Admittedly I'm a novice and simply a fan of all this banter but that seems to be a pretty heavy indictment against the durability of the boosted car. If that is the case then why would anyone want to drive a turbo charged vehicle?
As I understand it the SVS TT uses the Motec controller, are...
It's simple, if someone gives you a compliment you say "Thank You".
Like Vic, I often add to it something like "It's my dream car".
I know it's only an old beater Gen 1 but they usually don't.
Absolutely beeeeutiful.
Now bring that TT puppy out to the Silver State in Nevada next May and set the new land speed record for public highway.
A 90 mile long one way course. The current record is 207.7801 mph average over the 90 miles.
A Viper in the Guiness book of world records. We'd...
Ahh yes revenge is sweet, but living a good life is the best revenge. :D
You're obviously in the right business for you if it enables you to afford a viper at the ripe ol' age of 19.
Wow,
There, but for the grace of God, go I.
I remember during my first month of ownership I was entering an on ramp with high curbs. My backend broke lose for no apparent reason (seriously).
I found out later that my 94 had the original tires on it and they had hardened and the particular...
Hey Dave, was that you headed south on the 15 near Miramar around 6pm today?
(Not like that yellow GTS would stand out in all the toyota's, honda's and bmw's down in San Diego.)
I wouldn't put money on that one. I ordered my Chevy truck and it took 6 months to deliver and its not like it was hand made. Just ordered with options.
I'll NEVER race at Carlsbad again. Like Ulysses says too much dust on that 8 mile entry road. Have them take the scenic drive up to California Speedway. There are drags most every month and NO dust (except the dust you eat) :D
Drag Racing This Saturday Night!
WHO: Street legal drag racers...
Doesn't it seems somewhat unusual that a race like this only requires a 'roll bar' and not a full on 'roll cage'.
Sure its only a mile but the speed is what is relevant I think.
Comments anyone?
Wow, Jason I don't think its the top speed you need to concern yourself with, I think its the Fear Factor. I'm guessing you'll easily top 200mph. :eek: That should be cool for first place. :D
Like Greg said I heard the Vette guys braggin. I'd love to attend its just too far to be...
Bad Byte, A Venom 500 is nothing more than headers, exhaust, 70mm throttle bodies, 3.55 gear. No internal or head work so 5 psi is fine. Now 7 psi is also avalible for forged piston cars....1999 and earlier. Sean is working on Gen1...I don't know the time frame but I believe it is going to...

1996 GTS Venom 500 Roe supercharger 10.48 @ 137
Tony, did you do anything special to reduce compression? I'm noticing the more boost the lower compression should be. Is Sean's SC boost just low enough to be safe with the higher compression on that Venom 500? Plus any word on the...
Marv, like Vic says the 91 couldn't suck enough. If it were me, I would take the 10 from Palm Springs to the 60. Then come down through what we affectionately refer to as the 'Badlands' and follow the 60 in to the 57 then cut south on the 57 to the 91. You avoid all the Corona Crawl on the 91...
I would have to say regardless of the health of the engine in question, Bill has earned my respect simply by posting here. If you don't know there is a problem how can it be fixed? If you bury your head in the sand you'll soon be asphixiated. Seems like we have a stand up guy as a tuner here...
I usually hear squeaks comming from around, near, over by, in the passenger seat. :D Usually more like a squeel and most often when entering a 90 degree turn at 120 mph. Also happens when I accelerate very hard. Also happens when other things get very .... oh different topic... sorry!
Oh...
