Next From Motor Trend... Greatest Drag Race

[ViperSmith]

I'd love to see what these cars would do in the half mile. One thing is for sure, the SLS motor is under rated when you look at the mph at the end of the 1/4 mile. That is a very strong motor.

The Vipers speed was pretty good through the traps, putting down decent hp.

Cheers,
George

The SLS is a beast, pure and simple. I'd love to have the change for one.

Wait about 2 years and you can buy it for $49k..

I think it would be all over for the GTR if it was a mile race. Then I think it would be SLS, Viper, GTR
JMO

On a mile run wouldn't the extra Aero on the SLS slow it down compared to the Viper? The Viper's extra HP should also begin to shine as well past the 1/2 mile mark.

I still cannot believe that the Ford Focus came in last in acceleration..... go figure ???

Oh well, this is what a Chrysler budget can build. I feel bad for Ralph. Can you imagine having to look people in the eyes when you try to sell this to them, ouch. A ******** station wagon (400lbs. for ******** sake) was within striking distance of the best Chrysler could do.

Maybe then it could run an 11.2.

Why does the Viper need 700 HP when the 545 HP GTR came in first? It doesn't. It already can't launch what it has. I would rather see it lose more weight, improve the suspension and electronics.

I sure hope they do some drastic improvements to the 2014 Gen 5s,or the Viper is done. Regular people watch these tests/read mags. and that is why all these 13 Vipers are sitting on the lots not sold.Plus to much money for a Dodge...

Is second place too much to ask?

The car can launch... SRT says so right here. We the Viper Nation need to come up with better excuses......

 

[kratedisease]

Did Motor Trend use a fatso dude to drive the Viper ? that could be a good or bad thing.... better traction off the line or slowing the car down after lunch, oops I meant Launch.....

Damn, its so hard to diet and lose weight when everyone here keeps talking about food.....

 

[v10enomous]

Let's face it awd and automatic tranny is a big advantage these days no thanks

 

[FikseGTS]

winning is winning, doesn't matter who is driving the Viper, you'll going to lose in the 1/4 mile to the GT-R, I ran 10.8 in my bone stock 2013 GT-R.... on an unprepped surface/street like this race was on you have ZERO chance....

 

[kratedisease]

I bet those scoundrels at Motor Trend left the Viper's parking brake on during the run.... on purpose..... you can never trust a magazine that does not agree that the Viper is the most perfect car.

 

[FLL-B/W-GTS]

If you want to go 10 s in a stock car,you better be driving a GTR,911 Turbo S, McLean or Lambo... Period..

 

[FLL-B/W-GTS]

McLaren MP412C..

Hey guys, I'm back !!.. just woke up from my nap. Mom made my bed and cleaned up my room, I put my video game controllers away , turned on my computer made a sandwich and I am here to help the Viper community. I tell you... its real damp here in the basement next to the boiler and water heater.... I need to get a dehumidifier....

Anyway, did anyone see the funny video that Car and Driver posted about the Viper ????
