Info on the race, seeing is it took place here in Mobile AL.
the viper makes well over 1200 HP, BUT here were the terms of the race
-Viper had to be on 6 or 8psi, i cant remember but it was at right around 700hp
-Viper had to be on street tires, he showed up on 19 inch wheels, and some 305 size tires
-John was basically running his car to the max!
-John melted a piston that night, but at the time he thought it was a head gasket

I was out there that night. and heh.. well put the video togeather. The viper was wearing 345 michilen pilots. The race was from a 40mph roll. the second race wasnt caught on tape but Jon gave him the kick and still pulled him pretty hard. They are supposed to hit it up again when Jon gets his other junkyard RB motor in. I think they might try and hit up at the track so traction shouldnt be a issue. I cant wait and when it happens I will be making another vid.

Nice find. Rep sent to you. I love to see a Z that is taken care of and still kicks it with the best, even if it is after the bottle and many many bolt ons.

I know that the lowest powered henneseey tt viper available is the venom 800tt-and they guarantee 800whp-So why was that one only making 700 and change? Did they have him turn the boost down to run the Z?

i'm sorry but the styling on the viper will always look better then a 280z.
the rest of your post is an argument that could be said about any exotic vs anything not an exotic.
its the same as having 85k in a supra or a new F430 and getting walked by a 20k investment in a fox body stang that would make @800whp....
