly hit the firewall... Finally I called them up to complain as the passenger side would just not line up... I was shocked to find out that they had mis-marked a bunch of their...

    auto cross tires

    Kumho 710's are worth a second or two on a 45 autocross course vs Hoosiers (based on the corvettes last year) I recently went to 17inch rear wheels to allow use of the Kumho 335-35-17 tire. I'm using the 315-35-18's on the front. No data yet, will race on them in 2 weeks...

    Question for those of you who autocross Solo 2

    FYI, as per SCCA SOLO2 rules, ACR and GTSR Vipers must race in the ASP class. Near as I can tell it is because of the smoothe tubes and resultant extra 10 HP. ZO6's are in SS but many of them run ASP due to wider wheels or other non-stock items not allowed in SS. Stock ZO6's are a pretty close...

    ARROW REBUILD

    Re: ARROW REBUILD Arrow rebuilt my old 96 RT-10 engine due to the gasket problem (on warranty) I guess they did an OK job on the motor, but a few months after getting the car back from the dealer one of the right side spark plugs "blew out". Upon further checking all the plugs on the right...

    Motor to arrow....Any advice??

    My only advice is to check your spark plugs for tightness once the motor is returned... Arrow did a rebuild on my 96 RT-10 several years ago and during my first trip after the dealer reinstall, a spark plug was "launched" while driving down the freeway! (never found it) I was shocked to find...

    anyone tried SCCA soloII

    I have been running most solo-2 events in the Sacramento Ca. area for the past year and a half, and really enjoy this type of racing. Auto-cross is a good way to compete without risking major damage to your car or yourself (or your competitor, for that matter.) In this venue, you race around a...

    Handling - AutoX setup question

    While we are on the subject, I will vent a bit about the class SCCA (Solo 2 autocross) makes me run... in 2002, they put all GTS and RT-10's into the "superstock" class. However, all GT-2's and ACR's are required to run in the A-Street Prepared class. Apparently the only reason for this is...

    Handling - AutoX setup question

    You may want to try pulling the "sport shims" in the front to increase the camber. (You also need a tow-in adjustment if you do this) There are several threads on this in the archives that give details.

    Autocross vs.Road Course

    FYI, GTSR and ACR vipers still have to compete in ASP SCCA autocross, while all others compete in SS. Guess my GTSR's decals and neutral wing give it too much of a speed advantage to compete against other GTS/RT-10 vipers!

    Ignore Filter...

    Hey moderator(s): What are the chances of adding an "Ignore Filter" to the site? There are some (one in particular) posters that truly warrant such a feature!! I for one, would love to be able to just filter it out of the stuff I read.

    $530 Gas Cap?? (true story)

    I accidently left my Gas cap in Monterey today. This occurred while filling up for the return trip home after attending the Skip Barber car control class with 19 other Viper folks on Thursday. (Awesome Class!!) Unfortunately I figured out the cap was missing about 150 miles from Monterey and I...

    Corsa's New Exhaust - LIVE!

    Re: Corsa\'s New Exhaust - LIVE! Just got my new 3 inch Corsa system installed 3 days ago, just in time to drive to Monterey which was a 220+ mile trip each way. It sounds really good ("Bad *** ", as one young guy yelled as I drove by CSUMB). The sound clips on the Corsa web site are pretty...

    I need help on warranty on side sills. ..Please give advice..

    My GT-2 is due to be picked up tomorrow from the local Dodge dealer...warranty (ie no cost) is covering side sill repaint due to yellowing around the cat. area on each side. As per other VCA folks that had yellowed side sills, you need to spray paint the inside of the sills with "VHT 1500"...

    Do wings block the rear-view?

    For what it is worth, the (single) wing on my GTSR (#072) is no problem at all!
