    Using oil at the track?

    I was at Thunderhill for 2 days. First track day, 4 sessions, about 90 track miles. Used 2 quarts of oil. Second track day, 3 sessions, about 70 track miles, drove a little harder. Used another 2 quarts of oil. Relative to most track driving, I was taking it real easy (first time out at...

    Opinions wanted: wheel choices for Daytona Viper

    Personally, I like Fikse FM/5's. Jim Fikse is great to deal with. Give him a call and tell him Mike sent ya. He personally helped me custom fit a set of wheels on my SlowC5. Highly recommended. Disclaimer: I am just a happy Fikse customer.

    2001 GTS compared to 2000 LPE TT C5 (my non-expert opinion)

    Crazy mod? Nah, no mod is crazy. The Stoptech brakes are coming already. The fun dream is: LPE 540, when that's get to feel a little weak, add TT. I was comparing the traction to the TT C5 which doesn't have traction at all. The pedal placement took some getting used to and play around...

    B&M shifter + MGW shift "knob" = ??

    B&M shifter + MGW shift \"knob\" = ?? Disappearing shifter!! It's so short, it's a little hard to find. I love it. Solid feel. A little tight. No noise, no vibration (maybe I just don't notice them).

    2001 GTS compared to 2000 LPE TT C5 (my non-expert opinion)

    - suspension is great, I feel that it handles bumps a little better than the C5 - amazing traction, can't even spin the tires in 1st - not much fancy features when compared to the C5 - the car gets too much attention - foot well gets real hot, worse than the TT C5 - poor aerodynamic, above 120...

    Good Experience Report

    My creampuff got bitten by poodles the day after I got it home from Woodhouse. (It was parked between 41 Corvettes)... Anyhow, driver side door crack in the corner (I posted photos before). Today, it's back in one piece and I don't need duct tape to hold it together anymore! Moslander in...

    SlowCreamPuff ran 12.3@118

    It was the very first run down the 1/4-mile... The 2.0 60' is not the whole story... For some reason, after the wheel hops stopped, the car bogged for a little bit. I believe the 330' time probably shows that. The stock shifter is way too long throw for me... In fact, I almost missed 3rd. I...

    Please Help!

    I think I have a severe case of OCWOTD (obsessive compulsive wide open throttle disorder). Is there a product out there that can limit the number of full throttle runs within a certain time period? I am really worried about ending up in jail!

    Since yours is a 2001, "CRM PFF" would just be perfect. I wanted to get that, but most people won't understand it...

    brakes squeek on new Viper

    Best way is to brake real hard, heal-and-toe downshift with a loud exhaust and you won't worry about the noise. Seriously, I do notice the noise. It's okay... I drive it like a race car and it should behave like one... ;)

    Too much cream??

    Well, I am wrong. It made 423rwhp and 460rwtq... I need to calibrate my SOTP. Gotta be careful with those sharp little claws...

    Too much cream??

    If things work out, I will be putting my cream puff on the dyno today... Then I will know why it feels weak. It could very well be those sharp little kitten claws changed the calibration of my SOTP.

    Too much cream??

    I am not sure what's going on. I have been trying to find a pedal setting to make heal-and-toe easier for me. I settled on a setting where the pedals are quite low (forward). Anyway, the pedal travel has been shorten. Could this cause my throttle not to open 100%? Because my cream puff keeps...

    SlowCreamPuff Report (Warning: Kitty References)

    The spot where the hood is hit by the door actually moves away from the door. Also, the hood where it was hit is also exactly where it would have been if the chassis flexed enough. I actually went with a Corvette cruise this Sunday. Parked in between 41 Corvettes... I was going to title the...
