Viper 1/4 mile times

[Silver_2000]

At Speedzone we got to talking about Stock Viper 1/4 mile times.

It was mentioned that new ones ran in the 10's ... I find that hard to believe

here is list I found. http://www.fast-autos.net/14mile.html

A tuner Viper is only running 10.7

Here http://www.caranddriver.com/xp/Caranddriver/comparisontests/2002/september/supercars/0209_sc_challenge_opener_stockers.xml stock viper only ran 12.6

Anyone else see one go in 11's stock ? or 10's ?
Thanks
Doug

PS - If 12.6 is right, My truck at 4900 lbs still beats a Viper :D :burnout: :nana2

Look at the list at #4 and #7, those are both Vipers as well:D
12.6 stock was also with a "good" driver...I have seen guys at Ennis (have on video) who couldn't pull mid 13's on them:hammer:

Those are Tuner cars... FAR from stock

What does the TWIN TURBO do stock?
That was production and non tuned.
According to my trusted Car and Driver Magazine, December 2002 to be exact...
Viper ACR/00 = 12.2@119.2
Viper RT/10 /00 =12.3@118.2
Viper SRT-10 /03 =12.4@117.2

page 154, again, those times are with drivers that CAN drive.
I have video of a blue Viper RT/10 at Ennis that couldn't pull better than mid 13's.:beer:

September "02" Road and Track shows:
Viper GTS-R 12.5@118.5
Viper GTS 12.5@117.2
Page 134.

I think it all depnds on what STOCK model you are refering too...the Twin Turbo was a stock model that would toast any of the forementioned....your gonna make me go find the magazine aren't ya...:hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

Hmph... Put exhaust/intake and upper pulley on a 03 Cobra and you'll be smokin' vipers left and right..

I say high to mid 12's with driver

Didnt realise that DODGE made a twin turbo Viper..
My research has shown that ALL turbo Vipers are Tuner cars
Hennesy or Stryker or whoever ...

Somewhere in the 10 year olds tornado struck room is a magazine that HE had to have...all because on the cover it showed a Viper and said, "Worlds Fastest Production Car"
Then in smaller print it said "twin Turbo, 0-60 in..." (sometning like 2.9).
He had to have it to keep me in check in case I started talking smack...LOL.
He gets home at 5 tonight from his dads, I will "appropriate" the magazine from him and see what it is.
It may be a Hennasy, but I know for sure the cover said, "Worlds Fastest PRODUCTION Car".
....More to come....

That was prior to Lingenfelter's TT 426 C5 that raced a Blue Angel. It was also a sub 3 sec 0-60:eek2:

The '03 with an driver who is good should run high-11s/121-122mph stock. I'm using this as an estimate based on the fact the '03 will have 50hp more than the '02 GTS and it will weigh ~200lbs less. Shoot, the things might run mid-11s even in the heat with a really good driver.

I've seen a number of stock '98+ GTS's run 12.0-12.1 @ 117-118 at Ennis.

If they're running high-12s, then the driver just needs some more seat time is all.

[J.D. Blackwell]

I believe the GTS's will run about a 12.2 depending on the driver and track conditions. Of course I have never driven a GTS on the track, but I have driven it on the street. It wheelhops really bad through 1st.:D

I calculate the '03 SRT-10 will run a mid 11. They have 50 more horses and 30 more ft. lbs. They are also lighter as stated above. The tires are different, the suspensin is different, it is a new breed. But for $82,000+ I would hope they run 10's, but I doubt it.


FYI, There has been a bone stock GTS record a 11.8* in the 1/4.:bows

Yep. Try 0-60mph in 1.9 seconds. :d

8.5x @ 154+mph in the 1/4.

[L8 APEX]

Any car w/ 500 HP should run 11's IMO.. Unless it is a Cobra then it still needs a prayer:throw: :d I knew Ligenfelter was very low but I did not want to mis-state it..

[Lil Nicky88]

fyi the hennessy TT runs a 9.9, and the lingenfelter vette is still faster.

[Silver_2000]

FYI

hennessy and lingenfelter cars are not stock....
