Death by Viper-fly by! I was cruising along the highway a little bit ago, coming up to an on ramp when I see a brand new Viper getting on. I'm doing about 80 and roll by him and give him a "thumbs up", and he doesn't even look over 
So I keep on criusing and after about a mile he has crept up on me and decides to rice by me. I was still doing 80, which is a dead spot for me, but still put the pedal down to see what would happen. He went right by me 
We got caught in traffic a bit and I got up next to him. He still wouldn't look over! Traffic cleared and we were doing 70, which works better for me and I figured since I was the underdog I punched it. He took the bait and up to 120 he was slowly gaining but didn't get by me before we had to let off. Either he was just messing with me or didn't want to abuse his baby!! I ended up getting off a couple of exits later and this time his girl waved as they went by. It was fun to finally mess around with a nice ride like that.

I actually ran into 5 vipers the other day on my way home from work. 2 gts's 2 rt/10's and one srt/10 They must have been cruising to a meet, it was a beutiful sunday afternoon. I was just staring in awe for a good 7 miles until we hit the highway at which point they went west and I had to go east. Man i wish I would have taken the Z06 to work that day.
