1:36 for anyone who wants to be able to click on it because you can’t click on his time stamp because it is 10 years old and RUclips didn’t have that then.
That was an orgasm with 10 cylinders and 4 wheels...Seriously, a TT Viper is the sickest stuff in the world. Amazing how a 60-90K car with 10k worth of upgrades makes it run right up, and past the Veyron, Mclaren, any Ferarri (as if they really were competition), Lamborghini and Posrches costing over and above the price of a Viper with all the upgrades.
I like the last video with the driver's cam. I just love hearing the sound of that twin turbo charged V10. It just has that unique sound to it compared to a Z06 vette's V8. Those two extra cylinder makes all the difference at the 1/4 mile.
As for those dissing his reaction time. This is a common practice for boosted application in the drag racing world. The 1/4 mile time clock doesn't start until you leave the line, so they will sit there letting the boost build up and then just take off like a bat outta hell.
If you read the full write up on this session on his website, he explains the poor track conditions due to people racing cars with street tires earlier in the day which ruined the track prep. Also in the evening in Florida the humidity was atrocious so the track surface was damp. Also, keep in mind this is a full weight car, and also on moderate settings, probably nowhere near the full 1700hp. It's all about getting the car to hookup.
@YeeSoest thanks lol the 330ci is a nice one too ;) My point is that RWD is not only for going fast in a straight line. Some cars are designed for road racing rather than drag strip racing. The Viper is one of them. A 1700 bhp Viper is not a road racer, but then again it's no longer stock either. AWD is great only with traction control. If you are racing on a course that doesn't allow usage of traction control it just doesn't matter any more.
Yah I think if you go to his website, there is a good article on the car, and the terrible conditions at the track that night. The last pass he almost lost control there for a second, but he took a chance and drove through it, and it ended up being the best pass of the night
great choice=) in germany the color is called Silbergrau metallic (silver gray), probably the same color you had! best color there is for 3series convertibles!
@KKM13200 Correct. Allows you to run a smaller turbo (relative to the boost needed per cylinder) and puts less stress on the turbo's. Only downside is you'll need 2x the room and have to deal with two turbo's, piping and oiling systems. But I think its a much better system for V type engines.
How bad ass is your car that no matter how good you are at shifting gears, the car wants to lose it's ass cuz there's soooooo much power? Dude, Sick Viper bro.
@JeepMan19007 As for the heads, ORECA was making 740hp on "small valve" heads on pump gas in the late 90s. Again, in a turbo build, valve and port SIZE takes a back seat to SHAPE and PLACEMENT. The late model heads bolt right on, as there is no difference between the blocks, other than waterjackets. The intake mani is a good point, but only a step in the right direction. The plenum could be bigger and the runners shorter. Either way, they are fun to turbo. It's too bad about they sound...
@Ghostt5786 Very true. its due to un-equal length axles used in front wheel drives. What you see in this vid is the effect of having massive power and front wheels that are barely touching the ground.
@TheTNSmw2 Another interesting fact is about the viper V10 originally Heffners Performance was putting twin superchargers on this motor and selling it to customers but found twin turbos worked better. Originally they were having breakage problems with the drive train (on the first gen vipers) Dodge has sense beefed up the drive train and eliminated the problem. Mitsubishi still hasn't built the AWD with the 4g63 strong enough in stock format to with stand more than 500hp
@Snakes709 You are 100% correct the time doesnt start until he trips the beam. I'm a regular at drag racing and .0000 is considered a perfect reaction time. In fact at the track I run (Bandimere) the give you a lapel pin for getting one. Seldom does a guy get one! Bottom line is if you dont see a redlight its good
It's because a non-bored Viper V10 can make, probably, 3,000hp with pistons, cam, twin turbos, intake, crank, and an exhaust. 1,700hp isn't half what a V10 can make.
When running strictly for time, reaction time doesn't matter since the timer won't start until the front tire breaks the timing beam. Reaction time only matter when someone is in the other lane.
@KKM13200 because its a V10 engine. and the V layout its better to run one turbo per cylinder bank side. Helps the exhaust flow from the manifold to the turbochargers making it spool quicker.
