Back at it again...

I don't have any good info on used vipers, but they are fairly affordable if you look around a bit. We got the red one for 23k with some mods but have since sold it because my brother decided he wanted a blue/white instead. We actually got the red one to make a track car because it had 70k miles (high for a viper) and we would feel less guilty blowing that one up. My car only had 8,000 miles at the time and the black one had around 12,000.


If you go to TX2k10, look for a graphite colored 08 and a lime green TT viper with black stripes. They are both from the area and I think both will be going.

RRE always had some cheap FWD 1G's running around and road courses kicking some arse back in the day.

The faster dsms that I know of are primarily 1gs, but most of the reading I see suggests 2gs can turn better.

^same here.

What are you going to do about the suspension? Hopefully find some nice street tires to put on there as well.

[slowbubblecar]

Still need to research what will work well for the suspension. I talked to the guy who is trying to get a group buy together, but am not sure f I will go that route or not.

Since you can get aftermarket struts for DSMs I suggest going that route for now. Get some adjustable Konis with nice springs, maybe swaybars too, and you'll be good until you want to get serious.

Hahaha, as you guys are selling them all, go buy another one. Do DSMers ever really let go?

Yep.

<=== example. :p

Why not track it as-is and worry less about building the eff out of it? Just have some fun man, isn't that what attending these races will be all about?

I say keep it super simple. A 60-trim on a road-race car? No thanks! Stick with a smaller turbo, even a basic 14b if you have to. The 16g has proven itself so many times over, just put in something like that and keep boost SUPER conservative, not "low to mid 20's" but more like 18psi. You cannot have fun at a HPDE if your car is blown up, overheating, or just plain not done.

I say keep it simple, do one thing at a time, slowly build the monster but focus more on the driving/experience/fun in the meantime :)

If you want to do something bigger than a Evo 3 16G/FP68, then I would run an FP manifold and some FP bolt-on turbo. Their stuff always spools great compared to T3 frame stuff. Their 61mm turbos like the FP3065 spool as good as most T3 50-trim setups.
