I ran a nearly stock Gen 1 1995 Viper RT/10 the other night (on a closed road course). He was a good driver and got a particularly strong example from the factory. Lots of mags tested those at around 13 flat in the 1/4 mile. He's been able to get his to do 12 flat with just an exhaust. Anyway, from the low rolls or the one race we did from a stop, his huge skill and torque advantage had him jumping out 2-3 cars pretty quickly and pulling from there. Roll on races from 80MPH were a lot closer. I remember on one I got the jump (1/2 a car maybe). He then hit it and I remember thinking it took forever for him to overtake me. It was probably just a few seconds but I was shocked at how long it took. He did eventually appear out my side window and creep past but I was stoked at the margin between my litlle sedan and that purpose-built sports car. I need about 30 more RWHP/TQ and probably some wider rear tires to give him a real good race.

Congrats! Vipers are real beasts

Ask him to supercharge that badboy and have some real fun with it.

For what its worth, I just found out that his complete list of mods is:
Smooth Tubes
S&B Filter
Balanger cat-back exhaust

Not just the exhaust as I'd thought.

That looks pretty fun, win or lose. You've got no worries about other traffic or anything. Did he let you drive the Viper?
