Traction is what you need a dragstrip but finding traction on a 1500+ hp viper will be a job for sherlock holmes or nasa.
Here a video the styker viper whit no good traction.
And i think the 1500 whp viper is a dynoqueen if it can't put the power down.
The only 1500 whp car that can puts it's power down is the marko d supra the famous white supra.
off topic
Marko d supra has fit some new turbo's they are just a bit bigger than the old ones
He has run 1/4 of 8,80 seconds at 174 at the 2006 texas supra meet whit some leaking injector spacers than nitrous backfire whit fuel sprayed over the intake.
 
Traction less svs stryker viper

Marko Supra is impressive but I guess you guys have forgotten the 1400rwhp Viper that did 8.5 @ 176mph at the "Pump Gas Drags" with full interior, 6 speed, IRS and weighted in at over 3800lbs with stereo equipment...As for the viper not being able to hook up 1500 hp...Ever heard of drag tires? Do you think Marko ran those times on real street tires???As for the 230mph not being possible on a Viper...Why not....A 650 crank hp Viper topped out at 215 mph in Car and Driver test....With 1500hp why do you think it will struggle to get a measily 15 more mph to get to 230 and beyond....
Stock the GTS vipers topped out at 192mph according to MotorTrends tests and that with 420rwhp....Do the math people...The Vipers gearing is geared for it to reach a theoretical top speed over 300mph..In stock form it cant do this of course. But with "1500rwhp" and the stock gearing it can get well over 230-240 or as fast as its aerodynamics will allow it...The SVS Stryker did 246mph I believe at the Salt Flats and it wasnt making 1500hp if memory serves...So thats and indication of what a properly set up Viper can do if you want top speed....As for turns it can be set up to do battle with a Veyron on any track...IF you have money you can make any car beat another....But in this case you will still be driving home in a lesser car than the Veyron...
