    Thinking about lowering my GTS...

    I lowered my 99ACR 1" front and back. Although it looks great, it's too low and not only do I find it very difficult not to scrape the front, but I've scraped the under side on occassion when going at moderate speed and hitting small dips in the road. I believe that if you search previous...

    Changing rear end gears. Does it really WORK

    I have to hit 4th by the end of 1/4 with my 3.07 anyway. That's why I questioned the "extra" shift. I couldn't imagine the need to shift to 5th with the 3.55

    HELP! should I get a lawyer?

    Dependant upon where you live of course. In NJ all you need to do is show up (no lawyer needed) and meet with the prosecutor before court and he/she will pleed the case to a lower violation (ie. 2 pt ticket instead of 4 pt)

    Did any one see the Muscle Car show on Speedvision Last Night

    It was a good show and I enjoyed waching it, but I was a little disappointed that during their dicussion of the history of Vipers they failed to make any mention of the ACR ( a fairly major blunder on their part) Oh well.

    a mural for my snake pit

    Hi Joe and thanks for the compliment and good idea about sending the mag a negative. Runnr. I'd be happy to send a file to you. I'm going to try and get a better digital shot to start with and then can get everyone a decent file. What format would you need it in? Phil

    NHRA Roll Bar Regs?

    Thanks everyone for your responses. A couple of problems come to the surface though. Tom, is there a way around the fact that the seat can no longer go all the way back. I'm 6'5" and it's important for the seat to go all the way back or my knees will hit the dash. I've installed the seat...

    NHRA Roll Bar Regs?

    With regard to the roll bar that is required when running 1/4 mile times under 11.99 and would be good until you reach the 9.99 barrier, is there a hoop that simply goes behind the two seats and does not go down along the side by the door which would be in compliance? The car is a street car...

    a mural for my snake pit

    Thanks Paul. I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. The wife is not all that happy with me about the whole thing though. She doesn't get the whole Viper thing. I'm pretty sure she likes her minivan more than the Viper. Oh well.

    a mural for my snake pit

    Thanks Ruckdr I appreciate the compliment. GTZviper. Thank you. It was more than I should have probably paid for "garage art" and more pathetically the most expensive pc of art I own. The guy does really nice art and follows your lead as to what you're looking for. That one is 4 foot X 8...

    a mural for my snake pit

    I asked an airbrush artist (who typically works on Harleys) to create a mural for my garage. I picked up the final product on Friday and haven't had a chance to hang it yet, I wanted to share it with those of you who might be interested. Fortunately for me but unfortunately for the purposes of...

    Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ ... ROADCOURSE!!!

    Joe: Is that going to be time trial only. Looks too small (narrow) for multi car action. Will it be ready by the spring when E-Town opens back up. I can't wait. Phil

    CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY

    That sounds like a pretty good deal ( I wish I got that one). I got a 5 year for about the same money. Didn't shop it like I should have.

    Top Speed in Viper?

    Chris: Sorry if you were offended by my "waist of a day" comment. I'm sure all those who attended appreciated your hard work and clearly there was social benefits to the day but I would think it quite disappointing to have been restricted so heavily in the speed department especially if the...

    Top Speed in Viper?

    Rich22, I can't figure out what the heck you're talking about with regard to those video clips Matt Kovac uploaded. I downloaded them and was amazed at how slow they were going on the track and then later in the thread he discussed not ne able to go fast due to pace cars before and aft. I...

    Thanks for the Viper help on the Vette forum....

    Hey Z06Bliss, what the hell are you talking about saying " most Viper Drivers really suck" I remember smoking you by more than a second at Englishtown and I was on the brakes from the 1000 foot mark to the end. The only way you'll get a 11 sec run is if you take a ride with me.
