OMG. He hit the rev limiter several times. What a NOOOB.
You know how in the back of every dudes mind we think we can be professional race car drivers? This guy just proved to me that i cant...
The take away from all of this is how surprisingly well the car puts up with sawing like that.
Dude is a good driver. Lots of speed and good lines.
Surprisingly it has not yet...but it's still too soon.Man I love vipers wish they would continue to make them. If you own an older viper I am sure you are happy. The value has gone up I am sure.
A lot of it was probably made possible by how light the front end was, with that big wang in the back and since it is classified as a front mid engine. Engine sits behind the front tires.

Production car sure seems loose in this case. Anywho when will someone break the overall record that Porsche has owned for 3 decades?
I'll bet his arms were happy when that run ended. That was quite a run. Gotta love these Vipers. But so brutal!
I'm wondering why he couldn't get over 278 kph (173 mph) on that last long straight. It was like he hit a wall. ??
If I remember correctly they hold that record because the ring was shorter due to construction... which means that it will likely never be broken.
You're absolutely correct. To knock off 13+ seconds is being way too optimistic though.
Maybe, but they did knock off 10 seconds back in 2010? Went from 7:22 to 7:12. My prediction from the very beginning was 6:55. Factory effort would result in a 6:48. It's too bad the factory couldn't get involved.
