240 vs 04 Viper

[Nyteryder]

I had just got to barrett pkwy to hang out when a red 04 viper rolls up looking for a white supra to run, he was not around so I decided to run him on the hwy. We had to run 3-4times from about 45mph to 130mph. First run we went on a 3 honk but it look like he had a slow reaction but thats not my fault, I beat him by about 5 cars but I dont know when he shout it down. The 2nd and 3rd runs I won by about 3 cars. The last run I mishifted bad going into my 4th gear, grinding the hell out of my gears, but still beat him by a car. When we got off the hwy and my tranny took a shit big time, had to tow the car back to gwinnett. Oh well, shit happens time for it to go back under the knife. Videos where taken they should hopefully be up tomorrow.

[PhAtBoYMr2]

damn homie least you won the race. You think you can hang with the mr2?

[Jon00]

damn man good kill sucks about your tranny

btw sorry i didnt make it out the woman was bitching

[WINDSOR]

I for one can't understand how these guys with 04 and 05 vipers are losing to much slower cars. I mean Motor trend got an 11.7@124 out of a 2004 srt-10 viper. I know this 240 is quick but i know its nowhere near that kind of power. I guess we can chalk it up to bad drivers. Nice kill though...lets see those vids.

[Ran]

I guess we can chalk it up to bad drivers.

I think the blue dealer tag is what slowed the Viper down.

like i said las week dood, the imports are taking over. lol!!!

[AnclyT]

i was there,
awesome kills

[Genya]

Yeah, that was a fun time, sorry to hear about the car. Im ready for the vids as well Dude couldnt shift well at all. He had a slow shift during our run, but he wasnt pulling before the shift anyway.

[DrivenMind]

I was riding shot gun in the Viper and filming from that car. The 240 and the STi are undoubtedly faster cars, but after seeing the time lost in between shifts in the Viper I can honestly say that it would hold up much better if the driver was able to shift faster. I even felt the throw in the shifters and it reminded me of a Celica GT-S transmission, 2nd to 3rd is a very hard "up, right and up". Not to mention the guy driving the Viper was pretty nervous about racing... give him a few weeks or so to get used to pushing that monster of his, and he'll give you a run a little more in line with the performance of his car. My guesstimate would be that off the honk he'll get 1/2 a car from a 50 mph roll assuming he starts in second and not first like he did the other times (I told him to start in 2nd on the last race which kept him a little closer) I'd guess that as the speeds built you'd probably pull 2 cars quickly as boost builds and as he shifts into 3rd you'd probably get another 2 cars. Good runs, the 240s most definitely quicker, but I'm curious to see an accurate depiction of how much quicker with a more experienced/relaxed driver behind the wheel of the Viper. Although I was pleasantly surprised as to what a genuinely nice guy/ not cocky about his car he was. I hope we see him around more often.

Oh and Jer, on the video, your reverse lights came on as you shifted, during your final run with the Viper... don't know if that has anything to do with the tranny grenading on you, but it definitely caught my attention during the run.

Edit: I just got home ( I didn't go to South Carolina :*( ) so give me a few hours to get the videos up.

[TranceDJ06]

nice story

[Genya]

The Viper guy was definately one of the nicer guys Ive met. I thought it was pretty cool of him to hang out. Nice meeting you as well Est.

[KevinT707]

I was out last night also & also blew my tranny, it's sitting in the back of a gas station just chillin for now. Was nice meeting Genya, AnclyT & Ran Kizama last night. Definitely a fun night

[TranceDJ06]

..damn that sucks man.^^ How'd you blow your tranny?, were you pushin your car to its limits?, eh.

[SpoolBus]

I was waiting to get a few kills in myself and when the time came....we all merged onto the highway... booost! and pop my wastegate crapped the bed..did not want to kill the car w/like 40psi. so I missed all the action and couldn't even make a video w/all you guys...and take a few down myself but there will deff. be another time to shine....

ditto good sir. I hope we see more of the Viper guy, he was exceptionally polite for someone driving an $87,000 car amongst a group of $2200-$40,000 cars.

Welcome to IA Masta.

