How does the Vector/Rage compare to the Viper? Acceleration, tope speed, ride, ettc, etc. I am considering a change and want to know what to expect. Thanks

I ran with a Viper accross a lake with my Nytro. I had him off the start and for quite a long ways before he finally caught up. He said he had a hard time catching up to me and was impressed. (and his Viper has had a couple of things done to it, not sure of everything, but I know some clutch work anyway) My Nytro was stock. Vector should be a little faster than the Nytro.

I ran a Viper and never saw it until he passed me at about 80. This was on a snow covered airport runway in the UP. They are hard to beat off the line.

When i had my viper i could consistantly get 112 on the dreamomoter and that was on the trail on railbed. On ice the most i ever saw on the dream meter was 117. Now the most i have ever seen on my vector was 110 on the meter and that was on ice. I am guess that i could kill a viper in the quarter but i top end i will get smoked.

I blow my brother's Viper away every single time out of the hole and up through mid range. He eventually catches me on top end though.
