Re: Viper ran [email protected] with a 1.68 60\' Today
The 2000s and newer have the same cam specs EXCEPT the earlier model Gen 2s have 6 degrees more valve overlap, that is the big difference.
I drove my buddies Stock 99 GTS except for filters, I gotta be honest, it felt no lumpier than my cam???
Also, like STUGOTS said, the earlier cars have FORGED pistons - much better if you add boost.
I am afraid to add anything to this car, it is strong as is. I remember last time at ATCO I saw a guy with a Roe supercharged Viper on Drag Radials struggling to run
11.7@126mph. He couldn't get traction in 1st or 2nd.
With that power he should have gone low 11s easily if he had traction. BTW that car was a CREAMPUFF and running fine under boost for 15K miles.
I have lots more videos from our track rental if you want me to post them. There is a video of my Stang running
11.6@123+ on a 1.66 60' (1st pass not warmed up) and a
[email protected] (1.81 60') on DRs. It blew a head gasket after the second pass. If we would have combined the 1.66 60' to a warmed up car I know we would have run
10.9s@125+ on radials.
There are also vids of two of my buddies Cobras running 10s at well over 130mph.
