Saw this yesterday. It was parked in back of a car lot along with quite a few older cars.

I been converted to a fan. I saw first hand one of those take off at a light right next to me. I never saw anything in real life take off that fast, I was stupefied.
Beating modern "modded muscle cars." They'll surprise you for sure.

I'm not a fan like "I gotta have one". Just because it is different and unique. From a mechanical standpoint. I will always be a gas guzzling truck/mud mower/weedeater/blower/chainsaw man at heart. I do love my cordeless Metabo drill and impact driver though.

Yeah. Electric motors have instantaneous 100% torque. The vehicles are all fairly heavily limited on the applied amount of torque from a stop. Still quick af for sure.

Nope I haven't had the pleasure. And I never been to any fast racing events. Just truck pulls waaay back in the day and dirt track open wheel roundy rounders. Watched plenty of videos but they don't do the justice of seeing something in person. That really knocked my socks off seeing that thing take off.

Not knocking the Viper, but I would rather have a GMC Typhoon... 0-60 in 4.9 secs bone stock, from a V6 powered 4000 lb truck.... Yes please.... lol

I have always thought the Vipers were over priced/hyped... it's a V10 big block for crying out loud... I would certainly hope it would be fast. The Vettes turned similar numbers back in the day from a small block V8.... just saying.

I had a 92--It was FAST!! Straight up 13 sec truck. Not bad for a brick. When the turbo kicked in it was literally a kick in the ass. And mine was bone stock.
