As the headline goes last night coming home from the gym i was messing with a viper. It was me and another board member, we started on a rolling start and were kind of playing around and to my surprise we actually kept up. Now here comes the real story i lined up with the viper and did a first gear rolling start. As soon as i shifted into second the monster torque advantage of the viper sent him crusing by me to at least a 2 car lead. he shut it down at about 80 but i had noticed he was not pulling as badly. Afterward we talked and he said he only had exhaust done to his car, He was right that thing was loud especially going by me with my windows down. My question is 1. has anybody here ever raced a viper? If so what was the outcome, and 2. what would happen after 100? would he stop pulling? would i catch up?

Thanks in advance
:cheers:

UFH is the man!! He truly is one of the nicer people I have ever met through the internet. The whole NY crew is great...but Greg has nothing but love, the man has a great heart and invites total strangers to his house to swim, eat, and drink. Very good person and nice family.
