Well Aaron and just finished making some small changes for me on my TT ACR they did, Billet intake manifold among other things. To say that the elements were stacked against us would be fair lol. 6200 feet of elevation, 9500+ DA and driving into a 40+ mph headwind! We went with intentions of having fun and enjoying a great venue/city, which is exactly what happened. The first day we struggled most of the day, with what ended up being a bad plug wire. There was a gentlemen there that was nice enough to loan me his coils and plug wires Sunday. That solved all of our issues and the very first hit we went 210mph, I was excited, the car felt amazing! We ended up going 200 as a shake down pass, 210, 212, 214 all within just a couple of hours and all into a seriously wicked headwind. But we loaded the car up after that and headed back to Texas, no failures and she's healthy!

I'm really looking forward to seeing what this thing can do now in some good air at sea level or better, I think we have a real world shot at 220+mph in the half mile, which I'd be super impressed with. I spend a bunch off time in this car on the street, drive it often and race it constantly! Being apart of this team and this community the last 2 years has been awesome, watching Viper owners helping each other out was one of my highlights of the weekend. Big thanks to Aaron, Aaron, Kevin, BJ, and everyone along the way that helped this weekend! We did ended up leaving with the fastest 6spd passes of the event, thats always satisfying!

On to the pics.

Your car is absolutely badass. That new intake is sweet. After having Aaron turn my car into a twin turbo monster, I am blown away by the amount of power and still have a car that is just an absolute pleasure to drive. I hope to see you at one of the upcoming 1/2 mile events.

Nice results!

Custom intake manifold net any additional power? Suspension looks a lot more level at speed. What modifications were done?

That setup is stunning. The machining and fit/finish looks nicer than even OEM manufacturers could produce. If I were to have a TT high HP viper Nth seems like they should be at the top of the list.

Will your car is awesome and credit to Nth for the build. Always enjoy seeing what you're up to.

Just curious if you've ever experimented with removing the hood vents and wheel vents to possibly reduce drag and lift on the front?

Woundwr what it would do without the aero drag.. ever consuder taking the wing iff?

Interesting approach with the end plates off the wing. Did you notice a significant decrease in rear down force? Looks like a lot less squat than the 215 pass at Texas, assuming the recent photos are of the car at speed. Nice job!

Thank you, love seeing pics of this car after events. The back drop here was breathtaking

We made suspension changes as well

Its not that simple, the car is setup around the aero so a lot of changes would have to be made.

Yes, intake made more power.

I was always wow'd by the same thing, how Aaron does it I'll never understand. But this thing makes over 1800whp and drives amazing.

Yes, everyone needs one!

Made small changes throughout the car


That is pretty damn impressive! Wow!

Thank you.

I Also have the same doubt. Will the hood vents on our cars have a negative effect on drag? Or will it even helps on cooling the engine?

The vent is over the wheelwell area, not the engine bay, and does not seem to have any noticeable effect on engine coolant temperatures.

I’m refering to the ones on the hood on the acr and srt hoods. There are 6 hood vents on top of the engine bay. The acr has additional ones on top of the tires but I’m not refering to those.

At some point don't you need to be concerned with a failure of one or more of the following; wing, rear suspension, rear wheels, tires, frame mounting, fasteners etc?

With downforce increasing significantly over the car's original 177mph top speed there must be a limit to the weight these components can bear...

Potentially 220+ in the half, with the down force of a boat … my jaw has dropped, disjointed, detached and now on the ground. Just wicked.

Something I’ve wondered a lot about. I’m surprised the rear deck lid hasn’t failed already. Actually impressive.

It hasn't failed on a pressure aspect, but it is trying to pull itself off the back of the car. The decklid continually slides back further, but this car goes over 180 MPH a ton. Like, several times a week typically.
