Those CTVs are bad-assed. I am sure he was surprised to get killed by one. Good kill.

Viper hunting is a pain in the *** from the experiences I've had. They are hard to find and when you do find them most don't want to race because they are driven by 80 y/o ladies. And when they do want to race it's a twin turbo GTS that makes 1,000 hp lol.

92-95 (400HP) 12.8-13.2 car at 111-114 mph

96-2002 (450HP) 11.9-12.3 car at 116-119 mph

2003-2006 (510HP) 11.8-12.2 car at 119-122 mph

2008-2010 (600HP) 11.2-11.6 at 126-130 mph

The new CTSV's are no joke with just pulley and tune. Low 120's car. You defiently beat a 03-06 model though. The 2008's will take out a ZR1 from 0-140 mph. They are very fast..

Great kill and must have been fun

Did anyone ever do another comparison test with the 2010 Viper's revised 5th gear and see how it keeps up with the ZR1 past 140mph?

Nice kill! To all the viper nut riders it’s a 4400LB FOUR DOOR CADDILAC.
I'd bet money the guy in the viper was thinking why waste my time with this dumbass but then oh shi-. Would have loved to see the look on his face.

Who cares if the Viper lost to a 12,000 lb. semi? Viper guy still won at the end of the day (imo)

And I think you misspelled "Cadillac."

I bet the owner of a Viper would care if he got beat by a semi.

LOL... but he's acting as if weight decides whether or not your car is faster. It's not the only variable playing into the situation....

I know, and I got your sarcasm, but I couldn't resist the jab when I pictured a Viper getting yanked by a semi truck and then the guy in the Viper just being like, "good race man, that truck rolls out hard!"

I don't know... if I was in a Viper (even a stock '93 rt/10) and I got yanked by a semi truck you'd better believe I'd give him respect for it!

92-2006 Viper guys are well aware of how quickly the 112-115 mph CTSV turns into a 120-123 MPH 1/4 mile CTSV. Quite a few of our members have them and yes they roll out. Especially in the upper digits.

Awesome car for what??? 60K or so.

Id love to get one as a DD

I'm trying to setup a race this spring once my t/a is complete with a new viper that is the same color scheme as above(think it's an 09). Should be fun, but he wants to go from a roll. Since he runs for kicks I'll oblige him.

Good kill OP

Having respect for it doesn't mean he has to be happy about it

Too true man. I wouldn't be ecstatic for sure.

Yep, I can understand that though. From a roll with a stalled auto will be interesting. No idea what to expect. I'll have to learn how to break boost so that viper doesn't put too many lengths on me from the go. Otherwise I hope to catch him before he pulls a killemallshutdown on me
