Re: Who\'s the BADDEST builder !!!
well if this doesnt sound like a sales pitch, i dont know what does. (from other thread).
<< Without question everyone in the Viper community is missing out by overlooking the baddest Viper builders in the world that have THE MOST credentials and THE LEAST press and marketing which would help them so much - SVS in West Chicago, Illinois!!!
www.svspower.com
[******] and many others builders get all the glory with thier strong marketing and press machines but seriously dont come close to SVS's accomplishments and vehicles. This gets me sick and hopefully we can all spread the word if you look into them and agree as I do.
I have had a Viper GTS ACR Since 1999 and been lucky enough to live close to thier shop here in the western suburbs of Chicago to witness many of thier accomplishements.
The most recent example of this was thier entry and record breaking standing mile results in the Hot Rod Magazine Maxon Mile contest where they became the fastest production body vehicle EVER running an average of 218 mph over I believe an average taken from two runs! (Throw that at those Z06 forums)

With the same car they also ran an 8.54 175mph quarter in the fall of 2005 before the weather got really bad here and they did not have this thing dialed in by any means with very weak starts on the few runs(3) they got in. I think they will break the Viper quarter record in 2006 easily once they tweak a few things and get a couple more runs. I also know these runs were not done on full boost by any means.
This same Car also broke the top Speed record in it's class at the Bonneville salt falts a while back running an average of 254mph.
What builder has achieved this with the same engine and car over such diverse tests of performance ??? They have changed transmissions and a few other odds and ends for best perfomance in each of these diverse contests but the bulk of the car has remained the same for years also proving it's reliability.
Ron Jr and I have had many talks on this issue of reliable horsepower over the years and yes it will cost you more to make reliable horsepower but they really know what they are doing and only believe in reliable HP.
To top things off, this year they have upgraded a few things in thier package and are now making 1725 rwhp vs the 1300 rwhp that they broke the 247mph record in Boneville with. They know if nothing breaks and they can run full boost 300mph is in this street drivable vehicle - WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

Obviously this represents thier absolute top of the line package but believe it or not there is a young kid here in Lemont, Illinois that I know first hand is having SVS buildone of these beasts strictly for the street so these are not just race cars as many will try and persuade you so they dont look bad!!! (Everyone in Illinois better watch out for this MONSTER)
On top of these acomplishments Ron Jr ran another one of thier cars in road racing for a couple years some years back and basically kicked everthings a_ _!
These guys are the REAL DEAL across all ranges of performance not just quarter mile and you should check thier website out for all kinds of great videos, pics, parts and information.
If your ever thinking of any kind of package from small to extreme I would at least talk to these guys or your doing yourself an injustice.
I recently took delivery of a 2006 First Edition SRT-10 Coupe and as much as I would love one of thier crazy packages it's too much for me at this point so I am having them put an intercooled supercharger package on my car along with the Race Logic traction control, comp coupe oil pan, headers, exhaust, Quaife and a few other goodies that will make my summer a blast. >>
hmmm, lets look at the facts:
1. you havent even had work done by SVS yet, yet you want us to believe they are somehow builder "gods"?
2. you also live in Chicago.
3. your experiences with other builders is never mentioned, so we can assume there is none.
4. if someone questions your opinion, you are asked that we email you in private and keep it off of these forums. (other thread).
5. you dont dare mention any of the accomplishments or give credit to any of the other people or builders out there.
6. when asked about viper exhaust, your response is: "Go with SVS they are the best Viper tuners anywhere and they are well worth their price if you want it installed well."
7. when asked about transmissions, your response is: "I'd call Ron Jr. at SVS in West Chicago to talk about beefing this all up and then you will be much happier being able to beat on that beast the way it should have been designed from the factory."
8. and if your opinion is questioned at all, you resort to name calling, insults, and we are told to "shut the f-up", which i am sure i also will be told to do after you read this.
9. looking back, almost EVERY ONE of your (10) posts mentions SVS.
10. Not to mention this thread and line: "Since this is a great thread and does not only apply to the Gen 1/2 crowd where it started check this out .."
dont get me wrong, no doubt SVS are one of the best builders out there. but i have to agreee with joe and plum on this one - This is the thread where you get paid by SVS to comment on how cool they are, right?
EVEN YOU, HAS TO ADMIT, THIS LOOKS A BIT "ODD".
send me one of your, i mean "their" new sales brochures, and i may reconsider questioning SVS's "godly" status.
