Somebody on either this forum or on the Alley has run a high 1.3 on a very mild Viper - if I recall it only had headers and basic stuff like that.... nobody has been able to duplicate it and the guy who did it had some trick on how he could pre-load the rear tires before launch.... which sounds...
Re: Vacuum pump tech; free up that hidden horsepower
Greg - great points you made and also great points made by George.... I love this stuff :2tu: It helps real knowledge advance on the forum and reading a lot between the lines on what was NOT said - it is great to know we have a couple of...
Greg great point - and like you - I couldn't care about the outcome as I have no vested interest. However, that issue got personal and so those two will never agree. Your excellent point has been made several times (by me at least twice if not 3 times - and by others) - and nobody except a few...
Re: >>> MANNY\'S CAR vs. WORLD\'S FASTEST PRODUCTION BIKE -- 180+ MPH <<<
Those first few runs before heat soak started to hurt the performance were absolutely ballastic.... definitely one of the best free video's done on a highway. Also one of the few videos you can REALLY tell the speeds are...
ab - Bwahahaha! :D that was funny - but I'm sure not true :2tu:
Torque-monster - name says it all. My first major engine combo had a brief to take a 3000lb car and launch it from 0-200+mph in under 7 seconds, and within a 1/4 mile. That meant a dragster engine was not going to cut it...
good post Fluffy - it is about time the European and British auto media took note and stopped bagging the US for producing big OHV engines - when reality is the US engines are smaller, lighter and more torquey than their high tech Jap, UK, and European counterparts.... the only thing BIGGER on a...
hahah that quote from the OneLapofAmerica head was funny.
Actually the lightweight Ferrari's can post very good lap times, but they do not like drag racing very much, and they tend to self destruct at monotonous regularity in endurance events - I remember one particular 360 race car going onto...
Wow - I wish there was something the community could do to pressure DC to bring him back. Without visionaries like him to lead- DC will slip quietly into the shadows again as the other makes catch up and pass by - waving as they go.
I've heard his ME 4-12 project is getting canned - that would...
what an excellent idea for a thread.... tho I 'm sure DC no likey
Still - why pay Viper tax for everything if you do not have to, you made the biggest investment when you bought the car!
Now you are talking!
Austin - I hope DC is lurking this board because you just outdid them in the design stakes. Your rendition looks sleek and purposeful - creating a blend of classic Viper with the new generation SRT10.
If they used your rooflines then simply lost that ridge line along...
Great pictures Nadine!!
And for what it is worth - your car looks like the one worth $6m, you can see the Daytona heritage in the GTS design, but the Viper looks so much better even if it does not have the historical pedigree of that coupe.
power wise - a certain sc car just had a TT fitted and on the exact same motor - no other changes other than what was necessary to go from SC to Turbos the car dropped from 10.3's to 9.5's at 156mph. Even allowing for differences in boost pressure and track, the TT car has the speed edge if it...
Congrats to 2ManyToys and Kevin at Underground for getting yet another top result and bringing a top performing car. Despite a head wind, sounds like that blown car made a lot of power :2tu:
Great choice Simms! Jesel are better than T & D - and a lot of people know that T & D have been the standard by which other rockers have been judged for the Viper for some time.
Of course Jesel are also more expensive too - but you get what you pay for :cool:
If you ever install a...
awesome numbers there Dan - that car is going to howl with one of the best top ends I've seen on a SC Viper. The car won't see less than 4000rpm in racing - and that will make it a hard act to beat.
Good luck with the racing program - if the air is cool - you may crack 200mph in the mile - let...
:D LOL - I wasn't referring to your post Mike - which WAS good humor. If you read some of the posts here in light of the many over at the other site - you'll appreciate how much rubbishing has been going on about something that hasn't even been released yet... it reminds me of all the bashing...
I think a lot of laughs have been had at TNT's expense over this, and their marketing hype is certainly premature as nobody knows how it performs yet....
having said that - I hate to see people innovating then made fun of. We risk making ourselves a jacka$$ to rubbish something before it is...
If they have been looked after thay can last a long time - there are members that have Vipers that have done 100,000 miles, but you are doing the right thing researching first because there have been issues.
If you can swing the extra - consider the generation 2 as the engine is better and...
