    Anything on the Miami VCA special yet? I will be in Miami for the show & would be interested in a more in depth look at this boat.

    V10 powered boat

    I posted on this months ago, but one big point is that the engines are much lighter than the typical Merc big block, particularly ones with blowers. Also, at 600 FT/LB the torque is very good for a 505 CI engine. Both these things are very important in a lightweight cat. I just saw more...

    Thanks to John Gastman, for going out of his way to help....

    John is absolutely the best guy out there, I purchased both my Vipers from John & wouldn't go anywhere else if I wanted another!!!!!

    C6 looks like SRT 10 latest spy pics!

    John Myrick - Yes, One Lap, thanks for the correction. I do not believe that price had anything to do with the choice of the Vette for the One Lap event. The engine in that car cost so much that price can't even remotely be an issue. Ron still has the GTS he won in previously, and it even...

    C6 looks like SRT 10 latest spy pics!

    YouWish - If a Z0-6 doesn't have a prayer against a GTS, why did a certain popular GTS owner switch to a Z0-6 for this years Cannonball when he wanted to get another win?? (and did, by the way)

    C6 looks like SRT 10 latest spy pics!

    To me, the view forward over the fenders of the SRT-10 looked remarkably like the view over the fenders of my 1970 Corvette Convert, so it doesn't surprise me that the front of the SRT and C6 would look similar if the C3 was supposed to be the inspiration. I do think the rear view is truly...

    How's a 3000 pound Viper sound....

    Re: How\'s a 3000 pound Viper sound.... I just looked at the Carrara GT specs posted earlier and at 3042#, if you leave the tops at home & pull the spare tire, you're under #3000. Also, 600+ HP out of 350 cu in is pretty good.

    Why does "Road & Track" bash the Viper?

    Re: Why does Russ, Why would the Viper kick the Carrara's Butt?? I don't think the Porsche would run away and hide from the Viper, but 560? horsepower, mid engine handling and ceramic composite brakes should be enough to take a Viper. I would think the weight distribution should give the GT...

    Why does "Road & Track" bash the Viper?

    Re: Why does I assume they don't give it good reviews because they honestly don't like it as well as they like other cars they test. I really don't believe that they are lieing in their reviews and withholding praise from the Viper that they really believe it deserves. The Viper is a...

    How's a 3000 pound Viper sound....

    Re: How\'s a 3000 pound Viper sound.... Porsche Boxster is also under 3000#, assuming you don't want the auto trans. And the 3.6 litre engine fits just fine & won't raise the weight. The SRT could loose a bunch of weight very easily with things like lighter wheels/tires, seats, and...

    Please post pics of Harness mounting point.

    Can Bob Pommer or someone else who has mounted the eyebolts for harness mounting points please post a picture of the actual mounting point on the drivers side center console position? It would help immensely to actually see where the bolt screws into the console as far as determining where to...

    SRT-10 Seat lowering kit???

    One thing I wondered about is if the seat will move forward due to the slope of the bulkhead behind the seat. it would seem that as the seat moves down, it will also have to be located slightly forward of it's rearmost stock location. This is troubling to me as in the SRT I have the seat all...

    DUMP CLUTCH AT 5,000 RPMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You would have a hard time selling the Lotus at that price, I think. Any verification with a similar sale on e-ay or - ??

    Run flats per Michelin

    Did he mention if Michelin was going to offer a Sport Cup tire to fit the SRT-10???? ( 19" size and all )

    MGW Shift Knob Choice

    FWIW - I found that I did not have to remove the shift boot ring to change the knob. I just wrapped a large towel around the stick and was careful to be sure the ring was not exposed anywhere as I went along. I saved that step and the ring is none the worse for wear. I didn't try to pull the...

    Tach action - Is it smooth??

    Only time I have been to redline while watching is in first gear, but it acts a lot like an old Corvette with a worn distributor drive bushing. Like it loads up with tension and then jumps higher then loads up and jumps again. Of course this is not what is happening as I believe it's an...

    Tach action - Is it smooth??

    Ron - you are shifting too low & accellerating too slowly to experience what I have been asking about. The erratic tach action is only noticable when accellerating fully, far above 2000 rpm. I have not experienced any bog, although I can't say for sure I have duplicated the conditions you...

    How many different wings are available for the SRT-10?

    Not positive, but I think that Autoform has either a wing or a rear spoiler available.

    Tach action - Is it smooth??

    Rob - of course it doesn't help too much if we are the only two - Anybody else who has watched their tach carefully while accelerating, particularly in first gear?? Viperzilla - it's not an acceleration thing, only a tach thing. There is no change in the smooth acceleration that would match...

    Tach action - Is it smooth??

    I finally got enough miles to really run up the revs, and it seems that the tach is kind of jerky when it gets above 4500 revs or so, not the smooth swing I would normally expect. Is this normal or do i have some electronics to look into?? Thanks in advance!

    Am I the only one longing for 18" rear wheels??

    Re: Am I the only one longing for 18 I'm hoping you're right about the parking brake modification. Sounds like something Sean Roe might want to look at.

    Tracking the SRT, I told ya so........

    The Illinois VCA region allows you to run at gingerman with no modifications if you keep your times above 1:40 and allow you to run down to 1:37 with just the addition of 5 point harnesses. If you want to run below that, you have to install the Autoform rollbar, but that comes with a pre cut...

    Am I the only one longing for 18" rear wheels??

    Re: Am I the only one longing for 18 DDV - Kinesis makes an 18" wheel that uses their 19" centers with a rim that has less drop than a normal 18" would. These are the ones they can not make in a 13" width because they do not have an appropriate back section that is wide enough. Not many cars...
