Arrow some fun with a viper.....

so I was driving home tonight, just cruising along. I looked back and saw a silver viper pull onto the road. I slowed down to check it out. the light was red ahead and there was a car ahead of both of us. I glanced over but his window was up. I gave my car a little gas to see if he wanted to play. no bite. I made my way through traffic and caught the light again. this time he pulls up next to me with only the empty road in front of us. I looked over again and inched forward. the light turned green and we rolled together then I started giving it some gas, taunting him. He stepped on the gas ( man they sound good) by this time I was in second and floored my car, shifting into third. He shifted into second and was side by side with my car. he let off the gas after that though..we met up at a light again and gave each other a nod, and went our seperate ways

he would have murdered me if he kept going but it was still fun to play around with one.

sounds like it was fun. I love playing with cars that I have not chance with. But they see a caddy with four doors next to them they think in a grandpa. I do just like you. Give it a little gas...They hear the slight rumble of my stock exhaust and bam its on. But not for long. I expect to get beat but its the fun of it.

You have nothing done to your car and you were even with a Viper ??? I am not going to call BS, but maybe the Viper didn't give it his all. With the couple mods you have the Viper should've ate you alive with minimal effort. Good run, messing with the mean and nasty VIPER.

Did you look over and see a monkey or a women driving the car by any chance?

If you have a caddy with four doors in my town you're probably on dubs and have a really dark tan lol

Probobly right, I rode in my boss's viper a couple of years ago and it seemed to like to trash the tires (expensive) in 1st and 2nd, so he never gave it everything on the street. That was an 04 though.

no, he was in first and i was ahead ( his fender was at the rear of my car) , he shifted into second and let off the gas. he let off when we were even. does that make more sense?? i was flooring it and he reeled me in very quickly until we were even and let off. IDk it he was giving it his all but thats what happened.

Not really. It have a V tag on the sides and Back and it is faster stock to stock with most other 4 door cars. It's got 400 pony's and a 6 spd tremec tranny. I don't know too many dark tan people with DUBS that can say that.
