Chris Carter’s Outlaw Promod Dodge Viper 4.15 @ 178 MPH !
 
Can we send the guitar players back to their pizza deliveries and just play the video? Sheesh I’m sick of intro music.
 
Did this car run at MATS in 2016?
 
Cool car...
Love the MoPar-bodied cars, in Pro-mod
Love Pro-mods & Vipers too
almost everyone (even brand X today) runs Hemi's now
all with some sort of power adders,
N2O, Procharger/centrifugal, Roots Blown, Turbos, Methanol/Nitro etc.

Disclaimer;
please, don't get what I'm about to say wrong;

not to rain on anyones' parade
a lil history & facts
not to be overly critical or too ****
a lil' context
that car would NOT qualify you in any NHRA Pro-mod field today
they run 5.70-5.80's @ 250+ in the 1/4 mile @ IIRC 2650#s/526cid limit (blown)
big cid 900+ w/N2O, & some/most will/would be capable run 3.60's to 3.90's
(4.0 all day) 1/8 mile @ 200+

an 1/8 mile 4.15 (x 1.57) is like 6.51 in the 1/4
wouldn't qualify
I do understand that's not the best track/or conditions either
it may run a lot faster at sea level & a better track

don't get me wrong, that's still an impressive #
& a very cool racecar

it's far faster than anything I own/owned 'now'
or will ever own again, probably

--------------------------------------------------------

remember Big Chief (Sean (spell ?) from Street Outlaws,
White CrowMod
IIRC he ran 6.10's in 1/4 & 4.00-ish 190-200-ish in the 1/8
& he couldn't qualify for P/M a few years back
almost all the No-Prep guys are running near/at 4.0-4.40s
a few a lil' faster, dipping into the 3's (maybe hi-3.80's like Ryan Martin)

---------------------------------------------------------

Hell, I ran a best of 4.26 @ 180-ish in the 1/8, way back in 1997,
540cid 3 kits of N2O, in an 87 TransAm (an NHRA legal T/S car)
(later an 89 Camaro IROC (I know), but with a Milodon Blown Hemi
Outlaw/80#'s less ballast @ 2570#s)
I couldn't qualify for/in Pro-Mod
way before double frame rails & everyone running 35" TA/FC tire,
custom 10"+ ring gears etc
& ran 6.69 @ 217 in the 1/4
in 'Calif. Outlaw P/S/Blown Doorslammers' event, at Sears Point

My last altered would do it easily, all day long
but that's a lighter & different animal 'altogether'

It’s an outlaw car not an NHRA car. 1/8 mile car. It’s out of North Carolina. A lot of 1/8 mile tracks in the mid Atlantic states & these cars put on decent shows for them. He was at London, Ky. for the Moparty event