[Luv2spd]

He didn't say that shit. I was in the car with him the whole time. I also drove the car around for a couple of weeks. Don't get your feelings hurt too much that you gotta make up lies to compensate for how slow your shit is or how bad you drive (uh oh, I know your finger's DYING to hit the reply button now).

My feelings aren't hurt. I'm not the one who lost. No lies, nothing to compensate for. Look here Charles, you don't want to get into this with me. You can trust me on that. As far as making shit up, you were there. You should know I'm not. Quit trying to act like a big man because your posting for all your little buddies to read. Because you sure as hell are not. Yep, I did have a bad clutch and I still beat that car. What's your point? Yep, I'm just a magazine racer here to impress guys. Especially when very few even knew I was a girl. Because I've faithfully been with the same guy for 4 years. Sorry to hear that your last g/f didn't even claim to be with you, even after you broke up. And your damn right I'm going to reply. Because you talk to much shit. And when I say shit to you I mean lies. Grow up.

I'm waiting for you to go on and on about how Mr. Blah Blah and Blah Blah magazine says that T/A's, Vipers, or whatever runs x.xx ET.

Where did that come from? When me and someone else were comparing domestics and imports? Not my car and his. I never said my car was a 9 second car.

And you're another piece of shit girl who's on a high cause she thinks she drives a fast car. Go circle-jerk your domestic buddies off. By the way, what's your basis that I'm a ricer? Is it because I have flames on the front of my car? Oh wait... I don't drive a riced out T/A.

Ouch. :jerkit: Make fun of me because I'm a girl. Sweet, jackass. Sorry but I grew up around race cars. I don't think my car is fast. I know it is quick. What is your excuse? Oh right. You must be scared of a real car with real hp. The basis of being a ricer comes from you and everything you say and do. You have the ricer mentality. The "I'm better than you because I have a turbo from the factory" kind of shit. My car is far from riced out. They are called ghost flames not stickers.

I don't have my car to make other people think I'm cool. That's why I don't have anything to do with you. I don't care what others think. I have my car because that is what I wanted. It's your problem you don't consider me an enthusiast because you've never seen me run this car at the track. I've taken my others cars. But I guess that doesn't count.

Just because your buddies drive fast cars or cause you know someone who does, doesn't mean YOU do.

You're right. But what I've done to my car makes it fast.

But you... all you're good for is for someone to tape you falling off of a cliff on a mountain run and dying so we can post it on Compfused or Ebaums and have the world laugh at it.

And I tell you what... say that shit to me in person. That is the last thing I have to say to you until I see you out. Just say that shit to me in person. Fucking lowlife.

[ct9a gsr]

My feelings aren't hurt. I'm not the one who lost. No lies, nothing to compensate for.

Then stop making random shit up, plz.

Look here Charles, you don't want to get into this with me. You can trust me on that.

Why? I never intended to start shit, read my post originally, I even state that. However, you took it upon yourself to talk mad shit and start shit... so I'm deciding to correct your shit talk. Don't come on these forums trying to act all big and bad and shit and expect to stand uncorrected.

As far as making shit up, you were there. You should know I'm not.

Again, videos will be up later. It's Christmas Eve, I have work in 30min, and I have other things to attend to. Whenever I have time, they will be up.

Quit trying to act like a big man because your posting for all your little buddies to read. Because you sure as hell are not.

I posted so YOU could read. I don't care who else does. Just because other ppl post things against you doesn't mean I'm trying to get my cheerleaders to read this and support me. Is it suprising that I'm not the only one here who thinks you're a bloody idiot?

Yep, I did have a bad clutch and I still beat that car. What's your point?

YOU are the one that brought up the clutch issue, not me. I'm trying to find out YOUR point on why you even mentioned that? Maybe if you learned how to drive a manual correctly, the clutch issue wouldn't be a problem, eh?

Yep, I'm just a magazine racer here to impress guys.

+1

Especially when very few even knew I was a girl. Because I've faithfully been with the same guy for 4 years.

Good for you... however, since I'm strictly talking about cars here, I don't care.

