GN defangs supercharged viper

OK this race happend about a week ago. I have been waiting to post it hoping I could find someone who video taped it but... I can't. so here it goes.

As some of you know I have a few new goodies for the GN this summer.
Dual ball bearing TE-66. ported heads, ported intake, direct alcohol injection, Ice water to air intercooler.


Well here is the story....

I am in this intern program where I am at my internship for 8 weeks getting paid and then I am in classes for 8 weeks not getting paid(graduate in two weeks!!!) Well when I am in class, I worked for a dyno shop in Peoria IL. Well we have this really rich doctor in the area that just thows money at a new car every year. Last year he supercharged a z06 and this year it was a viper. Well I worked on the viper occoasionaly, put the roots blower on it, and some stuff here and their. It put 580 at the wheels.

Well his son... 17 year old kid, is the primary driver of these cars, we wil call him "silver spoon". I pulled up with the GN (after being in hibernation for a long time) and parked and I got out to say hi to some of the locals. Well as I was saying hi to a buddy of mine that had his new mach 1 out, "silver spoon" sends some 16 year old kid over to me asking if I was willing to put my GN up agenst his new STOCK viper..... I looked over and noticed the car. Stock my ass were the words out of my mouth..

Well I walk over there and he is leaning up agenst the car with his money grubing whore of a girlfriend.

Me: Don't piss down my back and tell me it's rain, who are you trying to kid this thing is stock?
Him: What? I just got this car.
Me: You mean you daddy just got this car back from the dyno shop.
Him: *blank look*
Me: I work up there little fella, I know what you have. I dynoed it.
Him: Well I always hear about you Buick, still think you have the balls to run with a boosted v-10
Me: You don't even have to ask that question.


We head out to the boon docks and we get lined up. His car sit's with 590 HP 8 PSI stock tires/suspension with a 17 year old driver. Mine sits with 520 HP 27 PSI ET drags (LOL slicks RULE) and a few suspension goodies.

Anyway we burned out and we are lined up and ready to go, we have a flagger in the middle of us and about 15 cars on each side. I am sitting on the brake with 13 PSI on the gauge waiting to be unleashed on the pavement. the flags go up and I give her a little more fuel. Flag goes down and I LAUNCH with 16 PSI trying to tear the tires up but the slicks just grab. The car starts to veer off to the left a bit and I try to countersteer but the front end is sooo light, the car will not turn. Meanwhile "Silver Spoon" is back there in that monster viper just tryin his little heart out. I was accually suprised by how well the viper hooked up, he kept me within two car lengths the whole race. When it was over, he simply picked up his sorry excuse for a GF and just told me in the most sinister voice a pretty rich boy can have. "Just enjoy it while you can, wait untill we get the smaller pulley and more boost." My reply was "OK tell you dad to call us when he gets it, I will put it on for him." After that he just drove away.

the morale of the story is.... Traction is the key. Spend some money on suspension and tires.


I should go paint a pair of fangs on the fenders of the GN :evillol:

Hypsi, the GN, you can never go wrong with. Makes want a TTA so bad. Good, very good kill. Damn GN beatin vipers. Damn that is hot.

there is nothing better then smokeing some rich kids ride that his daddy bought him. There is nothing that gets under my skin more then a kid who has a fast car that his daddy bought. He is allways the cockyest individual you will ever meet.

Gratz on the kill wish i could of seen that. :)

This is why I would ONLY try you from a roll. :lol:

PFF THATS NOT REAL RACING!!!!11!!!ONE!!!!!!!
real men race from a dig.

Thats the best story I've heard in a very long time.
your very modest bro, I would of talked so much shit about that guy till he just lost it and tryed to beat me down.....then I'd sue the shit out of him......then I'd get that Viper!

excellent kill, I know how it feels when you get to beat someone who thinks that daddy's car is the hottest thing around.


ill race you......... if you wanna run a bike.

"OK tell you dad to call us when he gets it, I will put it on for him."


best line ever
:lol:

Andy, Modest???? :lol2:





There's a few mustang owners in town just like that...cocky fuckers, bring the ol' tri shield here and shut some of em up with me. :wink:

I had a similar thing happen. Some kid in his fancy 10k korean car wanted to race my 944. Daewooed that car.

hmmmm 580whp is kinda tame for a super charged viper. but good job and i love that, have your dad tell me so i can put it on for him. hahha

good story :bigthumb:

wow, that was an awesome story. can i see some pics of the gn...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!! :p

That's hilarious!!! It would've been great if you could've gotten a video of that though.

Me: Don't piss down my back and tell me it's rain

Speaking of piss, the next time he bring that Viper in, piss in the radiator. He'll get a nice smell the next time he turns the heater or a/c on.

Whoa, was that just another Fast and The Furious spin off or what. I call :bs:.