At 1:43, if you pause it, you can see the reflection of his tailights, that's the dew and condensation on the track, the humidity is terrible there in the evening in florida
I put a Turbo on my '96 Firebird; not sure what it was dishing out, but I can't keep that even close to straight, it was always from take off, drifting to the side; I'm actually surprised he did so good putting Twin Turbo on a Viper! lol
This car, while wicked, is similar to how a 2 stroke accelerates, don't believe it. Ride a perfectly tuned Rg 500 or even a tight, chambered RZ 350. The power to weight is phenominally close to this. All with pistons the size of small beer cans. Neat car, you can tell the driver struggles to control the wheel. Cool!!
@carrick166 yes i understand how bracket racing works. when trying to run a quick e.t. when not in the actual race, drivers will wait till after light is green, this helps with getting the quickest e.t possible. i do understand when in the actual race, you want to put together the best package possible with your reaction time and e.t. together. like you said you can run off of your dial in but with a better reaction time than the opponent you can still win race with a better package
To all the honda civic fanboys out there who say "My civic can beat that and . . . yadda yadda yadda . . ." You may have a badass civic, fast as hell, lots of work, time, and sweat in it. Your car might smoke this viper to the 1/4 and back without touching your NOS, and I commend you for that. Guess what though, at the end of the day, it's still a civic. I'd take a bone stock 1992 RT/10 over any civic anyone has to offer. This viper is a beas!. No matter what you drive, you have to admit that.
@YeeSoest no the ACR-X is made for sport. The ACR is completely street legal and many people own them. I have a gen IV Viper coupe and I outraced a Ferrari F430, Porsche C4S, and kept pace with a track modified NSX this summer. The point is that the Nurburgring record is (or at least was until recently) held by a rear wheel drive American made vehicle
@WarpPal ET is based on the time from start to finish. The guy could sit there for 5 minutes then go and still have an 8-9 second pass. His reaction time would just be horrendous. It also depends on what kind of timing they are doing. He obviously wasn't racing anyone and was "tuning".
@954rr21 His reaction time is like that because he needs to build boost for the turbo, thats why he revs it when the light turns green and he just sits there
@JeepMan19007 I say the block might be weaker because it's 60lbs lighter. The only way I can think of Ricardo and McLaren getting that much weight out, is to sink the waterjackets. The cam-in-cam is nifty and all, but has nothing to do peak power. It helps emissions and widens the power band a bit. Neither of these factors matter in a turbo cam grind. Turbo cams aren't the unholy compromise that NA cams are.
i saw this video 6 years ago, when it had like 5000 views. my childhood xD
Lol this is my first liked vid
Same for me! Always have loved vipers.
+DeadNullermand same man!
+DeadNullermand This and the M3 CSL Top Speed video were the first car videos I saw on RUclips.
@@the-stig-nickname i still watch the M3 video as well.
Back in the days of watching Streetfire videos
And 14 years later, this video is still tough
I can't get enough of this! Been watching it for a long time!
***** that is ONE FAST VIPER!!!!!!!
since like 2008 for me lol
10 years of this video , those are the first videos i have seen on youtube
That take-off at 1.30 looks almost surreal! And the sound is beautiful! Man, I'd love to have a car like that.
UGR had the first TT Viper in the 7's... 3800 lbs with driver, T-56, and IRS. This was also in 2006!
I remember sitting in hs blasting this video in class lmao
Nice vid. I dont know about 1700 horse, but yeah shes packing some heat big time.
1:36 even the camera zoom couldn't keep up! A REAL BEAST
1:36 for anyone who wants to be able to click on it because you can’t click on his time stamp because it is 10 years old and RUclips didn’t have that then.
still watching this in video 2014 : )
2015 =D
6283622826 =)
Nigel Varnado 2016 xd
2020
2021
2:02 Is that a bomb that's just gone off? oh no its a twin turbo Viper...my mistake.
LoL i was watching this video as a kid , thats what got me into vipers and i've never been able to find it . Tnx uploader
Guys, Vipers have run deep, deep 7s, lol, this is old news.
