    "Stickiest" tires for Gen2 18" rims?

    Once when I had V700s on my car I thought it felt a bit weird - like I was getting a flat. I looked at the tires whenI made a stop and they looked fine. Still felt a bit weird so when I arrived home I got out the pressure guage. One of the V7oos in the rear was a zero psi. I had a flat and...

    Anyone know anything about a DYNAMICS DYNO?

    It cannot be that easy. My car spun 440 RWHP on a Dyno Dynamics machine. 18% would take it to 519 rwhp. No way my bolt-on car would make over 500 rwhp on a Dynojet.

    "Stickiest" tires for Gen2 18" rims?

    I used to have Kumho V700s on the rear but when they finally went hard on me I put Toyo R888s all around and love them. Cool looking tread too. Toyo R888 unmounted: Kumho V700 on left, Toyo R888 on right: One the car on stock GenIIv2 rims: I have never driven them in the rain.

    To follow the Viper room post: does anyone have the "Viper Night Drivin'" pinball?

    Re: To follow the Viper room post: does anyone have the "Viper Night Drivin'" pinball So true regarding a pin, but when you think about it, true about so many things as life gets better. For the price of one superbowl nosebleed ticket you can have an ultra cool machine in your house that takes...

    To follow the Viper room post: does anyone have the "Viper Night Drivin'" pinball?

    Re: To follow the Viper room post: does anyone have the "Viper Night Drivin'" pinball This machine is new enough that it is solid state so no old school electonics to break. Plus parts are very available and although the things are very sturdy they are easy to fix (I have a 1995 machine from...

    Re: To follow the Viper room post: does anyone have the "Viper Night Drivin'" pinball To follow up, I found one for sale on Craig's List that says the lights on the side of the play field are black lights and it uses glow in the dark balls and is to be played inthe dark. VIPER PINBALL MACHINE...

    Complete bullshyte. I've never worked on the plaintiff side myself, although I was a defense litigator for years. That means I was on your side. And wow - a lot of people we defended really deserved to be sued. And sometimes new "limitations" really bring on fantastic technological...

    I have never seen one in person, but it looks pretty good: Internet Pinball Machine Database: Sega 'Viper Night Drivin''

    Viper-curious

    I would really like to see volume corrected figures of how many Vipers are wrecked in the first hundred miles compared to how many one liter sport bikes are wrecked in the first 100 miles. It seems to me we see and ridiculous amount of Viper crashes where the driver just did not understand there...

    I am actually kind of proud of my outlaw status. Still wish I could have an avatar and a sig but not for $100. I am trying very hard to get a new/better paying job. Perhaps i'll join in celebration if I do.

    Anyone know anything about a DYNAMICS DYNO?

    Best machines out there as they allow the operator to load the car in variable ways at variable rpms which it great for duplicating race lap & aerodynamic situations when tuning a race car. There is a shop about three miles from my house with an all-wheel-drive version and they have some...

    Selling my 1998 GTS

    Since I also have a 1998 Silver GTS that i would probably sell if someone offered to buy please sell that thing for a mint so I feel better! You have stripes or solid? I'm solid with bolt-on mods.

    Viper-curious

    A Viper with non-R Compund tires will kill you faster and any modern car out there. 500 foot pounds of torque is another world. Sticky tires makes it a "rational" car, but still crazy dangerous. As and attorney, and in light of all the less than 100 miles on the car crashes we have seen I find...

    Gen II OEM radiator for sale?

    You are making me feel bad for getting $27 from the recycling place for mine after last year's spring cleaning. Or was is $37? I remember being surprised how much they gave me for it.

    For those with different gears

    For street driving on non-sticky tires I think the secret to launching a car with short gears is to launch off idle - in other words sit there at idle then when the light goes green floor it and let the clutch out. This allows you to eliminate immediate wheel spin, then the shorter gears allow...

    Post pictures of your 5/6 point Herness

    Guy at work told me he had a car (not a Viper) that had harnesses where the shoulder belts had inertia-based passive spools so you could move around while street driving. Anyone offering that solution. I've ridden on the street in a car with harnesses and it sux not having passive mobility.

    Anyone have pics of the rear diffuser unit PartRack sells?

    Wow isn't that the truth! Fatboy comes through all the way from across the pond. I know JonB's business is not about the beauty of his website, but hey Jon - even if Autoform doesn't give them to you, some great pictures and a little explanation would help sell some stuff! ;) Thanks Fatboy.

    anyone have an acr with a picture of the harness

    Guy at work told me he had a car (not a Viper) that had a four-point harness where both the shoulder straps were passive - they each had reels that allowed you to move in them like a shoulder belt then they tightened if you drove hard - just like a stock three piece belt system. Are the ACR...

    Anyone have pics of the rear diffuser unit PartRack sells?

    Thank you so much for taking the time to post - especially your diagram! Are there bolts added where it "hooks" onto the rear bumper (the highest point of the diffuser)? I think you are saying no as you mention you can take it on-and-off with no ill effect. Did it come painted black? It the...

    2 Things I never seem to get great responses about: 1) seats; & 2) pedal covers

    LIG you are awesome. I've never been good at searching on this site. I just ordered some Autovation. Now about those seat options . . .

    rear suspension not level

    I think you need to find where the tech at the first dealer went to because he actually knows what he is doing. This is a chronic problem - a dirty little secret if you will - and putting in a lowering car on the passenger side and/or raising cap on the drivers side is the way to go with static...

    Anyone have pics of the rear diffuser unit PartRack sells?

    The "four blade rear diffuser" found here: PartsRack.com Picture on the site is not telling me how this thing fits. I am especially interested in what it does around the exhaust hole and how it fits in the inset detail.
