Man, I'd pay you good money for a ride in the mile in something like that.
SVS and others have been ~230mph in the standing mile. If I'm not mistaken, SVS continually runs with Michelin Pilots on a stock Gen 3 Viper wheel. I have Pirelli P-Zero Rosso 345-25-20's currently. I could go down to a 2.72 rear end gear or just mount a 30-35 sidewall tire on my stock Gen 3 19's and pick up almost 20mph on the big end. The standing mile lasts less than 20 seconds for me...so it's not like I'm running it at Bonneville or something crazy like that.

Congrats! Unfortunately my Viper isn't quite as powerful.

I believe SVS is a race car setup that ran the standing mile correct? Not a street car I believe.

SVS is borderline. Either way, they run an OEM Wheel, with a Michelin street tire. I just hope I have the nads to hold the throttle to the capablity my car has in it.
