Viper Laguna Seca Record: The Whole Lap

[FormulaKimball]

Funny how many times he reached for the gear shift and then didn't shift - reminded me of my passenger lap at Nordschleife in the Zakspeed Viper - many corners where you just rev rev rev it to the redline and then brake for the next one (3rd gear all the way from Eschbach to Pflanzgarten comes to mind).

Great car great sound. I also find the new C6ZO6 with ZO7 package just ran within 2 seconds of this beast. Motor Trend Hot lap. 505HP too.

The Viper is bullet proof though.

No superchargers turbos, just real raw power

[jeffdb99]

1.1 behind is still behind, this car also has no type of electronic toys to help

[Impecco109]

Only 1.1 second faster than a ZR1, but the Vette has no wings, regular tires, and liveable seats.

[21lax]

@Impecco109 and the zr1 is made out of the flimsiest plastic ever used on a car, and its gearbox is terrible

[Impecco109]

I love, and hate this car. It is the worst to live with, even a regular one.



[SpraxIAKS]

Hate this track on GT5. I can't even do this in the game it it's basically a spitting image of the real track. I'd actually attempting this.

[ellisfreedman]

I'd love to see the dinky easy to drive GTR with its x-wing suspension technology attempt to run a faster lap time.

[MrGrabich]

You all underestimate engineers. :D

[Stig217]

the guy might be an engineer but he actually lapped faster than Randy Pobst (professional racecar driver) during motortrend's best handling test

[cardude1992]

wow i imagine a race driver would would go alot faster than this dude

[dobbins2550]

ACR is God, all others lineup behind Him.

[s25117]

ohh man this can be faster

[brycewoot]

who else would slap their grandma for one of these babies?

[998uzi]

@brycewoot dude i would slap my grand kid or my mom or whoever the fuck i have to slap to get 1



[mariodidier001]

All I can say, if an amateur driver broke the lap record, it must be an amazing car...

[MoparAbody1979]

Its an engineer , not a pilot dude ... amazing lap

[itsabobby]

love how the speedometer needle climbs just as fast as the tach...

[GdupD666]

yeah the drivers not the best, they probably could have picked up a half a second with a better driver

[09camaro0909]

With a pro driver it looks like they could pick up about .5

[724tone]

Better driver next time.

[JohnAntonyFortune]

@724tone this driver is faaaaar from being a pro

[SPEEDMARSHALL]

VIPOWER RULES !!

[Kirbyguy222]

Mopar, or no car.

End of story.

[agentry880]

American Muscle at it's best!

[booyahbd]

This car is king. Just a hair over $100k and is one of the fastest cars in the world. Nurburgring, Laguna, pretty much anywhere. I love this vehicle because it absolutely humiliates the Veyron

[Vipercrazy1]

@booyahbd Well said my friend

[fergus1494]

@booyahbd A Veyron isnt designed for anything but top speed. its like a dyno king, you might have your 1000hp but a well setup car with 400 will beat you. Tis all grip. Not the power but how much u can use.. + an ultima gtr would probs kick this record hard, i doubt this thing go's as fast as an fxx.. an ultima gtr has gone faster round tg track

[mcrissjr]

@booyahbd ZR1 beat the ACR at the Ring, lost by a tenth of a second at Laguna Seca.

[booyahbd]

@mcrissjr ZR1 is also excellent, albeit quite difficult to control.

[mcrissjr]

@booyahbd it's actually not hard to drive fast, clarkson just likes to plant his right foot and say "POWERRR". if you leave the stability control on they're predictable on the track. turn that off and you're going to end up backwards in a cloud of tire smoke. but hey, that's the case with any 630hp, RWD, front engine coupe.

[booyahbd]

@mcrissjr Well, difficulty is subjective. In the realm of high power FR cars I'm sure it's nothing out of the ordinary, but compared to the entire spectrum of performance vehicles it isn't quite as behaved.

[Miradart]

I love everything that Pentastarvideo uploads!  I just wish it weren't so popular, because sometimes it takes FOREVER to PLAY!!

Mopars forever!!

[JulzSecreT]

Perfect race and perfect gearing too !
