Default Me v.s. Viper

Well this guy i know has a stock 2004 viper. By the end of december i will have full bolt ons. Just no head and cam. I also have 4.10s, sub frame connectors, lower controll arms, panhard rod, 315 nitto drags. The only tune work i will have is a hypertech power programmer. From a dig do you guys think i will hang or even be close with him because if not i wont even challenge him. I would like to run him and have it be close or just barley loose just to surprise him. Any imput welcome?

They trap around 120+...I think Bigman is right, he's got you.

you would need to put down over 415rwhp to have a chance, the vipers put down 430-440rwhp. your car with bolt ons will be around 350-370rwhp

i think he will still get me also but how close do you think it will be prob from like a 0 to 70 run or maybe a lil more. I dont really expect to win just keep up pretty close with him maybe a car or less.

I think with DR's and 4.10s you got a good chance to stay with him until 60-70 and then he'll start reeling on you.

if he can get all that power to the ground then you not going to win, if he can't drive then you got a chance.

the tires on those are 300+ series. They are rather large...not much of a handicap at all.

I don't see your setup capable of trapping 112mph, let alone 121mph.
You can get him from a dig for a bit less than an 1/8th mile assuming he can't launch.

Good luck with your loss! Only the human part equation can save you.

I suggest he stay home too.
Or, at least bring his sense of humor and leave the ego at home. Ego's not gonna like the outcome.

No "hanging" on will happen. And if there is any hanging, come back and tell us. Good luck!

I forsee some head hanging, but other than that, good luck, PS, honor to run one anyways. Yeah, jsut go have fun, get it on video, no shame in losing to a viper with your mods.

A thrill and honor indeed.
Never got to run one with the ol' SS. Wish I had. Would have been a pretty interesting race.
