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?

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
