Fastest top speed any distance

[DEMO MAN]

Does anyone have any verifiable information on the fastest top speed for any Gen Viper with any modifications in any distance from whatever to the salt flats? I've heard 242 MPH was the fastest any Viper has ever gone but couldn't find any proof of it and haven't heard of any speed faster than that. Please let me know what you guys have seen or heard. Thanks,

Haha, my buddy has that knob in his pro-touring 68 Camaro.

Need to move it to 5th vs 6th haha, Vipers fall on their face in 6th.

Not if you pull the tranny and ship it up to John Donato assuming he is still in business. He can ball peen the parts; turn it into a true six speed; and, eliminate most of the ngr. I had it done to my former supercharged Gen III. John did a fabulous job. It is a must if you are doing standing mile events since with the OEM six speed with overdrive, the lower overdrive RPMs cause the car to start to crap out at 165 MPH and creeps up from there. With the conversion, you pick up some significant speed.

I am running a very modified T56 with some special 5th/6th gear ratios to close up that big spread on stock transmissions. I finished that run in 6th gear and although we had issues they weren't related to the transmission. The car is gear capable of mid 270s and we expected a bigger number then the 252 but other issues kept us from getting there. I was looking for a mid 260s speed and felt that I could have done that if everything had worked as planned like that ever happens. It's not suppose to be easy I suppose so back to work to fix that issue and see what comes next.

I bought one of these for my Sons 1ltr Kia daily driver

[Murpowa]

Junkie and his nth moto ACR has to be up there near the top imo. 222 mph in a 1/2 mile shootout

[Ninjakris]

Well, Sal in his Gen 2 has the standing 1/2 mile record at 240'ish for a viper and possibly RWD. I'd like to know if anyone has gone faster as well.

I remember watching Sal make that run, cant remember his exact speed thou. Have to look it up

I believe that run was 237 you’re talking about, haven’t heard of anyone going faster than that in a viper, any distance...

I've done 235 plus MPH but it was in 2.3 miles, I hope to break 250 sometime this year. I cant imagine doing that in a half mile, that's serious

235 is intense! 250 would most likely take home the viper record but would have to confirm. Where are you going to try this at?

[GTS Dean]

The Canaska-Southwind GTS-R clocked 242 down the Mulsanne straight at LeMans in 1996. That was running a GT-1 spec Caldwell engine.

Can you explain the engine in more detail, was it a modified Viper V10, sorry I'm just not familiar with it and this sounds like the 242 MPH number I have heard about

On the space shuttle runway, that's where I did the 235, at 2.3 miles I have a little less than a mile to stop it. Its smoothest exterior concrete surface in the world which helps a lot

[johnharry]

206 mph is the fast speed for Gen Viper

What about this thing that was in the Connor Avenue plant? Surely someone has done land speed racing in a Viper before...

[DEMO MAN]

Any close up of the plaque that's in front of it, that Viper looks like it would cut the air really well

[Mr. Acoustics]

Sal did 244 in a 1/2 mile event.

That's impressive and in a half mile, well I dont see me doing that but I guess my goal is 245 MPH in the 2 plus mile run

I think the fastest Viper ever was a Gen 2 car that was painted blue with the American flag painted on top. I want to say Mike aka 98 RT/10 owned it after it ran 250+ in the salt flats. It has been a really long time so I am not 100% sure on the details but I am almost positive it went over 250.

That was SVS inc. vehicle.

Ron Misjak Sr and Ron Jr built their SVSi Twin Turbo Stryker based on a Gen II GTS...it was fast and quick per a friend who took a ride in it about 1999 or 2000. It had a very impressive, distinctive paint job.

The target top speed was 300 mph...though they fell a little short ( by 53 mph) last I heard....BUT, 247 mph is a real accomplishment in my opinion...especially at that time.
