Rob, don't forget the insurance on those suckers.

 

Chiz, You must go to mississippi college. What color is your truck? My girlfriend goes there and i'm there all the time. But I live down in Baton Rouge.

 

Once Rob see's how bad the insurance on a Viper cuts into his weed money, that thought will vanish

Now...........
Back on Topic

This thread sucks without a video
And I'll have to join the ranks of the as how a Lightning with only a t/b and ftvb beats a viper.

Not saying it couldn't have happened, just find it hard to believe, if the viper was running okay

 

yes, i go to mississippi college, the truck is red, usually parked as far away from morons here.

i should have the vid done tonight. i'm waiting on a buddy to get out of class, since he has the video.

The Viper had it's tires slashed, mang.

 

I really don't think a stock 1997 viper will run 11's all day...or will it?

 

With an average driver I'd say more like low 12's ... but solid 118-120mph's.

 

I was thinking more like 112-114 maybe. The vipers werent as strong back then.

anyway, send me the vid, i can host it.

 

My thoughts exactly

 

sorry guys, i'm having some major problems with the pinnacle 9 software. i've tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling it, but i'm having the same problems. i'm going to just use my friends software that came on his cpu and get it working. i'm going to try tomorrow and actually go from a dead stop.

Every time I see a viper I screw with them, and they must not be flooring it all the way, but I hear the engine rev up and they start like speeding up fast but I always pull away. I have a stock lightning with 371.5 at the wheels and 14.00 on the dot 1/4 mile

I did race an STI and win though, no joke. it was really really close though.

I love lightnings!!

 

WOW, I didn't think of that, screw that over priced Dodge, hehehehe

Gator remember that Viper, that sucker was consistant all day....

BUT I STAND CORRECTED
you guys are right, a 97 is down a full second on the 1/4 ET
over the new ones, SORRY BOUT THAT..........
(note to self, DO NOT buy 97 Viper)

Due to this new information, I'd say my Brother Chiz, could DEF whoop it
COME ON CHIZ, MOVIE TIME...............

 

A 97 Viper is better than the new ones as they had forged pistons. I believe this ended in 99. A GTS will run 11's easily and a RT-10 just needs exhaust and rocker arms to do 11's all day.

Rob,
We have a customer running 9's in a 99 model and stock internals. So keep the dream alive.

 

 

i raced mike tyson in his new enso ferrari and waxed him. the video is on its way, keep a close eye on it cause in the backround i kicked his **** also.
