Firebird Vs Srt10 Vs Acr ( Vipers) got together last week with a buddy....
His car is a 2002 ACR
-no cats
-KN's ( of course)
-smooth tubes ( of course)
-short shifter
-3.55 gears
My 2003 SRT10
-KN's
-1.7 roller rockers
-short shifter
The Fire bird convertable
413 rwhp full bolt ons and "cam only"
We 3 lined up on a closed straight line course at 60 mph all in second gear...
Beep Beep beep....Wheres the fire bird???? not quite enough for this crowd..
he disapears rather quickly and it seams as though only the SRT10 and ACR are racing..
My SRT10 pulls about a car ahead of the ACR through second gear and we finsish up around 140 with me maybe two cars ahead..
We do this three or so times and the SRT10 is a lil quicker..
BUT...the ACR had a passanger while I was alone in the SRT10..So we agree to let the passanger ride with someone else and go again..
We go 3-4 times and it is kneck and kneck till 140 mph..Sometimes i was a lil in front sometimes he was a lil in front..But we were never more than a car apart..
Pretty much dead even races.....
I beleave that stock for stock the SRT10 is really only 1-2 tenths and 1-2 mph faster than the ACR...
If i remeber correctly the SRT10's have maxed out at 123 mph trapps while the ACR 's have maxed out at 121 mph trapps...
His 3.55 gears and no cats matched my 1.7 roller rockers and KN filters quite nicely....
Dam fun races man...But in the end the SRT10 won..because a spectator came and said he liked the look of the SRT10 over the ACR while they were parked side by side...
Sorry 2002ACR..had to rub that one in LOL
Oh to the fire bird..it was fun and thanks for coming..See you again soon

It was a silverish convertable...Im wondering if it was an auto...Seemed like he never had a chance...
Then again the convertables are close to 3600 pounds and he was a bit down on power and WAYYYYY down on torque

I raced a stock c6Z06 in my other Viper and lost bt 1.5 cars from a 60-140 mph roll race...
That Viper had 450 rwhp...
I used my bell tronics timer on that Viper and ran a best ever of 12.2 at 121 mph out of 75 runs at the same location..
With my new SRT10 viper Ive ran a best of 12.0 at 120 mph at the same location in 10 runs so far....
" keep in mind this is at 1000 ft elevation in hawaii year long 70-80 degree night time air"
So I feel pretty confident that this SRT10 will give a c6z06 a good run and probally lose by 1-2 cars from 60-140 mph...Just like my 450 rwhp 1999 RT10 did...
Gotta be honest about it...I should lose
