1500hp? Weak

I want that sound to play every time my computer does anything. Then when a shitty email comes in from my boss, at least it will sound sweet.

Nice and roaring.

Yikes!

I'd want more straps on the back if I was in that thing.

I wonder if the owner uses it solely for drag racing or actually drives it on the street. I recall seeing that a lot of the faster Viper racers ditched the 6 speed manual for a 3 speed auto. Also, what octane do they need to run to get 1500hp? And does anyone know at what 1/4 time the NHRA requires a chute? That'd give a good estimate of how fast the car'll run.

@beta.rogan: Yeah that's a scary beast to dyno. I would strap it down with king kong chains.

I believe All cars that go over 150 mph in the quarter mile are required to have AND USE a chute. Dual chutes are REQUIRED for any vehicle over 200 mph.

Geez, they had tie-down at the door frame, too.

I guess considering how many other cars were in the garage & parked pretty close, that's a good idea.

The reason you don't see any readily available information about this on ViperAlley is because this is from over a year ago, and because Garth has since put the car up for sale (IIRC ~$150kish). For those of you who are curious, the car holds an unofficial record of fastest 6 speed IRS street car with 7.98@183mph driven by Kevin of UGR. Yes it still uses the Tremec T56, it's not a dogbox.

Garth never piloted the car to anything near those speeds, nor were the times backed up. Hopefully a new owner will solidify the number the car first put down.

I still like this one better...

+ Watch video

I saw a video of an uber-GNX that blew the dyno. That was awesome.

That sound coming from Hulk Hogan's garage is 100% opposite from the kind of sounds that come from his kid's mouth.

Interesting dyno run (and 1/4 mile time if accurate). I bet this thing can do a zero to upside down in a ditch backwards with a door ripped off and bursting into flames in under 3 seconds flat. Perfect for a novice driver with rich parents.

Sorry for the rant. Too many sons of riches destroying good performance cars in FL lately. I need a drink.

@ØmÆgä ßrÅff:

Hey Fatt Braff, What car is that? The profile looks like a 280Z?

Or a Jensen? But yeah, sounds sweet.

The 2 guys sitting on the engine while Dyno? Super Retardo!

I don't know where the viper was filmed but that's a veritable snake pit of 'em.

Danger, danger, danger!

the licence plate says "hiboost"...but to drive it yo need "bigba11s"...

@CARBONFIBER: That would be the Darius 240Z--Google it if you dont know the car, it has recently been completed I believe.

It know has a custom body kit on there and looks a lot different. Under the hood is a supercharged LS(?) motor...
