I was at the Dyno shop today, and there was a Viper there that put out 835-horse power to the rear wheels. On the bottle it broke 1000 hp. They couldn’t get an accurate reading because when they shifted to the next gear the car did a burn out on the Dyno!
Unbelievable but true! I talked to the guy who owned the car. He does drive it on the street but not everyday. Mostly at the track.

Communication wasn't his strong point. Very stand offish. I tried to talk to the guy but, he didn't really want to talk. Oh well the car was awesome.

A friend of mine just took his 81 Vette into to see what it dynos at. It ran a mere 445 rwhp...but then the turbos kicked in at 3,700 RPM's and the horse power shot right up to 1,054 rwhp. I thought that was pretty impressive, although the engine is blueprinted and has twin turbos, but still very impressive. Someday, my C-class will have that

The viper guy has probably out sourced conversation. You should have asked to have his people talk to your people.
