Won't be great for circuit work, because that is all that matters.

Doesn't it have 345 Goodyear semi slicks on it? Ought to have pretty decent traction!

Didn't see that bit but I'm only talking from experience I've been at the track with 60Cuba and that had way less power than this guy and that was wearing 315/35/18 Yokohama Advan AO48 semi and at 350 odd KW at the time in 2nd 3rd and 4th gear under anywhere near half throttle used to leave a smoke screen and half behind the car.

The only real solution for this was going to a tyre with the same width but a full race slick that has solved the above problem and now the car has more power also 400 and something odd KW but again this is nowhere near this guys power figure which will be in that 600+ KW area.

Just saw a video of a 3000hp street legal Viper running street legal radials doing a 6s pass, I figure where there is a will there is a way.

I gotta think this guy will be running some sought of traction control system as I think for the street this would be probably the best way to go.

I mean if you look at it most auto makers that make super-cars using every electronic aid under the sun and alot also are AWD which also would help.

IRS, the car is as close to as it came from factory as is possible and still be able to safely and legally run 6s as well as be driven on the street. Full interior, aircon, stereo, full dash etc.

I guess thinking about the topic of this thread, that car would have to count as one of my favourite builds ever. Proper sleeper, if you can call a Viper that!

Extremely impressive times for an IRS.

I wonder what we will see before our time on this mortal coil comes to an end? 5 second imports? 3 second top fueler?

I know one things certain, Ill still be running 13s ;)

Unless you've read the build and know what's been done, it looks like every other done up supra IMO nothing to really write home about

Oh yeah, I read the build so I am in the admiration pool but look out if you haven't and under estimate it.

I like his theory on lines

I think your facetubes are faulty. I find it hard to believe that I missed these two awesome things :lol: My gears are suitably oiled by watching them now though.
