    DLM VIPER VS Huybusa!!!

    D@mn straight Gerald, that's why I want to come back over there one day and take a ride in a blown Viper. The bike felt fast, so faster must be even better! Nah I think they just hang on. They lie almost flat so they can push with their feet I guess. I'm nuts but there's no way I'd ever get on...

    Bikers. This ever happen to you?

    Mike, you got it A1. And true, I would sometimes mess around with my buddies and fight with them in leathers and an old helmet. Near impossible to hurt me. Head was a total no-go zone (helmets hurt hands), and the tight leather spreads the impact of one in the guts over your whole torso. Then I...

    Bikers. This ever happen to you?

    Taking a chance with your own life is one thing. Trying to end someone else's is an entirely different matter. You give good arguments why people shouldn't lane split, and I agree with you. There is no argument, however, for trying to hurt them. Get out there, dressed in the better part of a...

    Bikers. This ever happen to you?

    This is what is wrong with the world. Some guy gets it a little better than you, and you instantly get your @ss in a knot and have to hurt him. A relative of mine had a guy open a car door while he was lanesplitting through stand still traffic at 10mph. Now he no longer walks. We don't think...

    Most idiotic and unreasonable front plate ticket

    Jealousy. Don't let it get to you, or their little scheme worked. Instead, take it straight to court with notorised evidence that you did not have plates yet at that date. Go for legal costs because it's such a stupid claim on the city's behalf. Then, find that person's boss and try to get them...

    Bikers. This ever happen to you?

    That's pretty bad advice when the guy on the bike is just showing respect. I hope the Monster Truck Club of America feels the same way about you in your Viper. I guess you're the same type of person that opens their door in stopped traffic when a bike is lanesplitting?

    DLM VIPER VS Huybusa!!!

    Paolo.. there are turbo Hayabusas doing over 245. I just watched that video, and honestly I think his speedo is at least 35% off... he might have 2 YBs!! The last video I watched with a turbo busa was Ghost Rider - The Final Ride on DVD. Every time I've watched a turbo busa video, all you can...

    DLM VIPER VS Huybusa!!!

    Yeah, it is. It's easy to tamper with bike speedos (buy a Yellow Box).. however, with the right rear sprocket to make sure there is no gear change in between, and 100 is at redline, that's possible. The bike can go from 60 to 120 in 4 seconds flat totally stock. And there's a gear change in there.

    Linelock

    Yeah HP, that's what I mean. You're driving down the road, you accidentally hit the switch, and it locks the front brake lines shut. Then you stand on the brakes, and the fluid can't get to your front calipers. I don't know about you, but no front brakes, with locked up back brakes sounds scary...

    Kuhmo questions.. help

    I just put Kumho 712 Supras (!) on my daily driver. No problems yet and all the tyre places recommended them. I was amazed at the grip for such a cheap tyre. Check the speed rating though. Those closed tracks can see some high speeds. Which model are you looking at? Ecsta V700, or V700...

    Linelock

    I'm guessing like HP says, it's for safety. You're driving down the road and you accidentally bump the lock on... front brakes won't work when you go to use them. Also, a lot of people use the horn for the line lock as it's on the steering wheel... you can shift with one, and steer and operate...

    DLM VIPER VS Huybusa!!!

    TFAST4U I reckon a G1k could probably go faster than that. Recently, my attention was drawn by a post on this site to the records in the Stock SuperSport class of the AMA Pro Star series. This is a class for stock, other than a pipe and a jet/map. No other mods. These guys were getting 9.5s on...

    Dodge Viper Slammed by Gen-Y & DC Engineer!

    When was the last time you heard a 15 year old girl say a car looks "old school"? And no wonder it looks "old school" - hello, the design IS old! Not that I don't like it, I love it. But the Viper is way way better, and turns way way more heads.

    The biggest reason a tuner should be honest

    Chuck, looking for that special lady who will surprise you with a third Viper?

    Gumball Rally Started thursday night. Cars impounded.

    It works in Europe. Basically there aren't speed limits on the freeways/tollways. People don't act like idiots either. After a while they get used to it, and they do stick to the rules. 60mph in the slow lane; if you get in the fast lane you better be going fast and you better get out of a...

    Which is better 1000HP SC or TT

    Gotta disagree here. I have driven some high power turbo auto cars, and if you didn't floor it, they didn't boost - AT ALL. Yeah, the converter would load the engine a little, and a little boost would be produced (which would be unwelcome in a Viper in the wet)... except for the fact that the...

    Time For the neighbors to meet the Viper

    Get them to agree to best-2-out-of-3 "I am a crap driver - we want to really see who wins - not just watch you kill me cos I smoked it up". First time, just stay in front by a car length "Wow! That was the best I have ever launched this thing!" Second time lose by a couple of car lengths "Whoa I...

    Hennessey Performance

    Re: [******] Performance I can't believe it... anyone that wants to, hey, good luck to you. CODY, glad you're happy. IMHO, I could never deal with someone who has a bad business background. Not only that, I wouldn't want a person anywhere near my car with all of the experiences of bad parts...

    Pulled on the way to work - Aargg!

    I am currently making a 4 camera vehicle mounted digital video recorder for the company I work for.. it's probably not exactly what you guys are looking for, with the total lack of space in the Viper, but I am putting one in my daily driver for exactly these reasons. Too often get pulled over...

    Spinning Out.......

    Chuck's right. I haven't taken a car on the track (YET)... there aren't many around where I live. However, the first time I took a motorcycle to the track I was both humbled and excited. I realised two things: 1. I had never ever come close to the limits, or even anywhere near true fun on a...

    Supercharged VEC2 testing results...

    Doesn't the Mustang have a 4 valve per cylinder engine? Wouldn't that help volumetric efficiency in the upper engine speed range?

    Warning Possible Scam!!!

    Did the "seller" by any chance nominate an escrow company to use? I heard they have a scam where they set up fake escrow sites, and just steal the money that way. Now someone has setup a fake-escrow-watch site, which in turn has now been faked... Don't buy cars without seeing them and...

    Clutchless transmission?

    I've got a buddy with a box like this in a 10 second Subaru. Hard to learn how to drive. You have to pull it out of gear as you lift your foot a bit, so the force on the dogs balances, match the engine speed and quickly shift into the next gear. They just refer to it as a dog box here (cos all...
