    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    HAHA! That's funny:) What the heck let me get in the mix, Supras rule;) JUST KIDDING! PLEASE don't take the Supra comment seriously:) For whatever it's worth I know a LOT of high HP Supra owners and most of them (by a very large margin) would rather have a Viper than a Vette (in fact many own...

    Roof DLM runs 9.93 @ 151 on blower

    Those calculators are very accurate when it comes to HP and MPH but they actually calculate crank HP. I have seen them incorrectly stated as RWHP though. 980+ HP is indicative of the stated RWHP Dr. Roof's car makes. Awesome runs and CRAZY MPH, that's for sure.

    9.9 @149.8 mph/My daily driver LPE C5

    Very impressive, saw the 10.0 video, sweet! Are you planning on cranking the boost and going back to the track again? Do you even have a cage in the car?

    9.9 @149.8 mph/My daily driver LPE C5

    That is FLIPPING fast! Congrats! Is this on a stock bottom end or a built bottom end still that retains the 346 stock displacement? How much boost? I would guess about 25 PSI peak? Also do you have larger turbos than the standard 650 HP stage II package?

    Saw a Ferrari Enzo Yesterday

    Actually the Enzo ran an 11.1 @ 133 MPH in one of the magazine tests so it would be a tough car to beat!

    VENOM 650 SRT10 QUARTER MILE RUNS 10.76 ON FACTORY TIRE

    Using the calculator based on your 138 MPH trapspeed and 3550 pound weight for the car the calculator says your car makes ~728 HP which is ~618 RWHP, very close to your actual 600 RWHP you quoted. The calculator works pretty darn well.

    VENOM 650 SRT10 QUARTER MILE RUNS 10.76 ON FACTORY TIRE

    Torque that calculator has ALWAYS calculated crank HP but many people confuse it and say it's RWHP and tuners say it's RWHP because when one of their cars runs a given MPH then it gives them an "inflated" # that makes the tuner look better. I'm not implying all tuners (including DLM) do this...

    VENOM 650 SRT10 QUARTER MILE RUNS 10.76 ON FACTORY TIRE

    Actually I came up with 478 HP at the crank for that trapspeed and a weight of 3600 pounds so if anything it seems a bit low which is not unusual as it is hard to use 100% of the HP the car makes.

    VENOM 650 SRT10 QUARTER MILE RUNS 10.76 ON FACTORY TIRE

    Snaekester, for most cars the HP calculator works better for MPH as the ET portion of it assumes a nearly perfect launch (very low 60 foot time) which we all know is tough to get. The formula for the HP based on MPH and weight is HP= (TS/234)^3 * W where TS equals trap speed, W equals...

    VENOM 650 SRT10 QUARTER MILE RUNS 10.76 ON FACTORY TIRE

    That calculator figures out HP at the CRANK. 133.5 MPH with a weight of 3550 pounds requires ~660 CRANK HP or ~560 RWHP. So the #'s are right on the money.

    Saw my first SRT-10 today....

    Actually I don't have the Supra in the sig anymore, need to update the darn thing. I currently have a ~650 RWHP T66 Supra, I'm planning on upgrading the turbo to a T74 and get back into the ~800+ RWHP range. As far as the GTS Viper VS SRT-10, it's just a matter of personal taste, I just like...

    Saw my first SRT-10 today....

    Thanks! I certainly am but I can't afford $85K+ unless I got rid of my Supra and even then it would be a stretch especially since I just bought a new daily driver/tow vehicle. I will most likely get a GTS soon:)

    Saw my first SRT-10 today....

    A good friend of mine just picked up his Silver SRT-10 today. Previous to this I had only seen the car in magazines and thought it was good looking but not aggressive enough (especially compared to the GTS which is my favorite Viper). In my opinion pictures do not do the SRT-10 justice! Awesome...

    Anyone w/ a Roe Supercharged GTS from Detroit race a Supra the other night?

    Very impressive. VR4's are not my thing, good cars for states with "real" winters though. I agree on the loan thing, although I am about to get one to buy a truck this week, should just buy a Viper GTS instead;)

    Anyone w/ a Roe Supercharged GTS from Detroit race a Supra the other night?

    Hey Jerome, nice little graphic. I'm curious, what does your own domestic car run?;) I wish we had some fast Vipers in AZ that liked to street race like Proracer!

    Who Was in the Le Mans Edition GTS With Roe Supercharger on Woodward?

    Sorry about that. Racing is fun win or lose (more fun when you win of course) :)

    1 mile drag race results... sorta

    WOW! Any other "notable" cars? Vettes? Supras? Porsches? Ferraris?

    Who Was in the Le Mans Edition GTS With Roe Supercharger on Woodward?

    Gotcha Larry. I hear you on the "tricks" some people will use. Cooling does make a difference. My friend Ryan Woon dynoed 880 RWHP on boost alone with his 98 Supra and 934 RWHP by spraying NOS on the intercooler. So it definitely can make a difference. By the way on the 1173 RWHP pull the Titan...

    Who Was in the Le Mans Edition GTS With Roe Supercharger on Woodward?

    Larry, not sure if you are implying that you must ICE Supras to make big power but when I witnessed Titan's 1173 RWHP pull (95X RWHP on boost alone) it was done with no icing and after about 5 back to back pulls. As well as several other 800 to 1000 RWHP pulls I have seen for several Supras...

    Who Was in the Le Mans Edition GTS With Roe Supercharger on Woodward?

    Do you not have an upgraded fuel system? A T66 Turbo is capable of ~650 RWHP (you'll have to run some race gas as that turbo must be spun to ~25 PSI to do that). It may not be enough to run with Jeff's 680 RWHP Viper but it'll give you a better chance. I know some people don't like cars that...

    DLM III+ (pics)

    Is it just me or do the end tanks on the intercooler kind of look like fangs on this car? It is menacing looking that's for sure.

    Who Was in the Le Mans Edition GTS With Roe Supercharger on Woodward?

    This is only true if the Supra owner is not good at driving his car. From a rolling start it is very easy to powerbrake (6speed or auto) a boosted car to bring the boost up, then when the race starts you let go of the brake and you'll be in the powerband and torque band. I have raced cars with...

    My thoughts exactly! That's a sweet car and a sweet garage!

    Why is it that 4 bangers can run 19psi of boost and vipers not

    I hear you on the boost issue. I believe Russ M. is speaking of large turbos when he's talking of stock 2JZ's running 45 PSI. The big difference of course being that it is far more stressfull on an engine to run 30 PSI producing 1000 HP than it is to run 30 PSI producing 600 HP. 9's on a stock...

    Why is it that 4 bangers can run 19psi of boost and vipers not

    The only GN motors I have seen running that much boost with a large turbo that could support high HP (800+ HP) have had built motors. There's a big difference between running 30 PSI with a turbo capable of making lots of HP and a small turbo PEAKING at 30 PSI in the lower RPM's but making "only"...
