Can you tell us more about the 1700hp monster please?
Can it be used as a street car?
How much boost?
What kind of fuel?
What displacement?
How about CR?
Block? Heads?
I have bug Ron Sr. many times in the past. He even thought I was going to build a twin-turbo Viper myself.
Awesome Viper community!!
Matt@StopTech is very helpful as usual.
Bill@Woodhouse is very cool. I truly don't know any car salesman giving support long after the car is sold.
Conclusion:
If you want brakes, get StopTech.
If you want to buy Viper(s), call Bill@Woodhouse.
Why my rotors are...
My car is a 2001 GTS w/ the 4-wheel Stoptech brake upgrade. I have only been running Michelin Pilot Sports. Pads I have used are the Axxis Ultimate, Pagid Orange, BrakeMan 3.
How long should I expect my front rotors to last?
My first set of fronts only lasted me 3 sets of pads (2 Axxis...
Unfortunately, I don't think I can visit the PO box to buy one.
Who carries the product?
Any other contact information (other than the PO box)?
Thanks.
It's a little tricky.
It's all based on feel, so very hard to put into words. I will try.
1. Rev the engine a little to say 2000rpm.
2. Let the clutch out quickly to the point of engagement.
3. Before the clutch completely engages (i.e., riding it), give it more throttle.
4. Balance the clutch...
As usual, it's a fine line.
Dropping the pressure is not only for letting the tire "flatten" to increase contact patch. It also makes the tires have more "give", therefore less shock and less likely to spin.
I was lazy and simply didn't play with tire pressures. Too many hot ladies to chat with.
Here is a little more details...
Stock tires.
30-32 psi in the rears.
32-34 psi in the fronts.
Clean & warm the tires (no big burn out).
Launch at about 2200rpm.
Slip the clutch just a little so that car doesn't bog.
I could slip the clutch a little more, but just too abusive to gain another...
Yes, the problem was humidity.
No doubt a 100% stock Gen II GTS can run in the 11's.
I don't abuse my clutch too much and I don't power shift. There is 2-3 tenths right there.
Wow! You guys are truly amazing. I enjoy reading all the information posted here and is exactly what I am looking for.
Sadly, unless I have a few hundred thousands or more to spend, my conclusion is no real downforce for a street car.
I have accepted the fact that I am crazy.
I wanted the...
