    Another Snake Bite!

    Honestly - I have never had an issue with smooth application of power. There's nothing that says you can't go fast, turn fast, corner, stop - etc - but you don't get in this thing and drive it like a 4 cylinder rental car (the on / off gas pedal... tee hee) Do people actually get in these...

    High Performance Tires

    Oh Fred - come on - it's much easier to just say the run-flats suck than it is to try to learn the limits of adhesion and drive accordingly.

    Why not have control

    The Viper Competition Coupe has EXACTLY the same wheelbase as the SRT-10 as it starts with the exact same frame.

    Why not have control

    I fear that no manufacturer really wants to install a stability or traction control system and have it COMPLETELY turn off with the simple push of a button - because - the same folks that are bitching to get it mandatory here will be "turning it off to be a man" or to "get better feel" and wreck...

    I Wrecked My 800hp Sc Srt Viper...

    In 1993, NY started the seatbelt law. I made it my New Years resolution to wear my seat belt. I have NEVER been without one since. You've gotten your one free pass / blue moon occurrence of "better off without one" (and even THAT is debatable looking at the passenger compartment) but you...

    I Wrecked My 800hp Sc Srt Viper...

    Please wear your seatbelt - ask EMT's how many bodies they've had to cut out of seat belts vs. how many they have to retrieve from outside the car. Luck saved your life - not not wearing a seatbelt. Glad you're ok - this could have been MUCH worse.

    Bleeding clutch?

    That damage does seem kinda excessive. We've dorked up a bunch of stuff - but never taken out all those components at once. Hmmmm. I am glad dropping my name instilled such fear - feel free to use it again. ;)

    New Team Tech Harness ALL Screwed Up

    We clip our antisub straps all the time - even in the racecar - you can safety wire them so that the clips are unable to open. Especially in a street car, you want the clips so that you can move them out of the way.

    Bleeding clutch?

    I suspect it's the slave - we've had that go out and the symptoms were the same. Folks will tell you that that "doesn't make sense", but that's what it is.

    Viperdays Question

    Do come - VIR is an outstanding track, a safe track, and an excellent facility. Stay AT THE TRACK and you won't miss a thing. To get your car ready, you'll need to either a) have a hardtop and b) reserve a free rental hardtop early with Courtney. You'll need to change your brake fluid to a...

    Bleeding clutch?

    We're using Castrol SRF - but that's because Henry likes to pee money away and like "consistency" in fluids. If I had DOT4 brake fluid around, I'd just do that. Keeping it clean is good - it sure as heck doesn't need the high temp and low hygroscopic nature of expensive brake fluid. And thank...

    Bleeding clutch?

    We've been using a "my-t-vac" with a very fine tip and suctioning out through the loosened bleed screw on the bellhousing for a few years now. One person sucks :D and the other keeps the reservoir filled. We've found that the stuff gets pretty nasty, but has never caused a failure. Also...

    Re: I can\'t get into my gallery and upload............... I am sorry, that's not good enough. You said "quickly" and by God, I want quickly. Since this didn't happen - I think that there ought to be REAL CONSEQUENCES. I am thinking human sacrifice. Pick a National Officer - marshall goes...

    ACR brake cooling piping??

    Then use them for fog lights - truly - that is all they are good for. The holes for the lights point DIRECTLY at the tire. Trying to use that low pressure area that would require about 6 right angle bends to get to the brakes with NO ROOM is futile.

    Viper Crash

    I am sure they will be sued, but would you sue a homeowner if you crashed into their house because it was too close to the road???? Stay on the road - single car accidents are quite easy to pinpoint fault. Overall - very sad.

    Viper Crash

    There was a barn a bit behind the trailer.... That was a horrific high speed hit - and the driver was ejected over 60 feet from the vehicle. RIP Anthony Burgee (sp?)

    Friend Rolls His RT/10 Twice Over Embankment

    City - believe me I am NOT always right - but this one - I was so impressed with the roll bar - and we had such a problem cutting it out to remove weight (did I mention that it was HEAVY???) that it stuck in my head. again - always condfident in the structure of the RT/GTS. Hardviper -it's not...

    Friend Rolls His RT/10 Twice Over Embankment

    I believe the structures are identical. The internal piece of the "sport bar" is a 1" x 2" box tubing piece that is seriously strong, tough to cut and amazingly well attached to the car. We gut out of the first race car we had and it was a BEAR to remove - I have always felt confortable with...
