    Viper Magazine

    I'm afraid I have to agree with the negative post. This month's issue was quite a yawner. I actually opened it looking for 'MEAT' on the SRT. Seems like, though they wanted to profile VOI (and that's fine), but shouldn't they keep driving home the SRT message, and supporting the new car? How...

    Who is this dealer price gouging the srt-10?

    I really appreciate the certificate program. It was a GREAT IDEA, and worked exactly as expected! Even though I was not eligable (bought used), it makes me feel good about buying a DC product knowing how well they treat their owners. p.s., could someone sell me an SRT for 80 grand now...

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS of SRT/10

    Mike-- Cheer up mate! I want to be the one to remind you of something you, yourself said a while back. Remember, if someone is getting 119's consistently down the track at nashville in wet weather, you can bet that a 1/4-mile specialist will do 123. Keep your perspective--if we see 123...

    GTS vs. ACR Suspension

    I get REALLY frustrated with this topic. Everytime someone brings it up, INEVITABLY, somebody's gotta make some snide comment about how the person complaining about the spring rates in the ACR doesn't know how to adjust their setup, has never been to the track, has no penis, etc. Listen...

    Help me find third gear!!!!

    My experience with third: Early on, it was a REAL problem, and I never knew if I was going to hit my 3rd gear shift or miss it. I started flipping my hand and putting my thumb down to force me to bias the lever right when I shifted. It's been a year and a half now, and I never miss anymore...

    First time at the strip

    Wow! Thanks guys..Jason, from your mouth to God's ears.. Oh--the reaction times. I just totally didn't care. I just sat there when the light would go green and left whenever I felt the "time was right". God help me if I ever have to actually race someone. I figure I'll toy with reaction...

    First time at the strip

    Here's my best from this weekend. I'm such a newb. Very inconsistent with the wheelspin, but one launch was fairly good. I'm 100% bone stock 99 ACR with Pilot Sports, 20psi. If I can do a 12.1@117, anyone can. Elevens someday? I can only dream. Most of my runs were actually 12.4@116

    And the winner is-

    Yes, that's true! Sounds like a great reason to get everyone together...

    And the winner is-

    I almost bought a ticket. It's really great that someone so close to me and Tomer won that baby. At least we can be sure there will be ONE SRT in our area! Tom, this sounds like reason enough for a get-together!

    I AM ABOUT TO THROW UP.

    I just read the Automobile Magazine head-to-head SRT vs. Z06. In it they make the following claims: SRT trap speed: 120 Z06 trap speed: 114 0-60 srt: 4.1? 0-60 zog: 4.6 (or thereabouts, I don't remember) Brakes on SRT: BETTER Handling on SRT: Sticks better. And these fine author/drivers...

    The Sean Roe Supercharger Sucks...

    It's been my experience that the only way an MSD will eliminate pinging is if it has a boost retard. High energy sparks help spark blowout, not pinging. If I'm wrong on this, someone please chime in...

    Still waiting for some actual performance numbers.

    &lt;sniff&gt; okay &lt;sniff&gt;.... I feel better now.

    Still waiting for some actual performance numbers.

    Mike-- someone said the fastest speed they saw for the SRT was 119 at the drags. I hope it was a "press car".

    This is bad

    Thanks Mike-- The ONLY reason I'm not at VOI is the 2000 dollar ship fee. I'm not poor (yet), but I'm not stupid either. 20% of all vipers live in California. I vote for California next. over the last year, we've had ~5 inches of rain total. Lowest in all recorded history.

    IS THAT ALL THERE IS...

    It just goes to show that power isn't all there is to drag racing--i.e. ET. There is SO much more. Don't you ever ask yourself why there are so many Grand Nationals that WHEELIE off the line into the 10s? With a 3.8 liter engine and a turbo? It is a supreme struggle, from where I'm sitting...

    VOI 7 Drags update...Dan Black Sux at drag racing!

    Dannnnnnnn--- You are looking at the glass half empty.... 2.46 60 ft. time! Just think how much gold is there to be mined, and start mining it! You don't have to be at a dragstrip (or break the law) to practice your 60 ft. times... Good going--awesome car!!! 131! Thems motorcycle speeds...
