Race into a beautiful blue gen5 viper this morning.
I left a coffee/car meet and was cruising along the freeway in the 04.
I see the viper and we start pacing each other through traffic. I down shift to 4th, do a little pull in front of him to 90 or so for kicks. he keeps up.
60 seconds later, we caught an open stretch of road, I'm in the fast lane and he's one over.
I down shift to 3rd doing about 60. We line up and I immediately start to count it off with my right hand. Just before I get to "three" I look over at him and he was counting it off with his hands as well a little slower...anyway I mash it, car dead hooks, but I did jump him on the start, and shot out about 1/2 a car...I stay in it and I short shift to 4th, 5900 ish rpm. He's right there and jumps back even with me. 4th is acting lazy from the short shift from 3rd and he starts pulling past me, and now I'm about 1/2 a car back. I keep the throttle pinned until 7K. Car is freight training and was back door to door with him by 140! Great freaking race.
On the shifting, my clutch is acting a little funny high RPMs, so I shifted early to make sure I could hit 4th. But from 5500-7000 the car just pulls hard.
The viper - goes by sneakysnakes on youtube. Looks like hes heads/cam and stroker motor.
EDIT : Well the guy video'd it
Only pic I got of the car lol..
