Viper Owner
I am meeting alot of my Mustang buddies from www.svtsnake.com (I am a moderator) and bringing my NEW snake.
My 01 GTS is BONE STOCK yet feels at least as fast as my old modded 03 Cobra (12.2@116 - 1.9 60' - 445rwhp/452rwtq SAE).
My question is:
What is the best way to launch on the stock radials?
With my 03 Cobra modded, my best launch on stock radials was to launch off idle which resulted in a 1.96 60' and a 12.29.
When it was almost stock my best launch was to hold the rpms at 2500rpms and dump the clutch and go WOT when it grabbed, this resulted in a 1.96 60' and a [email protected] grannyshifting. My buddy powershifted it to a [email protected] with just a filter and catback.
I always grannyshift, my best run ever in the 03 was a [email protected] 1.93 60' on drag radials slipping the clutch at 3000rpms.
If I launch off idle with the Viper is it capable of a 1.9 60' and better than 12.2 and better than 116 trap?, I don't want to be embarrassed!!!
I also don't want to break any half-shafts, always my worry with the Cobra.
Thanks,
Howard
