    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Well we are down to 4 days before we have to load up trailer sometime Thursday so on Friday we can get our badges, get the car thru tech inspection and do our prep work at the runway. We have multiple tunes in the car, each a little more aggressive than the previous one. We set up the boost by...

    Carbon Fiber Hood Repair help

    It definitely has a lot of cracks/spiderweb cracks going on, between that and the fit if it was mine I would buy a used OEM hood. I think that hood will continue to give you grief even after it's repaired.

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Had the car on Larry Macedo's dyno on Saturday and he has started making tuning adjustments. At 15 lbs of boost it made 1027 HP, at 16 lbs of boost it was 1097 HP, we need to work it thru the 5 positions eventually have the top position at approx. 22 lbs of boost. We still need to fine tune the...

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Here is a video from Wanna Go Fast in Ocala of my first run ( 177 MPH I think ), I definitely didn't know what to expect and I'm sure my lack of finesse shows. The clutch is a quad carbon and very much like a light switch, either on or off and no in-between, then add the boost on top of that...

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Updates: The attempt was scheduled for Oct 26th originally and after we got our badges to get on facility on the 25th we got a call cancelling the 26th and moving the date to Sunday the 27th which was better since it was suppose to rain Saturday anyway. That didn't last long as they called and...

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    We do some minor changes for better aero such as fog lamps are covered, all seams are taped off with helicopter tape, mirrors and wipers removed, we lower the car overall but the nose is lowered more than rear, that keeps a little more rake in the car as anything over 200 tends to push the rear...

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Top is installed back on the car. Coming together and will be either a 250 MPH Viper by this time a month from now or we will be looking for the next date to make another attempt.

    Here is the 232 MPH run https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w28...w?usp=drivesdk This is a video of a NA run that shows how long I'm at WOT. There were some crosswinds which pushed the car around a bit

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    Thanks but it is GTS Blue with silver stripes, it's probably the shop lights that make the color look so different.

    The Quest for 250 plus MPH

    So I have been working toward building a Viper capable of breaking 250 MPH for some time now. I've had success with my Gen 4 convertible topping 235 MPH in the past and felt like the aero etc on a coupe was capable of higher speeds so on October 26 I will make an attempt at what would be a new...

    Bucket List Item for a Friend

    You're welcome Jeff, he's a great kid and he's done a lot of wrenching on that Viper and others. I was glad to be a part of him making it happen along with many others that played a part in it also.

    Bucket List Item for a Friend

    I have a young friend Scott who found out late last year he has leukemia and has been going thru chemo, radiation etc for months with stays in the hospital several times of 2 to 4 week stretches. One of his bucket list items was to break 200 MPH in a mile and I'm happy to report that he took my...

    What a Perfect Day...........235+ MPH

    Here is the 235 MPH certificate from IMRA, doesn't look like there will be a 235 video as there wasn't a camera in the car for that. Doesn't hurt my feelings considering where the car stopped at the end of that run. I'm hoping I'm able to do a 250 MPH run at some point but that will require a...

    What a Perfect Day...........235+ MPH

    LOL, it was funny, Rusty doesn't talk a lot either and even when he does it's very low key. After I did the 235 MPH run and got back to start line a crowd of guys were around me as I pulled up, I hear one of them say " you just ran 235", one of the Lambo guys standing there then says " 235 point...
