  • just an observation about another car....

    a viper at the track today ran 13s. i was shocked. he went around everywhere acting like a bad ***. but then he ran and had no respect, only cause he was acting it up before hand. if he didnt, i would of had all the respect in the world for have just a nice car.

      Vipers are naot made for drag racing, they are made for road racing. They could kick and F-body's butt on auto-x

          maybe he wasn't driving it right. 13's with slicks is pretty bad.

                He didn't know how to drive it.. He should have gone low 12's on street tires...possibly high 11's on slicks

                  hate to break it to ya, but vipers suck *** in atuo-x. they have a very short throttle tip in before they break teh tires loose adn teh suspension from teh factory allows a lot of wheels chatter.
                  they are made for road racing adn touring on well paved roads.

                    A Viper is defintely capable of more that 13's. He probably just needs some more practice at the track.

                      Vipers are pretty long cars. Stock there not really impressive in handling but the potential is def. there. i dont think they could out handle a F-Body. Stock vipers(the newer 500 HP ones)are capable of 12.0 stock on streets. with slicks and a good driver 11 arent really challenging.

                        13s is still respectable nonetheless. I think the people are pretty stupid for laughing just because he was a little slower then everyone expected.

                          It is respectable but its funny that this guy has a 12 sec car and talks sh*t and cant even drive.

                            Newer ones go mid to low 12's stock. The oldest ones go high 12's and low 13's.

                              Yeah that 13 was definatly bc of the driver, not the car. If the race were any more than a 1/4 mile I'm sure he'd beat most of the cars at the street track. But it's a viper so what do ya expect? Douche needs to learn how ta drive!
