Did a little "snake charming" Sunday. So Sunday was absolutely beautiful outside so I decide to drive the "SLOMARO". I was just cruising around with the tunes playing and the windows down and I see a Viper going the other direction. I pull a quick U-turn and try to catch him after a few minutes I catch him sitting at a red light. I roll up on him he's in a 98ish Viper RT convertible. He has the top and windows down so he hears the blop-bl-blop noise coming from my tru-duals and he looks over.
I'm staring his direction and I give him the "nod" he looks my car over and says "you don't have enough" I reply "I wouldn't be so sure about that. He basically blurts out the 98 Dodge Viper brochure that the salesman gave him when he bought it. I tell him I've got a dyno sheet proving I've got enough and if you want to find out well just try me. The guy just calls me a liar and and says you aren't worth my time, gas, blah blah. I flip open my ash tray and hit my purge button and his face goes as white as a sheet. He calmly rolls his window up and refuses to look back over at me. The light turns green and he just sits there till I roll away from him and I never see him again.

Thanks for the Compliments!!! This really made my day but I just wish he would've at least tried a little bit. I very well could have lost but I've never raced a Viper and I sure would like to.

In all fairness lots of people just dont street race. Especiall 45 yearold higher end car owners.
He was a puss with the more than you can afford pal bs and the excuses.
If your scared to street race just say sorry man I dont street race. All the not worth my time bs is just excuses.
Your viper race will come. This time you were hunting. But next time one may be hunting you.

This guy was in his 30's. Yeah I agree he was a puss I'm guessing he thought his crap didn't stink and because my car didn't cost over 50K I wasn't as fast as him. Well needless to say I proved him wrong and he just wimped out. Bottom Line guy was a TOOL.

I agree such a tool, a simple nice ride would have been better than trying to act better than someone, ya knows turbos and sc are cool but when your at a light and someone throws out some revs there is nothing like watching there face as you hit the purge lol

Yep. One thing ive realized is that how much money you have or the type of car you own dosent make you better than anyone else.
Though there are many people who will asume your life is great because of your money or your car.
Many great people out there dtiving cars as lowly as civics who wanna street race and have fun. And are better as a person than many others who have money. As well as happier.
With that said I personally wont race someone unless they have a gt500 corvette or up. Basically minimum 45k car or tremendous street cred such as a gandnational or supra.
Its not that I think Im better or my cars all that.
Times have changed and street raceing laws are much harder and greatly enforced.
I gain nonthing from beating or loseing to a fbody with nos or supercharged mach1 or tt civic. If I win Im supposed to win cas my car has a v10 ect. If I lose then that car gets a lil street cred. But when I win I get nothing.
If Im gonna risk my drivers license and in turn my job plus possibly have my car taken then Im running for street cred.
Vettes cobras gtrs lambos supras ect. Give me that. I actually gain somthing and justify the risk to a degree.
No risk and Id gladly race every sprayed fbody I come across. But as it is now I just cant do that anymore.

To me no. Being brutally honest.
A z06 or supra or even cobra have street cred from there names alone. I think weve all dreamed of running these cars.
I think we build our cars to be able to run with the factory 12 11 and 10 second cars.
I know when my vette was running 13.5 and I modded it to 12.8s the first thing I was thinking was I wanna run a z06 or viper. sure I would probally lose but I wanted the chance.
I mean sure if Im a personal friend with somebody who has a sprayed fbody then hell yea Ill do it. But Im not goin out of my way to race someone with a supercharged mustang who wants to race me.
Its all about the risk. Where Im from in virginia Id race anyone. Theres so many long straight roads with very little police activity.
But where Im at now you will pass 3-5 cops on your average day.
Gotta be worth it.
This viper owner seemed like an arrogant jackass. It wasnt about risk ect. With him. It was the your not worthy.
More ten second fbodies in the united states than just about any car. Could have defiently got his *** smoked
