Yes. I'm going to dyno it.
There is a local dyno shop where I have dyno'd my car since it was stock. I'm going to take it there because they have the data from my stock runs. It will give me a good comparison.
Sound clip is on the way.
Some of you may know that I have been without my Viper for almost a year and a half. I blew the engine at a track day (oil starvation, spun the rod bearing, blew rods and pistons, and damaged the sleeves, then the oil leaked down into my exhaust, caught fire, and destroyed my cats.) Rather than...
It is just a flash bracket for mounting an off-camera flash. Your local camera store should have one for about $15. The straps are just generic straps from the hardware store.
Here is what I use.

They are strictly track tires. Deadly in wet weather.
You asked for the stickiest ones. These are them. They would be a poor choice for everyday driving, however.
It sounds like the tire you are looking for is the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup.
Unfortunately for you, it only comes in 18 inch...
That has never happened to me. I've hot-lapped my car at the drag strip with 10-15 consecutive passes. No issues.
(edit)
I should qualify this, by saying that I was not powershifting.
In street driving, it will be difficult to notice a single bad rear shock.
The shock could be failing and you would not necessarily know it just driving around town.
Your best indicator is the car's handling under braking. Try braking hard and see if the car pulls. If it were a front...
Roe's problem is that he's waited so long, that he may find that he's missed the boat. Paxton pretty much is the proven answer at this point.
He may come out with a supercharger solution only to finid that he's got the answer to a question nobody is asking anymore.
Maybe not. The reason you can get 22-23 mpg with all 10 running is that you are using a "hyperspace" tall 6th gear and therefore can cruise along at highway speeds turning 1500 rpm.
You might not be able to crank such a tall gear with only 6 cylinders.
If you had a day and could choose an open track day at either Buttonwillow (Full track, #25) or Willow Springs (Horsethief Mile) which would be more fun?
I know nothing about either track.
Any suggestions appreciated.
I looked into aftermarket seats.
The nicest ones I found were the Misano seats by Cobra

Lightweight, full carbon fiber, available in any combination of leather and other fabrics.
The only issue was that you would need to get a custom bracket made to fit them, as...
