I hade to call BS on this, 8sec faster then veyron to 200. Sure ive seen tons of cars beating the ass out of veyron (streetcars) but im doubting a 1k hp lotus will do it.

But would be sweet if it all were true, i mean in the vid up on youtube with the testrun it seemse very slow and unaggressive

The problem with the highly modded Vipers is they put down so much torque no drivetrain has been able to handle them. Those motors are ****ing beasts. If someone can ever make something strong enough to handle the torque you can expect the Viper to make an impressive showing at the mile.

Please show me a full weight street legal Lambo or Porsche than can run a high 7 or low 8 in the 1/4 mile. I may eat my words but I don't know of one.

UGR should have a video of their Nera Gallardo coming out very soon with a mind blowing 1/4 mile pass ...... its in the 8's with a trap significantly higher than their last big 1/4 mile run posted on you tube.

I had heard they had a run in the high 8s a while back but haven't heard anything else since.

V160 Getrag transmission.

Supras that deep in the quarter mile only have clutches for the mods to them.

Mainly Tilton triple and quad plates.

It's a bit longer and MUCH wider. Looks absolutely incredible in person.

One would think after just having one of the biggest meets in the world at his facility, he would do demo runs of it on the dyno or on the strip.
