    I could not control myself: Raced a Lamborghini Murcielago!!!

    Whoaa GTS, In Reply to your question, "is 170 the safe speed or the max speed? According to the book, Viper, Pure Performance by Dodge. They state " the early Gen I Vipers would reach 163 mph in fifth gear at 4900 rpm using 3:07 gears." According to Car and Driver, July 1995. They indicate...

    I could not control myself: Raced a Lamborghini Murcielago!!!

    Chuck, Thanks for your reply. You don't have to worry about me trying to FLY from 140 to 200mph. The early Viper Snakes were never known for their Top Speed due to major aerodynamics concerns. I believe the top safe speed back 12 years ago was only 170-175mph, before the Snake started lifting...

    I could not control myself: Raced a Lamborghini Murcielago!!!

    orlandov10, F355 is a stock Viper, "keep up" meant .."he had me by 1 car length". The 93 Paxton Supercharged Viper had the 2005/2006 Lamborghini by 5 to 6 car lengths from 45mph to 140mph. Built 2 Go

    I could not control myself: Raced a Lamborghini Murcielago!!!

    Chuck & Viper X, You both may be correct, but my I'm not convienced that it was my driving. The V-12 Lamborghini Murcielago is rated by Road & Driver at 580 BeforeWHP and $290,805 list price. The Paxton is pushing out 551 RWHP. My guess...the Viper and not me. The Lamborghini may be a...

    First off...I should not of gotten into this race situation but I just could not back off this temptation. I just could not help or control myself this time around. My stupidity. Yesterday, on Pacific Coast Highway in S.Calif, I was going around 45-50 mph and noticed a new Yellow Lamborghini...

    Supercharging Gen1: DC Performance or Roe?

    Bill, Wow....very impressive numbers for a Gen I. I am assuming that there has been a little work done on the engine besides Supercharging to reach the 689 rwhp? Very nice numbers (803rwhp) after the Heads were done. Again...very impressive. Can you post your Dyno sheet? Built 2 Go

    30 Paxton Kits done, all good results.

    Dan, Best thing since sliced bread!!! As you are aware, I'm not one of your 30 SRT installs. However, I'm your first Generation 1 project (93 R/T) and I'm in agreement with Paul...no failures, no issues, trouble free and I am one very-very happy camper. I no longer fear a new Corvette Z06...

    Need Help Please!

    Step by step directions are in the Viper manual. You need to follow the steps "exactly" or the car will not start. There are two modules that need to be disconnected. You could also go to a trusted Viper tuner or mechanic and they should be able to do it, if you elect not to tackle the project...

    New to the board (1st posting) Are there any Supercharged Viper owners who would like to share a few words on your behind the wheel feelings/level of excitement, when driving your Supercharged Snake.
