Id have to see it to believe it that a stock geared srt4 could hit 180. Im sure its geared up. Most little 4cyl cars are. Im sure youll correct me if Im wrong. Obvious rwhp. By 400 no less. I mean we're talking 50% more power here. Weight going to the srt4 Im sure but not that much difference. On a roll weight has a lot less to do with terminal velocity. Explained to me by a holder of a land speed record. I just dont see anything that points to the posibility of any front wheel drive 800hp car beating a 1200 hp viper.
Sense you asked to be corrected if you were wrong.
You can easily get 245's under a neon with stock suspension. And you don't know if it had street tires, D/R's, or slicks. The viper may not have had the advantage on the traction side. Add that 400 extra whp, and it probably doesn't hook for shit. Ever see that episode of pinks with the really nasty stingray. He barely be the nova he ran. They desided to run with only one stage and the bitch hooked like crazy and won be even more. Less power=faster time.
As for the gearing, the stock gearing in a srt will easily hit 180 with the extra 1500-2000 rpm's his car has.
Everones seen those 1000whp evos right. There was some vids of one guy that was making like 800+ then upped it to 1000, and lost to cars he used to beat. Why? Because the combination of his new power band and traction would be my guess.
My point is anything can happen, even more so on the street. And when you talking about cars this fast it's even more so.
