Beat a viper
On my way back from cutting a 1.8 60 foot at the track on street tires and well on my way to an 11 second pass, the time slip came back all screwed up saying I only ran a 14.1 at 53 mph, lol. I was kind of bummed out and was on my way home in the turning lane when I look over and see a bright yellow Dodge Viper. I could't turn the opportunity down, so I quickly switched lanes and was able to pull up beside the viper. He had the targa top off and I asked if he wanted to run and he just smiles. So I think ok I guess he doesn't want to go. All of a sudden at about 35 mph he downshifts and mashes it so ofcourse so do I and when my converter flashes I spin like crazy and he jumped out about half a car on me. Once I hooked and hit second, I pulled him like a rape ape and he shut it down. We both pulled over at a gas station and complimented each other. Turned out to be a "all stock" 94 viper. Pretty cool race that I won't forget any time soon. It's just cool knowing I beat a viper.

LOL cartman your telling me thats slow? It would beat the hell outta any 3rd gen and Lt1 Corvette and also it would be hella of a race with a Ls1 Corvette (stock vs Stock)
I think that has a higher MPH then then the new C6 Vette ( was a 112mph in MT)
I do belive you, cuz anythin can happen when you race. So good kill

The early Vipers were slow Low 13's compaired to when they finally got some really good power running in the 12's.

I ran a heck of a lot better at the track than a 12.9 and that was on my regular street tires too. This was from a roll also. He absolutely refused to race me from a dig. I think the Mustang GT owner there who I just got done raping might have scared him away from it.

He's an engineering student at VCU. I've seen him around campus a few times recently, but haven't gotten a chance to play yet That's one nice looking Viper though.

Hey Nic, when you see him and get the chance to talk, ask him about the guy he raced in the Navy blue metallic camaro Z28 that he talked to at the gas station afterwards. Ask him if Z20ATE U rings a bell It's definitaly nice and I wouldn't mind driving it, but it was the first time I have seen one really up close in person and it actually sort of looked cheaply made, but don't get me wrong, it's badass and has a sound of it's own.

I'll try to catch up with him. I usually see him when he's either driving by or I'm driving by. A friend of mine has a hennessey 550 and I agree, they're cheaply made.

I drove a 00 GTS that was traded in at the dealer I work for. Body panels straight with near perfect gaps. Interior materials and options were what you would expect for the car intended purpose. Drivetrain worked very well I was amazed by the power - for a factory car. I hear the newer generation Viper's are nicer...

guys i hate to tell you this but THE fastest production car is a viper that runs 12.8, it was on a car and driver television special on thanksgiving last year. until the vipers came out the shelby cobra was still the fastest production car, the vipers came out and they are the new fastest production car at 12.8 stock. any corvette that is running under that is moded. vette's have a 1/4 mile time of low 13's and the camaro's,trans ams are like .1 or .2 slower. even cars like the wrx sti and the lancer evo would beat or hang right with the vette. i like gm the best but i don't think vette's are that great. if your going for speed why spend 50,000 on a vette while you could spend 34,000 on a camaro or ta, but then again you can't buy them anymore so.. i guess i can't really ask that question.

oh.. well i've never saw that before. never once did i see any place say a vette was in 11's but thats just me. i don't understand how something with 20 more hp can be 2 seconds faster.. just because of weight or gears or what? like i said i'm not a huge vette fan but i'd like to know how it's that much faster then a ls1 camaro or trans am? i have a friend that has a worked ls1 camaro and it pulled a 12.8 at the track. and my sister has a camaro with the ls1 and it didn't impress me all that much.

Vipers are tempermental sob's...
ESPECIALLY the earlier models. Ask any Viper owner who actually DRIVES / RACES it...
I'm speaking about the first few years of the car...don't have any direct experience with the newer models.
And they are extremely hard to hook....very very tempermental off the line, street tires just make it worse.
I can't speak for C&D or any other year, but bone stock '96 ( hell it mighta been a '95 wasn't my car ) and I mean BONE STOCK w/ less than 10k miles...
I managed to break into the 12's twice in 10 or so runs...that was bogging the thing off the line and shifting alot earlier that I really wanted to.. ( owner in the car with me )
The mph was over 100, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't over 115mph or so...it's been a couple of years.
They are fun..
But the early models...well...getting out and frying ur leg on the sidepipe can make you wanna sell the car...
LOL

This 2003 Viper is 100% stock, with only drag radial tires. Absolutely nothing else touched. Driven well

the corvette chassis is a composite state of the art piece that is on par with super cars.
the camaro and firebird are both chassis that were almsost entirely designed over 20 years ago...even the 2002 unibody is basically the same, especially the back half as an 82
the corvettes make a little more power, are lighter, stiffer, have far, far, far better suspension, and are far more aerodynamic....have better gearing etc.
theres your answer
i've seen a factory stock 2002 SS run 12.9.....thats the exception not the rule, but it does happen

Also, Vettes have a better weight distribution because of the rear transaxle as opposed to a forward-mounted transmission with a rear differential. I'm sure the IRS helps them hook a little bit better as well. Not to mention the wider tires (I'm talking stock here) and a few other improvements. Isn't it the Vette that has a floorpan made out of treated *balsa wood* for reduced weight as well?

I'm pretty sure that an IRS helps handling, not launching. Guys who are serious about drag racing switch to a solid axle right? Isn't that one of the many reasons that Cobra Mustangs were a little slower than SS/WS6's in the 1/4?
Oh yeah, I had a run in with a Viper tonight myself. It was pretty sweet.

Why were the 99-02 Cobras slower than the SS/WS6? Not because of the IRS. Because of the weak engine. They have no torque to begin with, and they had quality control problems, causing the engines to produce power much below advertised levels. They came out with a "fix" for the lack of power problem, but even the fix didn't completely cure the problem. So they threw a supercharger on it.
Lonestar - That 0-100-0 feat was accomplished in just over 14 seconds by the Shelby 427 Cobra. Several production cars can now slaughter that. The new Viper, Z06, several Porsche's, and many other high priced exotics are capable of under 14 second 0-100-0 times.

I love how everyone here badmouths the cobra. A car that would kick the *** out of every thirdgen produced. You know it is OK to admit that there are better cars out there that arent made by GM!

IRS SUCKS......even for road racing cobras are FAR too heavy to be any good.....it is AWFUL for traction, and will break if you apply any power to it
secondly, 380 hp (flywheel) is a disgusting underachievment for a supercharged v8.
thirdly, they dont beat my third gen.....and never will.

thirdly, they dont beat my third gen.....and never will.
cobra's are POS's
IRS SUCKS......even for road racing cobras are FAR too heavy to be any good.....it is AWFUL for traction, and will break if you apply any power to it
secondly, 380 hp (flywheel) is a disgusting underachievment for a supercharged v8.

i make everyone look bad??
hows that?
by having a non-rusty, non-stock, non-v6 third gen that runs 11's?
ya i can see how that would **** on everyone's parade.
if you think the cobra is some sort of automotive engineering achievement, then you have problems and your in the wrong hobby.
the 2003 cobra has:
IDENTICAL chassis since 1979 (wow killer engineering) all suspension components interchange
a blown mod motor that makes less power than a N/A ls6
weak rear end/irs
its heavy as hell
explain to me what makes that impressive?
