    Dodge better bring the rain!

    Go for it :D Even the 2000 Cobra R will not give a stock Gen2 a "run for the money on a road course" - throw in the GTS ACR & it's even more of a defeat (for the Mustang). Unless you mean to compare 2012 mustang to Vipers at least 10 years older. I love all cars. Out of the 20 I own...

    Best tire for straight line acceleration (street)

    So I had one of my guys order me the new SuperSport for the rear. Got them to Discount Tire in 3 days - I'm loving it because everyone is telling me good luck, there is a nation wide shortage and you won't get them anytime soon. So I drive to Discount yesterday and find out my guy ordered 20"...

    Best tire for straight line acceleration (street)

    I use that technique as an excuse to mask my crappy launches - I balme it on the power of the car and fall back on the "you know I'd beat you if I had traction" argument.....but basically I can't drag race to save my life. ...but someday I will have a 510 stroker too :D :envy

    Stuff

    Just a thought: If you still have it by the Round Up take it with you or send it with someone - probably sell it there.

    Whats the big deal about VOI cars?

    Calipers are the same - rotors are 2-piece StopTech Aero's on the ACR.

    Accident...

    That I can picture & believe :D I bet it's killing you that you can't simply make modifications "since we're already in here/it's already opened up", etc. You'll have to PM me the shop. I haven't been following your adventure.

    Accident...

    Anything is possible. I was walking out of a gas station 2 days ago and found myself struggling to stay upright as I slid 5-7 feet before stopping. I really didn't even know what was happening at the time. Once I came to a stop I noticed I just stepped in what looked like a puddle of brand...

    Dodge better bring the rain!

    Hmmmm.....interresting...... If you are implying Gen5 pricing similar to a GTR......I'm liking it! But, will it beat a Mustang?

    Houston Mile - Half Mile 2012

    I'm right there with you FlatOut - I really hate the see the rivalry go away....Is A&M going to change their fight song now since it won't make since in the SEC? :D

    Drilled rotors 1 or 2 piece???

    Simply changing your pads will increase the effectiveness of your brakes considerable. Cross-drilled rotors will give you the bling but the slotted rotors are better. Try a more aggressive pad if the "stopping" force or fade is not to your liking.

    2012 SRT Track experience.....

    Highly recommended - take you wife and settle the "who's a better driver" argument once and for all! Unfortunately my wife is a better drag racer than I am, by a lot. When it comes to making turns I'm on top. However in the Challenger shoot-out I barely beat her by half a Challenger, whew...

    Dodge better bring the rain!

    Forum: "Generation V discussion" - NOT "The Viper is a rip off because my friend with a $50k mustang will beat you with a pulley and tune". I think we can chalk it up to Viper envy. I don't care how rare the mustang is, what racing heritage, how many times Carol Shelby signed it, etc. To...

    Best tire for straight line acceleration (street)

    Yep - have a set on the ACR & RT. The Roe on the RT just spins them, no hop because of the Roe's instant power and not having to feed it RPM to start making power (sorry Plum :D - couldn't help it :D). The ACR will hop like a cricket in a frying pan - even with the c/r settings on the KW's...

    Best tire for straight line acceleration (street)

    I love the cups on the track - on the street I don't care for them because of the warm up they require. If not warm they have similar grip to run-flats. Once warm they are very nice. Since you're are a strip you have the time to warm up. On the street when you want to give someone an...

    "Bedding" multi track pads

    Brakes, which is better Viper ACR or ZR1?

    After I replaced the stock pads with race pads on the ACR my brakes became super consistant and never faded. I guess that means the work well. Never having carbon ceramic brakes I cannot compare. I also have no need or desire to upgrade to them because the fatory set up (with race pads) work...

    Drilled rotors 1 or 2 piece???

    The slots in the rotors allow gases to escape. 2 piece rotors are lighter and don't transfer as much heat to the hub/bearing as well as reduce/prevent warping , can also just replace the rotor, and reuse the hat, some 2 piece rotors are floating which allow the brakes to fully release and the...

    Houston Mile - Half Mile 2012

    nice....We'll see how the SEC "welcomes" the Aggies this year (it's been 16 years since A&M has beat an SEC team....). To much of the photo above I'd assume :D:D:D It's still difficult for me to defend Austin.... Not my cup of tea I guess :D
