[QUOTE="svt1111, post: 15176655, member: 88172"] Those are great mods. I'm guessing you're right on for low 600's. Mine made 556 bone stock. I figured it would be 525-540 so I was pleasantly surprised. You sound like me, I work a lot too, and last year I put about 3500 miles on mine, mostly driving to and from tracks all over the North East where I live. I think I drove it maybe 5 or 6 times just "because" ( and a friend of mine has a 10 second Grand Sport who always wants to race, lol) and only once all year with my wife. She loves it, but I can't DRIVE the car with her in it, because she has a medical condition which makes her dizzy and nauseous from acceleration. I have other cars, and I will almost always drive those for street cruising over the Viper, I just don't enjoy it on the street. I'd suggest maybe switching to Pilot Super Sports for street driving, as they ride okay and don't pepper the wheel wells and rockers with pebbles quite as bad. I have Toyo R888's on mine and they sand blast the rockers. I had my whole front clip clear bra'd, as well as the top leading edge of the roof, specifically so I wouldn't care about track debris damage to the paint. I asked the shop to do the rockers too, but they forgot, and in my anxiousness to get the car on the track, I took it and now the rockers aren't looking like a garage queen anymore, lol. [/QUOTE]
