While on the topic of Sam Hubinette, I found an interesting video of him testing the GEN 4 Viper vs a C6 Z06
H2H Ep1 Viper Vs. Z06 Vette - Car Videos on StreetFire
Went to Drift Formula in Monroe, WA a few weeks back... This is what I saw...
Apparently he went into the wall during practice on Friday before the actual competition. :crying:
I got to talk with him and he was a pretty cool guy. He said he'd much rather drive the big nasty Viper over...
I've noticed that 6th gear @ 40mph actually puts the motor on a load that puts the revvs lower than idle but she still moves without stalling. Now that you mention it, is it a bad thing for the motor?
I have a salvaged Viper but I don't plan on ever selling her! Bought with 13,700 miles and I've put over 3000 miles on her in the past 3 weeks. Had her checked out before purchase and everything's ok! In my opinion, get her fixed up. She's just gonna be that much more valuable to you in the long...
I put it in 6th when I'm on city streets with 40 mph speed limit. Theres so much torque at idle, I don't even have to touch the gas pedal to stay at 40!! XD
When the S2k first appeared, it only came in roadster version (Just like the GEN 1 and 3 Vipers). There was no nanny controls and many of the '00-'03 S2000's were prone to lift off oversteer so many people wrecked them (Again, just like the Viper.) IMO, the spirit of both cars are very similar...
Got my snake dyno'd yesterday! It put down 468whp and 502wtq completely stock! (Uncorrected SAE, of course!) As soon as they dyno place emails me the SAE corrected figures I'll put them up. Here's the dyno sheet!
This was in Drift Office in Auburn, Washington on 6-19-2010. Weather was high...
I just had this happened to me... As I was washing off bird **** off the car, a guy walks buy and says, "Nice 'Vette!" I looked at him, smiled, and went right back to what I was doing... Only I was a bit heart broken... lol :D
I've used the search button and google'd it but only came across one definitive thread that said something about the hood switch being bad... My alarm keeps going off randomly without any notice. Is there a reason why? In one of the threads I read, someone said to simply disconnect the hood...
Oh, man! You couldn't be more right about the torque! This car reminds me of Elenor from Gone in 60 Seconds. :D I've been experimenting with the torque band and it seems it just starts from idle! :omg: I don't want to push her too hard for now, I just want to get her to a road course as fast as...
