You betcha bud!

Agree with everything you said there.... especially the part where so many people were turned away or just turned off by the Viper.

BTW, I can't wait to come back and change my vote to over 100MPH!

Old Forge shootout turbo viper ran 87 in 1000 ft. and the stock Viper ran 80 in 1000 ft. The turbo was set up to Yamaha's warranty standards 4 or 5 pounds of boost I would think. The 800 all ran around 87 in 1000 ft.

Makes sense. Turbo takes the sled from a very strong 600 class to an 800 class. It brings the HP above any other stock sled. If well set up, it should theoretically out run anything stock with little difficulty.

My old Viper was a consistent 85 to 90 MPH sled only ideal condition would the sled see over 90 and one time I saw 95 and that was because the suspension was so soft the sled was dragging the snow flap. I am on the lakes so the sled is to the bar a lot.

This was one of my Nytro (82mph) and Viper runs in 450 ft. radar .... This was 2014 with clutching and aftermarket muffler. I got 2nd this event with an 84mph and the kid placed 3rd with an 83mph on the Nytro. A piped, clutched and picked modded Thundercat won it with an 85mph. I can't believe the mph isn't more for them racing 1000 feet.

Wish I could have been at the shootout

Edit also a slightly modded apex ridden by a good friend of mine is walking away from me still....those things are so fast.
