On the last run based on the boost curve and where it was headed the car was going to north of 230. Unfortunately the motor started to hiccup and the driver got out of it before anything serious happened. Again - pushing 3000+ through a TH400. Insanity.

For those who are interested; here is the motor shot on the viper:

Viper GTS is my next car. Just a sledgehammer with no finesse. 180 from a 911, but I love them!
