A dyno separates the men from the boys and we were happy to host the Southern California Viper Club of America for the 4th year to allow everyone to measure their... well... horsepower.

From Rick Hollis' 850 rear wheel horsepower 9-second daily driver to a Dodge Neon road-racer, the dyno gave the cars their report card.

21 vehicles were dynoed between 9am and 2pm including Anhtuan Pham's naturally aspirated 2006 Gen 3 Viper equipped with our own DC Performance's Stage 3 SuperTuned package which laid down a whopping 580 rwhp!

Great people, good weather, and better-than-average BBQing made for a very successful 4th Annual Viper Club Dyno Day @ DC Performance and we'd like to thank everyone who helped make it such a special day!!

****Videos/pictures and dyno sheets will be posted as we edit through all the coverage from the day. Please check back often!****

 

We are still in the middle of sorting through all the video from the afternoon but here are the results from the day....

More to come!

Interesting. It looks like there is only a 10 hp and about 25ft lbs in whp/tq between the Gen IV and the ZR1. No wonder they perform similarly, acceleration wise, up to 150mph according to mag numbers.

 

We will have all the individual dyno videos uploaded in the next few weeks...

In the meantime...