Sorry to hear that your last g/f didn't even claim to be with you, even after you broke up.

You're getting desperate enough to talk shit that you're trying to dig up dirt on me? I don't know if I should be flattered or not. Again, I talk about cars, not your Jerry Springer drama shit that you seem to like.

And your damn right I'm going to reply. Because you talk to much shit.

Honestly, I rarely talk shit... however, after reading all the trash you've posted up in the past 24 hours, you deserve more shit than your average elephant poops a week.

And when I say shit to you I mean lies. Grow up.

That's what I've been saying... all the shit you say are lies.

Where did that come from? When me and someone else were comparing domestics and imports? Not my car and his.

I think what you fail to understand here is... when a lot of us talk on here, we're usually talking about the car we OWN and DRIVE... not one someone else does. That's where you're different... you love to talk about other people's cars but rarely your own.

I never said my car was a 9 second car.

You only implied it continuesly... but since you've admitted that it's not a 9 sec car... or a 10 sec... or anything reasonablely fast, stop trying to act like it is.

Ouch. :jerkit: Make fun of me because I'm a girl. Sweet, jackass.

I could care less if you're a guy or girl... I'll talk to you the same way. However, you're not the first one who's come on here with a quicker than average car who's a girl and has inflated their head and ego dramatically.

Sorry but I grew up around race cars.

That has no relevance to anything... except maybe that'd explain why you're such a fk'n idiot... been inhaling C16 fumes since birth?

I don't think my car is fast. I know it is quick.

According to the MANY post you've made, you think it's Adolf Hitler and import cars are all Jewish. If you truely don't think its fast, stop talking like you think it is.

What is your excuse? Oh right. You must be scared of a real car with real hp.

Maybe you didn't get the memo, but horsepower doesn't win races. I guess they didn't tell you that in the magazines, eh?

The basis of being a ricer comes from you and everything you say and do.

Again, plz give me any examples. The fact that I enjoy talking about auto mechanics in a technical sense? The fact that I involve myself in sanctioned motorsports events? The fact that I like to compete in heads-up racing? The fact that I try to help others with their cars, especially other Evo's? Or the fact that I correct ppl who try to talk mad shit on the forums and expect everyone will just eat it up?

You have the ricer mentality. The "I'm better than you because I have a turbo from the factory" kind of shit.

I never stated I was better than anyone... but obviously you seem to take it that way. What does having a turbo stock have to do with ANYTHING?

My car is far from riced out. They are called ghost flames not stickers.

My bad... "ghost flames" aren't rice... what was I thinking? Flame on!

I don't have my car to make other people think I'm cool. That's why I don't have anything to do with you.

You have nothing to do with me because I don't know who the hell you are besides seeing you a couple times on the streets. However, apparently, you seem to know a lot about me.

I don't care what others think. I have my car because that is what I wanted.

Obviously you do care or you wouldn't get so butt-hurt in the other posts. Its ok to care, its not ok to try to act cool like you don't.

It's your problem you don't consider me an enthusiast because you've never seen me run this car at the track. I've taken my others cars. But I guess that doesn't count.

So how many cars do you personally have your name on the title to? I'm talking strictly about you and your T/A... not anyone else's car. Most of us who post on here regularly attend the track, some even attend other types of tracks as well. You, however, seem to have absolutely nothing to prove any track experience... but you talk about ETs all day long for some reason.

You're right. But what I've done to my car makes it fast.

So what have you done, if you don't mind me asking? BTW, you JUST said that you don't think your car is fast... now you say it is. Which is it?

And I tell you what... say that shit to me in person. That is the last thing I have to say to you until I see you out. Just say that shit to me in person. Fucking lowlife.

What are you going to do, slap me for shit that's said on the internet? What are you, an e-thug now? Just because I wish you dead doesn't mean that I'm gonna start shit in person.

When I'm out at car meets, when I'm around cars, when I'm at car events, when I'm at the track, etc... my focus and attention is solely on CARS, believe it or not. So if you see me out on the streets, keep the talking strictly about cars. I don't need your drama injected into my automotive life.

