Just got back from the racetrack (Miland Dragway) http://www.milandragway.com (site seems to be down right now)

Anyway, well it was a 30 - 40 minute drive for me from Dearborn, MI. I got to a road right by it and to my suprise there was a Red 2001 viper with silver stripes running around in there. I stepped the gas so I could see that baby run. I get inside and I park my car and sat in the blechers. It was the Viper vs. Some old z00ped up car with huge slicks. I was like "asdfshfkjlh the viper's going to take THAT? ahhh" Well.... the light went and there they go. The viper driver SUCKED. He had a late start PLUS he was spinning some in 1st AND 2nd gear. The old car managed to pull off a 10.35 second pass, and the Viper took 13.00 seconds :-\. (In case you didn't know I love the viper so it hurt my eyes to watch )



*sigh*

The late start won't matter, you can sit at the light and have what we call a "Picnic" and the timer won't start.

Don't be sad, Modded cars will always be the king :) Individual creations are always better then manufacturer :)... well if done right ;)

its not the first time a viper has been killed by a modded car. If I can find the link, there is a viper getting killed by a neon.

Doesn't matter who was driving the Viper if it was up against a 10 second car. It was going to get spanked either way.

I've seen videos of this van. It's in IGN's hardcore videos section. The van spanks just about anything put up against it. Such a sweet sleeper car :D