Wow. I cant imagine jumping with that kind of torque! Great job keeping it strait.
That sound just snakes me smile...I love that engine! 😯😮
Whether or not he is the fastest or best driver, this is literally one of my all time favorite youtube car vids.
That was an orgasm with 10 cylinders and 4 wheels...Seriously, a TT Viper is the sickest stuff in the world. Amazing how a 60-90K car with 10k worth of upgrades makes it run right up, and past the Veyron, Mclaren, any Ferarri (as if they really were competition), Lamborghini and Posrches costing over and above the price of a Viper with all the upgrades.
It’s really cool to hear the tires ripple when the clutch is dropped.
You Know when the fuel pump is as loud as the engine you are gunna have some power lol
I like the last video with the driver's cam. I just love hearing the sound of that twin turbo charged V10. It just has that unique sound to it compared to a Z06 vette's V8. Those two extra cylinder makes all the difference at the 1/4 mile.
I like this video! Great old Viper and fine tuned twin-turbo engine, it's really cool..)))
As for those dissing his reaction time. This is a common practice for boosted application in the drag racing world. The 1/4 mile time clock doesn't start until you leave the line, so they will sit there letting the boost build up and then just take off like a bat outta hell.
That viper is ridiculous. Nice job
Damn, 12 years ago. Thought I lost it.
Absolutely beautiful, a true masterpiece of machinery.
omg! All Dodge Viper twin turbo videos that I watch are ridiculously crazy! :D
Years later an it's still getting views viper is a different breed of car really I've never saw that done in the 2014 p.n.g
I love the sound it makes when it takes off... Sounds like a bomb goes off
Sounds like it broke the damn sound barrier when it took off. Sick.
can only say:
TREMMEC, the only transmission capable to manager so much torque!
This was one of the first " cool car vids " uploaded onto RUclips since it's creation, cheers.

damn that thing is all over the place
I can't even imagine the stress it puts on that drivetrain with launches that hook like that!
damn!!!there was a kick from god there at the acceleration seriously!!this this is a beast!!
props to the driver. no wheelspin with that much tp and tourqe is impressive
Finally someone with some brains!!!!
Yea everone thinks a honda can beat this, no a honda- looking body with a racing engine can
@YeeSoest thanks lol the 330ci is a nice one too ;)

Only one word sums that up...BADASS!!
The launch is sounds like the pistol of a horse race...this thing is fucking scary. ..love this shit
duuude, if this was HD and in fulscreen with surround sound....... ORGASMIC :)
Yah I think if you go to his website, there is a good article on the car, and the terrible conditions at the track that night. The last pass he almost lost control there for a second, but he took a chance and drove through it, and it ended up being the best pass of the night
That ride looks absolutely terrifying, zig zagging down the strip at 160 MPH
IN MY CHILDHOOD, I WANTED TO "OWN" A VIPER GTS!!!!! BLUE/WHITE STRIPES!!!!!!!............. thats it.........
great choice=) in germany the color is called Silbergrau metallic (silver gray), probably the same color you had! best color there is for 3series convertibles!
Good God!!! Now that's a car Dodge can be proud off!!!
@KKM13200
Correct. Allows you to run a smaller turbo (relative to the boost needed per cylinder) and puts less stress on the turbo's. Only downside is you'll need 2x the room and have to deal with two turbo's, piping and oiling systems. But I think its a much better system for V type engines.
Seeing that car take off reminded me of "Back to The Future."
He's not bracket racing, just going for an ET. In the 8's just f'ing insane!
Wow that's awesome! All sleeper! Great build!
How bad ass is your car that no matter how good you are at shifting gears, the car wants to lose it's ass cuz there's soooooo much power? Dude, Sick Viper bro.
a 6 year old video with better quality than most car videos that are 1 week old.
Pretty nice video. It's amazing how at that speed & power, it's a struggle just to keep the car going straight!
This car is just nasty lol!! Sounds like a lightening strike when it takes off lol!!
He's getting a work out trying to keep that thing in a straight line lol awesome
"Looking for a qualified driver. Must be dependable, experienced, and a fucking pilot."
