Re: my gsx launch and flyby
Not everybody can have a super fast dsm. This takes time and money...
I think you have a nice dsm and shouldn't sell it..
dsmlink, 3in GM mas, and a type s and it will sound bad ass. O and hit about 21psi on that quick spooling turbo! But I'm just like that I guess.

Re: my gsx launch and flyby
I was just messing with you. Don't take the internet so seriously.  My car was slow for years, then I put a bunch of money into it, and it's still slow. And more broken. |

Re: my gsx launch and flyby
Car sounds nice. I would do it in the day next time and get rid of the spotter car on the same side of the road. Maybe it is just me but I don't know that I can stay in one lane when I am on it. Better safe.

Re: my gsx launch and flyby
If I had a viper I wouldn't be able to stay in one lane either. Would be to busy smiling cause a viper is my dream car

Re: my gsx launch and flyby
I'm not trying to pass judgment, and perhaps it really is hard, but how are you driving a viper if you can't keep it going in a straight line?

WOT + Torque = car moving around Torque is unpredictable; you will hook and haul ass one time and go straight sideways the next.
I had sevearal AWD dsms and launching was fun Guess I still have one if I decide to put it back together...

Fwd torque steer on a bumpy Minnesota road is a handfull without power steering. I have never been in a Viper going balls out though.
Poofy, what are you running for boost? Your video looks a lot like it was on wastegate pressure.

Re: my gsx launch and flyby
^^^threeks?????
123ABC is correct about FWD aswell. Last higher HP car I had driven was a 2G Gst with John L's old 60 trim. Wheel pointed straight, car was all over the road. More manageable though. Car hauled ass but still an issue keeping it straight.

Re: my gsx launch and flyby
i'm running a constant 14psi. i dont have a mbc on it, just the bigger evo 3 16g waistgate actuator since it has the evo 3 exhaust housing.
