Viper kill story with Video...

[Falco]

Howdy,

I was legal street racing the other night. I had a run against a new Viper with 100 shot. Here is the video:

I know the video sucks, I'm trying to get a better one.

I've serious traction problems so that was a 0 psi start, which resulted that he was on my neck out of the hole. Luckily I was able to held him behind me from brute force. :wink:

On a note, don't mind the times, they are including reaction times. I was running around 93-94 mph that night.

Later,

So what does your truck run in the quarter mile?

AWESOME video 8) ! Nothing better than watching a pick 'em up truck outrun an exotic !

So what does your truck run in the quarter mile?

That 1/8th mile equates to a 13.30 or so, but he said he couldn't leave with boost.

I've also mentioned, that don't mind the times, since they are including reaction times. Anyway, I've only run once on the 1/4 mile with this build, 12.3@114 with 1.96 on the 60ft. That's with 17 psi with a very conservative tuning. I was running 11.8@115 with my old short block with 1.70 short times, with 20 psi. On a side note, we have no tracks with preparation, so it's not that easy to pull a good short time...

This Viper can go around 8.0 in the 1/8 with 2.2 short times...

Smaug!

The wheels are BBS RX II's, 18x8... They are the source of my traction problem, but I really like them, so they will stay on the truck. I'm planning to pick up a set of Yokohama A048's for them tomorrow. We will see...

Cool truck you have! Reaction times do not get included in your e.t. though; you can sit there for five seconds, the timers don't start until you break the beam by leaving.

Thanks.

About reaction times. Well, I'm not stupid or something and I'm racing quite for a while now. Belive me on this event they were displaying times with the reaction time included. I mind you, that's not your good, old, average US race track, but a POS in middle Europe, where they care nothing about any kinda rules or regulations...

Wasn't insinuating that you were stupid! Just didn't know if you were aware of how the timers work, at least here in the U.S.
