viper keeps going side ways?
Hello VA,

I just wanted to get some opinion why my car is keep spinning tires and going sideways in 4th gear. This happened on lowest boost setting. It was nice and cool tonight so I decided to take my car out for drive and car keeps going side ways over 100mph so i had to just turn around and come home. Maybe I'll try with 70% throttle tomorrow and see if she drives straight. also, My friends 8.90 fully blown race civic with slicks didn't have a chance to hang with me tonight. I am not sure how to explain this but it sucks when no cars wants to play when you have this much HP. Maybe someone from norther VA will get UGR to build TT viper so I have some car to play with.

Do you mean the car pulls to one side when on the gas or just that the back end kicks out due to tire spin? I'm sure UGR does an alignment check along with driving test and tunes of some sort before the car leaves the shop. Might be time for some new tires, start with the usual places like Jegs or Summit racing online and see what they might have in stock and ask UGR for some recommendations on your TT setup as well.

My car had a similar "problem" when it came back from Underground Racing (assuming you can refer to an overabundance of horsepower as a problem).

Here is the solution:

1. Install Quaife rear differential;

2. Mount Kumhos, drag radials or ET Streets on the back;

3. Keep your foot in it;

4. Smile and repeat.

I've never done drugs in my life, but I can't imagine there is anything much more addictive than horsepower.

I saw your car when I was out there and it looked incredible!

Be careful and enjoy that beast.
