If you think a stock viper can even come close to running with one of these turbo cars, then there is no convincing you. You've obviously never done drag racing if you're making these statements.
Honestly... Yes... I think if you lined up at a light (not condoning this, just saying "If")(in street trim,on the 20 wheel with Invos) next to a stock, 2008 Viper, and the 08' had an experienced driver. I think it just might be a closer race than you think. As a self-promclaimed "experienced racer". There should be no reason for me to explain why this is possible. Once traction is lost on your car in a street race, even for a split second. You might as well stop, and put the car in reverse. And in a pure street race (not perfect blacktop conditions,ZERO PREP and on street tires,etc). Your car is going to lose traction (obviously) much sooner than the stocker, and have a more violent traction loss, which will be impossible to recover. In a zero prep, street race setting, Id be surprised if you can even get into the pedal 40% pedal before you lose traction, in 1-3rd. right or wrong?
Listen, you have an insanely powerful car.... Im not disputing that. all Im saying is what % of that, is useable. Unless your in ideal settings, on slicks.. thats all.
Yes, I have been down the track once or twice.. I had a Gen2 Roe car, that probably had Half (maybe less than half) the power of ANY of the cars on the pass time show. But yet, would have held its own all day. Because of the smooth torque application the Roe has. Even some Paxton cars I see are just way too much for the street. Sorry, just my opinion.
I will agree, on slicks and in perfect track conditions. Assuming the car is dialed properly,etc,etc.. There is nothing more (or even close) potent than a TT car..
