@@Boyo1956 he's on a drag strip, use 2 feet, no excuses he's a shit driver. On a positive note you can see everytime the challenge gains, is only when viper breaks, so....i think I'll buy a viper any day
Actually, when shifting the viper activates some sort of stability control even when ecs is turned off. Google it, you literally have to tune it or flash the ecu to have that not happen anymore.
I’ve never driven or been in a Viper, but I’ve heard that the pedals are really close together and it’s easy to clip the brake pedal with the tip of your foot. Can anyone confirm that?
Why he peddled his car is trying to run as close to your dial-in as possible without going quicker, or breaking out If both cars run faster than their dial-ins (called running under or breaking out), the racer closest to their dial-in wins
If my son ever says he likes the two door rectangle more than a viper because it’s faster, No he isn’t. The viper was viscerally sculpted by angels, The challenger is visually insulting and rectangled.
How about if you're scared you're gonna wreck your 100,000 dollar car. DONT RACE IT. Just take it out on Sundays. Hit a couple of corners cruise the strip. Then put it back in the garage. Dude basically went to the track and just got embarrassed. And guess what? Its all on RU-vid.
Díganle al del Viper qué el Freno NO se usa durante la carrera si no hasta el final, ojalá y no haya apostado el auto ó $$$ dinero porque perdió Estúpidamente
Those tires are wide and meant to grip so his burnouts consisted of a little tire spin and lots of fried clutch. 🥴 take this abused viper away and re-home it to a better owner. It deserves so much better than this
Probably shitty Chrysler electrics or he's touching the brake pedal so slightly when shifting turning the brake lights on. Pedals too close together and the dude has large shoe size?
Clearly the Viper driver is probably driving a stick shift for the 2nd time in his entire life. Hitting the brake pedal for a second on a drag strip? Now that's a noob move.
The Viper was king of bracket racing that day using the often overlooked and unorthodox method of applying the middle pedal not once, but twice while going down the track. Smart move. ;)
Ooook I thought I was crazy when I saw that.... or that maybe this was a new trend where soybois hook up their brake light to clutch so it goes on every time you shift....?? 🤔 🤣🤣🤣
I think he pedaled as to control car on track ......just as pro mod or funny car does sometime.... It needs experience to drive on dragstrip.....it's a whole different thing from street race
🤦🏾♂️ Did I just see a brake light on the Viper in the middle of the 1st race?? Wait,, and the second race too??? WTH!! Maybe he was trying to lose,. If so it worked.... SMH!!!
@@queupnext299 Honestly depends on the amount of torque the Hellcat produces. Because at 707 Horsepower, barebone stock, it could pull it off. However we all know the viper pushes 650 Horsepower and that V10 has some serious torque to offer. So who knows.
Viper driver needs to reposition his foot on the clutch to avoid hitting the brake. That said, the Hellcat ran a really strong 10.21 to the Vipers 11.41 so it's doubtful he would have won even with perfect shifting which probably would have put him in the 10.9's.
Hellcat is modified while the viper only has exhaust. In the drag their both about even and the viper has the top end. U need some mods to really wake up that 8.4L beast. And most common first mod is a stroker that makes it a 9L. Lookup turbo vipers they are literal rocketships that rarely lose.
Stock for stock viper wins even while the hellcat is supercharged and viper is all motor. The hellcat has some heavy mods doing demon times. Viper most likely just exhaust.
So unfortunately this viper would have lost against that hellcat anyway, and I see a lot of comments asking about him hitting the brakes while shifting, for anybody who's never driven a viper they probably don't know how close together all three of the pedals are in that car. You have to really really get used to it before you can get away from hitting The brake when you up shift quick. Even some of the best drivers I've seen in vipers tend to hit the brake because of how close the pedals are together. It's a really bad design. It's about the only bad design about the viper. So yes every single time this dude went down the track, he fat-footed the brake pedal lol
Dudes a safety risk if he's "fat footing" the brake... Have driven a couple and can attest to the pedals being close but anyone knows you drive a sports car you don't go at it in your walmart hikers..
This was true for the Gen 1, 2 and 3 Vipers. The car in the race is a gen 4 viper. The pedal spacing issue was resolved in the gen 4 so that's not why he was braking.
@@Darkside8103 thank you!! I drove every gen and even early ones were not THAT bad that you'd hit the brakes every time you pressed the clutch anyway. Finding reverse though...
At the beginning of the video where the viper tried to warm up it's tires tells me how the race will be. Can't even warm up the tires properly and yet wants to race SMH.
The viper can easily outrun a hellcat power to weight ratio matters a lot and from what I seeing, the viper driver is braking everytime he upshifts maybe he's nervous to handle a hardcore snake?
WTF is up with this noob viper driver. If you are drag racing a viper you have to know the pedals are off center. Do this again and with a competent driver please. I would really like to see how they pair up.
