On 3/8/19 our customer Jake decided to take his Nth Moto Twin Turbo 2016 Viper TA2.0 down to Orlando Speed World to do some drag racing. The goal was to reset his own record as the current quickest Gen V Viper at 8.25 @ 180 mph, with intent of trying to break into the elusive 7 second zone. The catch? This is a full interior, all amenities, no weight reduction car runnning on 18" HRE wheels front and back no less. A true street car with unassuming looks and nature that is just as content driving to dinner as it is blasting down the drag strip.
The weather was fair and we had all day to make it happen - the car was running on One Ethanol fuel and was unloaded and warmed up, with only an adjustment to tire pressure made before heading up for a first test pass. The car launched smoothly and Jake ran it through first and part of second gear to get a feel for the car and the track surface. With the data looking good and the track feeling solid he lined up again and gently staged the car against the trans brake... with a smooth, but blazingly quick 60' of 1.281 seconds (0-60mph in only 1.77 seconds for reference) the car nonchalantly ran 7.88 @ 180 mph! Both a new World Record and the first ever Gen V to run a 7 second quarter mile.
With that single pass, the car was taken down to Ft. Myers to cruise around for a few days before making the trek over to Texas a few days later to partake in the events at TX2K19, where the car continued to run flawlessly and show a lot of fast cars it's taillights.
Enjoy this video and take pride in the Gen V Viper being one of the baddest performance platforms ever. Period.
