My Corvette vs Henessey 550 Viper First off, yes I launched crappy. Yes the Viper owner launched crappy. Yes it was for fun, he is my neighbor/friend/business partner. He dynoed at 450/500 or something like that ( I took the car to the dyno for him, I just cant' remember the exact numbers. ) I was trying out my new Kuhmo tires and thus didn't really launch until the 3rd run. No nitrous was used as I sold my kit and am EDIT: confused as to what TT kit to get 
. I hope you guys enjoy:

That's not oil, I am running catless so that's unburnt fuel particles, and yes I don't even have a nitrous kit anymore.
On the second run the Viper got squirrely going into second and moved into my lane, I saw it in my rear view (grins) and just shut down. We went to the top of third which for me is close to 120ish. Technically we shut down JUST before the actual end of the 1/4, it's marked out there (we re-do the lines every summer). I haven't done the drill mod yet and so I can't really go from 3rd to 4th because of the POS fluid restriction.
And since it was the Viper's first time out I wasn't really trying to beat him all hardcore (thus the walking off the line and asleep at the start). The third time though I actually was trying to run past him as hard as I could. We will have more video up as soon as the weather clears. Anymore questions, keep 'em coming! And thanks for the comments!

I have TSP Torquer V.2 112+2 LSA, Texas Speed Longtubes to the stock h pipe (minus cats), stock cat-back, VaraRam intake. Other than that it's bone stock, oh and I have the valvetrain to handle the cam of course.
