When we were getting my friends lightning dynoed we were told we could could get $50 off the run if we beat the highest pull he had. Then he pulled up the SVS dyno. All we could do was laugh, no way the lightning gonna touch that.

[nicolae88]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasnt there rumors of the SVS Viper catching fire on the salt flats while making a top speed run? I can't remember exactly, but the I think the turbos caught something on fire in the engine bay and car just lit up.

Here's the story: From the Source!

In 1995 my father's 1993 RT/10 was the first turbo charged Viper created. Making around 800+Hp it was incredible in all aspects. He took his Viper to the 1995 Silver State Classic in Nevada (90 mile open road race). He wanted to be the first Viper to be recorded over 200mph at a sanctioned event. A gentleman from HotRod magazine was going to document the speed with a radar gun and do an article about it. A couple miles before reaching the radar spot, the drive shaft broke at around 200mph. The drive shaft took out the external fuel pump and all the fuel lines and ignited the Viper. Travelling at 200mph oxigenated the flames and turned the Viper into ONE solid ball of fire. My father knew he had only seconds to get out of the car as he started to slow down. He told me he was completely engulfed in flames for a couple of seconds as he stopped the car and escaped. Not having driveshaft loops was a safety lesson learned the hard way. This incident had NOTHING to do with the turbo systems integrity.

Over the years this story has Never been told to the general public. Only to limited people. After all these years I feel the need to explain this story to put it to rest. The reason so much BS has flown around this story is probably because of the second part that I will explain to you.

A certain Viper Tuner known to everyone was at this event in Nevada when the incident occurred. This Tuner is excellent at capitalizing on marketing skills. After this incident we went to a VIPER OWNERS INVITATIONAL. There was many many Viper owners at this event. This Tuner placed flyers everywhere at the VOI that showed a picture of our burnt Viper that stated "This is what will happen if you get a turbo system from SVS" They were everywhere, at the banquet, in the hallways even in the bathrooms. My mother was saddened by this tactic and went up to this Tuner to give him a piece of her mind. She told him "These flyers are wrong and I please ask you to remove all of these from this event" The comment she received was "Welcome to the real world lady". I will never forget the way my mother felt at that event and the humiliation she endured. Such is life and the strong survive through adversity.

Since that event in 1995 SVS has went on to achieve the Fastest Viper in the World - 247mph. The Fastest Viper in the standing mile - 200.04mph. The Fastest Viper in the 1/4 mile (No NOS) - 9.16 @ 154mph.

Before you believe what you read or hear make sure you always consider the source.

Thanks for clearing that up Ron. Are you an employee of SVS? Just curious... what tuner posted those flyers? HMS? TNT?

[ferrari_adidas5]

if skylines are so good, why arnt they as fast? the engine may be smaller but if the viper isnt impressive then what is the skyline. engine size wont win you any races buddy

[Guyanson_Mendiola]

It depends what kind of performance parts they put in their cars and you should think that the Viper has a V10 motor and a skyline has a inline 6 motor but that depends if they are both stock.

[VenomInMyVeins]

FerrariAdidas5.... Skylines are great handlers. I don't think you understand what you are talking about too. The skyline is a 35k car.. whereas the viper is $90k... a little more expensive? Maybe a little more performance put into a car over twice the price? for the price and for the purpose.. the skyline r33 and r34 are great cars

[r34-gts]

thats neat real neat

[Psman32@af]

ya but here in the US you cant get an R33 or R34 for that price, with importing they cost about the same as a viper. Also, that vette was run with slicks, and not street legal ones, i remember reading that, unless imthinking of a different run.
