my love for dodge vipers will never die

this car needs a better driver, this guy is all over the track

Can You Do better? 33"x17" tires, Narrow suspention, doing 8s?

no, i couldn't do better.. in fact if i were driving the car it would be in multiple pieces.

all i am saying is that he is obviously not expert enough of a driver to be in that drivers seat.

I dont know if youve ever driven a car on slicks before, but its not that easy to make go straight. When big power is being made at the rear wheels getting the tires to grab is pretty hard. The rear slicks are usually aired down to 10psi or lower which at the top end of the track is a bitch to keep the ass end from moving around with psi that low. If there is a cross wind, forget it the ass end is coming out. A good driver can handle it like the driver in the video. Then you have to factor in with the weight transfer the front wheels aren't doing a whole lot so when the car does move its not as easy as simply turning the wheel a little bit to fix it. Any driver that can run that knows what hes doing.

*bows down to those of superior knowledge*

the problem with this car being a handfull, is the car still has a street type of suspension..they still drive this car...

What's the world record time of quarter-mile?

do you mean on an actual 1/4 track? if not i'm sure it has to be a vehicle run out in the salt flats...

this driver is on top of his game, 8s holy shit he is good

Yeah, actual 1/4 track. Those salt flat times are something else, track is what matters.

4.665 seconds @333.58 mph is fastest i can find.....WOW

sorry no video right now

even if there were a video, i don't think you would see much

Holy shit! What was that, the road runner?

4.428sec 11/12/06 Tony Schumacher

that was only a few days ago...how much faster can these cars go!??!?!

Sick shit alright. Those dragsters are badass. I've seen Opel Manta doin' 9-10 seconds, even that is fast if you think about it. Damn 4 seconds.
