Oh man, that's awesome. How many Vipers have you run yet? You should be able to beat a stock Viper GTS (both of you with drag radials) if you continue to use good driving skills and perhaps improve your launch a bit.

What is your rev limiter set at?

Just wondering: are you saying that your friend ran 12.4s without nitrous and ran dead even with a friend of his who, with a 150shot nitrous, runs 11.9s? or are you saying that your friend who runs 12.4s used a 150shot nitrous to run dead even with the 11.9s guy?

I will assume you ran 12.3 @ 119 on drag radials and since you're having traction problems through mainly first and second, 11.9s for your car are only a matter of getting traction (ET Streets). So, you could say you run 12.3s on street tires and mid to low 11s on slicks.
