Street Dodge Viper twin turbo 1700hp drag race.

[@StaelTek]

i saw this video 6 years ago, when it had like 5000 views. my childhood xD

[@josephpa05]

Lol this is my first liked vid

[@jackdenihan5171]

Same for me! Always have loved vipers.

[@proctortoad]

+DeadNullermand same man!

[@the-stig-nickname]

+DeadNullermand This and the M3 CSL Top Speed video were the first car videos I saw on KZbin.

[@StaelTek]

@@the-stig-nickname i still watch the M3 video as well.

[@metalsystem761]

Back in the days of watching Streetfire videos

[@smoothhoopinal]

And 14 years later, this video is still tough

[@justinsimpson2335]

I can't get enough of this! Been watching it for a long time!

[@bud385]

***** that is ONE FAST VIPER!!!!!!!

[@edwardgranillo1815]

since like 2008 for me lol

[@boostlogicgodzilla2415]

10 years of this video , those are the first videos i have seen on youtube

[@winterstellar]

That take-off at 1.30 looks almost surreal! And the sound is beautiful! Man, I'd love to have a car like that.

[@ssoffshore5111]

UGR had the first TT Viper in the 7's... 3800 lbs with driver, T-56, and IRS. This was also in 2006!

[@mikejens2271]

I remember sitting in hs blasting this video in class lmao

[@danielcoleman5330]

Nice vid. I dont know about 1700 horse, but yeah shes packing some heat big time.

[@kroyjr1982]

I remember watching this video back in 2008. Still holds up, I wonder where this car is now

[@gigalata]

still watching this in video 2014 : )

[@harrycallahan9143]

2:02 Is that a bomb that's just gone off? oh no its a twin turbo Viper...my mistake.

[@bluewind12345]

1:36 even the camera zoom couldn't keep up! A REAL BEAST

[@turdshack4228]

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 KZbin didn’t have that then.

[@dobbins2550]

Guys, Vipers have run deep, deep 7s, lol, this is old news.

[@sarmatiancougar7556]

How on earth did you get the rumbling sound? Or is it the car behind you?

[@christianfrazier6202]

That sound just snakes me smile...I love that engine! 😯😮

[@vertec96]

Wow. I cant imagine jumping with that kind of torque! Great job keeping it strait.

[@chefo280]

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

[@BigKandRtv]

It’s really cool to hear the tires ripple when the clutch is dropped.

[@billiondollardan]

@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.

[@coltwyndham]

Whether or not he is the fastest or best driver, this is literally one of my all time favorite youtube car vids.

[@Noobie250r]

The launch is sounds like the pistol of a horse race...this thing is fucking scary. ..love this shit

[@jellykelly696]

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.

[@bandit4423]

@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.

[@brnmcc01]

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.

[@toyoracing89]

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.

[@TriforceOfCourage97]

Damn, 12 years ago. Thought I lost it.

[@nemis1320]

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

[@nicknamehere2024]

I like this video! Great old Viper and fine tuned twin-turbo engine, it's really cool..)))

[@pali1H]

I can't even imagine the stress it puts on that drivetrain with launches that hook like that!

[@XV3LimpiadorXV3]

This was one of the first " cool car vids " uploaded onto KZbin since it's creation, cheers.

[@ghettoflyer]

@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

[@dodge69874]

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.

[@NimrodAUS]

You Know when the fuel pump is as loud as the engine you are gunna have some power lol

[@brnmcc01]

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

[@TheLordMaximo]

can only say: TREMMEC, the only transmission capable to manager so much torque!

[@savagesanity]

Sounds like it broke the damn sound barrier when it took off. Sick.

[@Cheifslappuho12]

I love the sound it makes when it takes off... Sounds like a bomb goes off

[@hemiluver]

@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

[@MikeOxImpressive]

Absolutely beautiful, a true masterpiece of machinery.

[@ZX6R2KGT]

@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".

[@billiondollardan]

@YeeSoest hey what color did you choose for your bimmer? I had an arctic silver 750i a few years ago and I loved it! One of my favorite auto makers is BMW

[@no_bull]

@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.

[@techmaven5900]

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.

[@billiondollardan]

@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

[@spudgunsta]

what kind of engine is in this car? did they get all that power from the 8.4L V10? Transmission must be different too, right? Is it running on pump gas?

[@xxSOBADITSGOODxx]

props to the driver. no wheelspin with that much tp and tourqe is impressive

[@GuitarnScythes]

@attactedbywtf first of all, the car is full weight (for a gen2 viper that's around 3200lbs), it has a 6-speed rather than a powerglide so mid 8's are right on the money. Besides, if you push the viper's v10 over 2000hp and put an automatic transmission in there you will get very close to running 6's

[@TommYBlack2015]

omg! All Dodge Viper twin turbo videos that I watch are ridiculously crazy! :D

[@MichaelMassimino]

That ride looks absolutely terrifying, zig zagging down the strip at 160 MPH

[@MANYYEARSPOL]

damn!!!there was a kick from god there at the acceleration seriously!!this this is a beast!!

[@CrackMania200]

That viper is ridiculous. Nice job

[@auzzyb85]

@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

[@sfflyer123]

Pretty nice video. It's amazing how at that speed & power, it's a struggle just to keep the car going straight!

[@rlk7433]

What brakes are you using? when you were stopping it sounded like the brakes were getting destroyed.

[@ruthlessone3k]

@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.

[@pinkbetula]

@djsynthetix You are correct. Its not a civic. What tipped you off?

