    Overheated pads?

    I take it these pads are not the same as BM#3's. I think most of the overheating is me braking not hard enough for too long. With the price of Stoptech 2 piece rotors, swaping rotors is not an option for me so I guess I am stuck with the same pads for steet and track. I don't mind dust or...

    Shoe on the Other Foot. In AWE of another car - MB McLaren SLR

    When I saw McLaren in the post I thought F1 and got excited. Then I saw the SLR. :( Was it hard to tell it from the usual SL's? I have never been impressed by any aspect of that car..

    Overheated pads?

    I spent a day at the Thunderhill Viperdays and am getting more aggressive with my braking. The day after I noticed that I was getting a lot of vibration with braking. I have previously overheated a set of the Axxis Ultimate pads at Thunderhill and had switched to their Club Race pads which are...

    $195 Thunderhill High Performance Driving School - Is this worth it?

    I have driven Thunderhill twice with Viper days, twice with the drivers school and twice with clubs. The course is great. I like it a lot better than Laguna Seca and it has much more runoff space. The Drivers school is a lot of fun but can be a bit crowded. The instructors I have had have been...

    Keeping the engine oiled at the track... What's enough?

    Re: Keeping the engine oiled at the track... What\'s enough? From my understanding the stock windage tray on pre 2000 Vipers only allows oil return on the left side, making left turns more prone to oil starvation. Be sure and put a 2000+ windage tray in if you are going to pull the pan for...

    Here is an old post I saved regarding oil pan upgrades. I wish I knew who originally authored it as I would give them credit: "2000 Oil Pan: Some of the internal casting CLEARLY shows Dodge is thinking about baffle systems. There are 4 cast bosses that look purpose-cast for this purpose -...

    Best pads street/track?

    I am using some StopTech Club Race pads on the front as duel purpose pads. They squeal a bit, like stock pads, and are dusty but have held up to track use so far. The Axxis Ultimate pads got too hot in track use. I am thinking about switching back to the Axxis pads for street and something more...

    I just cut off my cats and put on the Corsa and high flow cats. Then had Midas guy weld them on while on the car. If they put it on a lift at the right height they can weld all the way around .

    Dodge better pick up the hp.

    "If you want an exclusive car, buy a high-priced Benz or BMW." Exclusive cars?? They are dime a dozen around here. I must see 3-4 AMG's and M's each day on the way to work. Who knows how many others I see but don;t get close enough to see the badges to know that they are one. SL's are...
