All I did was post the results of a run, as many of us do here on 6speed. Do you now (paksiho, SCvet), think that I'm lying about it? I have outrun other cars that have trapped higher than my GT2 at the drags, what do you attribute that to? Them spinning their wheels at 120mph? I can assure you that wasn't the case with the other Vettes and mustangs that I have rolled on with.

And as far as nutswinging why is it that members of a certain other "unnamed" forum (pakisho)always resort to name calling and personal attacks when someone disagrees with them?

 

I believe Renntech V12. For those of you who have not owned 800+rwhp car you just don't know. Racing for 4-5 seconds is a joke and not a real race for a high hp car. If the race was to a higher speed then the Viper would have taken off.

 

I agree, but that's all we could do and still feel safe about not losing our licenses and getting arrested. I can only post what happened.

 

I was there and right behind both of them when they did these roll ons. The Viper was not loosing traction at 130mph lol. Joe lost and posted about it. End of story.

 

Yeah, now everyone shut up. Luis has spoken his piece and he is a gentelman and a scholar and a born leader of the free world.
And he needs some pos rep points as 30 clearly is not enuff.

Oh and I could say that when Joe bought my GT2 he took it to Detroit and raced a C6 Z06 and whooped his ****, but I wont say nothing.But it did happen.

 

who wants a car that can't get traction @ 130mph

 

#1 The viper is the ultimate street car for modding with HUGE displacement these cars can push 1700 rwhp with a bore and stroked motor and Twins. Your not gonna beat that in a straight line very often, or even come close.

#2 For cars who take 10-20 seconds to go from 30-130 it may be legit, but that short of a race is not a good indicator of how much one car may or may not be faster than the other. HOWEVER, there arent safe roads in the state to safely run to 200 MPH side by side, even that will cover lots of ground real fast and you cannot swerve!!!!!!!! Must be completely straight.

#3 I have run my TT vette vs my modded turbo from about 40-120 and it was similar with my vette pulling about 3-4 lengths which surprised me but in 5-7 secs you can only go so much faster than a fast car before traction becomes an issue.

Both points are well taken but we only have so many options to test when it comes to high speed unless we take it to an airstrip.

 

Nobody here should fault you for that. I have been far north of that racing Saad's silver car but that was on a private track in Mexico....

 

Just for giggles, what fuel and what ignition is required for one's street registered 1700 rwhp Viper TT?

 

Regardless of a cars manufacturer, a 130mph car can't run with a 150mph trap car. Like they say "Horseshoes and hand gernades"

 

Are there any street cars making 1700 rwhp? I've seen 1480...but never 1700.

 

I believe Heffner's performance has one or two but I don't know if I would call them street cars.I know he claims to get that hp out of them on race fuel with a stroked motor.Check their site Scott.

 

C16 at the 1700rwhp level. On pump they will make mid 1100rwhp numbers.

Ignition system, bone stock minivan coils ... I wish I was kidding

Just run an AEM standalone PCM for fuel/ignition/boost control and you're good to go.

you guys can try to hate on the viper but it's a bad **** if you have the brass to handle it, especially when they easily make 4 digit rwhp. And believe me they don't sound like UPS trucks when they are setup like that.

Gearing bad? ha! Being able to trap near 180mph in 4th is NICE... lets race to 230.. oh wait, is there a 996 that has enough gear to go that fast?

Has anyone ran an 8 in a TT.... how about a 7?... traping 183mph <crickets>

I'd love to see a wild 996 like VRAlex or Markski run against a hard core viper on the highway. Say 50-220? Garth is in Vegas near Alex... that could be some fun entertainment during our little vegas trip.

Yeah the interior blows but I could care less, other than that the car is as hard core as it gets... makes a GT2 feel like C4 tip on the "oh chit" factor.

 

Yeah, chad, the guy with the bumblebee viper that was the first in the 7's had 1700 at the time, I think gary javo has a couple vids on his site driving a 1700 rwhp viper.


edit: yes I was correct garyjavo.com he runs an 8 with DR's on. and yeah it's a street car. It's not the HP that makes it a street car or not, generally guys with auto glide tranny's, drag suspension, chutes, etc etc etc are the ones not considered as street cars.

 

So a twin turbo Viper making 1700 rwhp uses stock coils and an ignitor built in to an AEM ECU.
