I raced a Viper!

[dayofpain]

recently no... but i havent changed much since i did dyno.

327 to the ground... and that was before i got rid of my slipping clutch before i fixed my leaky pos bov, before my radiator (that did nothing) before my drag coils, before my fuel pump, and before i was tuned for my turbo. the coils only helped cause my car was skipping off of the dyno. lol

i dyno'd that then put all those parts in, then drove to the track and blew my tranny to a million pieces. wanna know when you are making real power? you can split your input shaft in two. what a mess that was. with my tuning we ran her on a mo-tech for stoich. but it was done at a dragstrip not on a dyno. so who knows. we guessed right around high 340's we think i got about 20 more hp out of her because the stoich mix was soooo messed up.


all that matters is that i hope i get the plate i have been waiting for. i paid for it but i dont know if i got it yet.

200ALTR = 200 hp a liter... i love that...

I think he said 327 or around there.

So I go in to do my taxes if I get some good money back I am getting some of these.

Wow... did you just fix your stock tranny or step up to a dox box or STi? I'd be afraid to keep the stock tranny in there, unless you don't mind running a real soft clutch and RE-92's to protect it.

Also, what turbo/intercooler do you have in your setup to put out that power?

[ZER026D]

M2 what do you think.

[dayofpain]

i actually had my stock gearing heat treated. it wont help much but it was practically free and it will help some. anything is better than stock, i do mean anything. the stock tranny we have has been used in subaru's for years upon years. it even came in a few justy's. however the sti tranny(6-speed) suxxx. 8 grand for only 300 hp reliability? what kind of poop is that?
as for the dogboxes such as mrt or harbinger. those fruitcakes wouldnt back their product. i said i was going to build a 600 hp wrx and they said that they couldnt gauruntee that their box would hold. then i said how about a number about how much power it could hold. i couldnt pin them down on any numbers. they wouldnt commit to anything. then i finally asked if they "thought" it would hold the current power i was making and all they would say is maybe. they bugged the crap out of me. so i said f-- it and put the stock one back in (after the heat treating). i figured i had already acomplished what i wanted. an 11 sec street driven car. i am happy with that.


i am running the biggest top mount on the market currently its an m2 stage III top mount. which is bigger than most of the front mounts currently offered. and a garret hybrid t3-t4 she was made custom for me and flows 673 cfm. ugliest turbo i have ever seen though.

btw: even with good tires on her... i can spin all 4 past my 60 ft mark. and have the video to prove it.

Could you post the video? I would love to see that. :o

BRB: I'm gonna go change my shorts now.

[dayofpain]

clean up your poopy pants. lol

the video is in hi 8 and i do not have a converter to put it on my computer. its funny as hell because the front wheels spin then they grab then when those grab the back wheels spin then they grab. its like a seesaw rodeo going down the strip. god dam hilarious.

Hi 8.....is that DV tape? I have a Digital Video Camcorder and I transfer it onto my computer. (I just have to go pick up my damn firewire cable ).

[dayofpain]

no..not digital hi 8. old school hi 8... i know how the other works... pile of poooooopppp.

Ok now I realy dont care what anyone thinks cause I went back to where I raced that Viper and if he was not getting on it why did he lay scratch for at least 30-40 feet. I guess thats proof that he was trying to race my if not I dont know what is so bring on the dogging and if you realy want to dogg lets line them up and run one to see who can drive there car. :wink:

[ArthurS]

Speaking of bikes, I just say a silver R1 riding side-by-side with a Haybusa (sp?). Both silver and both looked sweet. They were riding up McCarren towards Caughlin ranch.

You didn't notice 30-40 ft. of spinning tires? Make up your mind, dude!

Khail

[ZER026D]

The only reason I said he must have not got on it is cause scott said no way I could hang with one so I guessed the guy lugged it. I guess my car is so loud that I could not here the other guy burning out but there is like 30-40 feet of burn out marks where I raced him if you want you can go look. Its right downtown reno one block north of Riverside theaters on sirrera in front of reno live.

Oh one more thing if you have ever drove in a big hp rear wheel drive car. I know with some tires you can spin them so fast you dont hear errrrrrrrrrr its more like szzzzzzz before you even hook up at all but you still leave marks. Like my friends Saleen thats like 450hp or somthing to the rear wheels. When we were in it we thought somthing was wrong cause if we pushed the gas we could not hook up. All we could hear was szzzzzzz and then we could smell the tires roasting up and we left some hefty scratch once we got moving. :o

I've seen that on expensive stock tires: Vettes, Vipers, etc. Chances are you hung with this guy cuz he couldn't get traction. A Viper's got so much torque, they're hard to hook up... you see it at autocrosses a lot... the Vipers getting owned Neons (and not even the SRT-4s) because they can't get any traction exiting the corners, while the Neons just hot-foot it around.

[MattR]

SRT-4 is still fastar

[tysonK]

i used to own a neon, i'll tell you what people that thing handled well.

[ArthurS]

I used to drive a company car, and the thing was crap. It can't go past 85 without shaking and vibrating. As for handling, the WRX eats it up.