Hey charles where is a time me and you can meet up? Just me and you none of your bullshit freinds wanna be race car driver freinds. You name the time and the place and I will be there.LET ME KNOW ASAP

My beef is not with you, its with your stupid girlfriend.

Time to work. Bai bai.

[Luv2spd]

LOL>>>:>> when this video comes up ... I'm sure luv2speed's e-ego will be GONE... lol videos dont lie.... lets restate the facts that she claimed so we dont have room for:
oh yeah my new 9 second setup wasn't in yet.
I wasn't racing.
My clutch was slipping
There was traffic
My leg hurted
Aids
I dropped late.
I missed a shift..

the list goes on and on.

You are right. Video doesn't lie. Let's see it. I'm not scared to be proven wrong. My clutch was sticking and I still beat him. That is not an excuse as to why I lost because I didn't. Let's just wait and see. And once again, I never said I had the 9 second car.

well even he admitted you won... its how bad you won, that you stated... he said barely, where you said you blew him... or said something along the lines of you weren't racing... dont make me pull up exact posts cuz i dont want to...but even if that wasn't said verbatim, it was implied... either way... we'll see the vid.

damn...too bad I don't own stock in garrett ....nyteryder is gonna have every non-drifter sr owner buying 2871's......hopefully I'll be out to play with yall in a couple weeks....I have an S13 coupe that will be using 850cc injectors, z32 maf, topspeed intake, megan exhaust manny, and a pe1420 turbo (until I decide which topmount I'm going with)....should make about 300whp.

Thats funny, you are sr right, you should try the enjuku t3 kit I had it and never installed it, sold it and got the turbo i have now but the enjuku cars are making realy good power with it.

Speaking of Enjuku... here's the video from D-Day 7 in Ocala with them drifting... the car that was drifting caught on fire at the end of the day...

and ya... some of the in car footage (where you can see the drivers hands) is from my Corolla.

I just got started editing the race so video will be up in an hour or two.

Seems to me you guys are running a bunch of the worst viper drivers on earth. Its so sad to see a bad driver in a viper makes everyone think they are slow. Too bad I didnt see you guys out friday night. I would have given you a real race. Now that you have beaten a srt why not try a rt10. Oh by the way the srt10 is slow stock only 11.7 with a good driver. As soon as you get your tranny fixed we can line them up from a dig and see how fast that car really is.

I openly said that the slow shifts and poor gear choices during the races lead to the Viper not showing what it is fully capable of. PM me and I'll gladly give you my cell # so we can all meet up have some good fun runs and get the action on video.

I am not mad at you for beating the viper. I just know that there are a lot of viper owners out there that cant drive. That is what makes me mad. I like 240s, and the sr20 is a great motor. I live near Kennesaw and my 94 has some minor boltons. I would tell you whats done to it but that gives away all the fun. I just think its funny that everyone is allways wanting to race a viper but it is always stock. Ill give you a chance at a stock motor bolton viper. This is no corvette thou it can hold over a 1000 on stock internals. TRUST ME.

I was wondering since you are always bashing on corvettes you would like to run its smaller slower brother. I have a trans am I would like to run you in. I have seen you on here talking trash about corvettes and was wondering if that viper actually will run or do you just run your mouth????Anyways if you want to run let me know. We can run them on Sat night after NOPI I'm sure. If your not scared lets run.

I dont hate ls1 you fool, two of best friends drive vettes. I am just saying a vette is limited to 550 whp with stock motor, a viper can handle 1000. If you want to race your suppa fast trans am then why not at the nopi drag race in october. Sorry my car is down for some upgrades. Hope you have a built 408 with a d1 and nitrous. By the way trans ams are the redneck ride of choice.

What color is your Viper? It's a 94-95 correct? You sure do $hit talk about alot of cars. Whether they are vettes, imports, trans ams whatever. I guess you mention the 408/D1/bottle because thats all you know and that is what your buddy ran. With your "MINOR" bolt ons you wouldnt have a chance against a car like that anyways. Maybe your "minor" bolt on Viper wouldnt mind running my near stock Z06? Oh I'm sorry it's in the shop...........
