    Yes-much to Ted's dismay I am putting Nitrous on my Viper. He will talk about drag racing and has said he will come to the track with me sometime. You just need to get him in a headlock to convince him. Ben is into drag racing and has done all kinds of testing. He has done nitrous too, but is...

    Southern California 1/8 mile Drag Strip

    I think the odds of breaking u joints is fairly high. I wasn't worried about u joints as much as I was having a flying halfshaft loose under the car breaking stuff. I just got Unitrax HD halfshafts and plan on also putting on safety loops. My understanding is traction at the racetracks I go to...

    about them tips

    I recently read about owners of Corsa exhaust using metal polish to brighten up the finish. I am curious if I can use any kind of polish or is there a special kind to use. There are also some black "soot" spots on the tips, what is the best way to clean those off. BTW I assume the 97 GTS wheels...

    Mike. I tried launching at 2,000 to 2,500rpm with a semi quick release of the clutch and wound up spinning the tires enough to think i was losing time. This is the rpm Tom Welch recommends. When you launch at 3500 rpm, just how quickly are you releasing the clutch? I suspect I would really be...

    Hey snakester-were you at the nor cal meeting Tuesday? I was there and recruited another GTS to go up to Sacto soon. Most people kind of roll their eyes when I mention 1/4 mile as they are into track events. I guess I'm the black sheep of the group. If you want to get together I have Tom Welchs...

    Need Quick Help-Side Sill Insulation Removal or Not

    Hi Tom, I know this doesn't answer your question, but the hi flow cats are so much cooler than stock that i wonder if the sills will turn yellow still without all the heat you used to have. Kevin

    Yes Mike...please do tell. I tried 1/4 mile for the very first time ever. It was pretty confusing as no one told me where to start, end, exit, get timeslips. etc. I only got 4 runs in over a 5 hour period and my best was 12.6. I do believe the big problem is launching. Too much wheel spin...

    Is this gap in the pic normal bwtween the hood and front bumper by the headlamp?

    I have a gap like that on my GTS. I asked Ted May to adjust it and he said if he did, the front would rub. so I left it. It doesn't bother me that much and even less now that I see other cars with it.

    Viper's flaw

    Re: Viper\'s flaw Claudio. You may be right about the steering. I think i read an article in Motor trend or car & driver comparing several sports cars on the race track as far as handling. Mario Andretti was the driver for all vehicles and commented how quick the steering on the viper was on...

    Broke my B&M shifter - need info

    Mark, 2 broken shifters in 1 year? I think you've seen enough of the gym. Just a thought, when you shift into any gear, when the shifter stops, stop pushing! See ya at the meeting.

    Which would you chose, Supercharged GTS or Creampuff?

    Justin, You just sold a Viper! The agony of being without was too much eh? I had emailed you about your car a few times and you were kind enough to return very detailed info and pix. Even though I didn't buy it, you did sell it so good for you. You already know what a viper is like. If comfort...

    Why would you buy heavy duty half-shafts?

    Just curious as far as those who had damage from broken shafts, did you have safety loops on. If not do you think they would have prevented damage to the diff housing?

    NOS-anybody blown a motor with it yet?

    Many people have pros and cons for NOS. I am considering Tom Welch's kit. While I see some happy owners with NOS, has anyone been unhappy or damaged a motor on their viper yet. No one has said so so far. It seems like the more expensive (perhaps better thought out) ones are okay. Any input anyone?

    stereo kinda [edit]

    I know this has been discussed before here and there a little bit, but has anyone found a replacement head unit they like? Did they stick with Alpine because of the connectors? I have a 97gts and would like to get a better unit in the $200 to $400 range. Also does anyone have any recomondations...
