The information came from our DC Rep (who comes by once every two weeks)
so I'll dbl-check with him next week.
Granted, it did seem a little bit fast (MPH wise), but I'll see if he
has any actual timeslips (or if they have them available somewhere
internally). Trap speed wise, it's very possible as there are quite a
few older Rams in that time-frame.

Don't know where you got your numbers Bernd, but you might want to look
in the MP Chassis book for something more realistic. Using their weight
to power ( W/P ) ratio a vehicle weighing 5200 lbs would require about
852 HP to run 130 in the quarter. Considering the aerodynamics of a
truck, I'd say it would need to make even more.
Giving you the benefit of a doubt, it appears someone's blowing smoke
your way if they're saying they have a naturally aspirated, Viper
powered, 5200
lb Ram running 130 in the quarter. Even Hennessey Performance's site
doesn't list any "additions" without turbos making enough power to do
that. Oh, and run the W/P ratios against their Venom 650 R performance.
Comes out pretty close using 3400 lbs weight for a Viper SRT-10.
