HP numbers for 9 second runs

[Dr Roof]

What is the minimum HP required to take the viper into the highly respected 9 second club???

In the 750RWHP range. That is with driving your best - on slicks, or ET Streets. 800 RWHP would be better.

I believe Steve Ueligger's car is around 750 - 770- RWHP so I have to agree.

No nines since then. I didn't even drive my car for a few months after that run. It was such a relief after working hard with TNT to make it go fast. My next trip to the track was a bust because of a bad solenoid (NOS not NX). And this weekend I hit 2nd instead of 4th on a run that was surely sub 10.0 based on the 60ft. and 1/8 mile times. Oh well, that's racing. I'll be back at it soon. I really need the track time.

Gentlemen,
725 rwhp measured at TNT. If you can't run 9.90 with that HP or more then I am a better driver than you. Just kidding, but those are my numbers.
