Hey guys, I'm taking my much loved viper down the 1/4 mile this week in a memorial event. Does anyone have a few tips? I've been down the 1/4 in a variety of cars, but never the viper.
My model is a 94 RT-10. Basically stock. Would you suggest I lower the tyre pressures to 20ish psi? What's the optimum launch rpm that you've found works best?
I've read a variety of times from flat 12's to low 13's running 115ish mph. My stock 89 nissan GTR ran 12.5 at 108, but this is a different kettle of fish.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as I expect there will be a large mustang and corvette turnout and I'll be the only viper...

Thanks well noted! I'm running 08/09 rims so 345 rear tyres from Michelin. Fairly new and good tread. Does anyone have any comparative times?

Just do like everyone else. Google or Read a Book. There is so much information out there
