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.

 

what times do you pull on the bottle?

 

You really don't have much power. Plus he's already over 500hp stock.

That's why my current plans don't stop until 500whp.

 

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.....

 

He had you beat before the race began. Not only did he insure that by saying lets go from a 50 roll, but you was in an auto, he had more power, alot more.

 

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

 

No track times on this ride. I might bump up to a higher shot. He had to be a little surprised, I mean the car is quit (cut out was closed ) still has stock square tips and salad shooters

 

I had just invested in hotcam and LT4 gear so I was ready for action! This viper pulled up at 65 next to me, hit it and disappeared in about .04 seconds. I felt like I was in a Pinto.

 

I ran one with my Mustang at the track once. I was trapping 107-108 and when he went I literally thought I had the car in reverse he left me so fast.

 

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.

 

but if you added 2 more cylinders to an ls1




wait....never mind...

nice try.

"you can't just get in the ring with Ali, because you think you can box!"

 

 

I was on my ninja 636 and raced a viper from 40mph, won, but hardly even pulled, it was neck and neck. Fast cars, pushing 600hp!
I don't think he downshifted too!

 

ninja 636 would not even be close! He'd kick your *** sooooo bad (the viper that is).
