    Excuses we use to drive our Vipers....

    I gotta go to work, I can either take the Mustang or the Viper, no excuse needed ever, but now....... The Mustang has been sitting since 4/29/05 with a blown headgasket which I just fixed, now I have to redo the lower intake manifold gasket (darn cork sucks - using Permatex this time)- so the...

    Did I expect too much from my Viper and/or me?????????

    I have a 2001 Viper GTS stock save for filters, smooth tubes, and Kumhos. It runs 11.6@120, enough to take alot of blown Stangs, but not all. For instance, my 92 Stang has a 347 stroker motor and a blower, it looks like a stock Stang with Weld wheels, but... Last time it was at the track it...

    Kumhos or drag radials ??

    I just ordered them regular. I did not have them shaved or heat cycled. You just have to drive on them for a couple of days and then all is well. Howard

    Kumhos or drag radials ??

    KUMHO ECSTA V700s on the rears! My 60' dropped from a 1.89 on Pilots to a 1.68 on Kumhos at the track. My 1/8 dropped from 8.0 to 7.5 and my 1/4 dropped from 12.3 to 11.6. On the street if I cruise at 3500-4000rpms in 1st waiting to race someone, I can nail it and dead hook. With the Pilots I...

    What are quater mile times for a 98 GTS

    ACR steve - If you could get a 1.88 you would run a solid 11.7-11.8. Schulmann - For some reason I always run a little better at ATCO??? Howard

    What are quater mile times for a 98 GTS

    Drop your Pilots to 25-26#, tach it up to 2000rpms (like 1/16th pedal), as soon as you get the light let off the clutch and as soon as it grabs go full throttle. This should get you 1.8s and 1.9s. My big problem at the track on Pilots is the 1-2 shift getting out of control. If you hve the...

    What are quater mile times for a 98 GTS

    Your welcome. I would say that 1.8s definitely are important in getting 11s, BUT..... What I found more important was the fact that with stock tires I could not shift 1-2 without getting out of control GRANNYSHIFTING. The Kumhos allowed me to go 1-2 as hard as I wanted (still grannyshifting)...

    What are quater mile times for a 98 GTS

    98vipergts - I am going to help you as best I can. I have a stock Viper GTS except for Roe smooth tubes, Roe filters, and Kumho Ecsta V700 tires (sticky). When I first bought the car last July 2004 it just had K&N filters and stock tires, no smooth tubes. Two weeks later at the track it...

    Viper ran [email protected] with a 1.68 60' Today

    Re: Viper ran [email protected] with a 1.68 60\' Today The 2000s and newer have the same cam specs EXCEPT the earlier model Gen 2s have 6 degrees more valve overlap, that is the big difference. I drove my buddies Stock 99 GTS except for filters, I gotta be honest, it felt no lumpier than my cam...

    Re: Viper ran [email protected] with a 1.68 60\' Today Paul's 2001 RT/10 ran a 11.71@119 COMPLETELY STOCK - no aftermarket filters and on stock Michelon Pilots. So I'd say they are just as fast. Howard

    Re: Viper ran [email protected] with a 1.68 60\' Today GTS Dean - I'll bet with a 123mph trap speed, if you put Kumhos on there you would run 11.4s-11.5s easy. Do it, it'll make you happy. :) I ran 5 runs launching at 2000rpms, all were 1.8 60's and three were 11.8s and 2 were 11.9s all at...

    Re: Viper ran [email protected] with a 1.68 60\' Today I hear the non-creampuffs run better after mods than creampuffs. But, like you said stock vs stock is about the same. I have to tell you: Kumhos are far from an average street tire: They dropped my 60' from 1.89 to 1.68 my 1/8 from 8.0 to...

    Re: Viper ran [email protected] with a 1.68 60\' Today I run them everyday on the rears. I can see them being bad in the rain once they wear down. I've had them about 1-2 months and they are already down to 4/32. They also pick up alot of sand and gravel. If you put them up front you would...

    Viper ran [email protected] with a 1.68 60' Today

    Re: Viper ran [email protected] with a 1.68 60\' Today I have to admit I was a little worried about having a 2006 Z06 encounter or a AMG55 Benz, but the Viper with Kumhos is just too easy to launch and go flat out. On a roll there is not much to fear with a Viper. I have stuck with high 10 low 11...
