    The best 1/4 mile gear for Stock SRT10

    The cars are definitely able to achieve 1.7-1.8 60 ft times with the stock runflats. I launch at 2500-3000 rpm and quickly squeeze the throttle down. If the car starts to spin...forget the short time. It's over.

    The best 1/4 mile gear for Stock SRT10

    1.4 would translate into a high 10 second run. There has got to be to be mechanical issues limiting the cars hp to only run an 11.8 with that 60 foot time. 1.4 sixty foot times are smokin' fast.

    The best 1/4 mile gear for Stock SRT10

    My best time was 11.52 with the Runflats. I believe stock gen 3s are good for very low 11s with perfect conditions. A higher rpm launch with a dragstrip oriented tire would probably knock a quarter second off the time.

    The best 1/4 mile gear for Stock SRT10

    Stock runflats can net you sub 1.75 60ft times. Just takes the right day and some seat time. My best was 1.72 with many in the 1.75 to 1.8 area. If you can hit a 1.75 then you can easily run mid elevens.

    Transport recommendation

    I potentially need to transport a Viper from the Midwest to the East Coast. Any Auto transport recommendations? How much should I expect to pay?

    Corvette, Viper & Muscle Car Drags 9/20

    It depends on the year. The lines seem to dissipate rather quickly and most of the attendees only make a couple of runs. I have been able to make 8 plus runs most years. You should be able to make as many runs as you want. :drive:

    Corvette, Viper & Muscle Car Drags 9/20

    Yes I am the red conv. I actually was booed on my first run two years ago. I thought it was funny. I beat the z06 I was up against and it was cool from then on. It is a great event. I have been attending it for about 15 years. I used to bring my Corvette but am having more fun with the Viper...

    Value advice

    A friend has received a Viper as part of an estate donation to a charity she is affiliated with. The car is a 2006 Viper, red w/ silver stripes. It is supposedly in mint condition with 5,200 miles. They thought Blue Book is $64,000 which I thought seemed very inflated. Any thoughts?

    Corvette, Viper & Muscle Car Drags 9/20

    Abso-frickin'-lutely. Done it for the past 5 years. Lots of fun. This is the first year it has been opened up to all muscle cars in addition to the Corvettes & Vipers. Being I usually am the only Viper there it gets kind of lonely being booed by the crowd of Corvette lovers.

    "Very easy fix!#?"

    No matter what price you get it for it is still a Salvage Title. That is pretty much the kiss of death when trying to sell the car later. Plus, why would they total the car if it was an easy fix? The insuance company would have slapped it back together instead of totalling it if it was cheaper.

    First time down the track

    I have always had to shift into 4th gear. The more you improve your launch- the more you will need 4th. With a decently prepared track you should be able to run a 1.75- 1.8 with the stock runflats. Just takes a little practice. But that's the fun of it. Try watching this video. It applies to...

    va/md viper techs

    I liked the Viper tech at Montrose Dodge in Germantown. He seemed very careful. Montrose lost its' Dodge dealership so now it's Montrose Automotive. I am not sure if the tech is there still. Haven't needed him lately.

    Does the route you are taking go thru Maryland? If not, is there going to be a Maryland meeting spot?

    Thanks. You going to run your car? Buy some new drag radials so you might have a chance of finding a little traction. :drive:

    why do people hate on these cars so damn much!!!

    I have had only one negative reaction and that was someone in a Camaro going the other way gave me the thumbs down. I just chalked it up to assuming the guy thought I was in a Corvette and he was tired of seeing them.

    MIR 13.49 Convertible rule

    I participated in two private track rentals at MIR in late 2008 and early 2009. There were about 10-12 cars at each event. I ran an 11.52 at the last one and they never said a thing. If you are there at competitions and test & tunes then they probably are going to hassle you. Just get some...

    Hemmings update on Viper sale

    What's wrong? You don't think a $150,000 salary is fair for mindless assembly line labor?

    PS2'S at the drag strip?

    Lower the tire pressure to 20-24 psi. Drive around the water and back into it. Roll forward out of the water about 12" so that you are not onto the rubber already on the track. Do a 5 second burnout to warm the tires up. Roll up to the line & stage. Good luck.

    '08 & '09 pricing

    What colors have been produced so far in 2009? Are they producing them on a predetermined schedule like they did in 2008?
