Hehe... true, but I think that particular Viper's V10 engine (which has a rather nice turbo running at 15PSI + NOS!!!) would pretty much leave the ol' 'line behind. :uh-huh:

The 1000HP dyno-sheet is also rather impressive... :D

there was a viper getting around here last sunday. nismorick wanted to have a go against it in his gtr butja the old dude wasn't into that kind of stuff. would have been good to see if they did have a go ..... $50,000 vs. $200,000 .... just to see if they are worth the money... personally I'd take a skyline, I'm not fond of anything thats got more cylinders than neccessary ....

I dont know exactly, i assumed theyd be around the 200 k mark :P Even so if i was buying a car that much i would be a multi millionaire to even consider it so the extra 200 or 300 k wouldnt bother me at all!

PS Ron dennis and i go way back so he could do me a litlle deal i spose

Having spent a day driving a 99 RT/10 Viper I can assure you all they are bloody wicked!!! Can you say TORQUE! Mind you with 8.0L’s you'd expect that. The Viper I drove accelerated as hard in 4th @ 60km/h as it did in 2nd. Somebody mentioned understeer!? Try oversteer, mostly power oversteer. The stock 315's aren't hard to break loose with 8.0L's of torque.

The built quality isn't the greatest, certainly not to Japanese standards, but it's not too bad.

Some Viper owners in the US have managed high 11's for the 1/4 stock! Not many complete standard factory cars can do that.

As for this beast, take a look @ the terminal speed on its "shake down" pass - 152mph!!! 10.11 1/4 with 152mph TS….. I'm guessing the 60ft time on that pass was very poor! Probably run on road tyres?

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
