    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    Not everyone goes on these boards or posts their best runs so there probably is many more passes that no one ever sees or heres about in a Viper and Vette that are good runs but here are some of the ones posted on the Vette board. They are from all over the country from Md to Tex and Co. I sure...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    I don't think I do? But maybe the factory built me a fast one because it is one fast SOB!

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    Whats up Joe? Actually the day I ran the 10.98 I knew it was going to be a good day because I missed 2nd the first run and pulled it back in 2nd fast and continued the run and ran an 11.34 and I thought to myself then, man I missed a gear and still ran an 11.30, today I am going 10's! Here are...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    GR8 I am the only one to ever go 10's on the runflats in a Z06 and yes it was only 1 run, but many bonestock Z06's have gone 10's many times with just drag radials and nothing more and my car has run many 11.0's on the runflats as well. My car has made at least 20 10 second runs at the track...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    I never claimed they are consistent 10 second cars, but one thing I didn't mention was with drag radials my car has run consistent 10's in good air with a 10.83 being my best time. My car usually runs 11 teens to 11.30's in average air and in hot weather 11.30's to 11.40's on average in mid...

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    I would love one but I am patient and I know the prices will be like all other high ticket items in the next 3 or 4 months and I believe that prices will be DOWN! So when they start discounting them like Vipers or even half the discount of a Viper I will start getting serious.

    Viper vs. Z06 1/4 mile time question

    If the mph is off maybe the mph cones spacing is incorrect giving incorrect numbers at 1/4 mile markers?

    Supercharged Viper & 2009 Z06 Track Results

    2008 ACR at the Drag Strip....

    Man those runs aren't too bad! People that don't own these cars don't understand how tough it is to launch the cars, the last time I was out with mine I couldn't get it down the track as it was cold out and if I left easy it would bog and then when the power came on it would lose traction and...

    Pics of '08 Viper Blue ACR with "snakesskin" white stripes!

    I think your car looks awesome, one of the best I have seen! The black wheels make the package complete as I think you would agree after looking at the one with silver wheels.

    2008 does a ground pounding 12.03 @122

    Well I agree it doesn't take a pro as I hope to go 10's and I am not a pro, but you can't compare a GTS to a SRT, totally different powerbands. And I assume you ran your times on regular radials not drag radials? My GTS with 560 rwhp would run consistent 10.8's, 10.9's at 132 on regualr 19...

    2008 does a ground pounding 12.03 @122

    Same to you!:) Went out for a track rental hoping to go 10's in the Viper but the track conditions were not that good. I can usually run 1.7 60's on runflats on good days with the Z and the best I could do yesterday was high 1.8's and the Viper wouldn't even think about hooking at any speed in...

    2008 does a ground pounding 12.03 @122

    Vipers are really hard to drive without really good traction, and that is a hard thing to get with all that torque. I had my Z06 and my ACR out this weekend on a real cold track and the Z06 was running much better times than my ACR as the Z was having trouble hooking but was able to get decent...

    My 08 Orange Coupe version 2 underway!

    It looked decent with the aluminum wheels but looked a little soft IMO, but with the black wheels and gas cap the car says (I'm here to kick ass!)

    Chrysler officially says ACRs "sold out"

    Well hell if they could sell 10 more Vipers a month the whole company could break even. I don't understand why they would even be trying to sell the company or even the Viper line as a 1.2 to 1.5 million dollar a year loss is peanuts, imagine what the profit will be when they cut 25% of the...
