[99 R/T 10]

You have got to be kidding?! That is sweeeeeeeeeeet

 

[Dreamert]

Noooooooooo !!

What a nice way to make me cry...

I just can't wait to be able to afford myself one of these.

That blue-gray (sorry don't know the exact color code...shame on me) GTS looks badass with that front and those wheels !!!

 

[GTS-R 001]

The car now has,
Autoform front end
Autoform Wing
Autoform Roof scoop (Functional)
3.55 rear end
rebuilt engine
8 psi pulley
SRT / Comp Coupe brakes
ABS 4 channel!!!
Penske 3 way shocks (dyno'd )
and lots more....

Now that is sweeeeeeeet! Love the color and the VR-1's look great.

 

[98MODMTR]

Dizam!

 

[BLUESNAKE367]

Got Viper? sweet asp ride and the ones in the garage are'nt bad either...

 

[Matthew Howell 97 GTS]

Wow that is what a GTS should look like.
Is the 4 channel ABS from the Comp Coupe or SRT-10?

 

[Dv8tor]

First of all, I hate you! J/K Your cars look great. I love the wing.

 

[Hirohawa]

Looks sweet! Love the color and those Forgelines are perfect.

Is your hood properly shut? Or is the gap from the Autoform bumper?

 

[Fiorano]

Your car is close to mine in appearance, except color. I have the Forgelines and autoform fascia. Please tell us more on the brakes.

Questions:
Did you cut a hole in the roof for the roof vent?
What size front tires are you using with the VR1s? I have 285/30-19s.

 

[Fast Freddy]

did you have to swap out your master cylinder to change over to the srt-10 brakes?

 

[GimmeTheSpeed]

I had a chance to see the car in person when I was down at Valaya... amazing!

 

[GTS-R 001]

Matthew Howell 97 GTS,

The ABS is actually from something else, the SRT10 and Comp Coupe only have 3 channel ABS, Ted is keeping this one close to his chest, and I promised I would not tell.

 

[GTS-R 001]

Hood is shut, The Autoform parts while good looking when on are a *&^#$% to fit properly.

Let's see the cc.

 

[GTS-R 001]

It is the same master cylinder, if you want call Ted May and pick his brain on the brakes, this is probably the best stopping GTS out there, any where. Ted already has a list of over a dozen people lined up for the same brake setup.

 

[GTS-R 001]

Let's see the cc.

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

Awesome. Thanks. Gawd, I wish DC would build those for the street.

Let's see the cc.

Steve,
That's a cool collection of Vipers you have there. I saw your GTS and CC the last time I was at Ted's shop. Both awesome rides. How do the Gen 3 brakes on the GTS compare to the brakes on your SRT-10?

 

[Bugeater]

So do you plan on doing any comparisons of your GTS with new brakes vs. the comp coupe or SRT-10?

Dave,

They squeak about the same, and believe it or not the GTS feels like it brakes better than the SRT10, the tires grip better ( non run flats ) so the ABS is damn near impossible to trigger on the GTS.

 

[GTS-R 001]

I know Ted was planning on doing this but I don't know if he ever did, I predict that the brake distance will be between that of the SRT10 and the Comp coupe, but closer to the SRT10 distance as the tire and especially the weight advantage of the comp coupe is too much for the GTS to overcome no matter how good the brakes. Once it gets dry up here is Norcal I will try to get some braking distance #'s together for you.

 

[Bugeater]

thanks a bunch Steve.

 

[Fast Freddy]

your post is most helpful. thanx for all the brake info.

Steve,
Sounds like a great mod for the Gen II. Leave it to Ted, Al and Bob. Great bunch of guys.

 

[Venom500]

Great looking group of Vipers. I love your new project. SWEEEEET.

 

[GTS-R 001]

Venom500 thanx for the compliments!

Bugeater and FastFreddy, I will post the info as I have it for you, I think that any racer would save seconds with this upgrade.

Dave I couldn't agree more! Ted is putting my new stand alone TRACTION CONTROL in next week!!!

 

[Rich Wesorick]

That looks to me like David Barr's CC that was rebuilt after a big boom at Road Atlanta in WCGT.

 

[Bugeater]

Did this car go to Thunderhill? (not the CC, the original thread topic)

Been to any track yet?
