I have pulled on 3 stgs 3 srt-4s with all the toys on race gas. one was making 380fwhp, other was making 385fwhp and the other one said he didnt know but he would assume to be around 380fwhp as well. and I had a 455rwhp heavy ass full weight cobra. 3 cars to 385fwhp one, 4-5 cars to 380fwhp one and surprisingly the other one who said he didnt know his numbers was like 1,5-2 cars behind but he is known as a very good driver.
so 780rwhp blown viper losing to 360fwhp srt-4 doesn't sound right. not calling BS, just saying something is wrong!
Yeah it should have no problem beating a neon.......you would think. 780hp viper > 360hp neon without a doubt. It was fresh off the dyno so it was making those numbers and my car was on the dyno a week before that (same boost, octane, u name it). Like I stated before, alot more come into factor (gearing, traction, power band etc.) with a viper at that level. As soon as his power hit he would break the tires lose with the ass end sliding out a bit and shift before he had any kind of traction what so ever. I was just as surprised as you guys, I mean come on... a 360hp neon hanging with a blown viper wtf. Weather the car was geared for the track or for street, i dont know. All I know was the numbers it put down minutes before, what it had done (blown, built motor, street tires), and what it did when we were playing around. Car was capable of well over 1100hp but they were taking it easy being that it was completed not to long before the dyno day. Sometimes u wish u had a cam in the car :/ ...........
