SVS wins Hot Rod Top Speed Challenge - 218.95 mph!

[SVS Turbo]

I think the minature camera lens got affected by the salt when we were at Bonneville last year.

Sorry about the quality of the video lately. The camera we're using is the same one we used at Maxton in 2001.

More to follow later!

[Viper TT/10]

[Go Fast For Life]

Ron,

Congratulations on the win and thanks for sharing the video. What an awesome ride!

 

[BlueGTS]

Nice Video! Does the car really weigh 4700 lbs?

 

[JGK95]

CONGRATS AGAIN JR!

SR. and JR.
Great run. Video made it look like a walk in the park. Car ran straight and true.
Really impressive to see Jr. pull the twin shutes to slow the car down from almost 220 MPH!

What we do not see is all the late nights and hard work getting the car and team ready for such an extreme effort.

Think anyone that is thinking about ultimate performance should talk to you guys.

Thanks for stepping up.

Only a handful of Viper Professionals can attempt such a amazing performance.

 

[Big Medicine]

Wow

220 in 5th gear.

 

[SVS Turbo]

We don't have the T-56 hooked into the Motec. It should be reading what gear you're in.

Viper TT/10 - Thank you for recognizing the hard work!

Go fast for Life - You're welcome / More video to follow

Blue GTS - Yes it weighed 4700 lbs for this race. We can take out or add weight accordingly.

JGK95 - Thanks for your supportive comments always! Go Sox!

Paul Hawker - That was a very insightful comment and I appreciate it more than you know!

I have another couple videos and will have them up soon. Thanks for the support!

Great video, and congrats on your win! Thanks for sharing it with us. The rider of the 219 mph Busa was impressed with your Viper! I put a link to his on-bike video run in the Snake Pit, if you want to view it... it's a bit shakier than your video...

WOW!

You've got to give it to the guys on the bikes that push the limit at Maxton.

I know what it feels like and being on a bike has got to be a rush beyond!

Very cool

 

[SVS Turbo]

What RPMs are you turning in 5th gear at 220mph with the T56?

Wow

220 in 5th gear.

We're not going to our max but I can say that it's somewhere close to a can of 7up

 

[Fast Freddy]

then you must be runnin 3.07 gears

 

[futureacrowner]

2.55's and keeping it in 4th would probably be a better idea, but one heck of a run guys. Congrats on doing it in basically a pump gas trim. Now get it to hold together at the big # and put 15mph on the top end.

 

[DanAuito]

The new kid is speechless! Really liked the way you kept hold of the wheel, not much correction there! Nice driving!

you plan on running 150mph in the 1/8th mile with those gears like stated in an earlier post? can't wait to see your setup. also can i buy some of the tires you are going to use to accomplish this 1/8th mile task and then be able to break off 240+?

 

[SVS Turbo]

Congratulations on the win! It was good seeing you guys.

Did you have the red camaro that went 199 and drove it all the way from chicago to NC and back?

That's awesome and deserves big respect

 

[SVS Turbo]

Ron,

Congrats to you and your Dad! Nice speech tonight.

See you soon!

Rob

Thanks Rob !

I always forget everything I would like to say but I'm glad you enjoyed it.

When we hold the dyno day we'll go for some pulls on the road
