    Drags at Carlsbad, Ca. this Sunday...

    Ulysses, If you get there early, I would just get in line and follow all the others to the track. I will try to be there early also and I'll have a Yellow Z06 Vette with at Black Bra. There will be plenty of time to hook up once we are all in line at the staging point. Regards, Steve

    Drags at Carlsbad, Ca. this Sunday...

    OK OK OK, Slicks,- I don't need no slicks- er or I don't have any? I guarantee I'll break 13.00 and into the 12."s so I'll take a pitcher of Coors Lite! Ulysses, If you don't break into the mid 12's I'll be surprised! If you just point your car straight and punch the gas, you should be into...

    Drags at Carlsbad, Ca. this Sunday...

    SoCal, If you hit sub 12.00 I'll buy the beer, but if I hit the 12.6's you buy the beer. How's that sound? The weather forcast I'm hearing is HOT HOT HOT So the morning runs become more interesting. Regards, Steve Oh and Ulysses, How come you tech guys can work all night but you cant get up...

    Drags at Carlsbad, Ca. this Sunday...

    VenomLvr, Some people were hitting the 12.4's with their Z's at Carlsbad a few weeks ago. The best I did was 13.200 albeit my first day at the strip. I am more familar with the car now and have added a few other goodies and a few more miles on it so I think I can get into the 12's and would be...

    Drags at Carlsbad, Ca. this Sunday...

    SoCal, I can take it! I am a rookie and I know it. No pressure on me. I would be very happy to put down a 12.6 with my Z and I have seen you put down 12.2's on a sloppy track so I am not much of a challenge to you. But if you feel better picking on a lowely Z with a rookie at the wheel then...

    Think I found 1, need help

    I'd pull a car fax for one. Find a knowlegable Viper Tech in your area and have the car checked over! (this is a must) Gen 1 cars do have some inherant problems, but not bad if you are expecting them. You can get a set of factory wheels from Jon B at the Parts Rack at a pretty good price...

    Cop-"Well... it's a Viper..." (great story)

    Re: Cop-\"Well... it\'s a Viper...\" (great story) A friend of mine had a similar experience with his 360 yellow Modena in Palm Springs, Only there was a Helicopter! He pulled over and waited for the cops to catch up and they eventually gave him a ticket for 70mph instead of 130 ish! I guess if...

    Z06 vs Viper

    I watched fairly stock Z06 vettes running mid 12's all day at Carlsbad drag strip a few weeks ago. Not a great track at all. These cars ranged from cold air only to some with headers and drag radials. The best I ran (which was in the heat of the day) was a 13.200. It was my first day out on a...

    So close, yet so far away...

    It's the differance between a Lion and Lioness! The GTS Concept is just an awesome machine the RT leaves something to be desired, like DC is holding back. Which obviously they are after seeing the GTS! Build it DC they will buy it! (I would) Regards, Steve

    engine temp

    Do you have high flow air filters? Smooth Tubes? I don't know why, but my Z06 temp fell a little better than 10 degrees simply by putting a cold air intake set up on. I like the aftermarket fan kit from Roe Racing also. (won't help while driving but helps cool the engine after stopping) You...

    Renting Willow Springs for the day, who wants to go???

    Venom lover, I will probably bring the Z as the Viper isn't broken in yet. I have modified the Vette a little with a Halltech,Ripper, and a few other goodies still not in the same league as the Viper. My impressions on the track are probably worth nothing as I have never been on a track except...
