Motul RBF 600 Fluid
Stoptech Steel braided lines (got mine from Jon B. at Parts Rack)
Pads Mintex front/ Brakeman 3 in rear (ask for the old formulation, as the new one dusts unmercifully)
I use stock rotors, here is my reasoning. The two-piece Stop-Tech are $1200 for the front set and you will...
My car is stock (expect for brake lines) because I just love it the way it is. I figure Dodge spent multi millions of dollars in the development of the car. What am I going to do with my thousands that will really make it that much better and still dead nuts reliable?
I mean, 600bhp and no...
Never let "slower lap times" keep you from the track, unless you're racing door to door for money. Seat time is more important than any tire you can put on your car.
That said, I've had PS Cup tires and PSS and I don't care what anyone says, the Cup tires are simply the best . I have read...
Good post.
We all need to stick together and share information when it comes to disreputable people in and around the Viper community.
They are parasites and we need to protect ourselves and eachother.
That's not always the case.
A few years back, I was making a left from the outside lane of a double left turn lane when the dill hole on the inside does not maintain his lane and grazed the front of my car. It did not bent any metal or break any plastic but the paint was scraped and the...
I've done business with Luke several times over the years, as well. He's always taken care of my needs as promised. I was just kinda surprised he "went there", not knowing my position or how it might effect his deal with me. It wasn't very professional IMHO.
Personally, I'm a moderate and I just...
I will add just one thing. Luke at Tire Rack did not hesitate to take the opportunity to SLAM the VCA.
I pretended to not know the story, to see how far he would go, and it sounded like he was frothing at the mouth decsribing all the details of the episode. He obviously is not friend of the VCA.
Well, screw it. I just pulled the trigger on a new set of Hoosier R6's, heat cycled and all.
I probably could have gotten away with my Cup tires one more time at COTA but I really didn't want to have the doubt in the back of my mind at 160 MPH braking into
turn 12.
I have new Super Sports on my street wheels but don't want to burn 'em up on the track.
I put Invo's on my Gen III before I turned it back in when the lease was up, they sucked.
It's a tough call on my Cup tires, not hard from heat cycles but not a ton of tread left either.:dunno:
Is it better to run (at COTA) a set of Pilot Sport Cup tires that are not quite down to the wear bars (but not far) or a brand new set of NITTO INVO's, an inferior tire?
Opinions please.
I agree, well said. It's not a perfect car, never was. Then again I don't think a "perfect" car exists.
Why focus on the short comings? Let's celebrate the things that are awesome, of which there are plenty.
A Viper, any generation, is a spectacular thing. :drive:
