looks like the Gto is damn near as fast as the supra, and was that a skyline that blew by at the end
That is a 4 dr early 90's Acura Integra with a 4 cylinder making 450whp. They have a new turbo on order and are planning on making over 550whp with it. Its ugly as sin, but fast as hell.
Yeah we can tell that it is pretty quick. Goes to show that you can make anything fast, but it's what you want to be seen in is what matter's right. I enjoyed the last video. Big difference from the first video outcome. How often do you take your ride out Norice?
3-4 days a week and every Sunday I am in town I go up to the roll ons. My cars are definately not dyno or garage queens. If I can't reliably beat the hell out of it daily without breaking then I don't want it. This car running like it is with the power it makes should be able to run forever. Keep a good tune in it and take care of it and I should be fine for years to come, or until the itch for more power comes. I have one small issue to keep an eye on with the motor, but nothing major. If it develops into something bigger than I will take care of it and add more power at the same time.
Great thinking. Good to see that you actually drive and enjoy your car. Have a friend of mine that has a 02 GTS and the only time that he drives it, is to the car shows. But he doesn't really drive, just off the trailer into his spot. It is just stock and it kills me. Then I have a friend that has a 05 SL65 and he takes it out to the track every weekend and I am not joking, (we counted on friday) ran 17 times down the track. Running anywhere from 12.1 to 11.4's every time without shutting the motor off. It is a every day driver for him and I am here to tell you, he beats that car pretty good at the track. But that is what cars are there for. To enjoy and not museum joys. And good luck on your motor, hope nothing comes about and if it does, I would be doing the same thing. Looking for more PSI and internals. It is a dream to us for right now.
Thanks! You and your guys at the shop have this car on rails! I am going to get bored slapping around that Supra, we need fresh meat up there. Just kidding Danny. Next weekend is the matchup with the ZX10. That should be fun, although he may get me.
Where does all of this end....clearly you can make any car beat another in a straight line...where is the driving skill in all of this....not missing a shift?
Do you ever take your car to a real track and put it through its paces? You are selling the viper short if your goal is just to get into straight line street races (juvenile fun). Eventually you will get smoked and you will keep adding power to try and save face and ultimately you will have a car that is only good in a straight line.
Even though it has a lot of power stock...its the great balance of the car that makes it an amazing machine...throwing off that balance to prove a point in a straight line seems defeating....but than again if that's what you are into....enjoy

It is amazing that he keeps coming back. Like a little kid. What else do you have in store for the Viper if you do deside on going with more power. Just wondering because that is my goal here pretty soon. Going either supercharged or tt

I don't think I am going to do anything else to it. I like it as it is now, and if I get beat, oh well. The car drives great right now and I would hate to screw that up just to try and beat someone.

And I am actually going faster than I thought I was according to my speedo correction I posted in the other thread. If I hit 190mph yesterday on my speedo, I was actually going 198mph.

Actually 197.6 mph lol. Just giving you a hard time. Faster then I have ever been. Your top speed is around 220 right? How stable was your car at 200?
I don't know what my top speed is, as yesterday was the fastest the car has ever been since I have owned it. Theoretically I should be topping out at 205mph at redline in 5th gear, which I am prettty close to hitting at the bridge. Backtracking my speedo calculations from 190mph, I should be at 5500rpm at the bridge in 5th.
Norice,
Your car looks clean, love the red Viper and the black wheels. And how its lowered. Second, congrats on the win VERY nice kill.. You beat that Supra good IMO....
