Just got home from the track and it looks like you guys have already heard about it, but I'll tell you my story anyway.

Ran a total of 3 passes. 1st 2 runs were shake down passes just trying to get comfortable in the car.

The 3rd pass I tried to stay in it for a full run(I have no safety equipment so I was a bit nervous). 60' was a not-so-good 1.51 and the car still ran a [email protected] fastest trap speed in ANY viper !!!. Jason read the data afterwards and the car stumbled a bit out of the hole. Car went straight and smooth. This thing pulls hard !!!

It was not a great day for racing. Most guys went home early. 80+ degrees. I'm very happy with the pass and when I get a cage in it, I will have plenty more from this car. It's only the beggining.


Stock suspension and sway bar still in place.

This car has great potential to go alot faster and will.

Video should be up later tonight. Z06Paul is going to host it on his website.

Congrats Jeff. Heffner builds wicked cars that perform right out of the box. No multiple trips to dial them in. Just make a couple passes and pick up your record. Again, congrats and nice driving.

Thanks Chad

Can't wait to get to a track together. My car is like your cars baby brother. Pretty crazy to think that 157MPH makes my car anyones baby brother... :D

Everyone thought my car was yours today. We told them it was, and it was running 12PSI and 87octane :shocked:

Gerald,

Thanks for the props...

I'm actually running low boost and 19"Pirelli's on the street. Not doing too much street racing anymore since I had the kids. I figure with these tires I won't be able to.The car runs great on the street and never gets hot.

Sheesh, that car has some power! Your shifts were very mild, the launch was even slightly bobbled, and yet the car just RIPS through the 1/4. You're right, I expect you'll tag low 9's (at least) once you have some seat time and swap the suspension.

Very, very nice.

I won't make E-Town until I get some safety equipment. They are VERY strict.

I'll keep you posted...

Twinvipers your 60' is not as good as some stock vipers therefore with no other change but a better 60' you will run (9.20's). If you get a 1.41, 60', 9teens is in the picture. I am sure an 8 is definately around the corner. GOOD LUCK...
