SVS Viper TNT Viper?

[King GTS]

I'M SURE THEY'RE OUT THERE, TNT ANYWAY - NOT SURE ABOUT SVS, BUT THE ONLY ONE I CAN RECALL IS THE ONE THAT VIPER MAGAZINE DID YEARS AGO W/ JOHN AND ROY ON OPPOSITE PAGES, FEATURING BOTH THEIR VIPERS. I CAN'T RECALL ANYTHING ELSE ON TNT.

Car and Driver tested a TNT King Snake a year (+/-) or so ago. It was in the magazine and on Car and Driver TV. They said it was the fasted Viper they had ever tested.... or something like that.

SVS had an RT in a Car and Driver shootout about three years ago, it did pretty well, but was to much a race car for the testers liking. Some interesting things happened in the test number crunching that moved it from first to middle pack. Something to do with times adjusted for "environmental considerations". If you have a half hour sometime, ask Ron Sr. about it.... be prepared for full emotion

Car & Driver Aug 1998 did the 0-150-0 test of several tuner cars and stock cars. The Vipers in that test were Venom 600 and a Gen 1 RT/10 by SVSi. Using an RT/10 with a big rear wing was not the best config. for running to 150 and a more areo GTS with no wing would have an edge on body factors alone.

There was also a tv show made on the testing of the cars in the 0-150-0 competition. Sir Hiss Had it on one of his tapes if you want it.

Car & Driver also did a Magazine article and 30 min TV show on the TNT KING SNAKE before it got crashed in the 1 lap of America 2 years ago. Impressive car with well over 200+ top end. Also likely on tape from Sir Hiss.

Borders carries it, but it's almost impossible to find because they get taken so quickly. Just get a subscription: It costs less and you don't have to worry about not getting an issue.
