The only thing i never understood about the viper is how such a high displacement v10 only makes like stock ls or coyote numbers for horsepower? I think its a monster motor and amazing but i feel like it should make more than it does for power

how would blacking out those lights effect overall production of light? does any come through or is this purely eliminating that light element as a whole
A larger contact patch ONLY works if the friction constant changes, i.e., a softer/stickier rubber compound. Because the pressure can be lower on the larger contact patch, a faster wearing rubber can be used and give the same life span. But your mpg will go down. If you just increase the tire width without changing pressure, you haven't changed anything except the shape of the contact patch. If you increase the tire width and lower the pressure a bit, but the tire has the same compound, you aren't helping anything either.
watching this in 2024 and making the exact same mods to my s197, out of curiosity what spoiler did you go with? thank you very much if you respond, absolutely love this content your car is what I aspire to create with my own twist
I know I'm late, but I'm looking at an only slightly different comparison than a year back... 8l V10 vs 10l v8. Boss Mustang, Gotta be an epic matchup. I'm subbing in the hope to catch that someday.
at the price pt id rather just trade in for a shelby gt500...I knew a guy in 2009 who did what you did..... He was cream of the crop back them....then he sold it for a McLaren. I just start thinking about crazy cost of parts with these sports cars....The more hp the more that can go wrong.
I respect the work you put into the engine, but I gotta say, for the money you put into the stock engine, you probably could have just bought a 3rd gen Coyote and dropped that in instead.
Great video. Nice stable. Good tuner philosophy, I detect very little 'douche' around your set. I too am interested in what a nice Porsche does against the American Standard, I happen to like all the cars, Camaros, Dodges, Mustangs, Vipers, Porsches, Ferraris, and all that crap. I'd rather tune my car than buy one, but if I could I'd buy a Porsche or Ferrari to be in the daily stable and to jerk around with, for me it's engine building and mechanics, engineering, power, gears, lifter diameter, aggressive lift profiles with fat lobes, internal balancing, bob weights, solid-rollers with .750 lift on the street, 8,000 rpm old-school V8s, etc. And a dyno is just a graph, it's for tuning and preparing and optimizing, but it's a graph. Racing is still compelling because there are factors. It's about cross-sectional area, column velocity and inertia, pressure differences, laminar vs turbulent flow, heat evacuation, elimination of hot spots, quench, cylinder pressure, and if you pay attention to all of those things and more, cars are magic, the nominal specifications drop away, and you built a car just like Henry Ford had a time machine and went to school.
I'm gonna say that was alot to go through and I don't even know the cost. Just to be slower then a new slow mustang. Should of bought the camaro or vette and did all this. You would have a beast that would destroy that mustang. Great vid though 💯
