[Commbubba19]

Seriously how does this happen that far down the track twice?

Wow. That's crazy.

 

[2KBlackGT]

and still ran a 12.7 and 10.9 lol

 

[SonicDTR]

Banged a gear a little too hard is my guess.

 

[TClark22]

Or something broke in the suspension cause it looked like the exact same thing happened both times.

I'm guessing the same thing, with a combo of a ton of power and not enough tire and traction

 

[SonicDTR]

First video did look like an axle break or similar, but then it does the exact same thing again. Could have been repaired and broken again I guess.

Flatfoot WOT shifting without something like a WOTBox would shock the tires pretty badly.

 

[BlckBox04]

Absolutely and I'm willing to bet that thing is laying down some serious power on what looks like x275 tires

Its a procharged viper pushing over 1k to the wheels. The blue viper was H/C NA viper. Apparently these 2 vipers set the 5 gen records for fastest 1/4 mile time and the blue one did it for fastest N/A 5 gen time.

The blk best run was 9.4 @ 143 and the blue N/A was 9.9 @ 140.

If that blue gen 5 is truely N/A with H/C only that number is crazy.

Obviously he saved it so he did something right but isn't hitting the brakes the last thing you want to do? In the slow mo that's the first thing I saw after it got loose.

I wonder if there is something wrong with the differential. That thing bit hard left both times and you see tire marks on the strip from the right tire both times. It's almost like the clutches in the diff heat up or something and stop driving the the left tire. But what do I know I drive a cobra.

 

[jacker1991]

A few comments say "Broken Differential". No idea if it's true or not.

 

[earl lee]

Well there was something wrong it, what it was doing doesnt make sense.

 

[ZincYellowGT281]

Im curious as well, maybe the orange viper guy here knows the story, since the community for those cars are small...

Exactly. It was clear as day something was going on with the diff in that car.

He seemed to be right in the groove on that first pass and it pulled hard left, that is not a pleasant feeling..

 

[Geno-04]

Lucky is the only word that comes to mind.

 

[Blue Blitz]

Black car is an auto so doubt it's an issue slamming gears.

Blue car is truely NA. Beastly numbers for a non power adder car.

 

[Z06]

What takes out brown stains from undies?

+1 ... TH400 ... Nothing broke in the car according to the guys at D3. Strange deal.
