on the bottle full throttle still got pulled
Not much of story teller here, come to think of it theres not much to tell. I was on the Bottle (125 shot ) full throttle from a 50 roll to well not sure how fast he made it up to but i stopped at 130 with him a good amount of bus lenghts ahead. Man are new Vipers fast I looked good for about the first 3-4 seconds and then he walked hard.

yes i have raced one from a 50 roll and since im an auto i didnt have a chance... he pulled on me but not "hard". Race from a dig and the story might have went different for me. Vipers are sick and should be approached with caution.....

I agree with you being waaay outgunned. Sounds like with your setup (motor only) you might have 260 rwhp + 125 shot of gas. Taking into consideration that usually 125 shot really does only give you about 100 actual hp at the tires...estimate so you are pushing 360-380 rwhp. Then take into consideration the power to weight ratios for both cars, trannys and speed starting of the race at 50+ = a big time *** whipping for ya.
Way to run anyhow, It never hurts to lose to a faster car as it fuels our passion that much more to get to where we want to be.

Don't the brand new Vipers top 125 mph traps? That's insane for a showroom-stock vehicle. Don't even get me started on the new ZR1 though. One of the documents you sign at purchase needs to be an arrest warrant because of all the things you're about to go do with the car

Yea the new ones pull like fighter jets. I was trapping in the 116-117mph range the other night and running 11.8x's-11.90's. That sounds like nice track times but on the street going at highway speeds is a different game. Totally out matched and under powered.
