Your right yellafeva, my bad. I would like to invite both you and insomZ to our Fall Colors Run in October. Our sports car group, along with some members of the local Vette Club, and the North Texas S2000 Club will be making a joint two day run to Arkansas. There will also be some other Vipers, Z350s, Porches, etc.
insomZ, I am sure you will get your wish to run a Viper
If either of you are interested, let me know and I will include you on our email list for the event. The exact date has not been set as of this time but most likely will be mid to late October.
Thanks,
Hal

People, Insomz has a LS1 with 380WHP. That's not as fast as the current SRT Viper, but it is still a beast in its own. I don't see why he couldn't hang with or beat one of the regular old vipers.

when I was first reading this thread, I thought he was talking bout racing a viper in his S2000 and I was getting embarrassed ! haha

hokiemax: thanks man.. its not as much of a beast as i want it to be.. my final goal w/ the car is 500rwhp on motor .. 600rwhp on the spray.

thats gonna take big cam/head upgrade.. 90mm intake manifold/tb.. eletric water pump.. pulley. and some tightly crossed fingers. lol so far i've seen a z06 make 485rwhp on motor out of a similar combo

Nowayforya: awesome i'm definately down for that. PM sent.

Looks like a lot of misinformation is flowing in this thread. 5000lbs Vipers, comparing RWHP with manufacturer's published HP, some people believe Vipers can't be beat with anything, some people don't bother to read the thread and assume it's an S2K vs. Viper race, ...

Vipers, just like the LS1 F-bodies, come HUGELY underrated from the factory. So you can't really look at their 400HP or 450HP factory rating and assume they'll dyno at 340RWHP or 380RWHP.

Kirk, you probably raced a 1st generation SRT-10 Viper. They'd probably dyno a bit more than your Z28 and probably weight a bit more too.

Good race.

Hey dude, would you mind posting some pics of your car, exterior and interior? Just curious, as my appreciation for these cars grow by the day.

My friend had a lightly modded SS and now owns a new cobra. Both rock stock and is crazy with mods.

Thanks!

That looks too "domestic", but sounds like a monster.

Well, excuse me! She's made, or assembled, in Canada.

Yeah, no bite alright, not even enough to take on a Viper.
