Here's a simple test to know:
1) Stop somewhere safe and pointing straight
2) Rev your Viper to 2000rpm and drop the clutch then feed in the throttle as quickly as you can hook it.
3) Nail that sucker thru the gears - right thru to 6000rpm in 3rd, then punch 4th and keep going until you run out of nerve or road.
You have enough power if as you launch your lips begin to spread back and peel over your ears. This is what we might call the Snake Grin.
This should continue until you lift off.
If you can't get this effect - if your snake grin does not extend from ear to ear - then you need more power in that baby!
Now go do your homework and run that test - Dr's orders!
