What are the chances I can get in the low 10\'s in Quarter Mile ?
Soon SVS will be completing all the mods to my 2006 First Edition SRT Coupe and I will be taking it to the strip to see what she will do. I am wondering what my chances are of running in the low 10's as my goal is to take on a budy at the strip with a bone stock Hyabusa that is running high 10's.
We have raced many times last summer with my other Viper a 1999 ACR and believe it or not we were fairly well matched on the expressway. For some reason the ACR has always been fast on the top end and I have raced several cycles on the expressway in the past with the ACR always pulling slowly but surely away as I dont let up a bit like most for even a second. Sometimes it's even funny seeing the bikes in the rearview once they get into what I would guess is around a 150 mph trying to handle the turns and rough roads. I for one have never bought a bike as I would surely not be here otherwise. Up until running with my buddy and his Busa these were all 600's with two of them being the R1's. Everytime I race these guys and beat them they would wave me down and say only the Viper can do that as no other cars have ever done that. I have raced several 600's from maybe 20 - 30 mph as well and we were neck and neck. I never have had my ass waxed but I am also sure these were all stock bikes and probably just your average riders as well.
Just two nights ago I was flying home down 90 heading to Saint Charles where I live and probably crusing around 120 when I saw a guy tucked way in on a bike weaving in and out down the expressway ahead as I was creeping up towards him so I knew he was moving. The guy almost turned right into me as I was coming up on him in the far left lane because he must have thought he was flying so fast there could not possibly be anyone that would pass him and just as he was about to change lanes WHOOSH there I went and I startled him as he jumped back in the middle lane.
I knew he would be hitting it after me so I gave him no chance and as soon as I passed him dropped her down a gear and stomped it to the floor. He tried to keep up but I continued to slowly pull away all the way to somewhere close to 180 mph. I saw him far in my rear view turn off on a ramp and then I began to slow as I was approaching a pack of cars very fast! Wow the car was really dodging around and a bit of a handful when ******* the brakes from that speed.
You have to love it when these cars are so fast you can actually take on and target bikes. I love a challenge and this is what drives me. I always laugh when the big loud Harley's start trying to take off and never have a chance as I always blow them away and love the look on thier faces.
Anyway, with my fairly stock ACR I ran a best of 11.9 to give you a sense of my apx drag racing skills - even though I probably could have eeked a little better time if I was not powershifting so hard chirping the tires with every shift. The only other Viper there was running Nitrous and was only running low 11's and maybe a high 10 or two.
I am a fairly experienced and knowledgable driver and will have a big added benefit of having the Racelogic traction control and launch control system on the new beast. I am a bit of a computer **** so I will eventually have this system totally dialed in you can count on that. I have not yet decided on tires even though I have a set of DR's I bought and could use. I know traction will be the biggest battle. With the right suspension mods, TC, LC and DR's do you think with a 3.55 Quaife, 1000HP Half Shafts, Paxton Novi Intercooled supercharger, B&B Headers, Corsa Exhuast, SVS short throw shifter, high Octane Fuel, New rotors, Overall taking about 150lbs off car (no xpipe, rotors, headers, exhaust,lighter wheels) and Free flow intake that I will be there ???
If not where will I be and what else will it take to get me there (no jokes please as I am serious in trying to reach this goal) ?
Any input would be much appreciated or anyone with a similar setup please pass your numbers on to me to help give me some insight.
Much Appreciated and I will post pics and timeslips as soon as I can.