:icon16: I loved that story. Especially the ending. I wish I could come up with some witty line whenever I want to shut someone down. Usually all I manage is "Your mom" or "Oh yeah?". As you can tell, my witty comebacks need help. Good kill and great story.

hahaha. great story! best one ive read in a while! cant wait to read round 2! :grinyes:

That was classic. Brought a tear to my eye. Two thumbs, and a toe up (I'm scratching my leg with the other toe).

Andy, Modest???? :lol2:

Tri shield, pssh, get out the rectangular peace on the maroon background. Olds power, 1993 olds that is.

Great story, shows that viper's really aren't all their cracked up to be.

Pretty nice! Slicks on street roads ehhh? lolol. I guess that gives a new meaning to "cheater slicks", lol.

wow if you need help with combacks then what does musashi need... :uhoh:

A tactical nuke and your address smart ass! :evillol:

everyones a critic!

shoulda raced for pink slips.

Traction wins every time, nice job. Altho, I have to say that 580 is pretty low for a blown Viper. Not that it matters, it could be a 1,000hp Viper, doesn't mean a thing if he can't hook. At least he tried from a dig, gotta give him credit for that.

First off great kil, and the following is not to belittle your win.

Why is his viper only putting down 580? Is that totally untuned? My brother just had a paxton novi 2000 supercharger installed on his 97' rt/10, and he put down 600 with no tuning, and 652whp with a little tuning. He does have, hennesy exhaust but I'm guessing that guys does too? I guess considering dyno differences, temperature, altitude, and the individual car, 580whp could seem reasonable.

If that kid plans on having a smaller pulley put on he should install new injectors. From what I heard from my brothers mechanic who dyno tuned it, 7psi/8psi was about the old injectors limits. The engine was a little lean at top rpm. New ones were installed on my brothers for safety.

sorry guys. 680 HP, I stoped by the shop lastnight and looked it up. I will post the dyno sheet later tonight

Late to the thread but damn glad I read it. :iceslolan

It would have been great to see.

sweet kill man. Nothing like seeing a rich get shut up. Also that comeback line was so classic man, seriously that prolly made him so mad he went home a cried to his daddy for a faster car.

Awesome story! Granted neither vehicle is no slouch by any means, but somebody had to put a 17 year old spoiled rotten smart ass in his place.

that was great!

plan on racing him with your fast car next? :D

that was great!

if he wants to but, I am not sure he would if I show up with a parachute on the back of the car :evillol:


Well on that dyno sheet..... The boss says no, the doctor has requested that the dyno results not be public so he won't give me a copy to scan.......... He let me look at the screen but not to be copied and handed out. it was 683HP

thats frickin crazy... you gotta love traction

Traction is KING, well torque helps :D

Good kill, love the GNs. Turbos baby:)

Whats her best 1/4?

man, that is freaking awesome! Buicks kick ass :D
(goes out to massage his '91 Regal)

i would have loved to see that... gj man

good job, put the cocky sob in check :lol2:

hey hypsi my bro found a pic on the subaru sti forums that might peak your interest
http://www.iwsti.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24924&highlight=buick+gnx
it would be nice if they made it though

that "gnx" looks exactly like a gto or monaro, and nothing like a current buick. the motor sounds beastly though!

You guys also have to remember it was a 17 year old driving, Hell I know I couldent drive a supercharged viper to its potential.

He should goto racing schools...im sure the car is plenty fast enough.

yea I just wish it was not a hoax...... :disappoin


driving school or not, knowing how to drive or not... slicks vs. street tires.

the 60' makes the race and I have had 60' in the 1.51 range.

Great kill Hypsi. I agree with you last post too, if GM is going to revive a muscle car bring back the GN and do it right. Too bad GM hasn't figured out all those guys heading to Bowling Green every year who eat, sleep, and breathe Buick aren't showing up to compare Park Avenues.

The problem with doing it right is GM refuses to spend the money because they dont perceive the market to be lucrative enough for a large investment....if it were, they would have actually made a GTO and not an australian car with GTO badges

but I agree they should bring back the GN and do it right...dag, Id buy one

:lol: Good Point.

I'd say nice kill, but I don't know if that is the right way to treat a customer (Or a customer's son for that matter).

he asked me if he wanted to race.

What kind of transmission do you have in your GN? How about the viper?

That new concept GNX looks exactly like a GTO.

yup and I will be there

More than likely I will too. I am a Ford through and through, but something about those black Buicks seems to draw me to town every year anyway.

Google brought up nothing on it. Is it a 4-speed auto judging from the r4?

yea Jimmie Mundaline has a tranny shop in Chicago. All the GN guys send there work his way, he has been working on GN transmissions (which are special and different from every other 200-r4) since 1988.


All GN's are automatics as well.

Viper should have a T56 trans.

Great kill man. Loved the story. I love it when rich kids get slamed.

OOC, if the Viper had gotten traction (say DRs and a suuspension), same story or no?

I'll be in BG.. just because I live here.
