Think about it, people pay $90K for a new Viper that'll run 11's. For the same price you get a Viper truck that runs 10's, I don't think it's that bad. When I win the $170 million jackpot this Friday, I'll get one and let ya know how I like it

It's true, they are difficult to launch consistently. The tire size is the problem. There just aren't any DRs or slicks for 22" wheels. But, for all other types of driving/racing the tires/brakes are a huge positive. Bogart wheels near San Diego has developed a set of 18s for front and back that are strong enough for drag racing and will clear our brakes. Now we can run DRs at the strip if we want.

The Hennessey truck in the video ran slicks. Hennessey has a kit to go smaller on the rear brakes to fit a drag wheel/slicks on the truck.

BTW, that's a very nice Dak. Very cool!

I would kill myself. It would be wrapped around a pole somewhere.

Yea, I bet Parish would.... but there is no comparison.... I would NOT spend the money on either of them.... But both of them have great positives.... Parish has the best sleeper on earth.. There is NOTHING sleeper about the Venom...
Rather spend my cash on a monster Hemi....
