Three questions for you:
1. Have you driven a car without abs? If yes, how did it work out for you?
2. On your cars with abs how often do you brake past the limit that induces wheel slippage triggering the abs?
3. Are you primarily concerned about dry conditions, or do you plan on driving your...
My B/W GTS has several little bubbles on the front of the clamshell hood near the headlights. Ive seen them on others as well. Add to that the slight wavynes of the paint and being able to actually faintly see the fiberglass flakes under the paint on the roof under certain lighting. All normal...
4th is my fav gear for backroad runs.
I like being able to leave it there and pull through the turns with all that bottom end torque.
Some of the tight backroads i run can be done exclusivly in 3rd as well. Closer to redline is a much more extreme experience and satisfying in a different way...
4th to 3rd Downshift.
Cruising along with a passenger for their first time i take ateasy on the throttle untill i get to a backroad straight and am crusin at like 2.5k rpm in 4th. Then i ask; "Are you ready". The instant they say Yes i clutch in / blip the throttle / drop 3rd all in a split sec...
1. What type of options would you like? Going to 18" rims opens up more tire options like NITTO NT-05, NITTO INVO, and BFG G-Force
2. More mileage than what? What Is your reference point? goal? How many miles a year do you plan to drive the Viper? What region do you live in?
3. Viper...
Did they bill your CC yet? Im not sure what the standard is on that, but my bike parts website does not bill you until the backordered item is available and ready to ship. If they had to front the money to the producer before it was available then I would be fine with them charging me to place...
Im guessing its not a shipping issue but rather a stock issue
VPA keeps a lot of stuff in stock but some of the parts are fulfilled by mopar warehouses just like the dealerships get their stuff. If you place an order for something that is backordered then all you can do is wait.
That remineds...
Being able to use as much of the full potential as possible of a car on the tight&twisty backroads is fun. For that I like me a light&nimble drivers car like the Miata or RX7.
I here that NSX is fun for this as well but havnt experienced yet...
The stock early Gen2 708 cam sounds pretty lumpy&wicked with headers&full exhaust.
If you are looking to do heads give greg good a call. He has a new cnc process to more quickly&accurately do our heads and prob knows exactly which cam to use for your specific app since he's done countless viper...
Ive shed more than that off my GTS including:
windshield wipers & motors, windshield fluid bottle, spare tire & jack, behind seats interior&glovebox(to make room for harnesses, stock seat, rear exhaust, radio/speakers/amp.
Does that make me more hardcore? :-)
2white & Intense.
Two good points...
Both could work if the enthusiast was able to read the majority of the forums besides the few specific members areas(this is implemented on some forums i have seen including the VCA)
In addition, create a specific enthusiast section for them to post...
Whatthe,
Are the RT's Ceramic or Metal substrate?
The metal ones sound like straightpipes, ceramic dampens the sound a bit.
Is your system all 3" , or is any component 2.5"?
When i first went to do a brake job on my GTS several years ago i could not find a place that turned rotors. They all told me the similar things; Back in the day it was more common to machine/turn because rotors were solid and/or thicker and/or more expensive. Also, for most cars rotors can be...
Same here. Converted to side exhaust last year. Finishing up on a custom splitter currently and planning on continuing the factory undertray into a custom rear diffuser. With all that sealed up im gonna need to add a mini radiator thing to cool the diff fluid and a way to pump air to it. Figured...
I have always thought this for the Gen1's. Would love to see those unique 3-spokes in 19". If i had a Gen1 i would contact a CNC wheel maker and work with them on making it happen.
More than happy with my Gen2 rolling on HRE's though, and no desire to see those oem 5-spokes in a larger size.
SSG, Why single out Vipers? Cant your perception/mentality be applied to tha majority of cars at or above a corvette?
What exactly are you looking for? If you want an "in" to hang out with the younger crowd than I suggest picking up a Supra/Rx7/GTR/BRZ/TurboScion/ Ect...
