Well, it used to be red. The 96's were the blue/white cars. They didn't make a blue 98 . I gave the nephews a ride today and scared them quite a bit. Sadly, I start business travel tomorrow and won't be able to drive for a week.

Weather was nice today and I was in town for once, so off the track I went. It's the 1/8th mile track I used to own. I drove the car in, put 1/4 tank of 112 in just to be on the safe side. I drove up to the scales and weighed the car. With me in the car, along with various crap I had, the car came in at 3820. That was a totally full tank of gas and full methanol. I weigh about 170lbs right now. The scales might be a tad off as they were having a little issue, but I imagine this is pretty close.
I had no clue what to expect. I'm running on the 20" HRE's with Nitto's. The car is set on low boost. I figured I'd just walk it out and try to get into the boost around half track and see what happens. I couldn't make myself do a burnout, I like the paint too much . I just drove up, staged up and off we go.
The first two runs were fun. I went through first with no boost, got into 2nd and the boost came on pretty quick, too quick. So quick that I had the [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean] end break loose big time and point itself towards the wall. I quickly let out of the gas and she straightened right up. I made 8 passes today, some variation of that happened on about 6 passes haha.
I ran the car 3 passes at a time with no waiting. The car never got over 185 degree's. My best pass of the day was as follows:
60': 1.808 330': 4.605 1/8th: 6.702 Mph: 119.06
On this pass I got it into 2nd pretty quick and slowly built the boost in and got it into 3rd. The car was running like a mother on the back half. Car was as smooth as silk. Never gave me an issue, never darted, just straight as an arrow. I was very pleased with this run. As you can see from the 60' time, I have a ton of ET left. I made a bunch of runs in the mid-low 7's at over 110mph. All of those runs, the car either spun the tires in 2nd or it went sideways and I had to get her straight. I have no doubt in my mind that I'll go into the 9's as soon as I hit a 1/4 mile track.
I drove the car out, went to the grocery store, got my food and came home. Never a spit or sputter. To run like that on the lowest setting the car has, under the conditions I had it in, very excited. I'm going to play on street tires for awhile and worry about the slicks later.

Nice car for sure. When you get it dialed in maybe you and Lee Saunders can have some heads up racing. His is a Twin turbo automatic Jason Heffner car and ran 7.99 on pump gas at Memphis last year.

His car is a race car, mine is a street car. Don't get my wrong, his car is incredible, however, it has been heavily modified. It can pass the street car tests it does, but it's far from what a normal viper is. I have a small cam, small intercooler, stock oiling system and normal valvetrain. The converter I have is made for the street. My car was meant to be a street car first and race car second. I can't take my car over 6200 with the oiling system I have. His car has a glide, mine a normal TH400.
His car is in a different league from mine. What he has done is just amazing. I've put well over 1000 miles on my car in a month and I've been out of town half of those days with work. I drive the car all the time.

Very cool, what ET is the car actually legal too? 8.50 it appears.

Cage is certified to 8.50.
As far as the oiling goes, it's the biggest weak spot on a viper. I'm sure I could push it past that point, but why take the chance? I'm not trying to set any records. I'm enjoying my car and will push it within reason. I'll run some 1/4 mile stuff later on and put up some 8's. Right now I want to run 9's in the 1/4 on street tires
awsome!keep up the good work.do what you want/enjoy. do you have any turbo pics,intercooler?where there any build progress pictures takin?

I've been "out of it" for years and am amazed how fast some of these are. When you say "glide" and "TH400" do I underatand you are adapting GM turbo hydro 400? Does that mean the stock Mopar trans are a POS?
