5.0 was probably spinning. Bad ass viper though!!
all them viper guys can row
Glad you see my point.Another Paxton 5.Bro loses to a Dodge? Dodge was obviously spraying
foof, whats the weight on these new vipers? I need to hit lotto. I want one of these so bad
Viper moves out but driver mod ftw
Guy was banging gears sounded like no lift. Sorry Gtr guys :0)
The viper is 3350 ish , consider them big block cars, they make power everywhere and cut through the air after 100.
While I agree with that statement, if that 5.0 was making a whole 140 hp more, you would see it pulling somewhere in the powerband. Which we didnt. Not even when the 5.0 got the hit.
IMO, Torque wins races, HP sells Paxton's (w/o TQ booster).
But those numbers in the video still don't add up....
Seemed to go as expected, Viper has a great powerband not peaky at all, the 5.0 weighs more, likely has a peaky powerband, and doesn't have much torque or power under the curve.
So what if it's making 140whp more, how long is it really at that power? Not hating on centri's at all I run one myself, but I'll be getting rid of that shit for a turbo in the near future.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean from 60-140mph that viper gets 4 cars. I dunno how much racing you've done, but in ALL of my videos the math adds up. Just sayin. C5z, to TT 5.0. Math is Math. You can't fool Einstein.
Paxton car need a TQ booster/driver mod. They are slugs when not in peak TQ range. That being said RWHP #'s sounds right on the 5.0 if running E85 would like to know what RWTQ it has...
This praticular Viper is no joke though.
Damn that viper moved out, my next car is definitely going to be a 5th gen viper, they look sexy and are stupid fast.
740whp my ass
535tq.
3340 for the TA's. Considering how large the motor is, that's pretty good weight!
Viper owner is definitely a wheel man. He's had a ton of fast cars over the years. He still has a 1500hp Supra too.
Exactly.
You have to take in consideration a number of factors. Weight, gearing, powerband etc. While the Stang makes good horsepower, it makes lackluster torque in the low 500's range.
Power under the curve > peak power.
Exactly! This guy gets it.
Your calculator is broken. lol. This is why bench racing is nonsense. Real world racing > bench racing.
535tq.
Amen bro. The new Vipers are beasts!
LMAO! This post made me laugh the most so far.
Lmao this post made me laugh. The viper barely makes more Tq, and it may have more hp @ 2k rpms but that is irrelevant here. In a roll race the paxton car shouldn't be below 5-5500 rpms. Even with its "less power under the curve" it is still making over 600 rwhp for all of Or the majority of the race. Also you would see the paxton car stop the viper pull and/or start to pull on it as it got into the top of the rpm range and had a 140 rwhp advantage over the viper. The viper winning bc of better driver and other factors wouldn't have surprised me but the rape of a race looked more like it running a 550-600 rwhp paxton car not 740.
Edit: Just rewatched the vids... the 2nd vid is closer to what I would expect with a poor driver in the Paxton and good driver in t he Viper(yes I know paxton took the hit). Still seems way too slow for the numbers.
That mustang runs like poo with 740whp. I can see the viper edging out the mustang up top but not like that
740whp my ass
Is the 5.0 owner a member here?
Good kill for the Viper, they are bad ass cars.
