Vipers are not so hot...

[99_venum]

Had a short run with a new Viper. We pulled away from the light and I got on it a little in first. He didn't bite so I slowly shifted into second, As soon as my front end dropped as I shifted he nailed it trying to do a ricer flyby. He got his rear bumper even with my front bumper and I just buried the loud pedal in second. I shot right up along side him and waved and then let off. We were in a poor place to run but I definitely stopped his pull and gained back the car length in just second gear.

For the record, Him new Viper and don't know what he has done.
Me just a 2011 GT Vert with Exhaust, bigger Inzo tires, MGW shifter. And BTW a Roush charger sporting the 675 HP setup :coolman:

Vipers are bad ass.

You don't buy that car because it's the fastest thing on the street. You buy it because it's a Viper.

With a lot of luck, and a small miracle, I'm hoping to get an older Viper for my next car.

Nice GT though. :beer:

I think there around 3450 and 680? correct me if im wrong

 

[zacmustang03]

Sorry thats 680 crank hp

 

[ScreamingFast]

Hmmmmm high production base Muscle car or low number super/muscle car? I'll take the latter.........

 

[KLeech]

Awesome little run in though, it's always fun to be able to take out cars higher on the food chain than your own car. Sure most people would pick a viper over a mustang, but lets face it if any of us had the chance to take a viper down we would all be just as excited.

Thanks guys for the kudos. I just wish it had been on a country road where I would have felt comfortable running out the top end. I have an idea he may have pulled me on the top end, I think they are about 300 lb lighter. I have never wound my Stang in fourth gear. Only had the super charger on there a few weeks and it feels real good in second and third. Vipers are sweet and this Viper was arrest me Red very nice color on a Viper.

No doubt the aero/weight in the triple digits would've favor the viper. Put about 1.5 to 2 cars on my buddies 3rd gen Viper from a 40-140 roll(he has zero traction down low) He's Tune/Filter only. So, I could totally see this, these new Vipers are pretty damn bad ass!

Gen 5 is closer to 600whp.
for comparison

nice kill! but please don't refer to your car as having the 675hp setup. smh. Chances are youre probably running a roush turd tune if youre referring to your hp like that. Probably more like 575rwhp at most.

 

[brentsSVT]

The 8# Roush tune only made 507 whp on my buddies 2012 gt. A call and tune from Justin at vmp had it at 557.
