Thought you guys that couldn't make the event would like to see some of the highlights. I tried to splice together the footage I had best I could. Nth, VE, Calvo, Prospeed, and Dynosaur are all in the mix. Enjoy :icon_devil:

Those were great runs by all. Thanks for sharing Alex. The rest of us can live vicariously :)

[viperBase1]

INTENSE!

Definitely some driving skills on those starts. :cool:

How many other stock production cars come close to those numbers?

[Simms]

Very cool. Reminds me of the old V10 Nationals days.

[Ripper]

Just Amazing !! Great thread Alex

Congrats to all !

[v10tt]

Did anybody see the Red Charger Hell Cat?, Damn! sounded quiet and ripped 9.7s at 142++

[FLATOUT]

Awesome video Alex. I know that takes a lot of time to put something like that together, and you did a great job of getting mods, weights, and times listed.

Very well done.

Thanks for putting this video together. Bummed to have missed the event, but looks like everyone had a blast. Awesome to see so many Vipers racing at a single event! Congrats to all the winners.

[ACR]

What did Calvo, Nth, Prospeed bring and their times? What mods were on the fastest cars in each class?

Literally everything you asked for is in the first post along with the video.

To add to this here are some photos from the event. I was in Viper heaven all day. So many different setups, new and old friends alike, 'twas a great day.

Will's TT Nthmoto built ACR-E. Stock motor and trans, 1200whp on pump, just all around nasty.

Shakedown passes yielded consistent 9.70-9.80s, the rev limiter was bumped up to 6600 as they dialed the car in over the course of the day and the traps went up to 141 in even poorer DA.

Tim's new paint to sample GTC coupe. What a beautiful example. Note the ACR wheels and carbon brakes, tractive DSC suspension and full carbon interior/exterior packages as well. Gorgeous.

Ellie's beautiful comp blue coupe. HHP built, Greg Good's heads/cam setup, some meth, and a compression bump. Made 750whp/655wtq. Car was full weight and running dead consistent 10.0s @ 141. Tall first gear and a 28" tire was keeping him out of the 9s.

Calvo Motorsports red coupe ready to take on Will's TT ACR-E monstrosity. Red coupe had a headgames ported heads/cam package, PPG sequential trans, and some light weight reduction. Stock clutch was keeping this car out of the 9s as well. Ran a best of 10.1@143mph

The absolute greatest part of the weekend was being able to hang out with Dick Winkles who drove the VE mule car down from Detroit for the event. Picking the man's brain who designed and tuned the viper's powertrain and was involved in the project since 1989 was almost unreal. He also added a solid 50hp to my car.

Jake's Nth moto built TA 2.0. Built motor, TT, th400 trans, (1500hp+). Car was in the solid 8s all day finishing off by setting the gen 5 record at 8.25@180mph.

Great summary Alex!

[Murpowa]

The sound of Viper Exchange's white 9.0L H/C, Calvo's red H/C and Greg Good's blue H/C....good lawd!

:dropdev:

[plumcrazy]

good stuff

[ACRSNK]

Love the silver TT Nth ACR!!!

[Whitemamba]

Wow! Some beautiful powerful cars there. That Plum Crazy GTC is a gorgeous car.

[WDW MKR]

Thanks for sharing a great video! That F1X car was one of my favorites. Any idea on how much spray?

[Vipes]

Daayum :dropdev:

[Racer_X]

Hey Sneaky... thanks for the video... man, you have single handedly kept me in the Viper game... I definitely have to get that arrow 9.0L set up... I bet that thing is just rip roaring fun...

[witz323]

Awesome video, and the photos were killer too. Thanks for posting. Cool to see some of the more wild setups.

[Jack B]

What is interesting, most of these cars are easily driven on the street. Who could believe we now have a streetable NA car that can possibly turn mid 9's.

[Arizona Vipers]

The red naturally aspirated Calvo car ran 143mph. This is my car and what makes that more amazing is this car is set up 100% for road racing.
Ultra stiff 900/lb springs, TA 2.0 front aero, 335 front tires which are basically two 14" wide parachutes at the front, and the car was on Hoosier R7's with 22 heat cycles, like driving on Crisco. LOL.

[FLATOUT]

Considering the DA I would say that the 9.0L Auto car would run 9.3's-9.4's in even decent air. The auto eats some power, and the trans and rear end ratios were all setup for street driving. There is a lot left in that car the way it sat that day. I'll go on record saying that a Viper "Drag Pack" type build with that combo, with a big stall or trans brake, different 1/2/3/4 gearing, 3.73's, no carpet, totally stripped out full on drag Viper would go high 8's in the 1/4 NA and would be a package that would require very little maintenance.

Might have to start looking for a miled up buy back Viper to do this with hmmmmmmm...........

[FLATOUT]

Cable it was great seeing your car out there, I know how much time you have spent getting that thing setup, and getting the weight down where you want it. You know that I appreciate that stuff lol. Great looking car.

Nice runs and nice looking car. What type of 60' times were you getting. Last question, what first gear ratio does the sequential have?
