Track Rental VID - My 2001 GTS Goes 11.67@120+

[YELL03]

We rented out ATCO on 4/29th.

My 2001 Viper GTS - smooth tubes, Roe filters, and Kumhos ran 11.67@120+ with a 1.68 60' launching at 3500rpms.

My 5 previous passes launching at 2000rpms were three 11.8s and two 11.9s all at 120+ and all with 1.8 60's.

My 92 Stang also ran 11.27@124.56 (1.81 60') on Drag radials. Its 1st pass it cut a 1.66 60', but did not get it down the track as well and only ran 11.6@123+. If I would have nailed the 1.66 60' on the 11.2 run I would have had 10s on radials for sure, but I blew a headgasket after the 2nd pass.

That's unreal!!!!!!!!!!
that must be a record because I've never heard of a stock gts doing that....

[tom86zt]

I know HLD TYTE did a 11.7 @ 119 on the michelin's here in Chi-town. Thats one badass ride though, definately a freak....

[YELL03]

Thanks guys!

I am an average driver.

I can't powerhift, I can't ride the clutch out on launch, and I can't do a standing burnout with a manual tranny car.

I do what is comfortable.

I sit close, I do a quick burnout up to the line to clean the tires, I hold the rpms at 2000rpm (3500 on the 11.67) and dump the clutch, as soon as I feel it grab I nail it. I grsnnyshift and keep it straight.

Anyone can do the same.

Oh yeah, great track prep and cool weather helped quite a bit.

I did that same 2000rpm clutch dump and ended up with a 2.2 60ft. I need Kumhos!


Great job none the less. I'll be in the 11's soon



























As I get a new motor

[diabolos88]

your car is totally stock other than the mentioned mods? unbelievable run

[YELL03]

Tanked -

On Pilots that method got me a 1.89 60' and a 12.31@118.5

diabolos88 -

Thnaks.

Car has Roe filters, Roe smooth tubes, and Kumhos.

I have 11K miles on it and have owned it since 7/04 when it had 7K on it.

The Kumhos are everything.

I've taken the car to the track three times and a total of about 10-15 runs, only the last time on Kumhos.

My worst time ever in it was a 12.6 on Pilots and my lowest trap was 116.

yell03, great job! You're getting me hyped about the next track day. Ending last year I ran an11.79 at around 119 with a 1.95 60 foot on the pilots. @ just had the kumho's put on - 315/30 and 335/30 on rear. hoping to match your 60' foot. When I ran that I was at 455hp/508tq. I added the vec2 and now am at 485/543. @n some areas of the curve I picked up over 50 rear wheel. highly recommend the vec2 for fairly stock vipers.

have you dyno'd the car yet? you must have similar power.

[YELL03]

I haven't had the car dyno'd. I was thinking about it, but as long as I have track #s I am OK. I would like to see what kind of dyno #s it puts down justto see how it compares to other Vipers.

If those are rear wheel #s I am no where near that, but at the motor I am probably around the 455/508 due to the tubes and filters.

I'll tell you what, if you ran a 11.79@119 1.95 60' on Pilots, if you nail even a 1.85 60' on Kumhos you will run a 11.59, if you run a 1.8 = 11.49, 1.75 = 11.39, and a 1.7 = 11.29. If you cut a 1.68 you will be solid 11.2s.

I have a 4 year extended warranty on my Viper so I don't want to add any mods that might jeapordize that.

Is the VEC2 easy to install and uninstall by itself???

Good luck,

Howard

Nice run, Howard. Congrats!!

[hold tyte]

I installed the vec2 myself. Everything was fine except i didn't have a secure enough connection for the power to the vec2. So the vec2 would turn on but the car didn't. After figuring that out i simply made a new power connection under the dash and the thing worked great. It's a 2 hour job for your first time. I ended up removing it and reinstalling it and re-install took 15 minutes. I relied on a local shop that does supras to do the tuning. Had a program burned for 93 octane. Still need to make it back for a 100 octane burn. If you are considering the vec2 I'd highly recommend it. It helped smooth out my curve in a few flat spots and added power everywhere, not just at peak.

[YELL03]

Thanks for the info.

Hmmmm, could it give me enough to go 11.5s???

I really think I am going to leave it as is, I'll keep playing with my Stang.
