The Ultimate NA Gen II Viper is Going Up for Sale

[Jack B]

I have been having a hard time making a decision to sell my Gen II. I just do not have enough time to dedicate to the Gen II since I bought the Gen V and the Gen II deserves better.

I will post the car in the classified next week on the three viper sites. The car runs excellent and early in 2013 it ran a 10.9 at 128 mph with a DA of 2500. This car is capable of a 10.5-10.6 sec ET on a cool day and at sea level. It has also done back-to-back 129 runs on a day with a 3000 DA. The Jeff Moray heads/cam is actually as streetable as a stock car.

The car comes with the SCT X2 tuner. It also has a full Innovate a/f set-up and logging system (DL32). In addition, it has the X2 A/f gauge in the oem voltmeter opening.

Currently the exhaust is catless and is 3" Balenger all the way, it is one of the best sounding NA vipers you will hear, it is loud. The good part is, the car comes with the oem exhaust/cats, therefore, if you do not like loud, you can change it back.

What lifters did you use, and how did they perform?

 

[ViperJohn]

Sad to see you letting her go. You invested so much time and energy getting it just right. Best of luck with sale.

 

[NI-KA]

Very nice car !

Whoever picks this car up won't regret it.

 

[Jack B]

The stock Gen II lifters. The 1/4 mile mph speaks for itself as far as how they perform.

What lifters did you use, and how did they perform?

 

[Jack B]

I was at the point that there was not much left to do. Personally, half the fun is watching the car's personality change as you add the mods. I am at the bottom of the pyramid with my GenV, however, I did spent the whole winter working on it. That car is ready to go, but, I am still snowed in.

Sad to see you letting her go. You invested so much time and energy getting it just right. Best of luck with sale.

So what's it worth in the real market One thing for sure I don't think you will get back your investment You will have some people out there that will step away from a car that has been driven hard.

Saying that, I just wish I had more space and money

Good luck with your sale

 

[Fatboy 18]

Test the market, I know it sounds daft but you might be better off putting the car back to stock and selling on the performance parts!

Maybe I missed it but how much power does the car make?

 

[Jack B]

In Ohio the Density Altitude (DA) is usually in the 2500-3500 area. I took it to the dragstrip last year right before I received my G5, It has consistently trapped 127-129 in 2011 and 2012. If the car was on the coast in cool weather it would be trapping 132-134. The last ET it pulled was a 10.91 and the 60' was not that great. The car has a 10.5 in it with a low DA.

You probably can work those numbers backwards and it will probably show 575-600 rwhp, which is approx 675 flywheel hp. It took me a while, but, thr SCT tune is probably as good as it can get. What is nice, the engine runs smoother than when it was stock. The car pulls off the line all the way to 6000. It goes through the traps at about 5700 and it is still pulling hard, fourth gear is a killer. If I could find a way to drop a couple degrees timing over 5000 (just in 4th gear) I could probably pickup another 1/10.

Maybe I missed it but how much power does the car make?
