Caught a 2006 SRT-10 Viper on the freeway. Pulled him 1/4 car length by the top of 4th. He asked me if I knew my car shot flames.

Those are amazing cars. Out of my price range though from what he said. ($70,000) Gave him the thumbs up.

 

what are your mods?
NICE KILL! i wanna get one soon!

 

Im not sure on the price, but i thought it was about 80-90 for an SRT-10 (note just looked it up, MSRP is 86k). Mods that you have?

I personally dont like vipers, only because they have *** for traction. Their weight distribution is like 70/30 or something like that (or it was, they might have changed it). Just my opinion though, they do have decent styling i suppose. Its also a heavy *** beast, 3380, without driver. Gas milage is paltry at best (12mpg, and thats probably if youre NOT on the gas).

It doesnt have traction control, and even dodge says if you want to drive it well, youd better have some decent driving/racing history. meaning the average joe with a lead foot, isnt the best person to drive it. Not to say that the guy you raced was incompetent, because im sure that he was on it quite hard during your pull.

Its got some decent horsepower, and torque, but with an *** that big, it better have something able to move it around.

Good kill, im sure it surprised him to see a 7 that was just as fast as him. Like i said, just my opinion, but keep it up, show those guys with more money whats up!

 

Wow what are your mods? I ran into a probably 98 GTS coupe on the way home from MIR on sunday with intake and exhaust and i ran right next to him...From a 3rd gear roll.nice kill

 

i remember when i was what 9 years old and vipers were my dream car lol. nowadays u'd have to pay me to drive one, (gas and insurance)

 

just some corrections
Vipers weight distributions are 49/51 for the vert and 46/54 for the coupe
3380lbs is not heavy for a car with that much power - roughly 500hp/tq depending on the year-
especially when you consider my FD weighs 3200lbs and my FC weighs a whopping 3600 lbs (I just went outside and checked the door frame stickers)
it's real easy to hate on a car when you don't know it's true abilities and specs
only highly modded FD's keep up with these beasts

 

whats wrong your fc that it weighs that much?!?!

 

it's an S5

 

lol

 

yeah that was specific

 

Those aren't the vehicle weights, I believe they're max. vehicle weights if completely/fully loaded with cargo. Not how much it weighs without the driver.

 

that is with full load. meaning soaking wet, passengers and cargo too i believe.
if u were to weigh your car it woiuld be significantly less. Noone looks at those numbers.

 

dude you can't just come in and say that you killed a viper and not post mods...

I was running around 1 bar of boost, tuned by me. Very cold night (20F), and it was pulling very hard. I trap 110MPH at only .75 bar. I'll upload one of my time slips to prove it.
Remember, he was TEST DRIVING it, so obviously he isn't taking full advantage of the car, nonethless a kill is a kill. I'm far from a professional driver myself, but it was an empty interstate, so all I had to do was pop it into 4th and go. Unfortunately I didn't get video because it was a last minute thing, I saw him cruising around, and had to pester him.

Racing my buddy's turbo hatch which runs anywhere from high 11's to low 12's depending on weather, so I have a very strong top end. He claims his strong point is top end too. I posted the kill because I felt some people would like to hear the 7 is getting some recognition.

 

that civc isnt running 11s or low 12s. He is lieing to you or his car wa son low boost. 320 rwhp in a fd is a mid low 12 second car at best. u arent pulling a 11-12 sec car like that! its really that simple. Sorry to be that guy that calls bs but something isnt working.

His time slip before it was tuned. He's much higher than 319fwhp now that he received a new tune. Unfortunately his 4th cylinder went out on our way to the strip last week. He's rebuilding it now for a GT35R and C116.

 

108 trap/ so i guess that makes sense for u to take him from a roll.

 

Look, this story wasn't fabricated. I have nothing to gain on an internet forum by lying. I figure it was feasible if there was a new driver in the viper. Not to mention they dyno around 430RWHP. And with an extra passenger I think it's quite possible to beat one by such a little margin.

I just got the word of the 7 around a little more, maybe some more respect gained for the little 1.3L that could.

 

i hear ya. its just fun to talk about. beating a high 11 sec car in a 320 rwhp fd is quite, umm, a good run.

 

I don't know how much RWHP I'm putting out. I haven't dyno tested it yet. By the way, our little video we made was before he was finely tuned.

 

k. thought i read somewhere 320. whatever its no big deal. i will retract my bs call. i just found it hard to swallow for a fd with your mods to pull a high 11 sec car so easily. i mean u pulled right away.

anwyas do u have bigger injectors? what kind of duty cylcles are u running i9nto with running 14psi?

 

Thanks for updating the mods. Good kill

 

Not trashing on you or your car. But if you trap 110 your car isnt gonna hang within a few cars of a viper on the highway. I ran into one who said he trapped 119 with a 98 gts with intake and exhaust...which would put right at probably lower power than that srt10. I trap 121 with my 40r and i ran right next to him..he might have been in a lower gear or just not used to it and not running it out. But no matter...that is a kill...and a nice one!

 

Okay, you make yourself look like a complete tool by saying that. The weight distribution was what it was in previous years, so ill give you that, since you seem to have possibly looked some of it up. Aside from that, youre dead wrong. 3300 pounds is a fat *** biatch when it comes to cars. Anything more than 3000 and you want to have some good numbers. by the way, as already stated, your FD probably weighs 2900, not 3200, and your fc is a whopping 2800 (or around there) What you mentioned was GVW. That means like they said, full tank of gas, 2 passengers, and 100 lbs of cargo.

It is easy to hate on a car when you dont know what it does, but ive thouroughly researched it now havent I? I posted all of what you mentioned. Plus, ive watched the LeMans race, for the past 10 years. Dodge Vipers run that race, and dont do too bad, rather, didnt do too bad, till they stopped getting manufacturer support. The problem they have though, is that their *** end was always heavy, if you got it swung out, youre spinning, more than likely.

Im not trying to flame you, but look up and know what youre talking about it, before you speak.

Theres always someone thats gotta hate on a nice kill. Keep it up man, It is definitely possible under the right conditions.
