Fastest Production Car 1/4 mile Viper is not king anymore (1 Viewer)

[aim54x]

Sorry the viper is not the fastest stock production car in the 1/4mile. it was in the 1999 test, running a 12.08, but in this yrs retest it came in third behind the Saleen S7 and the Ford GT.

the 8.3 lt V10 SRT10 viper is only number 3. would u believe that. the new Ford GT (5.4lt V8) has the fastest 0-60mph (0-100kmph), but came in 2nd (11.69 122.74mph), although tested on an inferior track. the S7 (7lt V8) brushed in faster then the GT by a bit and bout half a second faster than the viper, running an 11.51, 127.38mph.

come on where are the rev heads who think the viper is king. FACT it was never king, d 427 Cobra could always dust a SRT10.

The Dodge Viper is a mad car, though i never knew that it was the fatest production car over 1/4 mile. I reckon it is still one of the best looking sports cars around, though the Ford GT is quite wonderful, i was watching a show on discovery channel about it. its crazy the amount of effort that goes into one of these super cars.

 

[braad]

are u serious? or r u just referring to american made cars?

but i can vouch for the 427 cobra. mates dad has one (a replica, yes) and, omg, never have i felt acceleration like that, this thing had the 427, and was built properly (no jag rear-end, inboard brakes, huge calipers etc etc)...

neways, viper the quickest? if its world-wide, then i thought it would've had problems getting all that torque down?

 

[aim54x]

it was an american article, but there were a number of non ameriacn cars. can u name any stock production jap car that can run these times???

the viper has always been the one to beat but it never was able to beat the Shelby 427SC Cobra in its stock form.

HAHA YOU'RE WRONG!!!!!

Haha I am a girl, yes, but I DO know exactly what I am on about when it comes to cars!!!!!
The fastest production car in the world is the Koenigsegg CCR:

Speccies as follows:

Performance

Acceleration: 0-100 km/h (0–62 mph) 3.2 seconds
Top speed: 395+ km/h (242+ mph)
Standing quartermile: 9 seconds, end speed 235 km/h (146 mph)Braking distance: 31 m (100–0 km/h)
Lateral g-force: 1.3 g
Fuel consumption: Highway travel: 13 l/100 km
Combined: 17 l/100 km

I love being right about these things

EDIT: sorry for any guy who is intimidated... I don't mean this to sound like I'm bragging!! I just read what i wrote

 

[braad]

lol, now, did u know that b4 all the recent media attanetion that bloody thing got? must admit, nice car...not only am i jealous of those who can afford one, im jealous of those who can spell its name...

but quick car weird name or not

 

[AsyLum]

Yeah she beat me to it.

I always thought the fastest cars over the quarter mile were the Mclaren F1 GTR Street Version, and the Koenigsegg CCR superceded its acceleration capabilities with its production.

Going off memory it was something like 3.2 vs. 3.6 in terms of acceleration, which just goes to show how the Koenigsegg obliterates the Mclaren.

braad: its been getting attention for a while now, its just here that it was brought out to be seen. I think i first heard of it beginning of this year through a car show on the net.


kelboo: chics who know things about cars are turn-ons

 

[kelboo]

Haha thanx Asylum!! thats very sweet.

The McLaren had varying times (tested on diff tracks in diff conditions) but its fastest time was actually a 3.7.

Mind you this is still pretty goddam quick... my car is nowhere near that fast......


.....yet!!!

Don't get scared now, yes yes I did..

It helps to co-own my own business which directly relates to performance cars....

:uhhuh:

 

[AsyLum]

ahh yes, that sounds like it

thanks, considering its age its not too bad to have stayed up near that level for that long though

flat 9 supras, i have just been made aware of their presence....

 

[aim54x]

fastest 0-100 kmph is the BOSS mustang. a concept with a 10lt v8. it does it in 1.9sec.

the Koenigsegg CCR wasn't mentioned in the article, i'll take ur speed. my piont was that the viper was beaten.

 

[aim54x]

ahh yes, that sounds like it

the criteria was for stock prodution cars. the 12sec club is actually very large. i like the MOPAR Neon (8.76) i think. it is a SRT-10 Neon, gutted, quad turbo running at 80psi, plus NOS. an amazing peice of tech.

 

[AsyLum]

Performance
0-60 mph: 1.9 sec
0-100 mph: 5.5 sec
Quarter Mile: 10.55 sec @ 135 mph

still not faster on 1/4 mile

i don't get this thread????????
viper a good car?????? wtf
ford gt a good car......WTF?!

the ford gt is a piece of crap to me, just a car with an engine from a truck...

in fact, who cares about top speed or 1/4mile times....no american car can get around a corner so all that doesn't matter

 

[kelboo]

And guess what? My fave car is actually Aussie!!
Yep thats right boys n girls, the Aussie Joss Supercar...
Don't care what you all say, I think it is SO HOT

hahaha true that, i dont think many american cars can drift

 

[kelboo]

Haha... true that to an extent, Donshe....

But I'd have to say my pet hate would be sleazy guys in the JapSpec cars with twenny inch chromies bro fully sik. And then when I pull up next to them at the lights, I get asked for my number!!!

Like wtf makes them think anyone is going to give them some!?!?!

Sorry if anyone in here is like that, I'll give you advice: Don't be!!!

And chrome is like SOOOO last year bro. It's just not cool anymore (amen)
