What Does A Stock Viper Do In Quarter Mile??

[Dimitrios]

was just wondering. my cars best time with mods was 12.2 at 115mph and in about 80 degreee weather. trying to get an idea what a difference headers, cats and catback does. thanks DK

 

[Snakester]

With those mods I'd say that you should be putting down somewhere near 440RWHP/475RWTQ.

I'd say that your time is good for your mods, but your trap speed looks low. Track conditions and driving skills vary so much that you are likely to see a range of 11.8@120MPH for a super driver with great traction, to 12.8@114MPH for someone who needs to practice shifting more, or has poor track conditions.

Most likely you could shave off a couple tenths from your 1/4 mile time with practice, but with your mods you should be doing closer to 118-120MPH trap speed now.

Dimitrios, you should be getting high 11s with a trap speed over 120mph. I've seen bone stock cars do 12.1-12.3 at 115-118mph. I myself got a 12.8 at 114mph (best of 2 runs). I think I'll take to the track too next time. You can beat me and feel good about it.

What were your reaction and 60ft times?

 

[Gerald Levin]

I believe someone here within the last few days said he can take any stock Gen 2 and do a 11.8 all day long.

 

[BigCarrot]

I ran 11.5's with nothing but cats and mufflers removed. I think I netted 8 hp and zero torque from that.

BigCarrot --I'd love to know how you ran an 11.5.. or we're you not on pilots? what was your sixty foot..

Dimitrios - high 11's is about right with a good launch and quick shifts..

I was on BFG's, but my 60' times were in the 1.79-1.82 range. It was at the V10 Nationals. The MPH was 124-125. My car is pretty strong, and I know how to shift!

 

[J DAWG]

12.4 at 116 completely srock.. Both track and driver sucked that day.

11.85/120 with my Gen1 (Belanger headers and no cats)

Mike great info. Dimitrios after seeing these times a good launch is going to put you where you want to be. My question to everyone is: What RPM would do you recommend tacking before the launch if Dimitrios has BFG Drag Radials?

 

[JimT 99RT]

For those of us who are Drag Strip Challenged and can barley keep the car pointed in a straight line and can sometimes manage to shift out of first after launching the car, we have to resort to adding a Roe S/C to come close to these numbers...

 

[EA6BPilot]

My best run was a 12.7@119 with just K&Ns and smooth tubes (car dynoed at 413/450). I talked to several drivers that day, and they stated their times were consistantly .4 sec slower compared to another local track. So, the bottom line is that the track has a lot to do with it as well. The fact that I **** at drag racing is only part of the equation!

 

[ChoiceViper]

Completely true EA6BPilot. (not that you ****, but the track condition part)
At last Summer's Socal VCA California Speedway drags, I saw many vipers run in the 13's. Terrible track, no track prep, and 100 degrees ambient.

 

[CMilViper]

My best was an 11.9 @ 119.3 with catback, cats, k&n's, and tubes on pilots...

Also had several very low 12's @ 118.

 

[Andy 98 RT/10]

Also, Motor trend 9/97

Viper RT/10 12.3@ 118 mph

BigCarrot,

Something sounds wrong about your numbers. 11.5@125MPH works out to about 525RWHP.
The drag radials and power-shifting could explain the good 60' times and possibly the 11.5 1/4 mile time, but not the 124-125MPH trap speed.

 

[Joseph Houss]

None other than Evan Smith (professional test driver AND dear friend of our NJ VCA) has two of the three top 3 ET's! Evan ran the 11.77 in a stock 2000 RT/10, and the 11.98 in my Black/Silver 2000 GTS (and it was HOT and VERY HUMID!)

He is an amazing driver!

I would say the best you could do is a high 11.

 

[Viper99]

Hey D,
Do you mean Vipers with or without a gas pedal?

Yep, beats the [******] out of me! I have the time slips though! Lots of people were there! It was at the V10 nationals! The 60' times sucked in my opinion! I think GTS Dean has done similar MPH in his almost stock car.

 

[Jcoopacr2000]

12.2 my best. Bradington ,Bowling Green,Rockingham,Commerence, all close to the same,and im no stranger to a drag strip.I have 3" corsa and high flow cats. Would love to get in the 11s

 

[Dimitrios]

ran [email protected] 1.827 on bf radials. very hot and humid today. what possibly can a roller rocker and VEC1 get me? 11.5????

 

[BigCarrot]

One roller rocker won't help you much.
