Just out of curiosity, their was a post on the standing mile earlier where a Supra broke the record. Something like 228 mph or something. Why are the TT Vipers having trouble trapping beyond that? Is it the mile is too short for them to get up to top speed, and weight becomes more of an issue.
Sorry, I only had my Viper up to 130mph for a short stint so I have no clue what it is like above that speed. Just thought that the V10 would have an easier time climbing in the upper end than a Supra's engine. Then again it might be too short for the big engines to keep pulling.
