Default Reeled in a Viper

He passed me and a car in front of me, at what sounded like wot. After he got past me I went hammer down. I was on his bumper by 100. Not enough road to pass but, the wife could see his eyes in his rear view. She said he looked surprised to say the lest. There wasn't a spot in the road strait enough to try and get around him and I wasn't going to **** with a Viper on the corners. Anyway this happed a couple hours ago and the wife's starting to make fun of me because I can't stop grinning.

Not only 6 psi I'm running a little rich too. When he passed I'm pretty sure he was at wot but I don't think he made the shift very good or he let up because I caught up way to fast. None the less still shocked the **** out of him.

I feel bad for the minnie van we passed thou. I did a fly by to a friend before and he said he damn near pooped his pants. Said he never been passed by a jet before but now he knows what it would be like. So I'm guessing the turbo makes a little noise.

That makes a lot more sense now! The newer models would be a lot harder to reel in!

Definitely. There's more than a second 1/4 difference in a newer model than the R/T he raced. Still amazing machine nonetheless. Good work OP.
