5.0 was probably spinning. Bad ass viper though!!
Paxton E85 740rw 5.0 vs bolt on Viper
- Thread starter FoofKiller
- Start date
Not saying the 5.0 should have won at all, just power wise should have at least "slowed his roll" or pulled him somewhere in the rpm range.
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.

Another Paxton 5.Bro loses to a Dodge? Dodge was obviously spraying 
Oh HELL YAH!
Glad you see my point.Another Paxton 5.Bro loses to a Dodge? Dodge was obviously spraying
I'd be interested to see the dyno sheets just to compare the powerbands of the two, these vipers continue to impress me the hell out of me. I'd love to be able to own one at some point. 5.0 needs turbo
SRT is on top of the domestic world right now. I hope they have an ACR Viper in the works.
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
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.
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.
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.
30 rwtq difference.
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.

Is the 5.0 owner a member here?
Good kill for the Viper, they are bad ass cars.

Viper went in dry. That first vid is painful.
I don't know what to tell ya, man. The proof is right there in the videos for ya. Goes to show ya that bench racing isn't foolproof. Anything can happen in a street race as it often does. You're taking it way too seriously. lol.
The 5.0 also had a 200lb passenger if that makes you feel better. It's the only other thing I can think of that might help you bench race it some more. lol.
this
and this
Viper is bad ass and no joke but a 740 whp anything should have whooped it assuming similar weight.
Need more info on Pax car.. .pulley? boost? trans?
such a shame vipers dont sound nice altho this one sounded okay...
