Default Viper Death

So im driving home from the gym the other night, down a quiet back road. Time is about 0130, im in my 1996 and all of a sudden a yellow viper (probably 1999-2002 def not new one) almost pulls out in front of me!!!!!!! So I go around him and he gets RIGHT on my ***. I knew he wanted to go, so i FLOOR it from 50-52 and so does he . Within approximatly 2-4 seconds he flys past me (on a double yellow line) and puts on bus lengths. Finally we catch a light where he is turning left and I get up beside him and give him a thumbs up and yell "that was fing awesome", he laughs and drives off.

Disclaimer: I KNEW I WOULD LOOSE BUT I HAD FUN ANYWAY. So dont bust my *****. I find it an honor to be beaten by such a superior vehicle.

Good death, but from the way you are telling the story it seems like the viper owner is a *****.
