208 MPH Hennessey Viper

Having just spent the past week running with a Hennessey Jeep on the Bullrun, we have ultimate respect for what John Hennessey can do to a car's performance.

Get a tour of the engine compartment of the Hennessey Viper from our test driver, John, as he prepares to take the snake over 200mph. Last year's car did a whopping 225MPH with 300 less horsepower, but the boys are having some trouble putting all that power to the ground.

After a 1st run of 208MPH the transmission causes some problems. After a 30 minute tranny swap out, they then run into some computer issues in 5th gear. Jeez, what ya gotta do to get a clean run over 220mph around here?!

But don't worry, we'll be bringing you an even faster Part 2 of this Podcast, so stay tuned.

1700HP Dodge Viper Twin Turbo

solidsnake01 has shared a solid vid with us here.

How does a 1700hp Dodge Viper Twin Turbo sound? Pretty sweet, right? This is Jerry Kennedy's 2002 Heffner Twin Turbo GTS being driven at the track for the first time by Gary Javo.

Get on board as this beast prepares to hurtle down the drag strip. It can't even get to the start line without getting sideways!

As you might expect, Gary's times are insanely fast and the in-car rumble and roar from the engine and exhaust are fantastic.

Even with a slow start and missed gear, Gary's running a 8.75 1/4 mile. Er, did we mention this car is fast?

Get ready to rumble in the 1700hp Dodge Viper Twin Turbo

Sam Hubinette Drives Fast & Furious

While we endeavor to bring you great videos, some are a little more special than others and they find a home at BestofStreetFire

And what better place to find this ridiculous video of Sam Hubinette doing what he does best? You have a front row seat from which to watch the crazy Swede drift his Mopar-modified Viper.

Get a birds-eye view from the tip of his rear wing, see the smoke start to billow from just behind his front tire and sit atop the windsheild as the car glides left and right.

Unsurprisingly, Sam has to pit to change his completely f***ed up tires, but then it's straight back out to enjoy the open expanse of tarmac.

Best of all, he's not even competing. Just a seriously-skilled drifter having some fun.

To see how he competes, watch Sam vs Ken Gushi
