    Supercarschicago drag shootout results - PICS!

    my first time racing this car, and it showed!! After "Shaq-Peddling" the car off the line a half dozen times (applying too much throttle), I finally figured out you have to baby that thing out of the hole to do better. (Still only managed a 12.37 at 116.99 mph. with 2.07 60 ft time on last...

    I've read through some of the posts on winter storage and I have 2 questions: What is the reason for blocking the windshield wipers off the glass? What is the benefit of opening the windows a crack vs. leaving them closed? (I think I'm paranoid some critters will crawl under the car cover...

    OMG-it happened, in the DITCH

    I'm new to the Viper.. (Sept 01) but I noticed a big difference when the cooler weather hit Chicago... the tires break loose all too easy if I jump on the throttle even at 20-25 mph... no clutch I'm thinkin the engine likes the cold air a bunch and the traction is worse when the...

    brakes squeek on new Viper

    Car is 2001 GTS. Curious if the noise quiets down over time, if not, I'll probably have the EBC pads put on. I had high performance brakes on F355 and there was some noise with them, but not this loud. Vinman
