It doesn't matter. He will still lose to that GT-R and edit the film to make it look like he won. For instance he will probably start the film at the end of the race and run it in reverse so it looks like he is ahead the whole time. The problem with that is the other car will always pull even unless the other car gets a jump.

The OE or OEM cams are from Mopar Performance Parts. I'm assuming the one he is using is from the Gen 4 (2008-up) Viper. Again just assuming.

Great kill, man!
Stories like this are very real world to me, as alot of people think that a 20 rwhp gain is going to feel earth shattering, but then they realize that even a 50 rwhp gain doesn't hit like they thought it would (although it is relative to the power you're making). You really need a good before/after race or 1/4 runs to see just how much faster the car is.
I got a similar story. Right after I put my cam in I was feeling unbeatable (gained 70 rwhp). To cement that feeling I raced a 1996 convertible GT and destroyed it, only to have the kid ask me if my car was supercharged. I told him no and he said that his was, lol. Then the next night I went out and lined up next to a 2004 Cobra and proceeded to get walked by 4 cars from 60-the top of 4th. The Cobra ended up having a ported blower and made 500+ rwhp. Then I was left with the "there's always someone faster" feeling
