    So close to a 10 second pass last night :(

    Let me know how the 2nd gear burnout goes. I haven't taken mine to the track yet but would like some pointers. Also, from my drag racing other cars experience. When you do the 2nd gear burn outs.... It's hard to explain but when you start to pull forward, don't go nuts and let the tires...

    My guess is he slipped the heck out of the clutch to do so.

    When you say street tires, are you talking about drag radials or a "REAL" true radial like a pilot or other

    Anyone ever had a mouse get inside one of the doors??

    Not my story, but my buddy has a shop and he had a SRT10 ram show up where a mouse got under the intake manifold and chewed the injector wires. Mice suck when they get into your building. It's a pain to get rid of them. I hate if you poison them, they run into a wall, die and stink for a...

    Will, I did send you a text but I don't want to call you on your personal phone on your day off. I'll do a little more research and get a hold of you..

    Bought My First Snake

    Congrats on the first viper. Be careful with throttle input as it's very easy to slip that rear end out. That was all my friend's advice when I bought my first viper. And ya, black is a PITA. Love it when it's clean but 99% of the time you get frustrated with the small scratches.

    It would be the same as tuning a gas engine. E85 just requires more fuel than gas and usually allows more timing. Sct and aem should be able to do it.

    Hm, that sucks Maybe time to scrap the idea and leave it as is until I build the motor.

    E85, Boost, Stock engine

    I have an 03 vert with a Paxton on it. From my understanding the stock engine likes to "go boom" about 750ish whp (on premium pump gas) So, from my experience with other engines and e85 along with proper tuning. I was thinking heck, maybe the stock gen 3 engine can survive a little more...

    Changing O2 sensor...

    I am not sure on the coupes but when I took off the rocker panel on my vert, I didn't have to pull the fender. Are you talking about the front fender? There are a couple bolts that are a pain to get to.

    So close to a 10 second pass last night :(

    Nothing against corrections. But I don't live on corrections. To me it either ran out or it didn't. I understand how they work but when world records are set. .. They don't use correction factors. Just my opinion :) Oh ya on the boy car seat. I was amazed to see the passenger...

    Well...I Did it...

    That's awesome. White with black stripes looks AWESOME. I'd love to own a gen V but it's not in the cards for me right now. Maybe in a couple years I might try to pick up a used one..... BTW. The ghost door popping issue can be a plus. "But honey, I pulled up next to the curb and the...

    So close to a 10 second pass last night :(

    I honestly thought the shifts seemed fine. This is what I would do if it were my car: 1) play with tire pressures. I never 1/4 mile raced with DRs but a lot of people that I talked to ran really low pressures, in the mid teens to 20 psi range (not sure if that is ideal on a viper) 2)...

    Gen V Test Drive - Just Curious

    Is this guy going to start this in EVERY thread in the gen 5 forum?

    how much top end>>

    Ya, I don't think that calculator is 100% correct. I did 3.07 FD added 28.7" tall tires (due to my DRs) 6200 rpms and it says 6th can do 344.8 mph. Ya I don't think that's right....

    Personal best with my ACR [email protected]

    Yep. Low mph because of that 60 foot.

    So close to a 10 second pass last night :(

    Do you think lower pressures would help? Also this might sound weird. But 2nd gear burnouts? Get the tires hotter. When I was drag racing my 800 hp Honda it hooked way better with 3rd gear burnouts instead of 2nd. 3rd was geared to do 120ish of I remember right. Just a suggestion...

    Sweet. I have nitto drs also. I want to go to the track and see what mine will do. Btw. What tire pressures were you running.

    So close to a 10 second pass last night :(

    What tires? If that's regular Street tires a dr should Definantly help you go 10s. The launch looked good.

    Car value???

    How do you figure it's worth 8k less? I see a lot of gen3 20k miles go at 40.

    Car value???

    Royman you got a deal on a white mamba..... But I think that about 35k seems to be a realistic # for a gen 3 with about 50k miles. You can always list it up for more and let people try to talk you down. Better start high and work down than low and get no where.

    Car value???

    I was going to say. Show me a gen 4 for 40. I will show you 40k quick. He must be referring to the green one on ebay by x2 builders. Current bid about 40k but reserve not met on a salvage title.
