I kind of wish I would have gotten one because it would be sitting with a BIG NASTY turbo kit on her!!!

It should be a damn quick car with minor bolt-ons. I have a feeling it would take me the race gas in the car to give ya a good run, esp with how good they run stock!!
Should have listened to me and bought a Z06 or viper!
You are going to want to sell that **** helmet when I'm coming around you in the vette!

Garett, we should get a track rental going at Lone Star. Test the stock '08 Viper vs the stock '09 Z06. I could do a nice write-up and photo shoot on a story like that. Mine went 11.55 @ 125 already, but I think it can easily get into the 11.3s with better air and traction.

LOL @ the 1-up comments. Please nobody do that, it just means my sickness is worse than most. I just have fun trying to 1-up myself

If anything, Chris races his car too much .

You're ready for the mountain again? Hopefully you've read up on some etiquette and won't be cutting people off / causing wrecks

The only wrecks I'm going to cause are with the little 8 year old kids when I trip them for making me look bad..... they are out there doing double backflips and skiing around me laughing as i fall..... punks. lol j/p I've been saving up for the last year so I can afford to get lushed up on $50 beers at the top of the mountain.
