    Not knocking the car in any way, but why do you need amenities on a drag car? Last time I checked, Top fuel didn't have power mirrors I'd rather knock a tenth off my time by dropping 300lbs of dead weight then have all the extra crap. But thats just me... I have the whole 2-windows-at-60-AC...

    I don't understand why they would use a production car as a base!? I mean... if your going to go for those kind of speeds, why have power windows and AC? Me... I'd call Chris @ Chassisworks and get them to make me a full tube chassis, and use the roof and tail from a wrecked coupe. The rest of...

    sir hiss is on ebay

    Thats a tube chassis from the firewall back, and a 4-link rear (right?). Just like any pro-street car, looks like a stock body on the outside but hides a revised chassis and suspension (rear coilovers and 4-link or ladderbar). MM

    I'm working on enlisting carolinas VCA members to take measurments of other year cars. The latch should be the only difference. As for water tight.. trust me, as an RT owner, this was a big priority! Sucker should seal up like a drum when i'm done. MM

    The top is still pretty far out from public, but i'll get it right for every car. As far as non soft-top driving, I understand where you are comming from. However, many people don't use the soft top because of the fear of getting trapped in a storm. So most use a hard top, or risk short trips...

    To answer to the lightweight question, I won't go into too much detail...but the materials used are very light, but do not compromise rigidity of the top in any way. There is extra reinforcement in the center, as well as the side. These reinforcements, however, are of very light weight due to...

    Disasemble easy? Unlatch 2 in the front, pull backwards, unlatch the back two, fold in half and put it back in the bag. It's 100% self contained... you don't have to do ANYTHING but latch it to the back, pull it foward untill it "locks", then set it down into the front openings, swing the...

    this is a fully framed top, that is meant to be a replacement for your current factory top. This uses the same mounting hardware as the current tops, and I will be doing high-speed tests very soon. I am also going to give out 3 tops to local VCA members for extended wear testing. This top will...

    Hey guys/gals. This is just an informal "gage" to see what kind of demand there is going to be for the new soft tops. Final structure design is complete, and the structure itself weighs in at approx 4lbs with rear steel latches and machined front aluminum. This number will grow when the fabric...

    Push the metal clips in on the sides of the cables, pull the cable back ALL THE WAY, as it has to clear a little "ridge" and sometimes gets caught. Jump in the car, slowly depress the pedel to the floor (don't stomp). Sync'd. There is a prodeedure for adding the update kit, and adjusting the...

    Anybody know this car?

    Because the going rate for viper frames is 8K, as where any good race chasis builder can do the same thing, lighter and stronger for ~4K complete. As long as you provide the plans and the money, they'll do nearly anything You can also get crazy with the type of suspensions if you have more...
