New wheels for my ACR E

[SharpMan]

The rods, pistons, wrist pins and crankshaft are the first. Once I have the car in my possession (July/August), I will look and evaluate. Maybe there will be something totally outrageous that would be fun.

You and Doug Shelby should get together. Maybe a collab?

From what I have seen, in what he does, Doug Shelby currently supplies the most well thought-out aftermarket Viper parts. In fact, I have ordered most of Doug's parts for my Viper.

Another part that I have already ordered is the carbon clutch supplied by Nth Moto.

Doug's parts and service speak for themselves. Truly an asset to the Viper community.

The Nth Moto clutch is also top notch. Best aftermarket clutch I've ever owned, hands down.

Make sure you got the triple, not the quad. The triple is plenty strong and lighter. Do you have some kind of goal weight on this car?

[Robert Linton]

Thank you.

No goal at this point but my guess is that anything less than 150 pound to 200 pound weight reduction will have little or no real effect upon performance/handling.

P.S. The normally aspirated horsepower goal is 850 - 900.

What tires are you going to run? The kuhmo's are absolute boat anchors. I have the same wheels as you, but 18X13 18X12 and with Hoosiers the car dropped 80 lbs alone just from that. You going with Doug's Tillett seat set up? That will be 150 lbs just from wheels/tires and seats. How much weight are the motor internal parts projected to save?

[Robert Linton]

Will be staying with the OE seat. Am not a racer (never have been) and do want at least some comfort. With size tire do you use front and rear? Thank you.

ahhh, ok, not getting as hardcore with this as the Porsche? hehe. The Tilletts are actually supposed to be a lot more comfortable than they look. I run Michelin slicks now

[Robert Linton]

Actually not. I have always kept my cars comfortable. In fact, usually adding more leather, retaining or enhancing the sound system, etc. For me weight reduction is not about removing (stripping) things, but is about redesigning/re-engineering components to be lighter, stronger and better. And as I am not, nor ever have been, a racer, would never run slicks nor subject myself to the discomfort (for me) of a racing shell type seat (although, if I would, I might choose Recaro or build a seat specifically for my needs).

Thank you to all my customers, especially those who push the envelope like the 2 guys posting directly above. I can justify some more extreme and fun projects I know might not necessarily sell well thanks to these two and a few others. Can't wait to see Mr. Linton's car together - it is going to be a beast!

Yes, this is going to be a good one for the Viper community to see.
