How did you find the Viper compared with the 308 on stock rubber/settings ? Had you tried any of the others on track rubbers/stiffers damping ?

ON the Kumhos are you running them on fronts too ? How do you find shoulder wear and outer scrub wear especially on track usage, do they ball-up badly ?
Glad you like it.

The 308 had the shocks adjusted but the tires were not an R rated compound. The 308 was a lot nimbler and handled dam good. I think the 308 would do better in tight autocross courses. But on any race track or an autocross course that wasn't as tight I feel the Viper would take it by far. Even if the 308 was on slicks it would have nothing on the Torque and the HP of the viper. But as far as handling I think the 308 would do better on the tight stuff and the viper would do better on the sweapers.

I am running Kumhos on the front an rear. I love them. They only last 5000 spirted miles and they pick up rocks that spray your paint. But they stick like glue. If performance means a lot I recomend Kumho V700.
