a few guys that I know around here that race a bit seem to think that getting some sticky rubber and lowering the car should help significantly w/ wheel hop. But yeah, that guy pulling 11's on stockers, must be one hell of a driver.

Yeah, that's what I've been told by many of the pros. Lowering the car alone will almost eliminate it completely.

But yeah, good driving, no wheel hop, and some nice power gains with that CAI, tune, and X-pipe = one bangin' run!

Make sure you drive a Brembo car and put it in sport mode. With your foot on the brake, tap the traction control button twice quickly.

This gives you better throttle response, tighter steering, and more aggressive traction control and stability control settings.

Still havent seen a 5.0 but I did see something muuuch better, this second hand dealership run by immigrants next to the place I always get my lunch and my breakfast got hold of the last model Dodge viper, in those typical viper colors, 8.4 liter V10


I came when I heard it.

I want it

so badly

I am going to offer a trade in and see what they say :roflpuke2:

Viper is the ultimate "haha my penis is as long as my hood" car. :icon17:

BTW Vegitto, on my Mustang forums I've seen a few posts from some European Mustang owners, but most of them are in the UK or Germany.

Vegitto-kun 11-16-2010 02:39 PM

they are probably all imports

Nitex 11-16-2010 02:45 PM

Yeah no joke, i could go for an ACR.... but for that price i think id rather have the GT-R.
