Which way does the car go in a turn with that heavy, high center of gravity motor?

Simple, it doesn't.

Chad - as we have been through before, The SRT-10 handles quite well, particularly with Comp. coupe springs and Motons. I'm sure it pales in comparison to your car.

That might not be the case, your car runs.

I believe these threads need a little bit more of a light side. Of course the Viper is a great car.

jimrd,

KA is a street car first. Therefore she is an excellent street car and at best a mediocore track car. Never run across a Viper set up with Comp. coupe springs and Motons. So I really wouldn't know.

Hey Jim!! Why you trying to stir the pot??

I agree though. The 996TT motor looks boring in comparison to the Viper.

We need to get together for a joint Photo Shoot.

I will also add that the SRT 10 Viper handles very well. With Motons ... it is AWESOME!

Looks great, man! I powercoated the intake runners red and polished the top of the intake on my SRT and it looked killer! I'm digging the blue valve covers!

I knew you'd be here soon after I saw you get kicked off of Renn.
The banana looks hot.
