they might be quicker now.... there aren't many, but they're out there....

Is this guys car a street car or full out drag car. If he is a street car with no cage or anything then he is full of crap. In order to run 7's this thing will be full tube chassis tubbed slicks, hole nine yards.

 

[STUGOTS]

he said that the kid was "kicked off the track for doing 200 in the 1/4 mile with no cage.

 

[PRVT JET]

Please stop repeating what they are saying, I can't even believe you are questioning some of these stories.

 

[STUGOTS]

well when someone wants to give a modded viper 5 cars in the 1/4 mile you gotta question what they have no?

 

[PRVT JET]

Yeah, but when someone starts talking about 7 sec. street cars, I know what I'm going against.

 

[DanLyon]

I would run him guys but I dont have a license and that is causing me many problems right now.

Besides I can race off the line I would spin bad.

Finally a few words of truth: "...but I dont have a license..."

quack, quack, quack

Remember, Sir Hiss ran mid 7s, and he streeted it.
I was also reading about Mustangs in Super Street Outlaw (I believe) running 7s on 10.5" slicks. Those cars looked vaguely streetable too. And by "vaguely" I mean "you better pray the cops don't see that".

Both of those are large cube V8s though. If you were to get 7s with a rotary, it will look like some Space Shuttle crap going on under the hood, as well as a violent idle, mega loud, probably running some kind of rocket fuel / methanol mix.

I'll tell you what. If he can drive the car from Ct. to Long Island, I'll race him. Then it's a street car.

Bring it on...

 

[STUGOTS]

They wont drive that far for a race, they never do the farthest they will go is like bridgeport CT.

 

[twinvipers]

For 5 grand, most street racers will travel pretty far. See if you can get me some real info and pictures of the car.

Is it a tube chassis race car, or a real street driven car with a/c and a small tire ?

 

[STUGOTS]

he claims they wont go outside of CT.

I dont know

 

[twinvipers]

I'll go to them if we can get some more info on their car.

 

[VIPER D]

If you need support I will show up as well. Maybe even run him. Viper brothers always have my support. I live 15 min from danbury ct and we can use my house, hummer and garage as a staging area.

My blower might be done by then. ???????????


blown by d...

 

[twinvipers]

Sounds good D

Is there a good spot you know of to get this race off ? Any tracks around you ? For 5k, I wouldn't mind doing it at the track.

well they have a nice spot they race here in norwalk I have been to it quite a few times and its not too shabby.

D
thanks for the support that really cool of you.

Glad to see the viper family does stick together.


BTW they are realy big into racing here and EVERYONE thinks they can take a viper so there is a ton of money to be made here, on a saturday night (thats when they race) you can walk away with well over $10k 1 thing about these guys they got rice cars that run like 13's at max but they have all the confidence in the world in them.
