One is a black Viper avec supercharger owned by a clone of Martin O'Neil called Joel English () 215.7 mph in 1.3 miles at Woodbridge...Awesome thing.

The other is a 16 year old Sapphire by M.A.Developments. Mad thing that went 206.7 in 1.1 miles. Very nice guy owns it called Mark Shead? Imagine the aerodynamics at that speed. Hero!

The SL65 only managed 187.3 at Woodbridge.

That viper was unreal. I did have to laugh that he put the power down a little too much on the qtr mile, and headded straight for the tree's. Everyone was ok though, including the car

The Cossie was only geared to 209mph, that is its max and he has only has 201.8 at brunters. so to get 3 mph within its limits was a real achievement... it runs 750 bhp with 150 progressive NOS

God know what the Viper was capable of...

there easy to find as they are both PH members, mostly posting in the viper forum

a slight correction it was the blue viper that had a bit of trouble not the black one.. first run down the 1/4 it was raining, wheels spinning all the way up into third struggling for traction, dropped into fourth to releive the wheel spin then booted it, hit the wet painted squares on the tarmac (wasnt told about them !).. apprantly felt like ice and the car slipped...car OK, so carried on to reach 188mph at the end of the day...ohh it wasnt a guy driving it either

the black viper wasnt flat out and still has more to come

Yes but can the drivers of the other 2 cars watch the TV while getting a massage at 187.3 mph?

Exactly.

Sorry Neil... Glad everyone was OK, from where I was standing it looked like you had made the bend at the end of the Qtr mile...

The vipers rocked on the day, just unreal.

Mr F it wasnt me, I wasnt even there unfortunately, the way I've wrote it you mis-understood, my fault. The little story is how I heard it first hand from the owner, a young lady PH viper forum poster.
