Re: Joseph Teuton that is one sweet viper
 
It is a 97 Viper owned by Dr. Tommy Fudge, a heart surgeon who has owned it since new. Over the years we just kept changing stuff from stock to now it is fully caged, a Ford 9 ", 4 link, Torqueflite, A-1 converter, and the motor has a pretty good list of things, Jesel, Comp, just for starters. The car has a best of 9.28 @ 148, unfortunately we had computer trouble with the car @ BR and never got down the track. It's on 9" tires and we actually ran Top Stock with the car a couple of times. Doc races when he can, but his time is extremely limited. Doc also has a nice super gas car, but lack of time again and he sold the car this week. The T/Flite was the greatest change, and when the car started going over 140, it had to have the 4 link, because you were no longer driving, it was driving you. I think it's been off the street 8 or 9 years. Unique car. Joseph is my son. We maintain the car for Doc. The motor has about 750 hp.

Hey Jeff...any chance someone can post video of it? I'd love to hear and see it run. Certainly must sound different.

Gary, either that or wait for the first 2011 DP which is Viper powered. Does have it's own sound. It is rated @ 425 hp. IHRA allows the T/F and NHRA has yet to allow it. I actually build a car for that, but could not get them to change the rules. I now have a 98 Viper SRT Cpe., cage, 4 link, cell, and everything else with 17k miles stored in our facility.

very nice, must be fun to drive

Re: Joseph Teuton that is one sweet viper
 
Everyone who has driven the car (and there are many) says it's very smooth. It's sorta unique in that the car has a 3.55 gear, a motor that shuts the fuel off @ 6500, and a converter about 5000 flash. You gotta shift it right or hit the overspeed. Course I can't get in the car, a little problem with weight and size. The car if allowed with a T/F could be a real fun item for the 427 Vettes in SS.

Hey Jeff, I know the liberty's can be expensive but why not put a manual in the car? It would be active driving getting through all the gears but the car should fly with a good manual setup.
