Looks like a Stock 94 RT/10 runs in the low 13s or better.

Maybe with cerbal palsy behind the wheel
GOOD drivers have gone lower end of 12's @ 112-115mph
AVG is mid to high 12's @ 111-113
13's = the suck
This is 1st gens, newer Vipers are much faster. 1st gen times after a few minutes of searching varied from 12.3 to 12.8 that I have seen 111-117mph.

Im not putting pressure on anybody. 400ft/lbs at 2500rpms is @ WOT Karl, you forget you HAVE to control clutch and throttle in high hp cars. He could go 3/4 throttle and still nail 1.9 60ft's easy. I could run 2.0 60ft's launching my Z at idle NA. Anyways, hopefully he will make the trip to the track, he will leave a better driver than when he came.

It will be good experience b/c we'll have the track to ourselves i.e. No lines.

You wont wreck on street tires unless you dont use common sense. Trust me, most wobbles/scares happen on slicks at much higher speeds than 11X trap.
A private track day with friends is the way to learn. Nobody is there to laugh at you, only help you and line up against a Viper for fun

We had some great video and ownage video. There's one of me against Shawna. She didn't get off the line for a good 2-3 seconds (not sure what happened). I f*cked up shifting into third and just said f*ck it and coasted the rest of the way. Whadya know, Shawna "reels" me in at the finish in made me look like an a$$.
That reminds me ... I want a rematch!

Can't wait to see the difference with slicks and JWT clutch/flywheel upgrade.

I wish Shawna could get a clutch in that thing so I can put my slicks on it and run low 13's with 2 bolt-ons and slicks.

You can use my slicks for a few passes ... I don't plan on doing 20+ passes this time. We'll have plenty of time in between runs.
