Had some fun with a Viper

I'm used to being one of the faster cars around when I'm heading home from work. The other day, I head home a different way to enjoy some less-driven backroads. I'm winding through with the sunroof open and I see this big black viper come up behind me. He tails me to egg me on. Of course, I'm all about having some fun so I hit it and take corners where the Potenza's are chirping. The viper is glued to my bumper. He missed one turn where he fell behind for a second, but I tell you what, it was only for a second.

Once we caught up with some traffic, we both slowed and he backed off. Good times. (Even though I got owned.)

I saw a stock Viper at Orlando Speed World run a 12.57 @114mph.

I also saw djniknala run a 12.55 @114mph the same evening. He has a Greddy TT and built engine that isn't tuned properly yet.

Point is, vipers are fast but the G can be made into a good competitor.

What year was the Viper? That's not a bad time for an early Gen I or Gen II, but if it was a new 2005, then that is an embarrassing time for a Viper. They typically run 11.8's to 12.0's at low to mid 120 traps.

Don't forget that a properly tuned and built TT Viper can easily put out 1,000hp and an un-godly amount of torque.

Well the hood opened like the hood on a G and the body style led me to believe it was a newer model. There was another Viper there that had a hood hinged from the front but I don't remember his times. That body style looked more like an older model.

Then again, I'm not a viper follower.
