HELLO i just went on the horsepower indicator chart a 3500 lb car trapping at 146 mph with a suspension optimized for drag racing (which the VIPER is not )is making 850 HORSEPOWER.Show me how this can be done on all motor .
Right...so if the HP calculator says it well then it must be true.
Besides being an eyewitness to the pass...
9.48@145 I was also present for many other 9.7XX passes with the same car. The point of the car has always been to run fast with no power adders ever since it was a Venom build in 99.
come on man, think for a second... how could another friend of mines TT car run
8.75@141? Give up?
Go hard off the line up to the 1000 foot mark then jam the brakes so the MPH drops considerably. The motor only RT has lower MPH because it doesn't have a power adder to help on the top end so it "dies off" so to speak at the end. Also driveline upgrades to increase power to the ground or reduced weight throw the "hp calculator" way off, its only a tool to get a general idea of what a car MIGHT do in perfect conditions.
The attitude of "If my friends or I cant do it, it must me impossible" is ridiculous to say the least.
