Edit: So unless you saw Heffner’s sponsored car run, you did not see a 6 speed run that time unless you saw it after he got the record which was December 12th last year as you see the posted I posted below this ---

Jason Heffner said they won the viper shootout in Florida today . Jason said they drove to the track changed the tires and blasted a 8.78 with the speaker box and everything still in the car,backed it up with a 8.77 and changed the tires and drove it back to the hotel. He had everything covered by a half of a second and 12 mile an hour for the record. That was cut and pasted from another forum I am on. I think it ended up going 8.75 but I am unsure. ---

> [@Cutty](#): > > sledgehammer would smash that. You may be right on top end…254 mph would be hard to match. But in the 1/4 the sledge hammer would get OWNED. Here are some stats on the sledgehammer. Price: $400,000 Miles Per Gallon: 10/19 mpg Curb Weight: 3671 lbs Layout: Front-Engine/RWD Transmission: 6-Speed Manual Engine Type: Twin-Turbo V8 Displacement: 5733 cc Horsepower: 880 bhp @ 6250 rpm Torque: 772 lb-ft @ — rpm Redline: ---- rpm Performance 0-60 mph: 3.9 sec 0-100 mph: 9.4 sec Quarter Mile: 10.6 sec @ 127 mph Skidpad: .98g Top Speed: 254 mph Braking, 60-0 mph: 122 ft Slalom Speed: 65.6 mph With these stats I would w/o any hesitation pull up to the sledgehammer on run it from a dig. That Viper would be at over 160 before that Vette saw 130(That would be bus lengths). Don’t get me wrong I still think the Sledgehammer is the one of the most badass machines ever built. I also realize when you design a car to go 254 mph then the 1/4 mile time will suffer. ---

Just to clarify this up. The Yellow Viper that Jason Heffner built went the 9.07@166 the last week of November 2004. The same vehicle went to the Viper Shootout and ran 8.77 and breaking it’s own record. No other 6 speed Viper has went within a half of a second of its ET or within 12 mph of the mph it ran. With an automatic transmission there are claims that it could go 7.90-8.20’s. I guess Jason has not updated his website lately. There is a video of the 8.77 pass but when I tried bringing it up, it has since been removed from where it was. I will see if I can get Jason to E-mail it to me so I can get it posted on here for you guys to see. ---
