A friend of mine rolled up the day after purchasing his Viper. Set of BFG drag radials and everything else stock. Ran 12.35 at (I think) 118mph. It's been a couple of years since then....kinda foggy on the mph. I know I had him to the 1/8 mile with my 12.50 run and he pulled pretty good from there. lol!

Pretty impressive for bone stock and his first day in the car.

Maryland-based Gen2 (RT10) owner and super-driver known as "Wanted" has run 11.55 @ 120 on stock tires with a K&N air filter and smooth tubes. I saw him run a 3-pass series of 11.59, 11.58, 11.55. In the right hands, a very fast car.

Here is a vid of him running 11.76 118.98 against my C6Z. Please right click save as....

Ranger....I have seen that vehicle of you two..Very impressive times from bothsuper drivers...

Running 11.2 with only DR's at 127 mph is quite a feat....

On the same token.....11.5 at 120 mph with only K and N and smooth tubes on a 10 year older desighned car is also amazing....


Very nicely done on your part and thinks for the info..

the reason Im asking is because I in the process of trading my 378 rwhp and 370 rwt 2004 2.73 geared auto C5 for a stock 99 rt10 Viper...

But I want to be sure Im getting a faster car....

Cant quite afford the C6Z06..So the rt10 is the next best thing in my mind...

ANYWAYS..Any more real life times for these Vipers from anyone...

I've never seen a stock one at the track get below a mid 12, regardless of the year. But for the most part the Viper owners can't drive worth a crap, they just like to pretend they are cool! I would trade though, lots of potential in those things, and it's a freaking VIPER, cool in my book!

My brother-in-law has a RT/10 (450hp version) and his 1st pass down in it (2nd time EVER down the track) he went 12.69 at 114mph. Definately not a good driver. So I'd say 12.1-12.2 with a good driver. -Mark
