That shiit is crazy! He claims 275 rwhp which I think might be a little optimistic, but regardless, this is one crazy fast bike, and an even crazier fast Viper - I can't wait till my bro has this set-up on his Viper - he is getting the exact same set-up as Gary!!!

Do I hear a UPS trucking coming down the road with a huge vacuum leak? That will be running through your mind everytime your bro comes over to visit....
me too.....I happen to LOVE UPS... so no problems here. Maybe the sound of those turbos spooling up would cover the motor sound a bit. Although I will say in one of Chad William's videos his car sounds just plain mean.. no UPS truck there.
That is not what I meant. I've owned crotch rockets, even a turbo bike years ago (though not as fast as a turbo Busa), and even from a 80mph roll, it didn't look like the bike was let loose. Assuming this guy knew what he was doing, the bike looked dead from the start. I'm not saying the Viper could not have won the race, but this video did not inspire me with confidence in it's authenticity.
You've seen the video I sent you a while back about the supercharger Viper vs. several Busa's, and according to the info, this turbo Busa might be faster than those bikes. So even if this TT Viper was faster than the supercherged Viper ( I can buy that ), it should not have left a Turbo Busa in it's wake.
It is no skin off of my nose, just giving you my two cents.
The SC Viper in those vidoes is NOT even close to the Heffner TT.
That SC viper traps 140-142, thisone is in the 150s.. BIG DIFFERENCE!
Not all Vipers are created equal. TT vs. SC.. no comparison.

Heck buddy we agree, as I had stated above. I can only imagine what would happen if I didn't.
Anyway, I'd like to see those two race again with a chase bike view, to see how the turbo Busa was pulling compared to the chase bike. The TT Viper might be able to win, but it should not make the turbo Busa look like a dog.
I find it hard to believe the Viper is quicker... only because of the difference in power to weight ratio... can't argue with the video though... unless the bike had a problem... However... I don't see the front end coming up at all when the race starts... I guess that suspension and 8" exstention really calms the front end... With a stock swingarm lenth that bike would probably wheelie at 80 mph... I did see a movement in the shoulder area indicating the guy got on the gas hard... If you were on the bike and wanted to win badly... wouldn't you at least crouch down low like most guys do when they race ? Not that it would make much difference... Or is that just my convoluted thinking ?