[@lamboroghini]

duuude, if this was HD and in fulscreen with surround sound....... ORGASMIC :)

[@YeeSoest]

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!

[@allinkthx]

@tigertic1 sure if you try to drag strip a GT-R it might not seem to be exciting or fast but the car was meant to go around a track fast... the fact it can put up a respectable 1/4 mile time is icing on the cake. Looking up Nürburgring lap times it's obvious this car was made well for what it was intended to do: beat the Porsche 911 turbo around the best race track in the world and they did.

[@brnmcc01]

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

[@zeppelin67637]

He's getting a work out trying to keep that thing in a straight line lol awesome

[@Super98mustang]

@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

[@thestubs3432]

IN MY CHILDHOOD, I WANTED TO "OWN" A VIPER GTS!!!!! BLUE/WHITE STRIPES!!!!!!!............. thats it.........

[@omgftwlol]

Seeing that car take off reminded me of "Back to The Future."

[@lohalloran2]

What kind of tires and clutch was he running on that? I built one of the first twin turbo LS1 camaros and I'm going to build a twin turbo viper in the next couple years.

[@mursare]

Only one word sums that up...BADASS!!

[@TheSkinon]

1700hp and stick shift. Perfection.

[@Ihavetopushmycar]

How do you keep that car from taking off and how the hell did you manage to compensate for all that torque steer?

[@bluesvt]

@iPROFITDON Also on the dyno it hit the 1500 mark and that's as high as the dyno went. How would that make it only 1200 hp? Where did you get your info?

[@HFLanciaStratos]

This thing has so much fucking power that I wouldn't be surprised if the chassis is twisting slightly.

[@projecktchaos]

Wow that's awesome! All sleeper! Great build!

[@TheFlacker99]

Finally someone with some brains!!!! Yea everone thinks a honda can beat this, no a honda- looking body with a racing engine can

[@edsigmul]

Driver leaving late only affects RT and not ET. The ET clocks starts when the light beam is unbroken and not when the tree goes green.

[@ghettoflyer]

@TheTNSmw2 I agree with you that the usual weak point for the 4g63 drive train is the clutch and pressure plate and I know it easily interchanges with the GT3000. But I also know alot of guys end up spending 40k to 60K (easy) on their turbo 4 cylinders if they want to race them as hard as Shepard consistently. My point being 60k for a motor plus development and research and parts for drivetrain and chassis refinements your in the 80k to 100k real fast... They cost the same amount to build.

[@deanml116]

You can tell he's having a hard as hell time controlling that beast, look at it drifting left to right lol

[@willm7926]

damn that thing is all over the place

[@iPROFITDON]

@lamborghinimeany You're 100% correct. But once again, what does the Alpha 12 have to do with anything?

[@trevormandra1402]

dang you have one heck of a drive train if you can launch like that! Holy Crap!

[@Deathbycummins]

The point of him NOT going on green is to build boost and not rush things. Even if he goes 2 seconds after the green light its not going to affect his 1/4 mile time! from the green light to when the tire moves is his reation time r/t, from the tire moving off the line to when it crosses the finish is his 1/4 mile time. He's not there to see what his reaction time is he is there to see what he can get in the 1/4 mile.

[@BloodstainedSinner]

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.

[@n0f3aR629]

The top speed is given by the gearbox, flywheel etc. With this question of yours you are very smart!

[@MrUltraworld]

It spun the wheels the lenght of the track & still managed a 8.9 @161mph. On a stock T56. Impressive.

[@josephflores1091]

OH MY GOD THAT IS BADASS!!!

[@brnmcc01]

Yep that's correct, it's from the friggin frame, suspension, etc twisting from all the torque.

[@Deathbycummins]

Only thing the light does is gauge your reaction time you could sit there for 10 seconds your 1/4 mile time will still be the same. If you dont believe me look at his first time slip his reaction time was (r/t 1.66) witch means it took 1.66 seconds from light turning green for him to start moving, but his 60 foot was 1.422 meaning it took him 1.422 seconds from when he started moving to go 60 feet and 8.902 seconds to go 1/4 mile. GET IT?

[@Fmily]

Great but What is the mpg?

[@MrAviator81]

Good God!!! Now that's a car Dodge can be proud off!!!

[@jameelbautil4332]

back in childs mine when i was a child i like racing cars and others

[@MiroslavBrontvaj]

2:03 BEST ENGINE SOUND EVER, BEST TURBO SOUND EVER

[@Ternadil]

Not only to front wheel cars. There is torque steering in rear wheel cars too

[@DragRaceVideos]

a 6 year old video with better quality than most car videos that are 1 week old.

[@tcswag801]

That thing is a beast !

[@DOMO_ATL]

i love hearing this take off.

[@hemiluver]

Notice his time slip he sets there over a second after the green-R/T.But then he leaves and still runs a 8.902. Time starts when you trip the beam not the when it turns green.

[@stigbeve]

He's not bracket racing, just going for an ET. In the 8's just f'ing insane!

[@warthog1590]

@iBillyboblXl he's not racing anyone, the time starts as soon as he crosses the line. so it doesn't matter how long the light was green for.

[@airio5180]

This car is just nasty lol!! Sounds like a lightening strike when it takes off lol!!

[@JasonX2]

Did a bomb go off when he hit the accelerator?

[@yesop03]

How short are the throws on that thing? It looks like his hand barely moved,

[@practicelogos53teamer]

Never gets old.
