    Spinning Out.......

    The question I think was " Why does a Viper spin out?" Here are some reasons: 1) Cold Tires 2) Drivers not used to high torque at low RPM's 3) Driver skill....or should I say lack thereof? 4) Showing off 5) Racing on street and avoiding debris, potholes, oil and whatever else. It is easy to...

    AP Racing Big Brake Kit (stillen)

    Eldiablo...Are you saying that a 2 piston rear caliber is no different than a 6 piston caliper? are you crazy? Are you saying that a 355MM area of brake pad surface is the same as 275 mm of surface?

    Mike....I do know one team mate Lenny D. put the 4 wheel Stop Tech's on his car an it was a Huge improvement. I did a Brembo 4 piston all around kit and it was also huge difference. The 6 piston and 4 rear from AP should be even better. I think Stoptech did have a a test up on their site of...

    AP Racing Big Brake Kit (stillen)

    PS: I would not increase the front brakes without looking at rear brakes as you may intensify the Vipers front braking, causing the rear to get loose and may create front wheel lockup. I have seen this problem before.

    Thanks Bill......That was supposed to be "Crossdrilled" is not the best for road racing". I have never heard of anyone not liking the Stoptech 4 piston setup. My .02 on that is the Viper 4 piston front is an offtake manufactured by Brembo for Viper. So the Stop Tech setup really is an...

    Hans Device reduced price. Users any feed back please.

    Well for the last 2 years we used the Hutchens style restraint. This year moving to using the Hans also. The more safety in a car THE BETTER!!!! Especially if its your head!

    Mike, Slotted are not ideal for road racing. If you read just about any MAJOR publication on rotors and racing, crossdrilled tend to be weaker, offer NO additional heat dissapation and the cross drilling tends to create stress cracks. While cross drilling looks kool in racing they are not the...

    Interesting comment made by Viper Tech at dealership per Recall

    THATS BULL!!!!! I have had both my street Viper and Race car done. It is a recall where the frame peice for the rack is REPLACED. It is the better designed rack on the newer year cars...I think 2001 or the 2002 cars have this rack. Go to someone else as they are clueless!

    Viper Racing?

    Little correction on what the new CC is allowed in "WCGT". The front tire is a 275 width, not a 295 width. there is a 100 lb weight penalty for ABS. The front splitter is MAX allowed only 4 inches passes nose of car and as of right now....NO restrictors. The tire is a spec tire from Toyo. The...

    thinking about using redline oil

    Bruce from Bruces Speed Shop in NNJ, took some various cars, put them all on his dyno, ran them with there "stock" fluids in the rear and transmissions. They then emptied the fluids, put Redline in the rears and Trans's and EVERY car made rear wheel HP gains with Redline. That convinced me!!

    Got to test drive an SRT-10 today!!!

    Actually beleive the Viper belongs to Gary Barberra as they purchase it from someone else. They paid a very high price to get the car. They were gracious enough to let me out in it as I am a very careful driver and really as it only had 300 miles on it, to not go over 3000 or so RPM's They are...
