    Quarter Mile

    Really depends on the powerband more than just the just the RWHP number. My 06 Viper Coupe with a Paxton had 700rwhp and only trapped like 129-130mph. Even if I would have bumped it up another 100rwhp on that setup I don't think it would have went much faster than 10.5's. The paxton was great...

    Paxton vs PD Blower - my Z06 vs my Viper

    A couple of years ago I had a Paxton 06 Viper Coupe and Header/intake only 07 Z06. My viper Dyno'd at 666rwhp and my Z dyno'd 502rwhp on the same dyno. From a roll race at 40 in both cars, the Z would pull ahead a car like in your case and by the time both cars were up to 140, the Viper would...

    What are Paxton Vipers running in the 1/4?

    My best passes have been 11.2's@127-129 Paxton and Corsa Exhaust are my only two mods. Jason

    Lets Settle This Once And For All

    I have the DLM intercooler and it helped A LOT, but it surely doesn't cure all heat soak. If you 1/4 your car a lot, after a couple passes you will see a noticeable drop in performance. If you do two back to back roll races you will see a drop in performance. If you go with a Paxton, you...

    11.34 @ 129

    Your so right. I can't believe that I would even post a response at all. I removed the original post so nobody has to read it.

    11.34 @ 129

    I never said I was stock .. Merely showing a 10 second pass from my Z06. Also can take from the video that I only had a 127.7mph trap. If the Viper can get consistant 128's I see no reason the Viper wont run 10's. Don't try reading into things so much, geeze. I have both cars, I could really...

    I think it will run 10's with the right driver..

    Horrible Dyno Numbers!! Why?

    Must be a mustang dyno, which they typically read real low. My Viper pulled 599rwhp on a Mustang Dyno and 666rwhp on a dynojet. Jason

    Beware of Iforged Wheels

    The fact is when you spend so much money on new rims, you don't want to hear "It's the tire shops fault". Too many people/companies want to point the finger at somebody else. There is also never an excuse for poor customer service! Jason

    I'd like to see all the color options :)

    The VCA and SRT are very proud to present...

    I like everything about the car except the ACR stickers on the side. But I think, I can live with them. Car is amazing!

    Official ACR info

    Can't wait till the offical press release. This car sounds like the perfect combination. I don't think I'd go with the hardcore package as I'd at least want a radio. :)

    So the 2008 isn't as good as the Z06? (new edmund's video)

    Driving my Viper with a Paxton is like driving a regular Viper till I get on it. As far as drivability, you really can't beat it. I think performance could be better, but I'm getting a lot of belt slip. Still even with that I run consistant 11.2-11.4's. If I fix the slip the car would be...

    Power Window Problem

    It's the service departments that make owning a Viper a nightmare. I had an appointment to take mine if for the Clutch slipping. I told them prior to driving 45 minutes that it had a Paxton SC on it and I wanted to know if it would be covered. They said they would have to look at it. They asked...

    Power Window Problem

    Those are the exact same problems I'm having. They absolutely refuse to even look at the window anymore because they can't seem to fix it. They said it's a hand built car, you can't expect it to be perfect. Jason

    Power Window Problem

    This sounds really close to the problem that I'm having with my window. It certainly doesn't always roll down when I open/close the door. I'm curious if any of you have your window not rolling up into the weather stripping groove? Mine rolls up outside and on a few occasions the window has...

    Some new pics of my Viper and Z06

    I might try the ceramic break pads first. I've heard they are night and day better for break dust, but don't stop as well. I wish I knew the difference in stoping power. Is it just going to make the car stop a few feet different or is it A LOT? Will make that my winter mod :) Jason

    Some new pics of my Viper and Z06

    I couldn't agree more that the Viper smokes the Vett in apperance. No question, I don't think anybody can disagree. I still love the car regardless of the problems I've had with it. Because, well... it's a Viper. :) I fixed the chipping problem for the most part on the Viper. Both cars...

    Some new pics of my Viper and Z06

    They asked for my opinion on the cars and I gave it. I never knock another car just to knock it as a few of you have done. I wasn't even going to post the pictures on here until I posted this up on the Corvette Forums. They have had nothing but nice things to say about our Vipers. One guy said...

    Some new pics of my Viper and Z06

    No the Z06 isn't stock. It's not far from it though. Only mods are Headers, Cold Air Kit, Ported Intake & TB with a Tune. Car pulled 502rwhp 474rwt. That's why when Wanted said 10's. I couldn't agree more. I know for a fact I'll be able to do it. Figure the 08 Vipers are going to have 30...

    Some new pics of my Viper and Z06

    Absolutely, I let my wife drive anything she wants. She's raced cars in the past, nothing as fast as these, only mid 12 cars. But she has a lot of respect for both cars, and that's really what it takes to not get in trouble. :) Here is the only picture I have with a decent side shot on the...

    Some new pics of my Viper and Z06

    Don't have any good single shots of just the Z06 yet, but here is a decent back drop for the Viper. On a side note, even though the Z06 went [email protected] today, the Viper is still faster. Never had cool weather like this with the Viper, could have only imagined what it would have run. :D We...

    So With 600HP In The 2008s, What The Heck Will A Supercharger Produce?

    The problem is overall heat soak, belt slip, etc... While the car may pull 666 on the dyno, it's certainly not pulling all that while driving around where the Z is pulling it all the time. I raced my Z06 against an 05 Viper with 600rwhp+ (150 shot of nitrous) and I got him by 1/2 car to...
