    I dont have 3.07 in mine, 3.55 here works great with my 14 second ride. You have to remember vipers make over 400 wheel torgue off idle. The torgue helps just ask reuiner with the twin turbo porsche.

    You did? It seemed rather even if you ask me. The problem that I have is that he would always get the jump. There wasn't much I could do about that.

    Instant torque (400tq at idle, no less) > turbo lag, no matter how slight it may be.

    The one time that I did jump a split second early (in order to make us both take off at the same time) ended up with it being rather dead-even and very close. I'm not sure else that you would want to know. My car traps in the 115s stock and I only have mild exhaust work (missing 2 out of the 4 cats). That's it. The heavy 19" wheels don't help, either. His traps 118mph stock. What did you expect to happen? 450hp/490tq vs 415hp/415tq + mild exhaust work. I was actually surprised (impressed) that it was as close as it was.

    If you don't have thing else to do toinght, and you're in the Barrett pky area you should meet up with the rest of the faster cars that are meeting up. I'll be out getting video of the runs and what not, and it'd be nice to get a 911 Turbo on video.

    PM if your interested.

    Sorry, I'd rather not have my car on video doing any "runs". When you have "RUINER" on your tag, it's pretty easy to pick that out. I might come out for "what not", but no runs; especially in that area.

    I have never raced a GTS Viper and from reading this post this guy can drive the car right. I wouldnt mind lining up with the GTS for a fun run, just to see what my Z can do. Smackdown would you be up to that?

    Yeah, he can drive very well. The car is fast and the torque is instant.

    Fun runs > all

    That is where the good times roll, win or lose.

    Why all of the trash talking?

    I will say this, I do believe that Marshall is faster than me on all-motor. We've never run, but he should be faster than me. I was basically dead-even with the Viper GTS.

    Who knows.
