Default I just ran a viper rt/10!!

i was on my way to work... i saw this black viper sitting at the light in the center lane.. i pull up in the right lane.. i loook over at the same time the viper owner is looking over.. black w/ the removable top taken off.. dirty haired blonde dude driving.. i see him inch up.. so i get ready to do a lil off idle action.. since i know i wont hook if i launch.

1st run:
light goes green.. wheel hop, tire smoke and all.. i'm still ahead out of first.. shift to second and he pulls past me.. shift to 3rd and stay there.. we take it up to about 110 before letting out.. i was a lil over 1 car back. he slowed down and gave the thumbs up.

2nd run:
he matchs speed we're going 45 this time.. i drop to second.. we take off.. to my suprise i jumped out a car on him.. and he stayed back.. maybe he left late


he wanted another run after that..followed me to the highway.. too much traffic.. he was cool about it..threw the duce and went on his way goin off the exit ramp.

yea, good run, but seems viper wasn't playing seriously with you...

especially you "wheel hop, tire smoke and all"

vipers 1st gear go to about 60mph, i doubt he was in first or even in 2nd when you did second run

Its hard to tell the 1st gen (400hp) from the 2nd gen (450) in the RT/10 unless you know what to look for. Easy enough for me to believe that a 1st gen would be a close match (as described).

Sounded like fun races, good kills/deaths.

^ Yeah. The 400 h.p. '92-'95 Vipers would be better matches for the modded LS1 than the 450 h.p. '96-'02 Vipers.

Insom's doing 372rwhp, so thats about what 440-450 flywheel Hp right? Viper(depending on year) are rated 450hp at the Flwheel, seem pretty equal race to me, and since the viper weighs more than insom's why is this so hard to believe?
