Anyone else notice how the viper looks like a longer, more sculpted supra? The GT-S vipers are one of the most gorgeous cars ever, IMO. I'd take one over a supra anyday.

I'll see if I can find any vids... I know I saw one of a doug legan SC kit putting down around 960whp, it was a quick romp down the freeway, getting wheelspin at like 70 and 3/4 throttle in 4th gear
www.viperclub.org is a good site, but the forums seem to be down today for some reason.

And Titan did some testing here in Gainesville a few months back. They FINALLY put an automatic in there, so they're only gonna get faster now.

Wow, 6 mph is pretty huge... I don't understand how the auto trannies for drag cars work, I've read stuff about a high stall speed which allows the engine to remain in a certain RPM range while accelerating the car, is it basically like slipping the clutch?
I know it's so the car can maximize acceleration by keeping in the peak torque range... Is that close enough?

Yeah that Supra is bada$$! I'm pretty sure he got his highest MPH at Bristol this past weekend... but his ET didn't break into the 8s. BTW the Nopi event was very fun! Hopefully I'll have my car ready next year to run at Maryland and Bristol.
