Look how far the RPM's drop from 2nd to 3rd and from 4th to 5th. No wonder Z06's had such an advantage over the Vipers stock to stock. Dropping down to 4,500 rpm's after a shift is horrible gear spacing.

I believe you mean "ZR1s" as the C6 Z06 has tall 5th and 6th gears as well. The ZR1 has a close ratio tranny.

This issue is easily addressed with a <$2k 5th and 6th gear swap (or purchase of a 2010 Gen IV Viper that has the closer 5th gear).

Practically speaking, you will rarely see the problem with the tall 5th and 6th gears since you can hit 150-160 mph in 4th and you will not exceed about 165 mph on most road courses for a HPDE. If, on the other hand, the Standing Mile/closed circuit events are a regular occurrence, then just swap the gears! If you are consistently going faster than 155 mph, then you should also have additional safety equipment, etc.

im pretty sure the vettes (Z06's ?) were a lot lower than ritchie or the OP's speed IIRC

 

[RichieSRT10]

On that day the ZO6's were running 165-167. One ZR1 ran 178 mph for his best run. The rest of his runs were 175mph or less. The driver is a friend who is an awesome driver and also weighs 120lbs soaking wet

I am hoping they will do it again soon. I have at least 5 people that ask me every time I see them, when the next time is going to be ?

My 2008 Viper and 2009 ZR1 both have run 179. I want to run them both on the same day next time.

 

[jmillsUT28]

This is one of my goals this year. To make it to one of these mile run events. Would love to see what mine will do.

Ray is your 2008 Viper stock?

 

[JohnnyViper]

thats a great run and it looks like it was a fun day

 

[97snk]

Great run, tell me more about your shift light...Is that stock or did you buy a kit?

 

[Ray W]

Ray is your 2008 Viper stock?

No, Richie it is not. Mopar computer,3:55 gears,headers and exhaust. 10mph headwind for the Viper. Tailwind for the ZR1. Which is "bone stock".
