First, let me say, HOLY CRAP!!!! What hath God wrought!!!!
Second, let me say that Jason Heffner built a car that exceeded even my wildest expectations. Thank you Jason!
Take a deep breath!
I took the Viper out this weekend for the first time and let me tell you this car rocks like you wouldn't believe!!!! For those that haven't been paying attention, Jason Heffner supercharged and intercooled my car yielding close to 1000 HP at the engine. All this and I can still run pump gas!!
My first trip was to the gas station to fill up. The car drives very much like a stock car when you are easy on the gas pedal. Punch it and it creates a new dimension--literally!
I took it out on the highway and rolled through the gears. 1st gear--**** my neck hurts!, 2nd gear--what happened to my sunglasses?!, third gear--now we're moving, fourth gear--oh my god!--I thought those were dashed white lines, now they're solid!!! Even fifth gear pulls real hard. It's almost hard to believe that a car can be so fast (and quick) and still be so docile.
Jason's a great driver and in the past when he drives his car and I'm driving mine, he can always outdrive me even though my car had an average of 50 HP more than his. We were cruising on Saturday night and he punches it and I let him get a car length or so ahead of me. I punch it at that point and it looked like he threw out an anchor, threw it in reverse, and locked up the emergency brake. I passed him so fast I couldn't believe it! (Sorry Jason!! hahaha!!)
We cruised around town all evening. This is a car town and everybody thinks they have the baddest car around. At one point, a lowly Camaro (probably about an 11 sec car) pulled up next to me to egg me on. Normally, I wouldn't bite, but I wanted to show this guy what he was dealing with. He punched it briefly a few times and finally layed into it. I waited till he was 2 car lengths ahead and punched it in 3rd gear. Within about 6 car lengths I flashed by him like he was sitting still and had about a couple of lengths on him. No contest! There were many more that thought they could take me that night, but I wasn't having any part of it. Thank goodness I'm no longer on probation!
During the course of the weekend I had the opportunity to demonstrate "raw finesse" horsepower numerous times. This car is incredible and I invite anyone who is interested to witness firsthand how fast and yet how streetable this car really is to come on out, I'll happily demonstrate!
Finally, I'll be happy to put this car up against any Viper out there--bar none!
