    First run-in with a new SRT-10 viper

    Re: First run-in with a new SRT-10 viper I'll take the bet. By this date in March of 06, you're truck will not have gon 6.99 or faster in the 1/8th with you driving it. The truck must remain in it's current configuration, with no more than $100 in upgrades between now and then. There must be...

    they ty has earned it keep once again

    Re: they ty has earned it keep once again Not a sy/ty, but I did a rear axle seal in an 88 Suzuki Samurai 300 miles from home in the parking lot of autozone. Going in and buying tools as I needed them, hitch hiking to a machine shop to have the axle bearing pressed off/on, etc... Nothing...

    thinking of stick-shifted ty ...

    Re: thinking of stick-shifted ty ... My WS6 weighed 3680 with me in it. I know it's not 4k, but it's not a staggering difference. I don't really see why a 1.5 sixty with 2 driven wheels would be harder on the transmission than a 1.5 with 4 driven wheels. The trans doesn't have any idea what...

    Re: thinking of stick-shifted ty ... The T56 transmissions are prety strong in stock form. I'd be surprised if you could break on with less than 550 WTQ. Guys are dead hooking them in the F-bodies to the tune of low 1.5 sixties pretty often. The most popular 2 stage rev-limiter is called a 2...

    New Camero SS with the LT1

    Ya, my LS1 dyno'd just a tick under 320 with only a lid and an exhaust cut-out. Oh ya, it had 1700 or so on the clock too! If only I could get that powewr somewhere close to the ground untill about 30 mph.

    What does it take to beat an LS1 in the 1/4???

    Nope, opti-spark went the way of the dinosaur's in 1998 when the LS1 debued in the F-body. The LS1 uses 8 individual coil packs that are controlled by the PCM. No issues there, infact I have seen several LS1's with 100k plus and no mechanical problems. The major drawback on these cars is the...

    What does it take to beat an LS1 in the 1/4???

    Holy crap, I had no idea what I was getting into here. For you to assume that I have no respect for these automobiles based on a few internet posts is absurd. I realize I may have come accross in such a fashion, but for you to take it to this extreme without knowing me... I have a tremendous...

    What does it take to beat an LS1 in the 1/4???

    I agree with not wanting a limited edition vehicle to be rusted out or totaled. But how many syty's on here are daily drivers? I think most of them are. Like I said earlier the power thing is secondary to reliability. Like I said, I think most syty's are DD's. What is the point of owning...

    What does it take to beat an LS1 in the 1/4???

    I've got a set of Mickey Thompson ET streets in my basement right now. Just waiting for the snow to melt so I can try them at the track. My LS1 makes peak power at about 5700 rpms, if (and that is one hell of an "if") I could drop the clutch at about 5k have the tires stick, the clutch hold...

    What does it take to beat an LS1 in the 1/4???

    I wanted the AWD due to climate conditions here in UT. My 2WD T/A is a real beotch in the snow. I've spent quite a bit of time on this board and have started to draw the conclusion the syty's are not the most reliable vehicle in the world. I also think that tracking down tuning issues can be...

    What does it take to beat an LS1 in the 1/4???

    I was wondering how much $$$ it would take to make your average syty outrun an LS1 power'd F-body in a complete 1/4 mile race. I have a 99 T/A right now (see sig.) and am considering a syty for a daily driver. I know a healthy syty will destroy an F-body in a stoplight race or an 1/8 mile, but...

    How do syty's do in bad weather???

    Cool, it sounds like I should be just fine as long as I don't do anything stupid. Now, is anyone selling a Syclone for around 12k?

    How do syty's do in bad weather???

    OK, I know every syty owner out there can't live in southern California, Arizona, or someplace like that. I live in Utah, and am SERIOUSLY considering a syty as a daily driver. This winter has been HELL trying to get around in my 2WD T/A. So what gives? I would think they would do OK in...

    AWD question???

    Does the AWD drive system on a syclone or typhoon distribute the power 50/50 front to back? Thanks. :smile:
