I went down to Sarasota last weekend to test drive my 2005 Heffner Twin Turbo Stage 3 SRT-10 and I couldn’t be happier with the car.
Everybody can put twin turbos on a viper and call it a day but what Heffner did is a complete well-engineered and excellent performing car. The car drove like a super fast factory car with 1200 RWHP. It takes a lot to deliver that much power in a controllable way and Heffner’s well engineered kit did this perfectly. With the way AEM Traction Control is set up you are not fighting the car to hold it on the road going WOT. We didn’t have the best conditions to test the car either. We drove the car through stop and go traffic with 80 degrees outside and the car drove so smooth without any overheating or any other problem.
I have not been in anything near as fast as this car. When Jason floored the car in 3rd or 4th gear, I felt my chest pushed against the seat with so much force, I couldn’t breathe for couple seconds. Jason even saved my car with a fast reflex when an asshole in a truck decided to run the red light and then saw us stop in front of him and locked the tires and ended up slamming to the car next to us. If it weren’t for Jason pulling my Viper forward on the red light with a quick reflex while talking to me about the car, that truck would have rear ended us.
I couldn’t be happier with the way my Viper turned out. A completely re-engineered, outstanding masterpiece.
If you haven’t picked up Car & Driver’s November issue yet, let me give you guys a sneak preview.
Congratulations to Heffner on a great article. Those Car & Driver guys don’t kiss anybody’s ass. They just state the facts as they are.
What some of you may not know is that the Car & Driver test drivers abuse these cars beyond what a 16 year old can abuse a rental car and during these test they break all kinds of high reputation tuner or factory cars.
It is impressive that Heffner’s Twin Turbo Gallardo and Ford GT not only set Car & Driver records all across the board but held together without a hint of breakage or any other problem against the repetitive beating they got.
It’s great to see Heffner cars in the press. I’m sure we will continue seeing a lot of them.
If you are considering a performance upgrade to your Viper or any other hot rod, you should definitely give Heffner a call if only the best will work for you.
No surprise that Heffner Twin Turbo Viper GTS street car (Chad’s GTS) holds the record for World’s fastest Viper and World’s fastest IRS car with 7.99 sec @ 177 Mph.
Thank you Jason Heffner for everything. I couldn’t be happier.
Arda,
Congrats on the car. I'm glad you got to visit the shop and see how things are done around there. Give me a call if you still want to go to the track in that beast.

Thanks for the offer Gary.
It’s very hard to pass on that offer (especially coming from you) after I saw how much it takes to drive a 4 digit RWHP car around.
We are doing some final touch ups and we’ll see how the timing works.
I’ll give you a call.
Arda I told you not to worry several months ago. Your car is flawless. I saw it recently and you should be very happy and proud. Good Luck and enjoy your fantastic ride.
It was great to finally meet you in person and I was happy to see that the Viper met your every expectation. The boys overseas won't know what hit 'em.

Thank you very much Jason for everything.
It was a pleasure meeting a class act person like you.
The Viper turned out awesome just like any masterpiece built by you.
It already scared the hell out of me when you floored it on pump gas, I can’t imagine what the expression on my face will be when you are done with the final touch ups and we go out for a ride again.
I couldn’t be happier.
Thanks again for everything.
