    Drag Race outcome at River City Raceway, Texas

    Jeff, "Real men road race"..?? OK. I'm sure you believe that. But be assured that you will be in 7th place entering turn 1. Also, Hitchcock is an auto cross track if that's the one you speak of near Galveston. Prashant - Great weekend. Any response from Socal or Florida?

    Nitrous Express 100-300hp shot, $750?...

    Try this site for more nitrous express info. http://www.nitrouswarehouse.com/fuel.htm I spoke with John at an auto show. If you E-mail NX with Viper questions (like I did) they will tell you to ask Roy at TNT.

    Nitrous Express 100-300hp shot, $750?...

    Jeff, I have the BTR system an ran 10.96 @ 132. I have K&N's, tubes, a Borla cat-back, and stock Pilots. Where were you? Parked in the back 40 I guess. I can't believe they booked an autocross and drag racing the same day. I recorded the best numbers from some of the faster guys and sent them...

    Nitrous Express 100-300hp shot, $750?...

    I saw some wet NX systems this weekend running low 10's. That NX kit, I believe, does not have a bottle warmer or a 15# bottle.

    Important Announcement.................................

    Tom, I'm one of those mild to wild guys. Previous best was 12.0. Today.........a BTR assisted 10.96 @ 132.2 on Pilots. Dyno results from yesterday - 590 rwhp and 740 rwtq. I understand where you're coming from. It's very easy to turn the beast into a monster.

    Trailer for 03

    Check out this post. http://64.70.135.137/ViperUBB/Forum14/HTML/002706.html Sloan is 78" wide. This post says 2003 is 74.6" wide. I've only got around 4" to spare with the rear tires with my current GTS on a Sloan. I'd like to have this number cleared up. Just curious right now.

    Best Trailer?

    You and Jeff I can see at a NASCAR race. But Prashant?!? Let me know when you will be around. We could meet at one of the Houston Hooters. If your in no hurry, I'll be using it to go to the ZR1/Viper race day in San Antonio. Enjoy the show! www.kwikload.com

    A day at the races (or the nightmare at Famoso)

    What racing part has a warranty period!? Give Tom a call if you have any half-shaft or other Viper questions. He has vast racing experience and will spend the time to answer all of your questions. He taught me some tricks on launching and the 1-2 shift. Stock tired cars with wheel hop will...

    A day at the races (or the nightmare at Famoso)

    For those who broke their aftermarket half shafts: When did it break? While launching or shifting to second gear? Did you have wheel hop? I'm in the process of getting mine replaced. I had wheel hop on the prior run and my outer joint let go when I hit second gear. The shafts were twisted...

    Saw Venom 800 twin turbo on the dyno today.....

    I stopped by HMS today to check out Johns Venom 800. I was hoping to get a close look at it and maybe even here it run. Well, I popped my head in the shop and there it was strapped to the dyno with wires hanging out of it. I got to see a handfull of dyno pulls from the monster. 700 rwhp...

    How much did you pay in relation to MSRP?

    I don't think that MAKO has ever bought a new Viper. August-October for new Viper delivery? Maybe he meant 2003!

    How much did you pay in relation to MSRP?

    You are so right about the Z06 prices. With a $7000 mark-up, Vipers can be bought for a lot less than sticker. Be ready to look nation wide for best deals. Check the classified on this site . Some dealers advertise under MSRP.

    G-Tech accuracy: 2 data points

    G-tech = Time starts on first movement and MPH is speed at exactly 1/4 mile. Track time = Time starts when line crossed (car already moving slightly) and MPH is an average over a distance. This would acount for the higher times and MPH with the G-tech. If you use Mikes factors you will be...

    Ever wondered what was inside your muffler?

    What goes out of the perforations will have to go back in somewhere.

    Dodge Viper Unveiling: Video

    This site has a clip of the Viper unveiling in Detroit. Sorry if it has already been posted but I'm only half way through what I've missed in the last 4 days. This board has been blazing! http://carpoint.msn.com/autoshow2001/default.asp?content=videos

    My LUCKY day!

    In Texas they can take you straight to the judge for going over 100 mph. I say "can" because I got caught going 115 and just got a ticket. I immediately pulled over and gave the keys to my girlfriend thinking I was going downtown. In college I tried the "I didn't know you were chasing me"...

    New purchase: 'drop ship' it??

    Re: New purchase: \'drop ship\' it?? Could be a bad idea. I had one of the first quad cabs held "hostage" by a local dealer. They wanted an extra $500 to deliver it once it got here. I didn't even try it with the Viper.

    Total cost of owning the car

    Here is my take. I have owned my 1999 GTS right at 1 year. If I take what it cost me to get the car to my house, including all taxes, and subtract the approximate value of my car now and add all of my expenses (pmts., insurance, fuel, maintenance), I am out about $13,000. Add in the cheap...

    Time Slips

    That's a nice .507 reaction time. I'm guessing smooth tubes, K&N's, cat-back and barely legal street tires.
