    2nd gear power braking??

    At the track, what gear do you guys with 3.55 gears do your burnout in? This is with drag radials. Just wondering because it takes me forever in 1st on a real cold day to really heat up the tires. Also, what is the proper way to power brake. I usually just pop the clutch, then move my left foot...

    Those of you with Eibachs...

    I love them on my 02 GTS. I didn't know there was a difference between a GTS and an older RT/10 either, but I can see the difference now. It looks like the older RT/10 would have better clearance than the GTS. I do scrape once in a while, but it's well worth it with the handling and looks. When...

    Viper VS. Z06 - VIDEO!!

    Different tracks also make a huge difference. I'd be willing to bet Ranger won't run a stock Gen2 Viper to an 11.5 at Mason Dixon in MD. MIR and Cecil County are two of the fastest tracks in the country, isn't that where he runs? Not to take anything from Ranger, he's obviously an incredible...

    SVS N/A Viper vs Corvette C6-Z06

    A hard h.w. pull is dangerous regardless if it's in a race or not. I'm not defending street race at all, but if anyone on this site says they haven't hit over 100mph pulling hard is full of it! And if you ever go to STREETFIRE at all you'll see just about every tuner on the net on there! Topics...

    I lost to a Camaro SS!

    Sorry, I forgot it also has roller rockers. They were in it when I bought it. Does taking out the cats make a difference?

    SVS N/A Viper vs Corvette C6-Z06

    Joseph, How fast have you had your Viper on the street?? I think it's a little harsh saying it would be great to see someone die in a street racing video because they are racing. Yeah, that would certainly make the video better! Sounds like you need to be driving a Ford Explorer. I don't agree...

    I lost to a Camaro SS!

    Actually my car has 545rwhp. It is a Heffner NOVI2000 kit, but that's it. I still have the cast pistons, not the forged in 99 and older. Jason recommended not turning up the boost until I change the pistons. The Camaro has about the same hp. It's a 402ci with a roller cam. Regardless what he has...

    I lost to a Camaro SS!

    The Camaro is a 2000 SS with a LS2 motor with a huge cam, and heads, but all motor. He has run a 10.8@130mph in the 1/4. We have equal h.p. The 1st run I jumped the gun and won. The 2nd race he jumped the gun and won. The 3rd race was a dead even start. We ran from 60mph-150mph. At 150mph he got...

    Popular Maryland tracks and other Vipers?

    Do you ever come over toward Hagerstown? I might be going to Mason Dixon on 10/20/06. It's a Friday night street night. I'd love to meet up with another fellow Viper owner.

    Ran a new Pontiac GTO last night

    Just for the record, I also love Supras and have owned a 93tt and a 95tt. Supra's are still my wifes favorite car over the Viper or our Diablo we had. They are very nice looking and driving cars. I love my Viper and don't plan to swap anytime soon! We all have our own tastes. As for Gavin, I...

    Stock gears VS. 3.55's

    Stock gears VS. 3.55\'s With a 02 GTS with 550rwhp, which gears are better for roll-on's, and which are better in the 1/4 mile? In my old 2000 GTS I had stock gears where now I have 3.55's. It seemed like the stock gears pulled better especially in the top end. Any opinions??

    Ran a new Pontiac GTO last night

    Bo, I understand your excitement. There's nothing like an awesome race. I get just as excited about someone else getting in a race as I do myself. I've been in many street races between cars and many bikes, but if it's not the proper timing I will never endanger anyone else. I know you're the...

    Ran a new Pontiac GTO last night

    Gavin, How fast have you had your Viper on the street or highway? Just curious because if Bo did 1st, 2nd, and 3rd he hit about 115mph. I've come close to that in my Navigator. If it's in a bunch of traffic that's one thing, but I open mine up all the time late in the evening on the interstate...

    SRT10 truck VS. C6 Vette!

    I was on my way home from work tonight and happened to catch a nice race. From a distance I saw them lining up coming towards me. I thought the truck was breaking down, then they took off and I realized they were racing. The truck layed down a lot of smoke fighting for traction. As they flew by...

    Rev limiter question

    It is normal. You don't want to shift that high anyway. Shift at about 5,500rpm. It's safer on a stock motor, and from 5,500-6,000rpm you don't gain any performance. When I first got mine back supercharged I hit mine also a couple times. It definitely throws you forward!

    Viper vid! My first time posting a video.

    I'm nobody to judge either. I've had mine to 140-160mph more times than I can count, but it doesn't make you a bad person. Are you all stock? Great video! I'm still trying to figure out how to get a video on here.

    100+MPH light in the front

    Both of my Vipers would get very darty above 130mph, only when I'd let off the gas. Pulling hard all the way to 160mph and smooth as hell, but as soon as I let off I better have both hands on the wheel. It's normal. My current 02GTS is lowered and has the rear spoiler and still does it. Don't be...

    Eagle Talon vs Viper GTS must see (vid)

    I started years ago with a Talon. They can be made very quick, as John Shepherd is currently running 7.9 seconds in the 1/4. At the end of the day they are still Talons. I remember when I had mine running 12's I thought it was the quickest car on the planet. I also talked smack about a local...

    What's the best RPM to shift at?

    Re: What\'s the best RPM to shift at? O.K. If you were going to get into a close race that you may lose if you don't drive perfectly, what RPM then? I'm asking this question for a reason. I have an 11.0 Comaro ss wanting to take on the Viper.
