My kid installed a tuner on his 2021 Mini S. Says it fells like a significant gain.
Click to expand...
the tune on brothers mustang was. it almost got a turbo. he backed out and sold the kit.
it needed a hole drilled in the pan for oil return. i told him the only way i would drill it was
remove the engine and pan. the last thing i wanted was shavings in the pan. the kit he bought would have
give 380hp at the tire. i told him those were big block numbers.

Okay. Full disclosure. I almost killed myself in it.
It is VERY powerful. Extremely, EXTREMELY fast.
I’ve driven Ferrari’s that don’t feel as crazy as this thing. I am frankly afraid of it now.
That’s right. It’s in my garage and I’m afraid to drive it because it’s like a crazy steroid bull that wants to kill me.
I’ve done 130 mph on a Ducati while laughing into the face of death. The viper is a completely different bowl of crack. The engine sounds like 40 pit bulls eating kittens while lifting weights.
I cannot truly explain it’s power. It has whiplash acceleration in 3rd gear at 50mph. That sentence doesn’t even make sense. But it’s true.
That’s why I’m telling you. I will not have your soul on my conscience.
You need to know what you are getting into. What insane level of crazy you are buying.
Can you resist the urge to mash down the accelerator? Can you? Because it’s like owning your own demon. A demon that wants to kill you. We all know one person that for the right amount of money would kill you. But since no one is paying, they smile in your face and go about their day.
It’s like that except the Viper doesn’t bother to ever pretend it doesn’t want to kill you.
And it will do it for free.


Some brilliant engineer designed a beautiful sexy bulging body, fantastic suspension, great handling, aerodynamics, and all American style. While he was out on his lunch break, some demented maniac dropped 100 times more engine power than necessary into it and sent it out the door. It’s mentally unbalanced.

Look,
If you are the type of person that can be talked into having one more drink at midnight when you have a very important presentation or interview early the next morning, then the Viper is not for you.

The whole car is constantly whispering sweet lies to you.
“You got this”.
“Open me up and ride free, you got this”
“What are you a pussy?”
“Just do it”, “Do it”, “you got this”.

Do not do it. You don’t got it. You ARE in fact a pussy. And as we all know, pussy is mad good. But not that good.
You will sit on the curb and settle your heart after it tries to kill you the first time.
You will get back inside and it will immediately get back to the business of trying to get you to let it murder you.
“You got this. This time you know. That last time was just a fluke. You ain’t no pussy”.

Repeat after me.
You
Don’t
Got
This.

But for $30k you can look the devil in the eye and take this ride.

You were warned.

That sounds like the single biggest crock of shit, Ive ever heard... Aside from telling a girl that youre a movie producer, a stinkier concoction of excrement has never been spoken. It's probably a Volkswagen kit car, lol, or a salvage title.

I hear this one all of the time, and it's my pet peeve ... Anyone who tells you how fast they went, over 120 miles and hour, on a motorcycle, is full of shit!!!

Because it takes you at least second to take your eyes off the road, focus on your speedometer, and then look back up at the road. And at 130 mph, you're traveling 190 feet per second... So who's driving on a motorcycle, 130 mph, and going 200 feet with their eyes closed?

In a car, it's not as difficult, because you can glance down, but on a bike, you're going to be crouched down, and you typically have to completely turn your head to see the speedo.

Personally, I dont take my eyes off the road when going over 110 mph, and that's in a car. Maybe jim will disagree... it's not that you cant do it... but then again, technically, you can shave your balls with butane and a lighter.

back when this car was new those were impressive numbers. it is a car i would like to drive. ive looked at wrecks at the salvage auctions before. you can learn a lot walking around looking at the wrecks. saw one of those vipers with the front wheel ripped off. not much damage to the car.

Eyes on the road at speed no matter what the vehicle IMO.
Around here we have forest rats that will hide in the tress and then instantly jump in front of you; and kill you dead. I think you guys call them deer...
