VENOM 650 RUNNING 8.90\'S E.T.

It was late last night we were hanging out at a local hot spot.
This place we hang out at is a hot spot for fast cars and bikes.
I was there with Toooofst, Chuck 97 GTS, Issac 460 and 3 other
Vipers in our group. In total there were 7 Vipers there, the Viper's were definitly a hit. The word was out, Tooofst just ran a 10.83 e.t.@ 135 m.p.h. on Wednesday, I ran 10.90 e.t. @ 131 m.p.h. last month. The other Viper guy's Chuck
and Issac also ran killer e.t.'s. Viper's are now feared in
this area. Anyway this Guy (we will call him John) came up to
us asking about a C5 Vette, he said he was suppose to meet this
C5 Vette for a race. He told us he met this C5 owner at Great Lakes Dragaway and challenged him to a race here in Chicago. We knew who he was talking about, we just had a run in with the same guy just last week. This C5 owner talks a lot of trash and that's all he's good for. Tooofst asked John where he was from, he said Janesville Wisconsin and that he trailered his car
down from there. I asked him what kind of car he had he
told us he had a Venom 650 with a 3 stage
NOS system a $2000.00 cam and drove around on Nittos.
I asked him what kind of e.t.'s he ran he told us 8.90's
@ 150 plus m.p.h.. I said WOW, Tooofst was in disbelief
the other Viper guy's were amazed. I went over to Chuck
and told him he said NO FU**** WAY. Chuck said the fastest
Viper run's mid 9's (excluding Sir Hiss). I knew this but I
always like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. So we told
him where to find this C5 Vette and that we would like to see
this monster Viper. He said sure, he told us that he parked his
Viper at his Uncle's house and to follow him over there.
So we got into our Viper's and waited for him to drive over so
that we could follow him over to his Uncle's house. We waited and
waited but no Venom 650 owner. We thought maybe he would meet us
at where the C5 Vette was, when we arrived at where the C5 Vette
was there was no Venom 650. We waited
around till 2:00 am but still no 650 Venom.

Does anyone know of this Viper?

Running up those flags was probably very appropriate! I'm pretty sure the quickest living Viper in the world (running the Viper V-10 engine, 6-speed trans and independant rear suspension) still belongs to Tony Kirk of the North Texas region. It's a TNT Motorsports car and has run 9.63 at 150.01mph.

Maybe SOMEDAY a V10 Viper with a stock drivetrain configuration will run in the 8's......... but not yet.

Tooofst,

Kingman listed the record as far as I know -- TNT Viper with a 9.63 at 150.01.

I think a Doug Levin car ran a similar MPH but no where near the ET.

It goes without saying it is a Texas car.

Re: VENOM 650 RUNNING 8.90\'S E.T.

I had someone here in AZ tell me a couple of weeks ago that he knew a guy in California with a street Viper that run's 8.5's. I told the guy that I thought it was probably a V8 conversion as the fastest V10 I knew of was in the mid 10's and this guy was pretty sure the Viper had a V10. The guy didn't seem like a BS kind of person and was a big Mopar fan. I think he was just misinformed.

Anyone know of an 8 second Viper in Cali? I think he said the guys' name was Ron.

I believe Roy at TNT went 9.39 at the first Viper Nationals in 1999.

Nope.. The best time out of the old KingSnake was a 9.67 @ 149. That was at Norwalk at the Viper Nationals. They have a new car in the works but I'm sure they won't keep it a secret if they raise the bar. I'm looking forward to VOI drag racing, let's just hope they prep the track and we can lay down some numbers at Bowling Green.