@JeepMan19007 As for the heads, ORECA was making 740hp on "small valve" heads on pump gas in the late 90s. Again, in a turbo build, valve and port SIZE takes a back seat to SHAPE and PLACEMENT.

i love hearing this take off.
You can tell he's having a hard as hell time controlling that beast, look at it drifting left to right lol
The Dodge Viper Twin Turbo did a 1/4 mile drag race on the drag strip during the Day and Night.
back in childs mine
when i was a child i like racing cars and others
OH MY GOD THAT IS BADASS!!!
This thing has so much fucking power that I wouldn't be surprised if the chassis is twisting slightly.
@Ghostt5786 Very true. its due to un-equal length axles used in front wheel drives. What you see in this vid is the effect of having massive power and front wheels that are barely touching the ground.

dang you have one heck of a drive train if you can launch like that! Holy Crap!
I could not drive that car! Those shifts are scary as hell!
The Dodge Viper.
Separating the men from the rich pretty boys since 1992.
When running strictly for time, reaction time doesn't matter since the timer won't start until the front tire breaks the timing beam. Reaction time only matter when someone is in the other lane.
Sir, I remove my hat to you. That is a fantastic street car!
@KKM13200 because its a V10 engine. and the V layout its better to run one turbo per cylinder bank side. Helps the exhaust flow from the manifold to the turbochargers making it spool quicker.
At 1:43, if you pause it, you can see the reflection of his tailights, that's the dew and condensation on the track, the humidity is terrible there in the evening in florida
1700hp and stick shift. Perfection.
Did anyone else hear the explosion sounding like a Nasa rocket.. at his launch ;D love it ;D
Yep that's correct, it's from the friggin frame, suspension, etc twisting from all the torque.
Hoooooly crap. That thing is ridiculous. I have a stock '08 Viper. 600 hp and the crank is more than enough for me. 1700 is just a deathwish lol NICE
I put a Turbo on my '96 Firebird; not sure what it was dishing out, but I can't keep that even close to straight, it was always from take off, drifting to the side; I'm actually surprised he did so good putting Twin Turbo on a Viper! lol
NOW THAT IS WHAT AN ENGINE SHOULD SOUND LIKE!!!!
That thing is a beast !
Controling that beast with one hand!? Me gusta
This car, while wicked, is similar to how a 2 stroke accelerates, don't believe it. Ride a perfectly tuned Rg 500 or even a tight, chambered RZ 350. The power to weight is phenominally close to this. All with pistons the size of small beer cans. Neat car, you can tell the driver struggles to control the wheel. Cool!!
What a monster, he can not even stay in a straight line.
2:03 BEST ENGINE SOUND EVER, BEST TURBO SOUND EVER
@carrick166 yes i understand how bracket racing works. when trying to run a quick e.t. when not in the actual race, drivers will wait till after light is green, this helps with getting the quickest e.t possible. i do understand when in the actual race, you want to put together the best package possible with your reaction time and e.t. together. like you said you can run off of your dial in but with a better reaction time than the opponent you can still win race with a better package
That is one nasty viper. I think I might actually be scared to full throttle that car.
To all the honda civic fanboys out there who say "My civic can beat that and . . . yadda yadda yadda . . ." You may have a badass civic, fast as hell, lots of work, time, and sweat in it.

Damn...That's one mean ass viper!!!
It spun the wheels the lenght of the track & still managed a 8.9 @161mph. On a stock T56. Impressive.
God that diff CLUNKED big time. I bet they replace that rear end once every 5 or 10 passes lol.
It's soooo fast that its speedometer couldn't catch up with its speed! :o
I would come in me pants 10 times just from reving that beast i luv how it growls and shake omg that is insane
Never gets old.
@954rr21 His reaction time is like that because he needs to build boost for the turbo, thats why he revs it when the light turns green and he just sits there

THIS THING PUNCHES LIKE 10 MACK TRUCKS BEING PUSHED BY THE TITANIC..AWSOME GEAR CHANGES
he ran 8.9 in the 1/4 and he hesitated for about a second, thats fast as hell, dam
