    Starting to get the hang of controlling the back end-

    Most street cars are setup to understeer (some more then others) as it is safer in the eyes of the manufacturer. Take your car on a skidpad and you'll see what I mean. Most racers dislike it when their car understeers or "pushes" too much as it makes it difficult to control the direction of...

    Starting to get the hang of controlling the back end-

    Vic, I can see you really want to go to the track bad At speed on smooth pavement the Viper handles quite well (at least my Gen 2 does). It understeers under power and oversteers upon lift-throttle (all cars do). In slower turns you can steer with power oversteer if necessary. I think what...

    Problems waxing the car.

    The 9 cylinder Road Racer!!!!

    Ron, other than being slow what are the symptoms of a broken plug? Just curious if that's what was keeping me from doing better at Willow Springs

    Radar Detectors ?? Which one is Best??

    I have a V1 in the Viper, Passport 8500 in the Boxster, and Passport Solo in the Z3. Both the V1 and 8500 are very good. I really like the V1's directional arrows, but I like the 8500's alphanumeric display of band better than the tiny lights on the V1. Also, the sound distinction between...
