    Any high horse power vipers in Chicago want to race?

    Except for the fact it snowed almost 4 inches here last night I'm sure anyone would race him....from a roll. And a few from a stop. DSM is diamond star motors (mitsubishi) eclipse, talon, galant vr4,etc. If he's up here chances are he's known. there are a couple of CRAZY DSM's. Maybe next year...

    Question about Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, IL

    Butch the snake and Myself were at the track on Wed (founding members at the track for corner marking of the south track) Was very impressed, we hadn't been there yet. Very top notch tracks. First they were out on the south track to mark the corners. Then we had a little lunch. Then some time on...

    Need assistance checking out a car in the Chicago area

    If this is the red 2002 GTS with different wheels (than stock), It is very clean. I cannot believe it has been there as long as it has. And it seems to be a great price.

    BAD ASS VIDEO!!!

    Yup the Saphire blue car (Mike's) is a H&C car with SVS Headers, Corsa Cat back and no cats. I think the only viper I personally have heard out there that is louder than Mike's could be Butch's (Paolo's probably was too with the SC but now its gonna be nice and woosh-woosh quiet). How about...

    My visit to Paolo Castellano’s Shop to see the Twin Turbo Setup in Progress

    Re: My visit to Paolo Castellano’s Shop to see the Twin Turbo Setup in Progress Jay, Seeing as I had the first 200mph ride in this car last time, it is only fitting that I get that chance again. LOL. I told PC at a party this weekend, that he should put a turnstyle in his garage and charge...

    My GTS purchase is starting out as a nightmare... Chicago VCA, listen up!

    I'm with PRVT JET on this one. We are both good friends of Tom at FLD. He is probably one of the most upstanding members of the viper community. He would never lie about something like that. He deals with A LOT of vipers and Viper owners. He has an excellent reputation and would do nothing to...

    Something doesn't seem to add up...

    Re: Something doesn\'t seem to add up... If it were just the air then Chicago's Rte. 66 would be the fastest track in the country (and is for the NHRA 334 mph or so). The track is at something like 33ft above sealevel. Maybe not even that high. Yet even those cars making 7000HP now only very...

    Something doesn't seem to add up...

    Re: Something doesn\'t seem to add up... Just a side note, Supra, I was using the hp calculator on at www.douglevinmotorsports.com which states it gives wheel horsepower. I would also assume these are wheel numbers since it would be impossible to tell what the drivetrain loss would be...

    Something doesn't seem to add up...

    Re: Something doesn\'t seem to add up... Roof, Don't get me wrong, I'm not questioning your integrity. I guess I'm questioning the laws of Physics. The car is running 12lbs of boost, so you were only making on the order of 7-8lbs on the dyno? Thats understandable. But what I'm saying is...

    Something doesn't seem to add up...

    Something doesn\'t seem to add up... Something isn't adding up here. Dr Roof, first off no disrespect. From reading you put on the most badass event ever and you have one hell of a car. However, from The time slips you picked up 40mph from the 1/8th to the 1/4 mark. 40mph. Thats amazing. All...

    video here of a certain run

    If you read JDawg's post last week about a certain ride he was privy to, then you will know exactly who and what this is. However I must apologize, 1st the quality is not the best, but it gets the point across (Its an old video camera). Second, I could not, for the life of me, get the audio to...

    Roof DLM runs 9.93 @ 151 on blower

    Moundir, Thanks, makes a little more sense. Time to get back on the dyno and see what its reallly doing then. Even as per DLM online RWHP dyno he should be in the 980rwhp range, :eek: and :2tu: I hope you got upgraded brakes on that thing Roof, looks like you're gonna need them, even if...

    Roof DLM runs 9.93 @ 151 on blower

    Roof, Congrats first off. A 9 sec pass from any car is a great achievement. How much boost are you pumping into that thing, and did you change pulley's or something from sat to sunday. Just curious, you car goes about 8mph faster than cars with the same or more RWHP and TQ. Congrats nonetheless...

    Have heard of only 1 set of numbers from Texas so far

    well, I just heard from Paolo's wife what his numbers were. What I was told is that Paolo won the dyno (I am assuming in the centrifigul supercharger class since the TT cars should make 1000+ rwhp). But paolo made 862rwhp. Not bad. Anyone confirm this? I know Paolo has it set back to the lowest...

    I RODE IN AND DROVE THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL SUPERCHARGED VIPER LAST NIGHT

    What is the typical install time for Heads/Cam/1.7RR

    Changing out the heads isn't very hard (headers are generally the biggest hassle to get around). RR aren't difficult (Adjusting them is the pain). But the cam is the really time intensive portion. Figure Roughly (I said roughly) 15-17 hours for the total job. There is a ton of little crap you...
