What can I say? That was a great couple of runs (at a closed test track in Mexico). I like the first one better though and very pleased to hang with John that close. Ask the members of the chase team how much space we put between them.

These runs were ~1 minute apart and my bottle pressure was probably a little low for the second run after 12 second of spraying on the first one. I guess that's the advantage of forced induction.
Race note - I let off when my speed-o hit 160. John was going faster.

John, one more run after my next upgrade and then I'll go back to drag racing.

Dan,
I let off as soon as I hit 160. Driving that fast at night is not my favorite thing to do. We went from a 3rd gear punch at ~3000 rpm. I tried to start in 2nd gear but red line came up too fast and I got mucho tire spin.

Peter is one brave man and he is used to those speeds. Texas Supra guys are crazy!

Will there be another MT spread on the Venom 800????This car is one of my alltime favorite tuner cars ......I would like to see/hear more about DLM Vipers in one of the major rags as well.....Or a Viper tuner shootout....Or just a plain tuner shootout like C&D had last year. Vipers,Vettes,RX7,Porsche,Supra,Ferrari..And take them to the RING.....droool....I would be the first to sign up to be a test driver....

I was really hoping it was you DgeViper1......Any chance you know who it could be....That car is responsible for my uncontrollable lust for the Viper

My friends car at that time was a mid 11sec car at about 116-117mph with slicks and we got left by about 6-7 car lenghts......Oh yeah, one other thing...My friend didnt think he needed to spend any more money on the Supdawg since he thought that no one locally could take him....That Viper is also responsible for making my friend get two jobs to pay for the single turbo upgrade..Haha....Maybe we will run into each other on the Island this summer...We go to Dear Park to "watch" the street race's sometimes.....later

SnakeBitten, do you own a Viper? I'm from NY aswell.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Why yes I do.....I own several Vipers...About 10 AutoArt models.......My favourite is the red number 91 Oreca.....

Seriously though Im not fortunate enough to own one yet.....I could squeeze and get a used one but you know what the insurance is like in NY and I dont have a garage.......

I live vicariously through you guys.....BTW that is a sweet Viper you got DgeViper1......later

Hey DgeViper1 is Manhasset in Long Island??? About 2 years ago my buddy and I were cruising on the Southern State Pky in his bpu+ Supra and we ran across a black & silver Viper that looks just like yours...We ran 4 times from a roll and got beat every time.....We didnt get to talk long [I think the guy said he was from Manhasset] because he got off a different exit.....Could that be you?.....He has been looking for a rematch since he put some NOS on the dawg....But we never saw that Viper again...He currantly going single turbo now....Should be done by spring.....later

Well that looks remarkably like the car we saw that night. Unfortunately we didnt get to see much of the front

...It was dark and I didnt notice if it was an rt/10 with hard top or a GTS...I just assumed it was a GTS since they are usually faster.......Im sure if it were you DgeViper1 you would have remembered the beating you gave us, 4 times
biggrin.gif
You did say it was a 10 sec car so that would explain why his 11 sec Supra got laid to rest...Any chance one of your friends borrowed your car that night??????

No, that was me, Im sure. I get challenged all the time. Ive gone against a few on the Southern State and havent lost yet. That road seems to have alot of guys and cars that want to race.

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I gotta tell my friend I found the car that ***** him

What did you have in the rt/10..Was it an all motor package a la Hennessey??? And it was a 10sec car so Im assuming that your new DLM GTS has to be a 9 sec car....Maybe without slicks???

That is just sick....A DLM Viper in New York...Im always reading about those Texas Vipers and getting jealous. We have alot of sweet Supra's here in Brooklyn. Not many Vipers though. What lvl DLM you have?? lvl 3? Do you race at Englishtown???....Later
