I'VE RACED WITH A COUPLE OF DODGE VIPERS AT THE QUARTER-MILE DRAG STRIP AT THE CALIFORNIA SPEEDWAY. THESE VIPERS WERE RATED 450HP AND SOME 490 LB FT OF TORQUE. HERE ARE THE RESULTS:

MY BMW 540i ---------- 12.678 seconds @ 116.11 mph (with 9.5 lbs of Boost Pressure)
DODGE VIPER ---------- 12.810 seconds @ 113.23 mph

MY BMW 540i ---------- 12.732 seconds @ 115.98 mph (with 9.5 lbs of Boost Pressure)
DODGE VIPER ---------- 12.821 seconds @ 114.92 mph

MY BMW 540i ---------- 13.194 seconds @ 108.34 mph (with 8 lbs of Boost Pressure)
DODGE VIPER ---------- 12.975 seconds @ 112.89 mph

MY BMW 540i ---------- 13.281 seconds @ 109.01 mph (with 8 lbs of Boost Pressure)
DODGE VIPER ---------- 12.817 seconds @ 114.00 mph

MAN! THESE VIPERS ARE HARD TO BEAT. GOOD THING MY SUPERCHARGER KICKS IN (@ 9 PSI) AND SAVES THE DAY.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES AT THE TRACK. ENJOY!
