How fast in the 1/4 Mile?

[Mopar Boy]

Hey guys, I am thinking about taking the Viper down the 1/4 mile for the first time. My question is, how fast would a stock ACR go down the strip, stock tires and all.

With reading my signiture, what times would I be looking at?? I imagine it should be a little quicker.

Also, can anyone take a guess at what horsepower I would have? Unfortunatelly I do not know if my exhaust is a Borla or a Corsa as it was already installed when I got it and I can't fit underneath to read it!

Thanks!

On stock tires, 3.73s will be a "challenge" to launch effectively. On 20's?! You really need some Kumhos or Nittos. But if you get a good run, I would say 12.2-12.7. What altitude are you at in Canada?

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you'll have to shift into 5th. 115-118mph?

[Dom426h]

3.73's and 20's? yea, that'll make a tough launch.

do you still have the original acr wheels?

12.2 - 12.7? You must be kidding. Disturbed did an 11.01 on street tires with only a few minor tweaks.

A stock 2002 ACR is not going to run 11.01. Maybe just maybe on a perfect day with a great driver 12.01 and believe me that's not easy. In fact I'm going to say somewhere about mid 12's between 115-117 if you can drive. If not it'll run low 13's.

"minor tweaks", really? Dude, don't put out BS when you don't know WTF you're talking about. Disturbed has more than "minor tweaks" , plus is running Kumhos , plus has a fair amont of track experience

Mopar Boy is taking his car down the track for the first time, with 3.73's on 20s!,

Please tell me you were joking. If not, think before you post................................

Stock tires to me sounds like you have 6 year old tires... That is very bad...

I didn't realize that car came "stock" with 20's

Stock 99 with only a hi flow cat exhaust and mine ran 12.2 my first time at the track .I am a road racer so I am sure someone with drag racing experience could be in the mid 11's easily

OK, let me see if I can fix the cunfusion here.

My first question was what a stock ACR runs with the stock tires. As I have never had the honour of seeing a ACR go down the track, I wanted to see what times it would post, thus having a baseline for what my car would run.

My second question was what MY car would do as it is obiously NOT stock. I am not saying I have stock tires either! I am running 20" (man do I seem to be getting ribbed for using those with 3.73's ) with 345 Perelli P-Zero tires (not sure if they are good or not , but this is how the car came when I purchased it a year ago). Maybe I need to rephrase this question as well, what would it run with a experienced driver.

As for our altitude, we are sea level. Track experience, almost none. I went down the 1/4 mile once with dads 300 SRT-8 but other than that...

I hope that clears something up....

Last year with my 2000 GTS with the original tires, 3.54's, Borla cat-back, and cone filters, I ran a 12.8@118. I had only drag raced a couple of times before that but not in a Viper. I would figure a stock ACR would be close to that, maybe a bit quicker with an experienced driver. BTW the track is at about 500ft above sea level (Grand Bend).

I'm sure alex was joking. Besides...heads are minor right???


I wouldn't consider myself a fair amount of track experience...I still can't 60ft better than 1.7's Maybe when I get some 1.5's in on these Kumho's


An ACR's 1100ft-lb rear springs SUCK for drag racing.

For you, I'd say launch at 1500rpm and slip the clutch just a bit....then pray it hooks.

Gen2s with even a few more mods than yours don't run mid 11's easy-or for the most part-not at all..Easy 11.5's are hard to come by.
