Default Tahoe vs Viper GTS

Today I was in traffic when a spotted a Black Viper GTS,so I fell in behind him as he accelarated clear of traffic and pulled next to him at the next redlight.There is no traffic ahead and we are on a divided highway so I figure what the heck,so I rev the motor a couple of times and bark the tires to let the guy know my intentions.When the light turns green we both hit it hard,my Tahoe is kind of skating the rear biting for traction and to about 50mph the Viper is side by side with me,then the Tahoe gets a bite and slowly eases away I let off about 110 with the Viper 2 to 3 truck lengths behind.Then I pull up next to him to give him a thumbs up and the guy slinks down in the seat he so embarrised he won't even look my direction and pulls of at the first exit to escape further humiliation. https://ls1tech.com/forums/newthread...ewthread&f=36#

Damn nice kill dude.. I think I would be pissed too if I got my *** handed to me by a tahoe and if I was in a Viper... What kind of times does that thing run??? From what I saw in your sig it sounds pretty nice..

I haven't taken the new setup to the track yet,I'm hoping that a set of ET street radials will help me hookup the new FI 402.It's hard to hookup 618 rwhp.even in a heavy SUV.With my old FI 5.3 the Tahoe could barely get into the high 12s.

I thought your whole story was supposed to be a joke, and was expecting you to say at the end "... and yeah he wasn't even racing, BUT I STILL WON!!"...

...and then I checked your sig.

You're in memphis? I'm up there every now and then. Do you have any vids of the tahoe running? I'd like to see it. A Tahoe bitchslapping a viper would be a pretty popular video.
