    Motor Trend: Mini Cooper Beats SRT in slalom

    In the Car Of The Year issue, the Mini Cooper S went almost 2MPH faster through the cones than the SRT-10. I don't know who should be embarrased--the Motor Trend drivers or PVO. Braking--SRT = 104 ft. Fantastic, but not the 90 feet whispered about. G35= 112 ft. Just one foot more than a...

    Need some info on CALIFORNIA cars

    I hope Steve Furgeson doesn't mind me posting this news: "Todd, we had dinner with 7 key PVO people tonight and they all told us that the Cali Cert came in 2 days after the rest, so there should be no issue. They have even delivered over a 150 SRT/10's so far. "

    Please help settle this debate!!!!

    At 80, third gear is the right gear to pick. As the above poster said, rev the rpms, then drop the clutch all at once. The car will appear to leap ahead, and you will quickly become a point on the horizon. Friends who've seen me do this all say they have never seen anything like it. If you...

    anyone road racing a 99 ACR

    No problem! And make sure your shocks are working. I hated my ACR for a long time, because it was oversprung in the rear. It turned out that my right rear shock was almost useless, leaking. Once I got it fixed, I really discovered what an ACR SHOULD have felt like!

    SRT/10 Pac-NW VCA event. Driving / Riding Impressions. VERY LONG.

    This is still THE prototype driving impressions write-up on the SRT. This is the one I think about when I think about the car. Just got off the phone with JonB today. I'm all pumped up AGAIN on the car after talking with him! Thanks JonB! Can we get someone else with an early delivery date...

    11's stock- what's needed (help)

    Re: 11\'s stock- what\'s needed (help) Your numbers were the same as my best, right down to an identical 60' time. I'm not in a hurry to get back to the track and hit that 11, but if I did, I would be going for 12.0 something, or trying just to hit 12.1 again (only did it once that day). I...

    From the koni manual: Setting up Finding a good set-up for your dampers may seem a difficult task. It is not, as long as you keep in mind to; -Make changes to the settings in small steps (1-2 clicks at a time), -Keep track of all changes made and their effect, -Aim for a good chassis...

    The Beast Came Unglued!!! What the heck happened?

    Dean-- It looks like the negative camber is in the "after" picture on the rim that hit the divider. As far as I can tell, the "before picture of the left rim looks good.

    The Beast Came Unglued!!! What the heck happened?

    This was truly an amazing story. I will keep it in mind when driving around, myself. Thanks for telling it. On the theories as to what happened--I guess I don't have enough data to comment, but if no other problem was found in the car, it would definitely point to some sort of traction...

    Which cars come close to being better than Vipers?

    Not trying to pirate the thread, but I watched a new cobra run on the day I was at the track, and was left pretty unimpressed. It ran about the same as the Lightning pickup truck + a few MPH. If there were no Viper, I would definitely be in one of (in no particular order): M5 M3 E55 Z06 Grey...
