That Viper is bad ass. It's a race car. Looks like that Viper has an aero kit on it with a drag chute too.
This looks like the same car:
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/HennesseyPerformancecom_108448.htmThe following car is not a race car. It does have a roll cage, but still has air conditioning, and a full interior.
This video was shot May 7th, 2007 at Oscoda, MI - Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport Formerly Wurstsmith Air Force Base. That day the Lingenfelter 2006 ZO6 Corvette 427 CID Twin Turbo blasted down the 11,800 foot runway from a dead stop to a measured mile at 226.25 MPH in 25.12 seconds.
The engine is a 427 CID LS7 based twin turbo. The car produces 1100 hp rear wheel on 93 octane unleaded fuel and 1300 hp at 21 psi of boost on race gas. This car goes from 0-200 MPH in 18.34 seconds on 93 octane pump gas. Based on calculations using the horsepower and drag of the vehicle this car would be capable of 300 MPH top speed.
This is not a race car and has full interior and stock seats and air conditioning. The car is fitted with a six point roll bar and 5 point harnesses.
This run beats our previous 2006 Motor Trend Shoot out run with a 2005 Corvette Twin Turbo that ran 211 MPH in the standing mile.
This is the fastest street C6 Corvette standing mile time on street tires using production Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires on HRE three piece forged wheels.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V6msows8d0&feature=relatedNot bad for an 8 cylinder street car on street tires.
