TT Lambo vs Doug Levin SRT - Anyone seen this video?

[RichieSRT10]

Alex, if Doug says it is legit you could bank on it.

 

[Doug Supercharged Vipers]

So, enough of the mystery already. I assume that the car was dynoed at different boost levels to test its function and reliability during R&D. What were the numbers at the various boost levels? Also, please provide some additional data:

1. What type of computer is being used? AEM?

2. Are the cats stock, high flow, or removed?

3. If stock, will the use of the higher boost levels result in melted cats?

4. What is the stock clutch, transmission and rear end good for HP/torque wise?

5. Was the engine built up at all to handle the higher boost levels?

6. Were the stock brakes altered at all?

7. Does a warranty come with the kit?

8. Does the installation of the kit void the Murci manufacturer's warranty on the drive train components? ( I assume that it does but I also assume that if someone can afford the car, they do not care.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi Bob,

I'm a little short on time but hope this helps ...

Computer is proprietary.

No cats.

Stock clutch, stock trans (for now) BTW... you cannot dump the stock clutch or it will go up in smoke. Once the stock clutch is clamped, you go!

Brakes are stock and work very well, although I would prefer the ceramic upgrade.

Dealer Warranty is about what you can expect from whom it is that you know.

I warranty all of our components, obviously with discretion.

Take care Bob!

Best regards,
Doug

Thanks Rich!

You remember you met the guy in the Yellow Viper at the car show.
His car is not nearly as fast as yours! (thank goodness )

Best regards,

Doug,

You didn't by chance ever own a silver 97 993TT, bought from Utah?

Thanks for the comment! One actually belongs to a gentleman in CA. The other Fort Lauderdale.

Thanks for the data Doug. You forgot to provide the numbers at the different boost levels. Should be very interesting. If you have them, could you also please post the dyno graphs. Thanks.

Best,

Bob

 

[Fast Viper]

Doug do you warranty the chassis? Nice job, I was watching the video's on lpower, on that run you were probably pushing around 1000 hp? Awesome job!

 

[HI-NOS-Viper]

Wow that is an awesome video with some awesome cars putting down some awesome speed, I would be happy with the power of any of them. That Lambo sure does pull hard, WOW. Very impressive Doug. Keep up the good work. Now lets see who comes out on top in the one mile shootout.

Bob -

Getting dyno numbers out of Doug is like getting future raffle cars out of me - good luck.

Seriously, as far as I know Doug VERY rarely releases dyno numbers other than very loose "guesstimates" beforehand. Why? Because too many Viper owners complain afterwards when their dyno numbers at home differ from what the tuner said. And certainly not about Doug, but tuners in general. Instead he gives you a range prior to the work being done. After that it is generally a VERY pleasant surprise when you get the car home and dyno it yourself...

Hi Chris. I think Doug should speak for himself. Sometimes something gets lost in transaltion when someone else, in good faith, tries to speak for another person.

 

[plumcrazy]

all i know is doug took me for a ride in his merci this sunday and i cant tell you how sweet that car sounds and drives. i wanted one before he took me for a ride, now im gonna burn my car and save for a few years to get one...lol

and i hope doug has a TT merci there in march/april when im back down there.....i need a ride in one of them BAD !!!

100% legitimate, the outcome is EXACTLY how it played out.

Thanks for your input.

+1 and love it Doug. Murci kicks Vipers asz, and it should for that kind of coin.

 

[viper585]

Great vid. But as someone once said..it's like bringing a knife to a gunfight. The Viper is 650 at the wheels, the Murci 800+....by all accounts. It should be as it was. Now a TT Viper.......different ending maybe. Or let's run the cars from a dig, a couple of times. The Viper will be the only car in the race after 2 or 3 runs.

I appreciate your comments, although the viper is making a lot more than 650 rwhp. We did dyno it long before and after the video. When we did dyno'd after the video, the Viper was bouncing on the dyno giving us an inaccurate reading, we thought there was something wrong with the car until we realized it was a simple dyno operator error - it was not strapped down tight enough.

IMHO, I believe even if the Viper was a TT it would have been the same outcome (of course on STREET TIRES). And I believe it would have been worse on a slow roll for the Viper - being that the Murci has awd that give it's advantage against the Viper.

Ps. Nothing against the Viper, I am a multi Viper owner/luver

Again, thanks for the comments!
Doug

Thank you Doug. Being a longtime Lambo and Viper owner...the RWHP difference had to be huge for that type of outcome. More than 200RWHP edge to the Lambo?

Somewhere in that vicinity, although I think you meant "AWHP?"

Kind regards,

lol. Yes, I did. Thank you Sir. You do great work. A credit to the performance car segment!!

 

[KenricGTS]

Doug, I have to admit awd rocks when putting down the power! My 997 has the Evolution EVT700 on it and only makes 650awhp but, dam it goes! No 6000rpm launchs on that Muci! That clutch would go bye bye. Nice work brother!

Hey Doug! Everything is good. That Florida weather is awesome i am sure. Trying to get my Viper tuned for a mile high. DC has the SCT tuner that should work. Too far from Florida, You need a shop here in NM.
