Nice runs!:2tu:

Definitely some smooth clutch engagement off the line. Any idea what RPM(approx.) you were leaving at?

560whp stock, 553whp without the mufflers. I contemplated adding them on for these passes, but decided against it. About to head to a dyno day today, I will see what she runs there.

Wow 560 rwhp is sick! That's over 650 hp to the crank:omg: Definitely not your average gen 4!! Congrats :headbang:

Good work. :drive:

A big thank you to 1BadGTS for motivating Viper owners to prove him wrong.


More GEN IV and GEN III 10 second runs to follow.

Air temps, tire pressures, etc ?
and shift points. Seems awful quick shift for stock gears.
I'm not doubting in any way, just wonderin' what RPM you shift at. Great passes.:2tu:

Great driving! Congrats on your time. I wish you had done it on ps-2s but a great accomplishment nevertheless.

Congrats bud! I think the blue w/ white stripes is the reason it runs so well.

I spoke with Evan Smith yesterday at SEMA here in Vegas. He seemed to move around quite well, despite having a grown man hanging on his *******. LOL

I mentioned 1BADGTS to Evan, he didn't know who I was talking about. Sad when your biggest fan is unknown :)

I started at 3,000 rpm but sometimes would climb to 4500-5000 rpm. I really thought the clutch would give up, but these stock clutches are fantastic. Drove about 100 miles today and smooth consistent engagement. After Dallas Performance drained and put new fluid in the clutch reservoir, I haven't had any issues with the clutch engagement point changing (like some other gen iv owners have complained about).

nice driving Jason!
Thanks Tiago!!

I did a hard break-in (just like every other new car I've ever owned) and they always dyno strong, and don't have any issues with burning oil. There are a few other stock Vipers running around, making some good dyno numbers!

Track Elevation: 500 ft
Air Temperature: 41.0 F
Barometric Pressure: 30.33 in Hg
Relative Humidty:81%
Gives a -966 DA

Tire pressure was about 22.5 psi I believe. I shifted at redline each time. I was looking to put 3.55's in, but Mark Jorgensen was saying that it's almost impossible to pull an 08 differential apart after some miles (and mine has over 30,000) so that idea was quickly nixed. 3.55's would be nice though!

Great driving! Congrats on your time. I wish you had done it on ps-2s but a great accomplishment nevertheless.
Yeah, I like the PS2's, but for $400 cheaper, it's hard to not go with the Invo's, especially since my PS2's only lasted 11,000 miles.

Thanks Tony! Blue w/white stripes is definitely one of the fastest colors :D

Also, I just got back from a dyno day at a friend's new shop. Drove 30 miles to the shop, and got on the dyno after a 15 min. cool down (pretty much no cool down :) )

That's good to hear. I'd love to get mine to the track before winte sets in. Hopefully the weather will work with me....

I heard the same thing fron Devon @ Unitrax, so I ended up purchasing an eintre new diff with 3.55's already installed. Just the stock unit - nothing special other than the gears. I don't do much racing at all, so Devon said I should be just fine with the stock parts.

Though if it does grenade, I have a bubble-wrapped stock rear in the attic.;)

Well apparently losing 7whp hasn't really hurt me, ;)

The reason I did that was the car was too quiet with the mufflers on, and from what I understood, the Corsas were just mildly louder than the stock 08 exhaust. I wasn't going to spend $1500 for just a little increase in noise. It looked menacing, but didn't sound the part. So I sacrificed some power to make the car sound meaner.

Incredible driving, congrats!!! :2tu:

Getting into the 10's with what can be a daily driver is beyond supercar territory when you factor in the cost and the reliability these SRT's have.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
George
