    Just Ordered Some Kumho Ecsta V700s

    Was out cruising my cars today, and my high 10-low 11 second Stang on new sticky BFG DRs felt safer than my Viper GTS on the stock "Hockey Pucks" Michelon Pilots. I mean just tap the throttle in the Viper in 1st or 2nd and you are sideways, so some much needed traction was the order of the...

    Lesson learned at the drag strip

    Glad to hear you made it out of that one. I don't like when they line 2 cars up that are unevenly matched, things like this can happen all too easily. The more I think about it, I should use the Viper as my street & cruising car (where it is insured), the Stang as my 1/4 mile car (what...

    Small Video of me playing with snakes...and it looks like I am a flamer!

    Re: Small Video of me playing with snakes...and it looks like I am a flamer Great vid!!! I ran my buddy's 550rwhp 03 Cobra Vert a few times. He has a Ported Eaton with a shot of NOS. We went from various rolls, needless to say he was quite surprised by my stock Viper (except for Roe tubes...

    Who has Seen 190 Or Better on There Speedo???

    I have seen 140. I stayed in it after the 1/4 mile traps at ATCO for a couple of seconds, car was still pulling HARD! On the street I think 100moh is the ABSOLUTE limit I would go to if I ever did push the car all out. To many variables out there. Howard

    12.3 1/4 mile time for a Stock 98 GTS good?

    Sounds about right. My 2001 GTS BONE STOCK ran [email protected], then I installed Roe smooth tubes and filters and ran [email protected]. Short times were between 1.89-1.94. All runs were granny shifted. Howard

    Back on the Road to MODS.. :-) 478.67 rwhp 526.96 off a cream puff !!

    Kumho Ecsta V700 are regular radials, just VERY sticky compared to pilots, and less $$$ also. On my Stang I have BFG DRs, although without slicks any tire is like ice skating, but they are a nice compromise. I'm like you, I run my car on the track as it runs on the street. Howard

    Fayetteville Drag Strip 1/9/2004 I AM CALLING OUT ALL THE COMB OVERS!

    How did you stay planted, my car granny shifting goes sideways on the 1-2 and I've always had to lift a bit due to wheelhop. I guess I'm afraid of breaking my sh-t, I should just go balls out. Howard

    Jon - That is very impressive. Throw a pair of Kumhos on there and knock those 60's down by .1 and you are running solid 11.3-11.4s! You really got me thinking of this set-up over a blower, safety reasons with my creampuff. Howard

    2002 viper gts acr - I responded to your other post, I wasn't that far off on my guesstimates of your et and traps. How were your 60' and 1/8 times and mpg. How did your car feel on the 1-2 shift and the 2-3 shift on the track. My car was very tought to keep straight on the 1-2 and often...

    Post those 1/4 mile times. Don't forget 60', 1/8, and trap speeds also. Good luck and lets see some mid-high 11s at 122+ on radials....... Howard

    Back on the Road to MODS.. :-) 478.67 rwhp 526.96 off a cream puff !!

    Very impressive #s! I have a 2001 GTS and was thinking of going with a Roe blower for $7500, but I like the simplicity (and safety) of staying n/a and just doing rockers, full exhaust, and tubes and filters (already have those) to pull off respectable #s like that. How does it feel compared to...

    What Kind Of RWHP Are You Guys Getting On Dyno??

    Mustang dyno's read lower than dynojets, but I'm not sure how much, but I know it is alot lower. With that said, even if those #s were dynojet #s, I would still be impressed, so those #s are very impressive. Howard

    Oh What A Screamer She Is

    Dimitrios - I can't wait to see you new dyno #s, BUT.... I can't imagine how you will handle this power on the street in the cold weather. My car is a STOCK 2001 GTS with ROE smooth tubes and filters, nothing else, and if I hit it in 1st or 2nd the beast will start go sideways. With a blower...

    Diablo vs Viper....

    Just be glad you have such a tough decision to make. Many people wish they would have to make that decision. Personally, I would always would opt for speed in a close deciosn like this, so keep the Viper. Good luck, Howard

    Private track rental @ Atco this Monday - any interest?

    Unfortunately I have to work. I would have loved another crack at 11s. Oh well, spring is just around the corner. Howard

    In search of traction

    The cold weather is rough on traction. My car is STOCK except for filters and smooth tubes. At ATCO 11/13/04 (Vettes vs Vipers) on Pilots at 22#, i was launching easy (line was prepped good), but I couldn't go full throttle on the 1-2 without lifting and even the 2-3 spun and hopped like the...

    >> Thieves trying to steal my Viper out of my garage last night! <<

    That took balls with your wife home and two big dogs. I have insurance, so if they steal my Viper I'll just get a new one. If they are in my house (garage) and my German Shephard leaves them with a bloody stump for an arm, at least the revenge factor from their lowlife family or friends isn't...

    2001 GTS - Low idle 500 rpms

    Bone stock, well it has Roe Filters now. Idle sounds pretty loud to me. Howard

    Thanks to all who drag raced today at Atco!

    Nice run! You really blew away that chump in the viper. Wonder who that was??? :D Howard

    ATCO - Some New Bests for the Viper Today

    Paul - You think the cold weather was just making us produce more power to break loose like that down the track. Or do you think the head wind hurt us or both. I mean you were 4/10 off your best with a 12.1 compared to an 11.1. Prep at the line was OK for me to get a 1.89 on a soft launch...

    ATCO - Some New Bests for the Viper Today

    JDAWG - I wonder if I could have stayed in it how much faster I would have went. For example, my 1st run of the day I couldn't get it in to 4th, so I pressed the clutch and got it in on the second try - I only ran a [email protected]. Considering all my other runs were 12.31, 12.35, and 12.38...

    Thanks!!! [email protected] Feel free to post up the vid on any forum, I don't mind. I have to figure out how to host it on my website. Thanks again, Howard
