you have to have a pretty healthy modded, if not close to race, or modified block ie. 2.3 or 2.4 stroker motor to tear up a viper especially if you only got a fwd. a 2.0 will do it BUT bigger is better. now if you had awd you could prob beat any viper off the line to an unexperienced driver until it hooks up. i used to have a fwd turbo eclipse gs it wasnt slow but i know i couldnt beat any vipers. i know i could smoke z28s with a modded air canister, (power-weight ratio) especially toped out before those slow cars, but lets face it a z28 is hardly a viper. as much as i like the "dsm" it does take quite a good bit of work to get into the bracket a viper reigns over. cant necissarily slap on a bigger turbo and expect to blow anything away, goes deeper than just a turbo.
