downhill dragstrips? COOL!

Where they using slicks. 420hp....able to hit high 11's. I give props where it's due...but that seems just a touch too fast, about .3 or so. What was the trap speed?

 

[mxblue23]

What was the trap speed?

118.8mph

GEESH...anyone want to buy a used viper acr. Performance parts are a bitch. Cheaper to mod a vette...or supra.

That run came pretty late in the day - after 5 or 6 runs? And the temps were great - mid 50's, no humidity, etc. 0-60 in 3.9 on street tires is cooking!

It's just eeking into the 11s but that's pretty cool for a Z. I added an '04 Z06 to the stable 2 months ago and I've been pretty damned impressed with the thing. It's no Viper (taking my Viper out is like putting on a Superman cape where the Z is pretty much just a very fast normal car - which is kinda fun though too because NOBODY pays attention to you at all).

The deals on all C5s right now are just insanely good so it was too hard to pass up - I stole my '04 Z, brand new for about $12K off sticker...taxes paid and all.

And there isn't much of a Z tax like ya get with the Viper, that's for sure! /images/graemlins/smiles

11.77 in a stock viper....was it a SRT-10 or GTS??? What was the 60ft and trap speed?

 

[NOITALL]

it was a 2000 R/T

 

[Tanked]

I can't see running a 11.77 in a bone stock viper....unless, they used slicks. OK I can kinda see that.

 

[VIPERn94FIVE0]

im pretty sure it was totally stock, factory tires and all...

Viper magazine should do a road test of our cars, I bet a stock viper could do 11.4 easily. :nod:
