400whp FD vs 05 Viper convertible?
 
I will be racing a friend with the Viper. It is stock, highway run fron 45-110ish. Think I can keep up? I'm goion to try to get the 700+ whp Supra to race him and see if I can get a video of both races together.

You can probably keep up with the viper but the supra will definetly walk you both.

Walk??? Its gonna look more like the supra breaks into a run.... :p:

Supra with.... TEH WIN!!

Driver's will depend the outcome of the FD / Viper matchup.

Viper: 500 hp/525 ft. lbs. torque; 3380 lbs; standing quarter mile: 12.3 seconds

Have you run your car on the track before? I think the race would be pretty damned close; quite possibly decided by who launches first. Good luck, man. I'd love to see the vid.

ProjectD 06-27-05 03:30 AM

Wow! so 330 hp is all that is needed to keep up with a viper? I was thinking you would need quite a bit more than that....

rotorsownyou7 06-27-05 07:15 AM

He puts down 400 on high boost. You will win vs. The Viper. Make some vids of the Supra walking both of you!

RXciting 06-27-05 10:07 AM

Wouldn't the viper be a different story from a roll though? Still rooting for the FD. Good luck, post the video as soon as you get it :D

1QWIK7 06-27-05 10:36 AM

might be a close race between the FD and viper, i think the viper will edge you out towards the high mph mark though..

as for the supra, good luck, only thing you'll see are the circular tail lights..

FD Rey 06-27-05 11:15 AM

Brake boost, if you don't know how then practice, because you're going to need all the help you can get. The Viper's torque will take off of that 40mph roll like it got kicked in the ass.

slash the supres tires before the race......TeH 7 cant lose!!!!!

darkphantom 06-27-05 09:36 PM

that RX6 spools quick to hang with a viper so im thinking the viper will be tippie-tow walking away from you slowly


As for the supra imagine football lengths, forget tail-lights youll need microsope to see him

apneablue 06-30-05 04:46 PM

I have 412whp and a 800hp supra walked me pretty badly.

SkylarNeedsParts 06-30-05 05:52 PM

how would a 580whp fd run against a 700hp supra?

I still think that might not be enough to take a supra even with the weight advantage. Especially if this supra is the 6speed type. Remember, Gearing owns you!

SkylarNeedsParts 06-30-05 06:50 PM

im pretty sure that unless he wants to try 170+ that 120 hp will not make up for the weight difference.

rx-7s rock 07-01-05 03:44 AM

the FD should put at least a car on the viper.

iceman4357 07-01-05 08:55 PM

that 580 vs 700 would be a damn close race i think. Try and get that on video

:rlaugh: this stuff cracks me up,, anyways Hope ya win. You can take the supra if he is a sucky driver!

OneRotor 07-06-05 12:38 AM

i'm giving it to the 7 at the start of the roll with the supra. any supra running that kind of horsepower will either
a. bog at the start of a roll waiting for his turbo to spool, and when it does, he will blow his tires off of the rims

or

b. be boosting when he hits the gas from a roll, and blow his tires into a big ass cloud of smoke

watch out when that fucker hooks, and be ready to wave bye bye as he rips you a new asshole

IndyKid 07-06-05 08:35 AM

So. What happened?

that MIGHT be close..a close to 600rwhp FD is FAST!!

but those damn supras man, those damn supras are FASTER!!! lol :D

nah but yeah, i love them supras man..they are great cars..:)

btw, so what happened to the race?

FD Rey 07-06-05 02:57 PM

^ you kidding me? A 580rwhp FD is in the 10s, with a good driver, suspension, and tires, you're in the 9s. I know because Sporty's car ran 9.9's with under 580rwhp. It takes a lil more then 700rwhp on a Supra to hit high 9s or low 10s.

not really, 700rwhp supras are capable of running 10s, its the lack of traction that stops them from doing this..

reason why i said its fastER is because this is most likely gonna be from a roll..have you ever ran a supra off a roll, even one making only 500rwhp??

believe me, its not a pretty sight..:)

supras shine on top end, thats all..i have seen this time and time again, AND not only on the internet, but before my eyes..

Haven't set it up yet, I'm in Brazil these last two weeks. Will try to put it together next weekend.
