Nice kill! Sounded like the Viper was bogging pretty bad, was he spinning?

 

[Serpent]

Damn, good race. Whats done to the GT500?

 

[D1SC_GT]

Nice runs. Viper needs the driver mod BAD

 

[VNOMIS]

Got that machine gun wheel hop going on.

 

[corysmach1]

Good kill.

 

[GT Premi]

Wow. Very good kill. Would be nice to see the same races against a driver who knows how to avoid the rev limiter. Viper driver sucked.

I post at the VOA, i would say a good majority that dont track their Viper are like the one in this video. There are countless threads asking how to launch the car, or my car runs 12s. Lol, this is a 640hp car that weighs 33xxlbs. It should be running mid 11's (decent driver), low 11's maybe high 10 with awesome driver.

Still waiting to hear what OP has done to the GT500.

Viper was spinning like crazy on the hit. Interesting to see the GT500 hook and book. Good runs.

Viper is on the limiter cause the mf'er aint got no traction brah, you cant tell that its spinning??

 

[RX1Cobra]

Is that the limiter or traction control?

 

[johnkn]

Is that the limiter or traction control?

Viper traction control = right foot

It must have been a really good kill, I see the OP already has at least 2 threads on the subject. ;^)

If in NY and assuming ~45*, no traction and bouncing off the limiter in both gears...

 

[whitevenum]

Some serious wheel hop in that viper

 

[ZYBORG]

Nice kill, viper driver sucked...

 

[GotHemi?]

Good kill!

Pretty sure that gen viper has TC. Either way he was spinning. Would like to see a rerun with better traction or a higher speed to help. Nice kill though OP!

I really hope that's what was wrong with the Viper because that was embarrassing.

I didn't even watch the video. The comments cemented the fact it would be a waste of my time.

As a Viper owner, I just don't get why so many people complain that these cars are hard to drive. They have 50/50 weight distribution and 345 rear tires! I'm not Mario Andretti but I've drag raced mine dozens of times and road coursed it even more and it flat hooks up. Any half wit can be quick in a Gen IV/V Viper!

Yeah, I'm not buying that the Viper was spinning in that video. If it was, it must have the most plumb dead straight thrust angle in the world. Didn't look like it wiggled even a little bit.

It wasnt, it just had a crap driver. A crap driver in a manual can make anything slow.
